If your reading this..........

If you are reading this chances are you are already in need of a DWI lawyer. If not, then do some preventative maintenance and grab one of their cards from the office. Read the back of the card and keep it in your wallet in the unfortunate turn of events that you need their services. Now, for those o...f you that (like myself) were in need of a dwi attorney, look no further. This team will go above and beyond the call of duty in your defense. There are other dwi attorneys out there, but whereas Todd will be the one with you at every court appearance, many of the competing firms will have a paralegal by your side. I had a felony dwi accompanied by no less than eleven tickets. Everything was wrapped up under a misdemeanor dwi with no probation. I'm not bragging about getting away with my actions by any means. I was in the wrong and I paid and continue to pay for my actions that night. I AM however, in complete awe of the professionalism and dedication provided me by Wisner and Wisner. Todd in himself is amazing, but his entire team, especially a particular paralegal by the name of Janna were with me the entire time. Every time I felt the odds were insurmountable with no chance of getting through this, Janna was there for me. I have the utmost respect for any firm that treats their clients as more of a family member than simply a customer. If like myself, you made a mistake and are in need of legal representation do yourself a favor and set up a consultation. You simply cannot afford not to.

DWI Defense was excellent- not quilty on four charges

After a few decades of no blemishes with our DMV, I was arrested for a DWI. It was the most difficult thing I had to endure in my life so far. I'm so fortunate to have Todd Wisner in my corner. From the initial week and an almost full year process, I could have been more pleased with the skill he dem...onstrated and the eventual not guilty outcome. During the process, I was required to take dependency classes and met many folks in similar situations. As we discussed the legal process and professional guidance I received through Wisner & Wisner, most all wished they selected who I had for representation. Many were represented by the firms that advertise heavily, only to be let down and felt not cared about. I found myself in a very vulnerable spot, where I had zero experience and needed someone I could count on. My trial was won by Mr. Wisner's ability to tease apart several details and find case law to support my situation. The package wasn't some boiler plate of legalize but rather very specific arguments and supporting legal cases. This took a lot of hard work and diligence. I came away feeling like I was his only client. In fact I was probably one of hundreds this firm has. Without any reservation, I recommend Todd Wisner to others for DWI Defense.

Thank you Mr. Wisner

When I was first arrested for a DWI charge I felt as though my life would be tainted with what happened. Mr. Wisner assured me that this charge would be reduced, and he did just that. It was a very long drawn out process over a year long. However, I knew it was not my attorneys fault it took that lon...g. I am very satisfied with Mr. Wisner and his staff for all they did for me. I learned a huge lesson in life from this whole experience and I cannot thank Mr. Wisner and staff enough for all they did.

DWI case

Hiring Todd was the best decision I made after I got my DWI. My case lasted longer than i expected, but the outcome of my case was better than I expected. All four of my tickets from my incident including my DWI ticket got lumped into one minor DWAI charge with the minimum fines. My main concern w...as how long this would interfere with my family and day to day activities after I was convicted. 3 months has passed since my conviction and i am days away from getting my license back, all of my fines are paid off, no probation, and I did not have to have the breathalyzer installed in my car. Thank you Mr. Wisner and your staff.

Todd and his team were very professional, knew what to do and as a result of their expertise, were able to get both my Criminal and DMV case dismissed. I would recommend his team to anyone in need
