Gail Marr

I had an accident while driving under the influence. Many people do it. It happens much more often than it should. People become complacent or believe they have better control than the rest of the people. I've become much more aware of how often it happens since the incident. At the time, I pani...cked and left the scene (the car could not be driven) and was missing for several hours. A search team was dispatched but they did not find me. After several hours I turned myself in. They issued a field sobriety test and took me in for bloodwork. The results were lower than 0.08, but they back-calculated and extrapolated my BAC to the highest level at the time of the accident. The charges were filed and I was notified that I had to appear in court. I was inundated with letters from all the local lawyers anxiously courting me for business. I suspect that some accidentally reached the mailboxes of my nearby neighbors. If you are reading this, you are probably familiar with the level to which this suspected embarrassment can compound your already terrorized psychological welfare. I chose Gail from the assortment of would-be representatives because her letter came with a book that explained a lot about the process in which I would soon be involved yet was lacking in clarity via incessant searches of the internet (much like you now) for wisdom and the answer to my prayers. Much as I hoped it was all a dream and that I would wake to return to my life as if nothing had happened, something was fighting to prevent me from doing so. I was shattered and spent many nights crying (I'm a pretty big guy and a father and husband and professionally employed). Many times I felt like my life was over and I had ruined what had been so underappreciated before. Gail came through for me on several occasions, talking me through what the reality was and helping to understand what to expect and how to put things in their proper perspective. She prepared me for the first hearing at the magistrate. We arrived early and waited for the police officer to arrive. Immediately, Gail took the officer aside and had a private conversation with him, then called the district attorney and talk to her, and then had the police officer talk to her. When we entered the courtroom, Gail proposed that I be allowed to apply for ARD and that she had already been authorized to reduce the charge to a lower level. The fleeing the accident charge remained, but it was obvious that the judge was upset at reducing the charge. This was the first hearing. Subsequently, another hearing was set to see the D.A. At this hearing, Gail was with me continually between listening to the other cases and negotiating my case with the assistant D.A. All of the other defendants who were represented by other attorneys felt lost and left on their own. Gail kept telling me what was going on and what would happen next. Everyone else was listening in to try to make sense out of their own situation, wishing their layer was there to explain. By the end, Gail had negotiated to the lowest charge and removed the fleeing charge completely. When the judge took the case, she made a final request to remove loss of drivers license and succeeded. In the end, I paid my fines, took a dui course, had a psych evaluation, remained on probation for 6 months, and thanked my lucky stars that I made it through. The only thing that remained was the record of the arrest. I believe it was 30 days later that the expungement process was begun. There were some issues that required Gail to intervene in what was supposed to be an automatic process, but she handled everything perfectly. In the end there was no record of any incident. I have even had background checks (I have even seen them w my own eyes) and they were clean. I can't tank Gail enough for her hard work, expertise, and availability at such a vulnerable time in my life. I learned a lot but never would have made w/o Gail. Go with Gail.

I found Gail's information online and had a meeting with her a few days after. She explained all my options and the ard program . She told me everything I needed to know. She was able to get my license suspension down from 60 to 30 days which was a big factor in me being able to keep my job! All in ...all I was very happy to have her guidance through this process.

Gail Marr is an amazing attorney I hired her for my fiance the day before his hearing. She came out met me and went to see him that day. She arranged her schedule to co.e to both hearings. Got the second one pushed up closer because he was I'm jail for a detainer and got his charges dismissed so he w...ouldn't get violated in parole. Very patient and informal attorney. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
