DUI and DWI 70%

A DUI/DWI arrest can change your life overnight. Punishment can be severe with long-term consequences. If you have been arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you hope that your case is dismissed or that you get the lowest possible punishment. I encourage you to seek counsel from a highly skilled attorney. As a DUI defense attorney since 1980, I will provide an aggressive criminal defense to help turn your hopes into reality.

Teacher

I would like to write a review about Michael Dunn who represented me in December 2014 and someone I am still in contact with because of my situation. When I first met Michael Dunn he greeted me with a smile and came across as being very friendly and professional. Michael is a very kind, caring, pol...ite, courteous, efficient, compassionate, wonderful, phenomenal man. He is extremely knowledgeable about the law and he is very articulate, well- spoken as well as being brilliant and a genius. Michael Dunn is the most wonderful person in the world. He is honest, sincere and he truly cares about his clients. Michael went beyond the call of duty to assist me and I most appreciative for his services. Michael changed my life for the better in so many ways. He has not only helped me be able to continue in my profession but he has made me the person I am today by teaching me abput life experiences in how to be a successful person just as he is as a criminal defense attorney with the exception that our professions are different. Also I would like to mention that if I ever had a question or concern, Michael took the time to answer my questions regardless of his busy schedule. Michael also explained what the outcome of my case would be and as it was the outcome was favorable just as I anticipated. I completely have faith and trust Michael Dunn. I have the highest respect for Michael Dunn both as a human being and as a criminal defense attorney because Michael wants to help people succeed in life. As Michael Dunn explained on his website, an expungement of any criminal charge is extremely beneficial because it allows people to not have to worry about potential employment especially when answering the following question on a job application: Have you ever been arrested before?" An expungement of any criminal record allows you to answer with "No". Also an expungement of a criminal record allows people to rent an apartment and not have a problem with credit as well. Regarding Michael Dunn as a human being, this incredible, fantastic, terrific amazing man saved my life on so many different levels. His vast knowledge about the legal system regarding "expungement" would be beneficial for my future. Michael has made a tremendous impact on my life. He also has an excellent reputation as an attorney and is very well known in Montgomery County as well as other counties. The world is a wonderful place because of this wondetful man. Michael has made life easier for me because of his guidance, support and encouragement. Michael Dunn is a true blessing to anyone who he encounters. Michael Dunn is not only my attorney but I consider him my friend. This man will go out of his way to help people. I would highly recommend Michael Dunn who is in search of an attorney. Michael has high ethical and moral obligations and he is someone who will do everything he can in his power to help an individual be successful. I could not imagine asking anyone else to ever represent me except Michael Dunn. I feel honored and privileged to have met this man. Michael Dunn has given me the opportunity to have a second chance. If it weren't for this man's help I do not know where I would be today. If you are looking for an attorney to represent you look no further. Please contact Michael Dunn. It will be the best decision you will have ever made in your life. I would like to end this review by saying I hope Michael Dunn never retires. As far as I am concerned there is only one attorney in the entire world. That attorney is Michael Dunn. Thank you Michael Dunn for contributing to society by providing me with continued success and happiness. You are truly a miracle.

Reliable, Responsive, Practical Attorney who obtains exceptional results

Obtained the services of Mike Dunn for the purpose of assisting my family in navigating a legal matter as well as negotiating with a landlord over a lease issue. All issues were resolved and those resolutions absolutely exceeded our expectations. He is an exceptional attorney and a wonderful person... on top of that.

Always available to discuss

Mr. Dunn did a fantastic job in defending my (regrettable, irresponsible) DUI case. He explained the processes thoroughly and provided me all the time I needed to ask questions even prior to me hiring him. He was always available to answer my questions, and of course, if he was in court or otherwi...se immediately unavailable, he would call me back personally to discuss whatever concerns I had. His handling of the paperwork and representing me in court made my life easier during a difficult time. The staff in his office was equally as courteous, as well. They helped me on a few occasions where I just wanted some confirmation of some sort, and they handled it deftly.

Great DUI Lawyer

Mr. Dunn did everything he could have for my DUI case. Very professional and always honest. I got the best possible outcome considering my circumstances. I would definitely recommend his services.

Posted by Don | November 11, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Drug Crime

Perceptive, cordial and effective

Michael Dunn represented a member of our family in several drug related cases. They were not major cases, but they could have been troublesome. What was most noteworthy were his ethics, thoughtfulness, empathy, and, importantly, his ability to translate these assets into results. An excellent prof...essional and decent guy.
