Ethical, Professional Attorney

Unfortunately, due to my former husband's conduct, we had to rely on Mr. Salmond on several occasions to represent my husband due to his drunk driving. We found Mr. Salmond to professional and knowledgeable concerning the DWI charges and associated charges. He knows his way around the courtroom and... the MVA. Mr. Salmond does "create" defenses, but rather is honest and above board when it comes to listening to the circumstances, investigating the evidence, and then offering his best legal advice regarding the specific situation. There is no sugar coating and no over-promising. However, I also found him to be understanding of the defendant's personal circumstances with good recommendations on one trying to get their life back on track. I have known Mr. Salmond for over 25 years and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of legal advice and assistance.
