Thanks Tom

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Tom Whitkop on a DUI case, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. From our first meeting, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me navigate a difficult situation. He explained everything clearly, kept me informed thro...ughout the process, and worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible result. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, my case was handled efficiently and with a great outcome. I highly recommend Mr. Whitkop to anyone in need of legal representation, especially for DUI-related matters.

Excellent Defense Lawyer on Short Notice

Mr. Witkop was an excellent lawyer who defended me on such short notice. I had become involved in a legal matter on a Saturday morning and by Tuesday, case was dismissed in my favor. Mr. Witkop took time out of his Saturday to answer my call and allow me to explain my situation. Not only was he u...nderstanding and already doing what he could to get on my case, but also spent hours the following day to ensure we were ready for the hearing days after (mind you this was a Sunday). He was always available via phone for any concerns and even had alternate methods prepared for the hearing to ensure I was satisfied with the end result. Thanks to Mr. Witkop’s help, I could go in to the hearing with a peace of mind knowing I had a lawyer who was well prepared and eager to defend me. He arrived to the hearing before the scheduled time and was prepared with facts, evidence, and questions to ask that allowed the case to be ruled in my favor. Mr. Witkop has also followed up with me afterwards to make sure I was clear of any further steps I had to take. I will definitely contact him for any legal matters I may face in the future and also highly recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer who takes their job seriously and will do it to the best of their ability.

Well Prepared

Mr. Thomas made sure he kept in touch and made sure we were always on the same page. He made sure I knew everything I need to know beforehand and made sure I was well prepared with all my documents in order to handle my case. If I ever need a lawyer again, I know who to call for that peace of mind.

Highly Recommended

In my opinion, Tom is what you would call a Power Attorney. He is truly there to make a positive difference in the outcome of your case. He is worth the money spent if you need great representation in a court room. He is responsive to your questions and concerns before, during, and after court procee...dings. Very professional!!!

A Good and affordable lawyer

I was lucky to have Mr. Witkop as my DUI attorney. He was very knowledgeable as he walked me through the whole process, and helped me get a favorable verdict in the end. Additionally, he made himself freely available well after my case ended to help me with legal questions/advice . He’s an honest... attorney who gives his clients sound advice as well as the necessary 1 on 1 attention.
