Posted by Benjamin | October 27, 2012 | DUI & DWI

Saved my life (my job, my car, etc)!!!

I am going to begin by stating the facts first. I was facing serious DWI charges from the US Attorney's office after my arrest on GW Parkway (federal). I was clocked doing 106 in a 55, blew a .14 BAC, and rear ended a Park Police cruiser. As I was frantic and shopped around for lawyers the next wee...k each and every one of them tried to put the fear of God in me by telling me the Federal Court system is the worst and that they would have to charge an arm and leg to get things done for me. Chris was different. He immediately told me that I was better off that it happened on a federal highway. He put me at ease, but was honest at the same time. He was truly concerned from the very beginning of my welfare in being able to get through this with my head intact. he told me that while he worked with the prosecution he wanted me to get counseling so I could get through my day to day. When it came time to negotiate with the prosecution Chris was relentless. He went back and forth fighting for me to keep my job and my livelihood. Where the prosecution was seeking almost a month in jail Chris got it down to 10days served only on weekends (of my choosing) with driving privileges intact for me to go to and from work and my meetings. Even allowing for me to go on business trips if necessary. In all honesty if you are facing a DWI/DUI or reckless don't think twice and just call Chris. You will never have to second guess yourself in wondering "what could have been" he will get you the best results no questions asked.

Chris is the guy you want to represent you

Mr. Amolsch was very thorough in his examination of my case. He took a chance at resolving other issues that would've made us go to court an additional time, however, Mr. Amolsch was able to get it done in one session. I never worried when Mr. Amolsch was defending me. He went in to fight like a tige...r, you could see in his eye that it was gameday. Mr. Amolsch is professional, he knows the system and you definitely want him on your side.

Azars' review

Chris Amolsch has definitely been a lifesaver. He is versed in both the state and federal system which makes him very versatile and allowed him to dance between my several issues without the need for me to retain counsel to handle the issues in my other case. When we had to deal with the court his ...etiquette definitely helped navigate the judge and prosecution and I could see the other side genuinely had respect for him which allowed him to make real progress in my situation.

"I highly recommend Chris to anyone facing criminal charges in Virginia. He and I worked on a matter involving a client charged with 2 felony counts which could have impacted the client in other respects in a horrific way. Chris got both felony counts reduced to one minor misdemeanor with no jail time with no further impact. Talk about impressive!!
