Excellent DUI attorney

Mr. Woods handled my DUI case very well. He met with me twice prior to the first court date, and again the day before to refresh his memory. At the trial he was excellent throughout, pointing out inconsistencies in the police officer's testimony that, in my opinion, had the judge on the verge of acqu...ittal. Mr. Woods's fees are reasonable and I recommend him without question.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
