DUI--charges dropped

I was pulled on New Years Eve of 2014 for speeding and the officer asked if I had been drinking. I decided to tell the truth because I was terrified. I told him "I only had a couple of drinks and went to my friends house to eat and sober up before I drove home." I was bartending at a restaurant on NY...E and got off at midnight.....so I didn't have much time to celebrate. My "couple drinks" story was the truth. He put me through a series of sobriety tests and told me I passed but still wanted to breathalyze me. I blew a 0.88 and he took me to jail. There were several things this police office did that weren't right just to convict me. I hired Michael and he did a great job handling everything, because truly, he felt I was innocent and was trying to do the right thing by sobering up. He was able to identify that my officer provided invalid information on certain things. He went out of his way to try and get me the best deal I could get. Had I not had Michael I would have a DUI on my record and am thankful for his help.

Outstanding Lawyer -- Very Knowledgeable

I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Huff. My son was having a moment where he was not thinking clearly and he shoplifted an item. This is a misdemeanor in VA and can be a big deal. Mr. Huff was so knowledgeable and helpful during this whole process. He communicated clearly what we needed ...to do, what could happen, he had a fair price and told us exactly what his fees are, we are located in falls church and we did all interactions (with the exception of the court day) over the phone and e-mail, he pays attention to detail, and is very responsive and professional. If I ever need a lawyer in the future, I will definitely call Mr. Huff.

Wonderful experience

I have known Mike since 2008. My family has now used him for 3 different cases. In my particular experience I had been charged with a DUI, Mike was able to use the law to my/our advantage and have the charge reduced to reckless driving. The outcome in my case is very rare but I am very glad to have h...ad Mike on my side during that difficult and stressful time.

Great Attorney I definitely would recommend

Having never been in serious trouble before Attorney Huff proved to be the best decision I ever made in hiring a lawyer. He fully informed me of the process and when my nerves got the best of me, he made sure I was comfortable before allowing anything to proceed. I would recommend him to all my famil...y and friends. If I ever needed another lawyer Mr. Huff will be my first call!
