10/10 Recommend

Chris worked with me when I was going through it with my DUI case. He was extremely honest, and very knowledgeable. He let me know what the worst case & best case scenario would be, stayed in contact about court dates & helped relieve the stress of it all comes with going through all this. Thankfully..., my case was dismissed. As Chris stayed on top of it! He even helped me afford his services by allowing a payment plan.
