Case Dismissed

I never expected to be facing a DUI charge and felt completely overwhelmed and pretty helpless. I'm so thankful my search led me to Robert DiDomenico and Hiltzheimer Law. He walked me through every step, explained his strategy clearly, and made sure I always knew what was happening with my case. His ...communication was consistent and thoughtful, which really helped ease my anxiety. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, my case was dismissed. I’m beyond grateful and would absolutely recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.

Durham's DUI Attack Dog: The Best There Is

This guy is so good that he got my DUI and resisting arrest double-trouble case dropped despite an extremely high breathalyzer reading and the existence of a bodycam video of me legging it away from the police towards the safety of my house for a few seconds before being tackled. Robert DiDomenico is... nothing short of a legal black belt, a true professional who can turn the dark power of bureaucracy against itself and allow you to escape unfair permanent consequences, all for a reasonable price. He is a wizard who works with legal databases in place of ancient scrolls. In court I could hear him behind the wall arguing with the prosecutor, obviously fired up about getting me the best result in my case, and it's that kind of dedication that ensured I actually did beat the charges. Of course, your results may vary based on the details of your own case, and he did tell me that it would be difficult and unlikely to get this kind of ideal result. If I remember correctly, what happened is that when they pulled me over they had shaky probable cause to actually get me out of the car and/or breathalyze me or whatever, and he threatened to take my case to trial on this basis. The prosecutor wanted to avoid this because it would make her look bad to not convict immediately with a plea deal, clogging the jury trial system with a case that's much less important than, for example, a murder or something legitimately horrible like that. I am no longer an (active) alcoholic and no longer drive drunk, and I thank Robert for my currently bright career prospects as an engineer, saved from the possibility of background checks coming up dirty.

The man with the Plan

First, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Robert for his outstanding work and achieving a favorable outcome in my case. What began as a single DWI escalated into two DWIs and a severe car crash involving only myself. Throughout this challenging legal journey, Robert maintained consistent communi...cation, guiding me on what needed to be done and explaining the potential outcomes. He recognized the importance of my recovery from the car accident as part of my mitigation efforts. During the trial, Robert spoke highly of me to both the DA and the judge. He discovered a clinical error in the filings, which led to the dismissal of one of my DWIs—a tremendous relief given my significant health and professional responsibilities. In summary, if you are prepared to do the necessary work to mitigate your case, Robert will handle the rest. Robert is the attorney you want on your side!

Excellent - Never A Doubt.

Robert D was my attorney on my case. I live in Phoenix, Arizona & was charged with a DWI in Raleigh, NC for a .06 Robert explained the process in great detail & I put my trust in him being over 2,100 miles away from Wake County, NC. Robert showed up to every court hearing, debriefed me on every s...ituation along the way, & kept me in the loop on every detail that came along. I wanted to plea guilty with a .06 just to move on with my life due to the court system being so behind and my case not being heard. Robert advised me to have my day in court & stick out the process. After 13 months & not once returning to the state of North Carolina for court, Robert was able to get my case significantly reduced and the DWI off my driving record. Robert is a great attorney & even a better person. I felt comfortable with his guidance from start to finish and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I
