John H. Painter

I hired John Painter for a DUI case whereas I was arrested after an accident but was not the person driving the vehicle. After I was arrested and taken downtown to be booked, he showed up to go over with the officers what had happened to justify my arrest. Throughout the next 16 months we went to co...urt, awaiting a trial, while the D.A. tried to come up with witnesses of the accident. As the last court date came he made it clear we were not waiting another month to resolve this matter. Finally we got to trial. During the trial Mr. Painter was at the top of his game, objecting to things that didn't apply to the charges, questioning the prosecuting witnesses in the proper way as to prove that they didn't actually see the accident until after it had happened and everyone was out of the vehicles, and, most importantly, that they had no cause to arrest me. I had injuries from the crash inflected on my right side which is consistent of the crash since we had collided mainly on the passenger side of our vehicle. Besides all of that he was persistent in the fact that regardless of who the accident had happened or, who was driving, there was no cause for me to be arrested under the suspicion of driving while impaired. I must say it is a relief to get out of trouble. But a better relief to get out of being wrongly accused of a crime that you didn't commit. Although I did have to go through getting arrested and booked downtown, and had to take at least one day a month off for 16 months, of which was not at the fault of Mr. Painter but the D.A., in the end it was well worth anything to have an attorney on my side with the knowledge and skill to prove that there was no reason to arrest nor charge me with this act. In fact after the charges were dismissed, the court, gave me another charge of failure to reduce speed which Mr. Painter appealed for the fact that they couldn't prove I was driving in the first place. I would absolutely hire this attorney again, if needed.... but lets hope that doesn't happen again.

John Painter held true to his word and spent far more time than I expected considering the amount of money he charged me. Two years as a matter of fact on my DWI case! And yes it was dismissed, Amen! Most attorneys would've charged twice what he did. I would highly recommend him to anyone with a DWI... case.

I hired John Painter after the first consultation, upon finding him forthright and to the point. I paid a one time fee, and although the courts stretched the process into almost 20 months, he did not ask for more money. The case turned out just as he predicted, and I was very satisfied with the resul...ts. Also, he did all the work and I did not have to remind him or keep up with it in any way, unlike a lot of other lawyers. I would defnitely use his services again!

If you are ever in any kind of moving violation (DUI) or criminal case and need good representation John Painter is the man for the job. He made me feel secure within his practice the day I went in for a consultation. I will continue to retain Mr. Painter whenever I need to seek legal advice. Mr. Pai...nter gets results, well worth every penny!!!

I hired Painter to rep. me in a speeding infaction case and he sent me a letter that he said he got me off the hook with no charges at all after I had prepaid his office but when I mailed off for my MVR it showed that I was charged with speeding so I call his office to ask why and he has the sec. to ...hang up on me.
