DUI, underage drinking, driving left of center
Unbelievably amazing. I was charged with a DUI, under-aged drinking, and driving left of center after wrecking my car one night. John was helpful the entire time, tried the case, and he got everything dropped except for driving left of center. I will forever be thankful to him.
