Professional Lawyer

I unfortunately was charged with five serious charges(DUI, Reckless Driving, Disorderly Conduct, Two counts of Criminal Tresspaing), and was faced with significant fines and jail time. I was referred to Mr. Sereebutura by a family friend's lawyer. The decision to hire him was by far the best. He spen...t a significant amount of time explaining how serious the situation was on my initial consultation and how he felt he could challenge the situation. Again, it was a great decision and his prices were were extremely fair. Theo kept me informed on the situation during the process and was quick to take my calls if he was available or promptly called me back. During such a distraught time period, that type of professionalism is enspiriting. The end result was an extremely positive one. My charges were dropped over an extended time period of wrangling except for a Trespassing charge. I highly recommend Mr. Sereebutra's services. Thank you!!

Happy Client

I hired attorney Sereebutra to help me with a sensitive family matter. He was very forthcoming, explaining the law to me. He stayed in touch with me during the court process. In the end we got the best result & the charges were dropped.

Fantastic lawyer and gentleman

Recently I had occasion to assist a relative in finding an attorney to represent her in court. Theo Sereebutra was recommended to me by a freind and after meeting him and his staff, we were convinced that Theo was our guy. Very friendly and professional, Theo handled her case and was very... successful in getting the desired result. Being a former prosecutor, he is fantastic in his knowledge of the legal/court system and certainly uses that knowledge for his advantage in court. If you need an attorney to represent you in a criminal case as your defense lawyer, then you need Theo Sereebruta. 5 stars *****

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
