Failed DUI Representation

Hired Vanover law firm to represent me in a DUI case and was assured a lot different results than what was delivered. I was told he was confident at beating this case or it being dropped to a lesser charge. I was still charged with the DUI and given the same sanctions other first time DUI offenders w...ere charged with who were being represented by court appointed attorneys for a lot cheaper. I simply refused testing officers tried to administer because I have the right to do so and that they felt was sufficient enough evidence to convict me of DUI without any proof to back up their allegations. These were assumptions based off my refusal and the officers opinion. I assumed this would be a pretty easy case for most attorneys to get dropped and believe where I went wrong was hiring the wrong firm. I now have DUI on my record and spent over 13,000.

Very aggressive DUI law firm!

I hired the Vanover Law Firm for my second DUI. I was really worried about jail. Keith and his staff are fantastic with keeping me up to date. I never had to go to court! That was awesome! They handled everything for me! Never came close to any jail! I'm very happy with the results.

I Recommend This Lawyer

Things work out sometimes. I was expecting the worst case scenario, but with Keith's help things were mitigated. Even though it felt like an injustice, at least I Keith prepared me for the possibilities. It was good knowing that someone was on your side - the whole thing was insane. If Keith hadn't ...have been there letting me how thing worked and what to expect. Thanks for your help. I recommend that you use Keith Vanover if you ever need a good DWI attorney.

A true professional

Vanover handled my case very professionally. The quote he gave me of what the cost would be to take care of my case never changed. Everything was done professionally, and I have the most respect for his help in my case. I would highly recommend Keith Vanover, and I use him again without hesitation. I...f someone is looking the best Lawyer in Crestview area then Keith is it.

PCB Vacation Sucked Because of DUI

I will probably never vacation in florida again, thanks to to the PCB police. I was treated unfairly. Thank god for Kieth! At least someone in Florida knew what they were doing. He took what seemed like a completely complex ordeal and broke the process down for me. In the end, I didnt have to do too ...much. I really thought that FL was going to screw me, but my lawer saved the day. If I go to FL again ti vacation, Keith is going to be on my speed dial.
