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.

Very Impressed

When i asked around Keith Vanovers name kept coming up as the best choice to handle my DUI. I was not disappointed! He only handles DUI and that expertise comes thru. He won my drivers license back and that meant a lot because i have a class A CDL. I would recommend you give Keith a call.

Winning a CDL license back is actually an extra hearing that is required at the DHSMV hearing office. We were able in your case to prove that the suspension was not legal which led to your full return of your CDL. Glad it worked out ok.

Best attorney i ever had

If you get a DUI, this is you guy! Not only was I updated about my case at all times, Keith was so helpful and made me feel like I was going to be able to put this all behind me. I didn’t know what to do, the whole ordeal was overwhelming and scary. My friend looked up DUI defense lawyers, and Keith ...Vanover was at the top with over 2,000 dui cases, we made the call and I am glad we did. The whole process was easy, from the consultation to the court date, he walked me through the whole process. My DUI charge was dropped, so I couldn’t ask for more. On top of it all, he was very affordable. Great guy!

Very impressed!

I was on vacation in Destin from Tampa. Got a dui. Was really upset bc I felt it was a setup by the cops outside AJs. I asked around and everyone told me Vanover was the best DUI attorney around and they were right. He only defends dui. That's it and it showed. Never had to come back to Destin. He g...ot me a license and I was very happy with the results. I was treated with kindness and respect.

Great DUI lawyer

I hired Mr. Vanover after visiting Destin and getting charged with a DUI. The officer was a jerk. Mr. Vanover was able to use this and the mistakes the officer made to get me a very fair outcome. I would recommend Mr. Vanover for any DUI related charges. He is really good.
