Poor Service

I hired Smith and Eulo for a DUI that I did not do. They assigned Attorney Zaleski to my case and he did absolutely nothing for me. Right from the beginning he told me not to request an administrative review for my license because he said that is just a formality. I told him how I wasn’t driving and ...that my boyfriend was driving. I asked him to get the video from the parking lot that he pulled into because it would show him driving. He said that they record over them every 3 days. He didn’t even try to get any videos. He could have even requested the video from the traffic light at the entrance of the parking lot that would show that i wasn’t driving. At the beginning he even was talking about a reckless driving and probation. He never intended to try and prove my innocence. I used money that was for to bury my mom’s ashes on hiring them and it was a waste of money. He talked me into taking a plea deal to get rid of this case, he scared me into it because he just wanted the case done. Now I am on probation for a crime that I didn’t commit because he didn’t want to do anything to prove that I wasn’t driving.

Your shield, that will defend you, in a legal battle.

I hired attorney Richard Zaleski's Law Firm, to represent me on my second DUI charge. First and foremost he met with me personally, at my home, because my license was suspended, and I had no way to meet him at his office. He treated me with dignity, and respect. Mr. Zaleski gave me a set of i...nstructions to complete before my court appearance. I completed each condition he wrote out for me. At my court appearance, my case was dismissed, & I was able to get my license back, which allowed me to keep my job, my home, and most importantly provide for my children. The pleasant surprise was the price, that he charge to represent me, was one third of what other attorneys wanted to charge me. Mr. Zaleski was reasonable, and allowed me to pay him in instalments. Other attorneys wanted the complete payment up front, before they would take my case. I referred my brother recently, to Mr Zaleski's law firm, after he had a physical altercation, and was being charged unreasonably by the Volusia County Sheriff's Office. Once again Mr. Zaleski used his knowledge of the law, and obtained a favorable outcome for my brother's case. I highly recommend this attorney to anyone going through hard times, with trying to navigate the legal system. Thank you Mr. Zaleski, for keeping me out of prison, and allowing me to provide for my family.
