Great Lawyer

My name is Jeff Friend and I was falsely arrested for DUI and Refusal to take a breath test. The State chose to separate the charges and take me to trial for the Refusal first believing it would be an easy win for the State. However, I retained Gutin and Wolverton and Attorney Stephen... Wolverton was my trial attorney. Attorney Wolverton aggressively crossed examined the arresting officer and gave a brilliant closing argument. The Jury came back with a NOT GUILTY verdict. What Stephen Wolverton argued was that there was no probable cause for my arrest so therefore that was no justification for the arresting officer to request a breath test. I do not know of any other Attorney/Law Firm that has been able to receive a NOT GUILTY from a jury on a Refusal charge!!!! Thank you Stephen Wolverton and Harley Gutin for representing me.

Hard Working Attorney!!

Steve Wolverton worked very hard on my case and was able to reduces my DUI charges down to reckless driving. Without his hard work and persistence, my career and livelihood would be in serious trouble!
