Fantastic Experience

I went to Jason Hicks after being arrested and charged for my second DUI. Right from the beginning he was incredibly accessible, friendly, and professional. He went above and beyond with explaining the case, and all possible outcomes, and what he was going to do. The fact that he used to prosecute DU...I's is obvious, and he knew everything we could do for my case to get the best outcome. Ultimately he was able to get me a plea deal that dropped my second DUI arrest to a reckless, 1 year probation, eligible for early termination at 6 months, state minimum fine, no drug/alcohol testing. This was far, far better than I was anticipating originally, and I am grateful for his experience and help. He was also more than happy to help me with any questions I had after the case was closed, and has always encouraged me to reach out to him with any questions or concerns I have. I highly recommend him to anybody with a DUI arrest.

Thank You Jason!!

I was arrested for a second DUI. I was on both drugs and alcohol at the time. Jason had my PTR... (weekly random drug testing & probation officer visits) stopped by the judge. I thought THAT was a miracle. He then plea bargained my case down to reckless driving with no points. During all th...is time Jason returned all my phone calls, let me know all avenues available, showed complete knowledge of the system, and always treated me with respect. I feel very grateful to him. I doubt if anyone else could have what he did.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
