HIRE A PUBLIC DEFENDER

You will get the same results I had Adam represent me in a DUI case and didn't feel to bad in jail since I was with his clients. Save yourself the money once court is over he washes his hands with your case. Do yourself a favor save your money

So, unfortunately, I don't know whether this is an actual client, since they are remaining anonymous. The only DUI client in the past 3 years I have had, who had to serve a jail sentence, was a gentleman who was facing two one-year jail sentences consecutively for his 4th and 5th DUIs, both occurring within weeks of each other. Both were tough cases with blows, bad videos (one had a crash in a store parking lot with video) and no possible defenses. I pleaded him open to the judge, since the state made no offer and was seeking 24 months jail. With his family and AA sponsor and a long-time friend, we were able to convince the judge to give him 6 months' jail followed by 18 months of veteran's court probation to try and address his alcoholism. Sometimes, the best resolution includes jail. There was no offer to either me or the public defender and my thought was 6 months was far better than the 24 months (back to back) the state was seeking.

Poor Lawyer

Adam Chrzan is and excellant lawyer if you have committed a crime he can plea you how ever Adam has no clue as to representing you in a court of law for trial. Adam has violated client ADA Rights Title II, 28 CFR Part 35, If you refuse to sign a plea with Adam he will withdraw from your case how eve...r keeps your money, The issue is not the money it is the lack of being a professional attorney Adam refuses to look at your evidence then writes a motion files with court inaccurate untruthful lawless motion on client behalf and lets not forget if you refuse the plea he will file motions with the court without the clients signature and you will not know what was filed on your behalf and mail you a letter reference your case as RE: SLC Traffic Citation No. 1530-FDF how ever that is not the case you have been charged with something else so I would truly say if you just what a plea use him

This was a difficult case with overwhelming evidence against my client, who was your son. The evidence included videotapes and verbal statements and direct testimony from law officers involved in the two new cases. That evidence also was the basis of the probation violation. My recommendation was based on that evidence and my ability to negotiate a reasonable plea agreement in his probation-violation case and get the state to drop the two new cases entirely. I never withdrew from the case. In fact, after the client terminated my representation, I continued as stand-by counsel and tried to assist him in his probation-violation hearing. While the case was pending, I kept the client informed of all my actions and forwarded to him all documents and motions that I either drafted and filed or received from the state. Client contact and accessibility are the cornerstones of my practice, followed closely by experience and aggressive representation.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
