First time DUI Complex Case

I was represented by Michael Lintenini for a very complicated first time DUI charge, he was very intelligent and punctual​, he contacted me before each and every court date and explained what could happen and if I had to be there, then gave me options on what we could do and what his opinion of the b...est choice would be. By the end I believe I got a good sentence. Under different circumstances my case could have been dropped, however there are some things you can't prevent (with the state and cops not playing fairly).. even with all the odds against me, Michael Lintenini got me the minimum charges and I would recommend him to someone looking for a lawyer they can trust!

Beat my Felony DWLS, thank you!

I was referred to Mr. Lentini by a family member who is an officer of the law in a nearby city. My case involved a number of tickets including a felony count of Driving With License Suspended and Careless Driving. The penalty for this charge was multiple fines exceeding $5,000 and up to 5 years in pr...ison. Many people in the courtroom that day received the maximum penalty for their incidents but Mr. Lentini achieved the best possible outcome for my case. The result was a complete dismissal of all tickets and my felony charge reduced to a non criminal administrative failure to produce vehicle registration. Mr. Lentini did an amazing job of protecting my freedom and I would suggest anyone in need of legal representation choose Mike Lentini for your defense.

"Michael and I co-counseled a jury trial together in Hillsborough County for a client with a battery charge. The client was wrongfully accused of battery and lost his job. Michael, more experienced than I at the time, skillfully complemented the trial better than I could have ever asked for and taught me a few things along the way. He's incredibly professional, honest, and is well liked by a jury. A great attorney who I endorse without hesitation!"
