DUI attorney
“I would highly recommend Edward Hastings to anyone looking for an attorney. My experience with him was like no other. Very compassionate and thorough. He guided me through each and every step of my case very patiently, answering all the questions I had personally. I had a DUI case and with my corporation, was able to get my case dismissed. By far the best possible experience and treatment I could have received. He is without a doubt the best Attorney I have ever dealt with!

Want to start by saying he is absolutely the best attorney I have hired. I hired him when I had a domestic assault issue with my spouse and he took care of me. He had all my charges expunged. I of course recommend him as I know he will get you taken care of.

Excellent experience
I used Mr. Hastings for my case. He went above and beyond to make sure my case was handled in a timely manner and also made sure I got the best deal possible. He always stayed in contact with me. I’ve never had someone represent me the way he did. I would definitely use him again in the future if I needed to.

Amazing!!!!
Ed took such great care of me! He was incredibly prompt, thorough and kind. I needed some simple paperwork filed and another lawyer had given me the runaround to rack up billable hours. Ed jumped on it and got it resolved in less than 24 hours. Ed epitomizes what a reliable, client focused and ethical attorney looks like. Thank you so much for your help!!!

Edward really went above and beyond. He took the time out to talk me through what was going to happen, and always kept in contact. He is a really good listener and gives out great pointers. Edward is a fantastic lawyer. I appreciate everything that he has done for my case. Because of him I beat my case and he is getting it expunged. Thank you many many times again because it has been a long ride, but you made it super easy for me!

Fine young Attorney.
Mr. Hastings was very kind and compassionate. I believe he has a brilliant future. He's very knowledgeable and works for your best interests. As a cancer patient and being 64 years old, having never been in any kind of trouble I feel like the court was a little heavy handed with my case. Being on a fixed income it's hard enough to make it on my meager income let alone the fines and costs they levied against me. But I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend Mr. Hastings to anyone. Sincerely, William R. Miller Jr.

Highly recommend!!!
He was appointed to me by the judge, but Ed is very nice and always quick to respond to any questions I may have. He always made sure to check in and remind me of an upcoming court date and anything i may need to bring to court. He even went out of his way to assist with expunging my case, which he didn’t have to do. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Hastings was appointed to my brother and I by the court. He was very compassionate, empathetic, and efficient in his handling of our case. He realistically informed me about the possibilities of how our case may result and what to expect. Shortly after speaking with him, he had our case dismissed and record expunged. Life changing, all before lunch. I highly recommend Mr. Ed Hastings and feel inspired to hire him in the event I ever need representation in the future.

Charges dismissed and expunged thanks to Mr. Hastings
Edward is a great, straight shooting attorney. From our first meeting, I knew he was an experienced attorney who knew the ins and outs of the system. He was able to accurately predict the varying outcomes my case depending upon the circumstances that unfolded. With this knowledge upfront, my case did Indeed end the way he said it would and the way we wanted it to thanks to his advice. I've had several attorneys in my lifetime so I can say he's a great attorney, whose willing to go the extra mile to make his sure his clients are satisfied and get all the help they need through till the very end. You would do well to obtain counsel from his firm as the very outcome of your future will depend upon it.
