Victor Wallace Carmody Jr.'s Lawyer Endorsements
"Vic is very knowledgeable with years of experience as a Jackson Police Officer and now Mississippi criminal defense attorney. I feel grateful to have learned from Vic."
"Vic trained me and 17 other Maine attorneys for three days on the Intoxilyzer 8000: the practice of using one, the science behind how they work, and the science of analyzing their performance. He brought with him two members of his firm and two legendary scientists. Vic keeps an eagle-eye on the practical, trial uses for DUI science, APPLYING expert analysis. It's not enough to understand, one has to convey. And convey he does, wowing fellow specialist attorneys, all with the unmistakable style and wisdom of the Southern gentleman. Anyone charged with a DUI in Mississippi should hire the Carmody firm."
