Posted by Nick c | February 12, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Traffic offenses

I’ve hired Dennis on multiple occasions from two driving 20 over the speed limits and my second dui. Dennis was able to get both speeding tickets lowered to no points and walked out with minimal fines. My dui being my second one I was able to obtain the best outcome in my situation his whole team def...initely know what there doing and is very reasonable. Knowing my situation Dennis has always worked with me and was always there and came threw definitely will always use him and recommend him.

Excellent!

Dennis is an excellent lawyer, very down to earth. He's honest about what we can help you with and is real with you about possible outcomes with your situation. I had my first ovi case and with this being my first time really getting into trouble were I needed a lawyer he really made the process so e...asy and a whole lot less stressful. He got the charged reduced to reckless op and help me get my license back without to many expensive fines. You feel like like he does everything he can to help you out. I definitely will recommend Dennis to anyone. Great man!

Great experience!

I recently had an excellent experience using Dennis Sawan's services. I was in need of legal assistance to handle a situation with a former friend, and he was able to secure the court order I needed within a few hours of our initial conversation. I am so appreciative of his hard work, dedication and ...excellent communication. Thanks Dennis!

I Strongly reccomend Dennis

First of all I have had quite a year, I lost my father in March and then was evicted from the property they left me. I called around and was unable to obtain council in the city in which I resided at the time. I was turned away by everyone I contacted, because quite frankly they were afraid to figh...t the uphill battle before them. However, Dennis was not intimidated and went to work for me right away. I found it extremely easy to trust Dennis and would hire him again to represent me in a heartbeat. I feel trust is such an important trait of an attorney client relationship. The fact that he isn't out to just take your money, and he actually does care about you were big selling points for me. If I wouldn't have hired him then I would have lost the property that I still have title to, now I have the ability to sell it which really wasn't the case before. I just feel he is a rising star in the business and I was fortunate enough to find him when I did. In fact I just hired him again to help me sell the property so the other company doesn't try to sell it behind my back. I have faith in Dennis Sawan and so should you.
