Posted by Mike | March 03, 2015 | DUI & DWI

Excellent OVI Attorney

In late 2014 and early 2015, Mr. Herzner represented my OVI case and defended my rights in a professional manner exceeding my highest expectations. While my case would most likely be “just another OVI defense” in the eyes of many other attorneys, Mr. Herzner made me feel as if I was his only clie...nt by keeping me informed, immediately responding to any questions I asked and allowing as much time as needed to insure I completely understood his response. In addition, whenever I placed a call to Mr. Herzner, HE answers the call himself. I believe this to be a rare quality not shared by many other attorneys, doctors, etc. In closing and most importantly, Mr. Herzner is exceptionally knowledgeable in the area of OVI defense, produces positive results in an expeditious manner and his fee structure is more than fair. I would not only recommend Mr. Herzner in the future but I would not trust anyone else to defend my rights except Mr. Herzner. Thank you Mr. Herzner for all your hard work and dedication while defending my case. M.S.

  • 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.
