DUI & Weapon Felony Case

I couldn’t have been more pleased with the way Mr. Spivak handled my case. This was a tough situation involving a DUI charge along with a felony weapon charge. Through his experience, his extensive knowledge of court procedures, and his vigorous advocacy of my character and my rights, he was able t...o negotiate an aggressive plea bargain and have both charges dropped to simple misdemeanors; he also pursued my interests during sentencing and approached the judge, influencing him to minimize my fines and sanctions to an incredibly low level. Throughout the whole process, he saved me a lot of time and money and provided me with legal and moral support and made me feel confident in an out of the courtroom. He also followed-up with me to ensure I am buttoned-up on the post-sentencing process. I am also confident that if this case had to go to trial, he would have defended me fiercely and I would definitely retain him should I need any counsel in the future. If you are looking for serious representation and an attorney who will fight for you efficiently while keeping you informed of all expectations, you owe it to yourself to contact him at once.

Thank you for the kind commentary. Your case was definitely serious considering the felony gun charge in association with the DUI. Most importantly, you did not serve any jail time and walked away with minimal fines, which was the goal you intended. It was a pleasure to represent you in your matter!

Honest, hardworking lawyer.

Alan Spivak was a great lawyer and person to have on my side after I was cited for Paraphernalia. I am applying for professional school so it was something I couldn't have on my record. Alan was extremely honest and helpful throughout the stressful process. He was able to put my anxiety to rest by... promptly answering all my questions with great professionalism. My case was eventually dismissed and Alan handled my expungement papers the day of the dismissal. I would recommend Alan to anyone needing a caring, trustworthy, professional lawyer. Thanks for everything!

Great experience!

Mr. Spivak handled my OVI case and I was more than pleased with his services. I was facing a significant amount of jail time and he made sure I did not spend a single day in there. He was very professional and hardworking. Any time I ever wanted an update with my case or had any questions it was neve...r a struggle to reach him. I was always treated with respect and I felt as if he really and honestly cared about my case and fighting to get the best result possible. I would definitely hire him again and would recommend him to anyone.

"I endorse this lawyer. Alan Spivak is an extremely dedicated and diligent attorney. I could write paragraphs about his abilities, but the best complement a lawyer can get from another lawyer is a case referral - and I regularly give Alan's name to my clients who have a need for a personal injury or immigration attorney. This guy is top notch."
