Ian saved my professional career!!!

After making a horrible mistake one evening which resulted in an OVI charge, I was recommended by a friend to contact Mr. Ian Caldwell. From the beginning, he was attentive, understanding, and extremely helpful. I explained to him that I held multiple professional licenses and that a conviction wi...th my state board could result in me losing my professional license and cost me my career. Ian was always available to me, quickly responded to my emails and phone calls, and always provided me with accurate and up-to-date information. He was ultimately able to reduce my charges and the OVI was dropped. HE IS A FANTASTIC ATTORNEY!!! I would recommend him to anyone who is facing a DUI or OVI. He is reasonably-priced and WORTH EVERY PENNY!! HE SAVED MY CAREER!!!

License reinstatement

I was recommended Mr.Caldwell by a close friend. I am so happy I hired Mr.Caldwell he was helpful, understanding, and guided me throughout the whole process. Had I known about him previously I would have hired him since the beginning of this frightening journey of trying to get my license reinstated.... He was always on top of things and making sure I understood the process and what to do. Thanks to him I was able to get my license. He also helped me a lot in a separate event regarding a traffic ticket. I highly recommend him and he is well worth it. He is a life saver.

Highly Recommended DUI Lawyer

Mr. Caldwell "saved my life". He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and caring during a time that was really frightening for me. I cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for Mr. Caldwell's assistance during this horrible time in my life. I have come out on the other side able to contin...ue my career and move on with my life because of his help and knowledge. I recommend Mr. Caldwell for anyone who is in need of a truly experienced, professional, results-oriented attorney.

Ian Caldwell

Ian was attentive, professional, and considerate. He took the time to get to know me and my family, then presented my case in a professional, informed manor. As a result of Mr. Caldwell's proficient attention to my matter, he was well received by the prosecutor as well as the judge; consequently my... case was dismissed.

DAAD License Restoration Hearing

I retained Mr. Caldwell for a driver's license restoration hearing after it had been revoked for DUI 2nd offense. Ian's knowledge and preparation in this subject matter are greatly appreciated. He puts the client at ease because he is very down to earth and honest when communicating with him about ...these sensitive subjects. He always makes sure to put you the client first and goes to great lengths to make sure you are comfortable and prepared. I'm personally very grateful and appreciative for Ian's counsel and guidance during this troubling time in my life. I wholeheartedly recommend Ian A. Caldwell and his counseling services to anyone who is seeking DUI representation!

  • 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.
