Dennis Michael Melowski

After searching for an attorney and making numerous phone calls to different lawyers to represent my case for 1st time DUI, I came across Dennis. I had been stopped for failure to yield, resulting in being pulled over and arrested on suspicion of OWI. After receiving my results of BAC of .196, there ...was no doubt I needed the best. My job was dependent on reputation as well as driving privileges. We talked with Dennis and immediately he had a plan for what was next and what he could do to help. We received the police officer's dashboard camera and began fighting our case that there was no traffic violation committed. We felt we had a legitimate chance of getting the case dropped based upon the evidence. Although I didn't want to lose my license, by keeping the current judge who would suspend them, Dennis felt he would have a better chance of success. His legal opinion always had the best reasoning. Through the whole process, Dennis kept me informed, but never did I have to make a statement or be present for a hearing. He handled everything. We thought the process could take years if it were to be turned over in my favor. I received an email approximately 9 months after the case began that ALL charges were dismissed. It was as if the day had never happened. Dennis was easy to work with, informative, and assured me he had everything under control. I felt "stress-free" with him in control of my case and was able to look forward to his updates knowing he was getting closer to my desired results. I would recommend him to anyone looking for the best outcome! Although I never got to meet him face to face, I would love to shake his hand and thank him for representing me when I thought I was at my worst. Wouldn't go with anyone else!

I chose that title for my review of Dennis because that was what the ultimate decision of choosing my lawyer (or whether or not to hire one at all) came down to. It took me four very long days, concentrating on nothing else, to finally call Dennis back and ask him to represent me. My insurance rates... on multiple vehicles would triple, the fines and court costs I knew about, the unknown costs that may be ahead, the prospect of the OWI on my record - it all left my head spinning. Finally, I just let it all go, and told myself that if I didn't hire the best, I may very well have to live my life wondering, "What If?" Sixteen months later, the only thing I was wondering was if I would ever get to meet the man! Everything was handled by phone, text, or email. He is calm, intelligent, and reassuring, and responds quickly to a call or text. He goes to court for you, and then tells you what happened and what will happen next. In my case, it was going to come down to a jury trial. I met with Dennis two weeks before the scheduled trial and he went over the research he had gathered for the case. He also told me that the DA may budge before the trial, and that he would settle for nothing other than a non-alcohol related offense. If there was no settlement, we were to meet again a couple days before the trial. I left his office with such confidence in him, that I never bothered to ask for a day off of work! And rightfully so - I soon got a phone call from him stating that we had gotten the non-alcohol related charges that he had sought! Hiring Dennis gives you a peace of mind that you would never dream possible in such a serious situation. I will be forever grateful and recommend him wholeheartedly! He is AMAZING!

When you are facing a DUI charge, nothing short of your reputation is at stake. If you are found guilty, you'll lose your license, have to go to alcohol counseling and pay a large fine, but those are fleeting. The damage to your reputation will be forever. So, you want the best attorney you can ...get. I promise you, that attorney is Dennis Melowski. From our first conversation, I felt comfortable working with Dennis. He walked me through the steps he would take on my behalf to eliminate all alcohol-related offenses, including the possibility that the case could go to trial. My case took a little over two years to resolve, with Dennis and his team handling every step, every detail. It was hard not to get discouraged as the process played out, but Dennis never wavered in his belief in me or our chance for a successful outcome. Ultimately, my case went to trial. And Dennis was brilliant. His research and preparation built a case that refuted the prosecution’s position. He expertly used the facts to counter each of their assertions. After less than an hour of deliberation, the jury found me Not Guilty. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of Dennis’s court room expertise. Anyone considering hiring a lawyer to defend them in a DUI case needs to make sure they hire someone who has a track record of success at trial. In my opinion, there is no one better than Dennis Melowski. He gave me back my reputation. My family and I cannot thank him enough.

I was embarrassed to need the services of a lawyer after I was arrested for an OWI. I didn't know what to do, never having had legal trouble before. I found Dennis Melowski's website and called his office. He got back to me quickly, gave me thorough and specific information and calmed me down. He and... his staff are extremely responsive and professional. During the time before my case was heard, he answered several questions I had, always getting back to me quickly with complete answers to my questions. On top of that, his representation of me brought an excellent outcome. I couldn't recommend him more highly. Thank you, Dennis.

Dennis took on my two-fold nightmare over two and a half years ago: I was facing a fourth DUI charge along with a possible fifth in a different county. He fought for me for almost three years, never giving up, always moving forward with a sound plan to ensure I got the very fairest deal possible. Wit...h his help I wound up with a minimum jail sentence on the fourth (in the toughest county in the state for heavy handed prison sentences) and a reduced charge on the possible fifth. with the odds stacked incredibly against me. He saved my license and obtained for me an unbelievable outcome compared to the tragedy that might have transpired if I had a different, less experienced and skilled attorney. And, one more thing. Another trait that makes Dennis stand out in his field of hard boiled criminal defense attorneys is his sensitivity and compassion toward his clients. I cannot count the times Dennis tactfully stayed upbeat and downright comforting to me over this terrible stretch of stress I have lived through since I first retained him. No matter how serious and hopeless you case looks, I guarantee you that Dennis is your very best choice when making what might be the most important decision of your life. Call him!
