Dennis Michael Melowski

After being stopped and ticketed for 1st offense OWI and operating w/Pac I was scared because I have a CDL and drive a semi for a living. Everything in my life was dependent on my drivers license. I called 8-10 different law offices who all told me the same thing, that the DMV will hold an admini...strative review and since my BAC was over.08 my license would be suspended for 1 yr. and that I'll loose my job. Then I called Dennis, who informed me that he could get the suspension stayed so my license would be valid and I could stay employed during the process of fighting the charges. Hiring Dennis was the best thing I did to help my case. He got the charge of 1st offense OWI reduced to inattentive driving and the charge of operating w/Pac was dismissed completely. Nothing alcohol related is on my license, my career and livelihood are secure. I would have lost everything that I had worked for and built over the last 20+ yrs. if not for Dennis Melowski and associates. Thank you

I can’t begin to explain the fear, anger, shame, confusion and hopelessness that overtook me after being stopped by the police. I found myself being charged with OWI in a non-driving situation and found they are very much treated the same (as if I had been actually driving down the road). The morni...ng after the incident I immediately started the search process for solid legal representation knowing that it would provide me with the best chances going forward. The first Law Firm I visited was a local family practice focused office, however I was told they accepted OWI defense cases all the time. After discussing the specifics of the case I came away dejected and truly scared. The basic conversation was that these cases were rarely resolved in this County and there was “ not much I could do! “ These are not the words you want to hear. After returning to my home state I continued researching attorneys and came across the website for Melowski Law. After reading some of the reviews I decided to contact them for a second opinion. Within the first few minutes of speaking with Dennis Melowski I knew I had found someone very knowledgeable and who was on my side and willing to fight along with me. The real revelation came when I contacted the previous attorney to inform him that I would be switching my case to Dennis’s office and his words to me were ‘That’s a good idea…he will do a better job than I could have”. Dennis and his staff went to work right away by petitioning for me to keep my license during the case progression. It was when I received a copy of the DMV administrative hearing transcript that I knew I had the best attorney on my side. Even though Dennis and I had only spoken briefly about the case, Dennis had gone over all the court documents and arrest reports and was already setting the stage, expertly and aggressively questioning the hearing officer and arresting officer because in his words “he was trying to ensure justice for his client“. It was a long 2-year process filled with delays and motion hearings however Dennis always kept me up to date and was always available to chat on those days when I started to panic. As the delays mounted and status conferences dragged on, Dennis was quick to remind me that whatever the outcome of these…we were nowhere close to giving up and he would continue to fight for me. In the end the resolution couldn’t have been any better, not one day spent in court, no loss of license and I avoid the stigma of having a DWI on my record, which would have essentially ended my career.

When I first called Melowski & Associates; Dennis himself called me within a half hour and spoke with me for 45 minutes and within another 1/2 hr. his partner Sarvan had called. At a time when my head was spinning, I chose to retain this firm with confidence that they cared about my 22 yrs. as an ove...r the road driver. From the d.o.t. 6 month suspension that Dennis had dropped 3 days before Thanksgivng to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct (without even going to trial) I didn't miss a beat in my employment! Furthermore; while facing inevitable back surgery during this time and other issues, Dennis continued to remind me to not give up. Dennis is the real deal! and thanks alone is not enough. OUTSTANDING!

Dennis did a wonderful job for me. His pre trial work was outstanding as he found info under the Freedom of Information Act which turned the trial in my favor. In the courtroom he was far superior to the prosecution in all ways. He definiely turned the jury to my favor. I would emphatically recomm...end Dennis to anyone needing his expertise.
