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!

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.

A very complex DUI related traffic stop left me in a difficult situation. When I was referred to Dennis by another well-known attorney, I knew my case was in the right hands. He took the time to make sure I understood all of my options and kept me up to date on even the tiny details. His attention to... the specific facts that may normally have gotten overlooked led to a VERY successful outcome in my case. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
