Go With the Best!

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!

Trial Experience and Expertise that is Second to None

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.

Excellent representation with a great outcome

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.

Outstanding! I couldn't ask for a better lawyer!

I was referred to Dennis by a friend after I was charged with my second OWI in November of 2012. Dennis was very straight forward with me from the beginning. I was pulled over because my license plates were expired by 6 days and from there it escalated to a field sobriety test to a breathalyzer whe...re I blew a .10. Dennis explained in great detail what the case would entail and he kept me informed throughout the 18 months that it played out. In the end it came down to a jury trial and after 15 minutes of deliberation the jury found me not guilty! I was nervous through the whole ordeal, but Dennis did an outstanding job, he fought for my case, and I will be forever indebted to him, and I will talk his praises for years to come! Thank you again Dennis!

Hire the best, get the best results!

If your looking for an Attorney to handle your upcoming DUI/DWI case, look no further. Dennis M. Melowski is your man. I was referred to Dennis by a good friend of mine and it was the best decision I ever made. In December of 2013 I got my first DUI/DWI with a refusal charge as well. I briefly ex...plained my situation to Dennis and he made me feel at ease. He didnt push me into a decision, he explained his process and the next step would be up to me whether I want to hire him or not. Later that day I called back and hired him. This was the day that changed my life. From that day Dennis actively pursued my case all the way up to March 2014 where he got not only the DUI/DWI charged dropped but also the refusal charge. It's like that day in December 2013 never happened. Dennis kept me updated all the way thru the process and kepted me at ease. I knew i was being well represented. If you want the best possible outcome for your situation, please look no further, hire Dennis M. Melowski. My family and I owe him our lives. Scott
