Bar none, the best DUI/OWI attorney you can hire! Don't look anywhere else, Dennis is your man!

I know this is long, but if you have any doubts at all regarding who you should hire to defend you in what could be one of your most important and stressful situations, read on. If you read all the way through your decision will be clear...Dennis is absolutely, positively, without a doubt, your man!... My meager words can't sum up how thoroughly satisfied I am with my decision to hire Dennis as my attorney. This man was an absolute professional from my initial phone conversation with him, all the way through the ensuing 18 month case, and on to final completion by way of a jury trial where I was completely vindicated and found NOT GUILTY on all charges related to my case! Dennis was always easy for me to contact, in person, which is absolutely critical for me. If he wasn't immediately available, he always contacted me as soon as he was free. He answered any question I had; from insurance advice to dealing with the DOT. He made this troubling experience much easier to deal with as I knew with no uncertainty that I had hired the best man for the job and he was 100% on top of the situation and dedicated to getting the best outcome for me. On top of his total professionalism, he is a very affable man to deal with on a personal level. I was unfortunate enough to be stopped in a county that absolutely does not plea OWI charges due to the transgressions of a former District Attorney in relation to OWI cases, so we knew from the start that this was very likely going to be a trial situation. When the day finally came, I was amazed at how Dennis immediately went from the aforementioned pleasant fellow when dealing with me and turned into an absolute bulldog that took command of the situation and was completely dedicated to winning my case in court. His preparation, demeanor, and trial strategy were impeccable. Looking back, his performance in the courtroom was an absolute thing of beauty. In a case with dash cam video that the prosecutor was heavily depending on, Dennis turned the tables and used what the prosecutor thought was his best weapon against him. After watching the video in court, during his cross-examination of the arresting officer, Dennis caught the officer red handed in various half-truths and embellishments in both his initial arrest report and his testimony that day. He also caught the officer in several major breeches of protocol pertaining to the way he administered the roadside sobriety tests he had me perform. The best thing was that the dash cam video completely proved all of this in my favor! Believe me; Dennis knows the strict rules that are supposed to be followed when giving these tests (as well as breathalyzer tests) even better than the officers who give them. While Dennis was giving his closing arguments, I stole a glance at the prosecutor who was by this time busy staring at the ceiling and running his fingers through his hair with a look on his face that could only have meant he was thinking something akin to "how did this get away from me and go so completely wrong." PRICELESS! If this is a situation you want resolved with the best possible outcome for you, don’t hesitate to hire Dennis. He will fight for you through every step of the process. There may be lower cost attorneys out there, but very often you get what you pay for. If you go that route, you’ll always be wondering “Could I have done better with Dennis?” The answer could very likely be “Yes.” Dennis, thank you again for everything!

Absolutely outstanding

In the unfortunate event you need a DUI defense attorney, look no further than Dennis Melowski. With Mr. Melowski you'll have the best Dui defense attorney on your side, bar none. Dennis always kept me informed as to what was going on with my case and I always felt that I was being well taken care o...f. It doesn't take long to realize Dennis's expertise and his courtroom presence is unmatched. I was so impressed watching Dennis defend me in the courtroom and he by far was the smartest person in that room. I can't express enough how grateful I am to have had Mr. Melowski as my attorney. What a wonderful feeling it is when the jury returns and the verdict you hear read is Not Guilty. Thank you again Dennis.

Great Job

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.

Dennis saved my job!

Dennis did a great job before, during, and after the trial. With his vast knowledge of the law he was able to save my CDL, which I needed to keep for my Hwy. Dept. job. I looked at 4 other lawyers before I choose Dennis. He is a trial lawyer pit bull! He has helped me after the trial with follow up q...uestions that I had. Always responding quickly. I will recommened Dennis to all my freinds and family.

Client Review

He won my drunk driving case in a jury trial. He manhandled the cops and knew their jobs better than they did. The judges staff and even the judge himself said what an awesome job he did. He saved my career.
