Criminal DUI Offense, Very Glad I Hired Him

I was exceedingly worried about retaining a lawyer for my DUI case as I heard it was fruitless by many people who have been in my shoes previously. After reading a lot of reviews, and making many phone calls to other attorneys it was evident after completing the consultation that Mr. Welch was goin...g to be my "gamble". He was exceedingly knowledgeable, realistic, reasonable, also kind and understanding. The outcome was as favorable as one could get in my position, which would not have happened if I had not retained Mr. Welch. I am confident that Mr. Welch not only knows the law inside and out, but will see you as a person and not just another number going through our judicial system.

Phenomenal job

Adam was incredible throughout my entire OWI case. From being the only attorney I contacted that instilled a sense of confidence in me, to always being available to answer my questions and calm my nervousness, to keeping me informed through every step of the case I couldn’t have asked for a better at...torney. He clearly is an extremely smart person shown not only by knowing the ins and outs of the law, but also getting my OWI case thrown out completely. I hope I don’t have to, but if the need arises that I need him again he will be my first and only call I make.

Outstanding

Mr. Welch was a very helpful lawyer for me and was responsive to all questions I had. In addition, he was able to reduce my OWI-1st & refusal to a reckless, prior to trial.

Excellent Attorney

Adam worked on my OWI case and got the charges reduced to a reckless driving. He was in constant contact with me and let me know what was going on in my case frequently.
