Excellent DUI attorney

I contacted Cary a day before I needed to be in court for a DUI related case. I had called several attorneys but Cary was the most responsive and easiest to talk to. We discussed the case and he helped me feel much less stressed over the whole process since he clearly knew what he was doing. I felt c...onfident Cary was a good choice since he had so much experience in DUI cases and was familiar with the Rolling Meadows courthouse and everyone who worked there - I needed an attorney that knew how the judges and prosecutors would be thinking, and that's exactly what I got. Thanks to Cary I knew my case was in good hands, and we got it dismissed. Throughout the whole process he was communicative and answered all my questions promptly. If you need legal help, especially if it's related to a DUI, Cary will make sure you are taken care of.

Do yourself a favor, GET THIS LAWYER!

Cary is hands down one of the best DUI Attorneys in Cook County. The moment I consulted with him about a DUI charge in Cook County was the first time I felt somewhat at ease since the date of arrest. Mr. Dohman took me through the details surrounding my case including realistic expectations on the ou...tcome of my case, which kept me grounded. I immediately decided to hire Mr. Dohman. It was one of the smartest decisions I could have made. Every step of the way, Cary gave me good advice on what to do to give me the best chance of getting a preferable outcome for my case. He answered any and all of my questions and calmed my anxieties throughout the entire court process. We eventually succeeded in reducing the original charge, and my life will forever be easier thanks to the professionalism and expertise of Cary Dohman. I could not thank this lawyer enough!

The best traffic lawyer in the world

Mr. Dohman is an extremely knowledgeable attorney, who represented me in amazing fashion. His process and his strategic game planning based around my case was flawless and I had a very difficult case and facing major penalties . Mr. Dohman is very professional and extremely dependable and I will sugg...est him to everyone who needs proper representation.

Expert

Carey is an exceptional lawyer. He explained the whole court process to me with patience and great detail. I cannot thank him enough for calming my nerves. His expertise and knowledge, won my case. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone facing a DUI charge.

Excellent results from an Excellent and Experienced lawyer!

I was charged with a Felony possession of controlled substance and misdemeanor DUI, needless to say I was very distraught since I was facing 1-3 years in prison, but Cary was able to me a special kind of probation for the felony (when completed the charge will not go on my record) and also got me cou...rt supervision for the DUI (which also will not go on my record!) He was always there to answer any questions I had and was very attentive to my case from beginning to end. I highly recommend Cary Dohman for any kind of charge you might get, as he is very experienced, honest, and knows the law inside and out. If you find yourself in a bad place like I was, Cary works extra hard for you and can work out a very favorable deal. I cannot recommend him enough and he will be my go-to lawyer for everything from here on out, he truly is a lifesaver!
