John

Larry is the best DUI lawyer, the most honest and straight forward. Here is my story: back in 1992 I had two DUI and nothing else until last June, when I got another ticket for DUI in Rolling Meadow , so I hired very well known Chicago lawyer. He lost my first hearing and I lost my DL for one year.... Then he wanted $35000!!! more to save me from DUI.I fired him and then on avvo.com I found and hired Mr. Larry Dohman and just after one visit in court room with Him I was free to go and without any charges against me. You can trust Him!

100% Satisfactory - This is THE BEST DUI LAWYER

There are lawyers out there that will take your retainer fee and your will not hear from them OR they will send one of their LESS EXPERIENCED ASSOCIATES to represent you. NOT LARRY DOHMAN! Mr. Dohman is the "professional ethical attorney to the 10th power. He is with you all the way and explains ...everything to you. My case was a FELONY, (talking jail time, career ending, homeless) which Mr. Dohman successful reduced to a misdemeanor, got me my license back immediately when no prior/previous attorneys/counsel did so for me. DONT WASTE your money on other lawyers who make promises. Larry Dohman tells you straight out what he can do and what to expect!

Excellent DUI Attorney

Mr. Dohman represented me in my DUI case back in August 2014. Not only was I found not guilty of all charges (including a traffic offense which I was clearly guilty of) but he also got my summary suspension overturned. Mr. Dohman knows and has an excellent rapport with all of the judges and staff in ...the Rolling Meadows (Cook County) courthouse and is well respected amongst his peers. I would recommend him to anyone facing DUI or traffic charges in the Rolling Meadows courthouse.

Larry Dohman is a Classy Professional DUI Defense Attorney!

Larry Dohman is a top notch attorney in the Cook County court system. He is highly educated in the DUI laws and takes the time to learn about any changes in the law system. Larry is highly respected by the judges and district attorney office staff. I was charged with a DUI in the past year. It wa...s my second offense in the past thirty years. My initial attorney was not showing much patience or interest in my case, so I looked around. I called Donald Ramsell and Associates, after reading great reviews on their firm. Their staff referred me to Larry. Upon our first meeting, I knew Larry was right for me. I decided to hire Larry as my attorney, and I have not regretted the move. Larry genuinely listens to his clients and takes all points under consideration. When he explains a point or procedure, he is patient and goes over the topic again until his client understands the situation. He is honest, but covers all points, even when the topic may be difficult to discuss. He truly cares about his clients. Larry charges a reasonable fee for his representation. His fees are no more than any other attorney I interviewed. I believe he could charge a higher fee than the rest of the DUI lawyers, and he would still be a great deal! His experience in the system and his keen observation skills provide an extra advantage for winning cases. He knows all the judges and DA staff and knows their tendencies and strategies. But there is nothing deviant in his approach. He is a fair player within the legal system, and the respect he receives from the judges and DA staff prove that. Larry worked with the system to get my DUI reduced to a reckless driving charge, with minimal additional components included. The outcome could have been much worse, since I made some mistakes that were incriminating and irrefutable at the time of the arrest. I am grateful that I looked around and discovered the fine representation that Larry provides. I would and will recommend Larry to anyone facing a DUI charge. He is your best bet in getting a favorable outcome.

Lawrence Dohman: The Best of the Best

The night I was pulled over and arrested for a DUI, I knew that I needed the best of the best when it came to hiring an attorney. This was my second offense. Although I was confident that I was innocent, I refused to take the breathalyzer test which is an automatic suspension of your driver’s licen...se. I was looking at five years with no driving privileges. Because I am not from the Chicago area, I had no idea who to hire. I called an attorney’s office that referred me to Lawrence Dohman. The attorney’s office told me that Mr. Dohman was the best of the best. The attorney’s office that I originally called was correct. Mr. Dohman is the best of the best. With only the evidence of a video tape, Mr. Dohman was able to have my summary suspension revoked, which I hear is almost unheard of. Basically, if you refuse to blow, you will lose your license. When the DUI trial began, Mr. Dohman used his extreme knowledge and skills, and because of his knowledge and skills, my entire DUI case was dismissed. A police officer of who works out of the same courthouse as Mr. Dohman described Mr. Dohman’s skills as nothing less than brilliant. Mr. Dohman will fight hard and do what it takes to win his cases. Mr. Dohman is also very polite and easy to work with. I never felt that I had to hide anything. Mr. Dohman is very easy to talk to and very comfortable to be around. His communication skills are superb; I always knew what was happening with the case as he went over every single detail with me with a fine tooth comb. I highly recommend Mr. Dohman when considering who to hire for a DUI case. As I stated, Mr. Dohman has the knowledge and skills that it takes to win a DUI case. Thanks to Mr. Dohman, I am now happily driving with a clean record.

"Larry is a top-notch criminal defense attorney. I’ve known Larry for over a decade. When I was a Cook County prosecutor Larry was my opponent in countless matters, from traffic tickets to serious felony cases. I can say from first-hand experience, Larry is one of the best. His trial skills, negotiation acumen, and courtroom presence make him a formidable opponent. He is a vigorous and effective advocate for his clients’ interests. Larry has another important quality – that should not be underrated in an advocate; Larry is extremely well-liked. He is respected by judges, prosecutors, police, and nearly everyone he comes in contact with in the legal community. I highly recommend Larry."
