DUI Defense

Larry was honest & straight forward from the very beginning. He kept everything in perspective along the way and allowed me to carry on with my life (family & work) during this emotional & stressful time period. I was looking at my 3rd DUI conviction with life altering, career ending outcomes. I f...elt from the very beginning that I had one of the best DUI attorneys. This all proved true, as Larry won my case. I would highly recommend Larry to anyone seeking DUI defense.

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.

Excellent attorney. Not Guilty in DUI trial.

I hired Mr. Dohman to defend me on a DUI charge from Hannover Park PD that occurred in January '14. I found out about Mr. Dohman through a police officer relative of mine who recommended Larry because of his experience at the Rolling Meadows courthouse. Throughout the entire ordeal, Larry acted pr...ofessionally and honestly. He kept me informed throughout the process and always responded within a day. We went to trial and won, despite me having an empty six pack of beer sitting shotgun and foolishly telling the officer "I'll win this because you don't have enough evidence". Going into the trial I was naturally a little worried, however during the trial Larry showed his expertise. After he cross-examined the arresting officer I knew I had won the case thanks to him. I didn't lose my drivers license either, which was a huge surprise to me. He was extremely knowledgeable of the Rolling Meadows courthouse and all other legal matters I asked him about. Not Guilty No jail time, court cost, alcohol counseling or revocation of drivers license I would highly recommend Mr. Dohman to anyone looking for a good attorney at the Rolling Meadows Courthouse. I have absolutely no complaints.

Best Lawyer for a DUI, Hands Down!!

I was arrested for my 4th DUI (oldest one was 10 years ago) and Larry Did a wonderful job of getting a not guilty verdict! I have a CDL and that changes the rules that the state is allowed to badger you for a DUI. I thought it was going to cost me my license, and jail time, and TONS of money, and my ...job. I didn't loose anything, and Larry reassured me that nothing bad was going to happen, and that I would not have a felony on my record (which if I had a felony I could not work for the government jobs that I do on a very frequent basis). I would recommend Larry for anyone who has a case in Rolling Meadows...the respect that Larry commands in that courthouse is pretty impressive. Larry did an excellent job, and if I had him for my previous cases, I wouldn't have lost any and had to follow the state "supervision" rules!
