Posted by Adrian | December 04, 2015 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

The Best!

I thought my whole life was over after I got stopped for a DUI. I was super depressed because I was already charged with one but, getting DUI number 2; I just felt like a bum and on top of that I couldn't drive for a year and a half. I remember a while ago I was accused of shop lifting and I hired Do...minick and won the case. I thought maybe I'll use him again for my 2nd DUI cace. I hired him and been going to court for almost 2 years now. As of today 12/04/2015 11am we beat the DUI case and was not charged with anything! Mr. Dolci really knows how to find the loop holes and talk his way out of anything!

Wonderful lawyer!!!!

I was arrested for DUI and had no clue about the criminal justice system. I was given Dominick Dolci's name by a friend. I checked his reviews and was impressed so I made an appointment to see him personally. Upon arriving, their office looked straight out of Law & Order. I was greeted by two att...ractive young women who directed me to a comfortable leather chair and offered me a bottle of water while I waited. Shortly, Dominick and his partner, Pat, directed me back to an impressive office. They immediately calmed me down. They answered every conceivable question, including ones I hadn't even thought of yet. They gave me comfort and reassurance. I left with 100% confidence in their abilities to handle my case. At court, everything was smooth as glass. My suspension was thrown out and, in the end, they beat my case at trial. I now recommend Dolci & Weiland to all of my friends. I am very happy and very satisfied!!

Great lawyer!

I didn't know where to start when I was arrested for dui. I asked a friend who was a policeman who he would hire if he was arrested for a dui. He recommended dominick dolci. All I can say is I wasn't disappointed with the recommendation ! Dolci, and his partner Patrick , did a great job. I immedia...tely felt much calmer as soon as I met them. They seemed knowledgeable and obviously knew all the people involved in prosecuting me. During my first meeting with them they explained what obstacles I was facing and layed out exactly what strategy they would use to defend me. Amazingly, everything turned out exactly as they said it would. I was most concerned about losing my drivers license for a year. On the first court date we had a hearing. Dolci chewed up the cop who arrested me and made him look like a complete liar. It was awesome! After a few months we had a trial and dolci did his magic in the courtroom again. I loved it! I walked out being found not guilty. The judge did find me guilty of the improper lane usage ticket I received with my dui but that seemed a small price to pay all things considered. Even then, dolci argued I should get court supervision for that and the judge agreed. I was very satisfied with the representation I received and highly recommend these lawyers. Maybe a little higher priced than some other lawyers, but definitely a case of "you get what you pay for".
