Posted by Mike | September 30, 2021 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Excellent lawyer! professional, knowledgeable, and gets results!

Jack Zaremba helped me in the process of getting a restricted driving permit after a DUI conviction. I had heard horror stories about complicated paperwork and invasive or misleading questions at the hearing leading to denied permits. Mr. Zaremba led me through the process in a professional and under...standing manner. Jack made sure all of my paperwork was in order and prepared me for the questions that would be asked at the hearing. My permit was approved on the first try. The fee charged by this firm is very reasonable and well worth it to not have to wait for another hearing and to have peace of mind that a true professional is handling your case. I would highly recommend Jack Zaremba to anyone that is dealing with DUI or drivers license reinstatement issues.

He did everything he said he would best price around.

It had been 20 plus years since I’ve had a license. Jack got me a work permit and I didn’t even have it a year before Jack got me fully reinstated. Very nice man easy to talk to always responds to any questions, and if I run across anyone who needs this kind of help I’m sending them to Jack for sure....

Best Lawyer

Unbelievable Lawyer!!! Jack never sugar coated anything, told me what to expect and always made the final decisions mine. I had a case that went to trial. Jack made me glad he was on my side. His strategy was flawless in preparation and execution. Honestly Jack made a terrible situation bearable. I’m... forever thankful

Exceptional Service

Jack is a great attorney. He laid out honest expectations for my case within 30 minutes of our first meeting. He is professional and straightforward. Great with communication, from the hearing layout to after hearing instructions. I would strongly recommend Jack to anyone dealing with a DUI and/or th...e secretary of state.

2nd DUI license Reinstatement

IF YOU WANT YOUR LICENSE REINSTATED PLEASE HIRE JACK!! HE IS AMAZING!! IF YOU DO EVERYTHING THAT JACK TELLS YOU TO DO, I AM 100% CONFIDENT THAT HE CAN GET YOUR YOUR LICENSE FULLY REINSTATED OR GET YOU BACK ON THE ROAD DRIVING WITH A RDP!!!! I haven’t driven in almost 10 years because of some poo...r decisions I made years ago while deciding to drink and drive! After having 2 DUIS and getting caught driving on a revoked license, I honestly felt stuck and thought I would never drive again! I met with jack around the time COVID broke out and everyone was on lockdown, he was straight to the point and told me EXACTLY what I needed to do in order to get my license reinstated, he let me know right away that I would most likely get approved for a RDP (Restricted driving permit) for 1 year with a Baiid installed in my vehicle , before I would be fully reinstated, I was completely okay with that as long as I was able to drive again !! Jack went over all the tricky questions that they would ask me at the formal hearing and when the time came for my hearing I was fully confident with everything!!! When we walked into the hearing, the hearing officer and the Secretary of State new Jack very well !!! I am not going to lie the hearing officer was very intimidating and made me a little nervous and I got stuck on 1 or 2 questions and Jack was right beside me and asked the questions in a DIFFERENT way so that I understood EXACTLY how to answer ! When the formal hearing was over I new I would get approved for the RDP because everything went so smoothly !! I had my formal hearing almost exactly 7 weeks ago today, This morning I got an email from Jack with the approval of my RDP ! I am so incredibly happy and Thankful I chose Jack Zaremba to help me to get back on the road and I recommend him to anyone trying to get their license back!! Thank you again Jack !!
