achieved best outcome in 3rd dui case

David Camic was fantastic! In illinois, a third dui is a felony. Somehow, he got it reduced to a misdemeanor!! I had to serve 45 days in the pokey but it was worth it to keep a felony off my record. I have no idea how he did it, but he did it. I sincerely thank you, Mr. Camic. My life is norma...l again!

Very educated, experienced courteous lawyer who produces terrific results.

In 2012, I had the misfortune of being involved in a minor car accident that was my fault. I was charged with a failure to reduce speed ticket, a prescription drug DUI and a DUI cannabis. After my arrest, I was very worried, confused, disappointed and all around upset for weeks following the arrest. ...A family member recommended Mr Camic. After my free consultation with David, I left his office feeling much better than I had felt since the arrest. Mr Camic constantly kept me informed about the status of my case throughout the process through letters in the mail. In the end, he was able to get the failure to reduce speed ticket dismissed, the prescription drug DUI dismissed, the cannabis DUI reduced to a Wreckless Driving charge and he got my drivers license suspension rescinded. He even wrote me that this was a better outcome then he originally expected. I would highly recommend Mr. Camic to anyone and I recently referred him to a friend of mine who ended up hiring Mr. Camic to represent him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
