Excellent Lawyer for DUI

Todd was able to get my DUI suspension rescinded which as I understand is an unusual situation. He does high volume, has a great deal of experience, and he knows how the judges/prosecutors in southern IL/Saint Louis area operate and what your best move is in terms of accepting offers and pushing the ...envelope if necessary. He's very responsive, has a staff who's always in-the-loop, and his rates are very reasonable. Todd - you are the man!

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.
