Troy did a great job for me

Troy was able to have my domestic assault charge dismissed. Troy was great to with and kept me informed. Facing charges is stressful. Troy helped me throughout the process. I am very happy with the results.

DUI and DWI lawyer | Jul 30

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I attended a Standardized Field Sobriety Test practitioner course with Troy. He knows what he's doing with DUI/DWI cases. This is who you want representing you if you've been arrested for DUI/DWI. Very few attorneys have been through the SFST practitioner class, and Troy is one of them."
