Posted by Ken | December 25, 2017 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Extremely Prepared & Seasoned Attorney

Mr. Reynolds knows DWI law, period. If it’s your first time hiring an attorney, Paul Reynolds is someone you can trust. He’s honest about your chances of winning, what you’re up against, and is very clear about his plan of action. DWI cases are hard to win and not many get thrown out. Paul took t...he evidence and used it perfectly to win our case. A big win too! Refusal to submit to a BOC test - Not Guilty, DWI - Not Guilty, Suspended drivers license - Not Guilty, No proof of insurance - Not Guilty. Enough said. Thanks again Paul!

Highly Recommend!

After my son was arrested on DWI charges, I found Paul's name online and gave him a call one early Sunday morning. He responded quickly by phone and answered all of our immediate questions. I was quite impressed from the onset and we hired Paul as our attorney. Throughout the next few weeks and month...s, Paul was thorough, responsive, and provided us sound advice. Ultimately, the case was dismissed and there is no doubt in our minds that the end result is directly tied to Paul's knowledge of the law and his skill as an attorney!

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 23

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Paul is an excellent criminal defense lawyer, especially in DWIs. He is one of the few in the state that has completed the field sobriety test training and is the best in officer cross-examination. I sent one of my judges to Paul in regards to his college student son's DWI and the result was outstanding. Since then I send my volume SS/WC clients in NWA to Paul for criminal as well as small business litigation and he has always made me look good to my clients. The comments have consistently been that Paul always calls them back, takes time with them during office consults, and is not afraid to try a case. Since the type cases I handle can go on for years, several times I have been prepping existing clients for court and they would make a point to sincerely thank me for having gotten them to Paul Reynolds who had won their case or resolved their business problem in the interim. Bottom line -- Paul makes me look good to my clients when I refer them."
