Thank you Zach

Zach Smith represented me in my DUI case and I l feel it was a very smart decision hiring him as my attorney. He was professional, treated me wih the upmost respect and used his expertise along with his humor to facilitate me through a long and arduous process of shame and uncertainty. I always felt... like I was in good hands with Zach and I trusted him. He did a great job representing me and and I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in an unfortunante situation. He is a professional who knows the ins and outs of the DUI process and in my opinion, is the best lawyer to use in Tulsa. My outcome came out favorable and I couldn't have been more pleased, albeit a lot of time consumed, money spent and lessons learned. Zach was a friend in my corner as well as my lawyer. I am glad that's it all over now and I can move forward. Thank you, Zach.

The Best

There is a reason he goes by The Tulsa DUI Guy. He knows his stuff. He is straight forward and tells you what you can expect based on your charges. I felt a lot better with him on my side while in the courtroom. He was able to get exceptional results with what I was going through.

Best DUI Lawyer in Tulsa and Surrounding areas

Attorney Zach Smith is the most knowledgeable DUI/DWI attorney period. I had to acquire his services and he came very highly recommended and he helped me tremendously. If you unfortunately need a DUI attorney, use Zach Smith for his years of experience, his knowledge on what you need to do, and wha...t he can do to help with your licence and in court. Not only is Zach a great attorney, he is also a very well respected man in the Tulsa community.

Clarence Darrow of the DUI

Zach had the knowledge and confidence that really helped me get through the stress and uncertainty of my DUI. His professionalism and legal prowess are apparent during your first consultation, but in the courtroom he is like something off a Law and Order episode...quoting obscure legal statutes from ...memory like a Baptist preacher spouting bible verses. Truly a sight to behold. At the end of the day the he really busts his ass to win for you, and it's obvious. His communication is prompt and reliable, and his fees are reasonable. If you are up against a DUI in Tulsa this is the guy you want in your corner. Accept no substitute.

Zach Attack

I was charged with DUI in 2014 and made the decision to hire Zach because he had been recommended to me by a friend . It was good advice and and a great decision. He was always committed towards my needs. I have high expectations and Zach exceeded them. When this happened, I was scared I was goi...ng to lose my livelihood because I thought for sure I would lose my CDL. Well, Zach made sure that didn't happen and saved me a lot of money with minimal fines. I didn't even have to get an Inter-Lock device. Like I said, great decision. Now, let me make a recommendation to you-Hire Zach.
