The correct choice for DUI/DWI

When my daughter found herself accused of a DWI, by chance we found the perfect attorney for the job. Not only was his knowledge and experience with the field sobriety test useful it became the very basis of her defense. If you find yourself in this situation you can't choose a better man to aid yo...u. He is the best!

The Best Choice in DFW!

Jimmy Angelino is the best choice for DWI/DUI representation. He is knowledgeable, straight forward, and WINS CASES. I met Jimmy in 2008 while looking for legal representation after a questionable DWI arrest. I was impressed by his in-depth knowledge of both sides of intoxication cases. The y...ears he spent as a Police Officer for Dallas and the Chief Prosecutor handling intoxication offenses provided him with a depth of understanding beyond that of most criminal lawyers. Jimmy clearly explained my options and listened to my expectations for the case. He worked tirelessly for over two years, up to the day of the trial, to see that my charges were dropped. His knowledge of the law and experience on the police force allowed him to bring to light several aspects of the case other attorneys would have missed. In court, it was easy to see that he is highly respected by all members of the justice system. Jimmy went out of his way to keep me informed of the progress of the case and my legal options. I recommend James Angelino to anyone who doesn’t want to take a chance with his or her DWI/DUI charge. It is easy to be overwhelmed when it comes to choosing the right lawyer, but choosing correctly can mean the difference of moving on or going to jail. Jimmy is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a lawyer who truly cares about the wellbeing of his clients.

Yoy cannot find a finer lawyer, I reccomend him 100%

In 2009 i received a DWI 3 or more, and retained Mr. James Scott Angelino as my attorney. Mr. Angelino went far and beyond his call of duty. I was not a criminal, but i was a sick man suffering from the desiese of alcoholism. Realizing this Mr. Angelino convinced the judge that I was in need of medic...al attention, therapy and treatment instead of a lengthy prison sentence. Because of Mr. Angelino's efforts I have been clean and sober for more four years, and he litterally saved my life in addition to this he gave me a secong chance for a new and exciting life. If it were not for Mr. Angelino I would not be alive today. My family, loved ones and I are so greatful beyond beliefe for his efforts. I have nothing but the upmost respect and admiratin for his concern, proffessionalism, and special intrest he took on my behalf. I thank James Scott Angelino from the bottom of my heart for his efforts. Not only for his proffessionalism, but going that extra mile to get me the help I needed. Not only do I not suffer froml alcaholism anymore, but i have a new lease on an axciting adventerous life that I never thaught was possible.I would never even think about using a differant Attourney, because you cannot find a finer attourney. Thank you Mr. Angenilo.

Great job

Jimmy really demonstrated his knowledge of DUI/DWI law, from pre trial to closing arguments, Jimmy definitely controlled the courtroom. After my trial, even the judge said that Jimmy took a case that should have been a slam dunk for the prosecution, but instead, made them pretty much fight like hell... to win it. Although we lost, I would tell anyone who gets a DUI/DWI to call Jimmy.
