Life changed and beyond thankful - Case Dismissed

Words cannot begin to explain how thankful and pleased I am with Nancy and for all the hard work she put into getting my case dismissed. She truly was heaven sent! Never in million years could I have imagined that my DWI 2 case would run so smoothly and ultimately be thrown out. Nancy not only kno...ws the law, she’s passionate about it and truly cares for her client’s wellbeing. I recall my first meeting with her, she diligently listened and took note of everything I had to say without judging me. Because this was my second DWI, my first being nearly a decade ago, I felt so ashamed of the situation I had once again found myself in. Nancy genuinely expressed concern for me as a person. She went as far as asking me if I needed assistance in locating an AA or support group. She then made a pact with me, that she would do everything in her power to help me but that I also had to show her that I was willing to learn from this and make a change in my life. Upon retaining her she quickly began to gather details from the DA’s office and gave me constant updates which really went a long way in calming my nerves (I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown). When she received the video from DPD she called me in and we watched it together. Without going into detail, she almost immediately concluded that the officer had no justified reason for pulling me over. She suggested that we file a “Motion to Suppress” based on facts shown in the officer's car/body cam footage. This was in late August 2018. The months began to roll by and Nancy attended my court dates and would email or call me with updates almost immediately afterward (understandably sometimes a day later). At one point the interlock device in my vehicle failed due to battery issues and upon informing her of the potential problem it could cause with my pre-trail officer, Nancy was ready to spring into action. Fortunately, it wasn’t necessary, but once again knowing I had someone in my corner went a very long way. Finally, in January, Nancy informed me that she had met with the DA’s office and that they did not agree that the stop was unjustified. She again reassured me that she had a strong argument based on the facts seen in the video and would proceed with filing with motion. February - D-DAY Nancy was nothing less than incredible. She was confident, knowledgeable, and firm with her argument and although the arresting officer was present as a state witness, Nancy was completely unshaken (TOTAL BEAST MODE). After about 45 minutes the judge said the sweetest sounding two words I’ve ever heard “Motion sustained”. My case was pretty much dismissed. In the hallway, Nancy once again reminded me that this was a “Gift” and that she didn’t to ever see me in that situation again. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Nancy. May God Bless you always. Ps: I am now going on almost 7 months sober, thanks be to God, my family, friends, and Nancy’s push.

Heaven Sent

Nancy it was a pleasure working with you on my daughters case. You made the whole ordeal go away due to your knowledge and hard defense tactics. You’ll forever be in my daily prayers, wishing you the ability to help others.

I Highly Recommend Nancy Ohan !

After an unfortunate incident, I was arrested and charged with a crime that could have resulted in me having a criminal record, or worse, me doing time in jail. My entire life revolved around my being vindicated, and not losing my career. I was NOT looking for just any lawyer that could 'adequately...' give me a passable legal defense! I needed to do my research and find an accomplished legal mind with the sort of talent, born from the wisdom that comes only from varied experiences, learning all the 'ins-and-outs' of a less than perfect system. After having visited several, I received a mailer from Ms. Nancy Ohan, and followed up with an appointment to interview her. What I found in Ms. Ohan was the opposite of what every other one had been. She allowed me all the time I needed to convey the 'context' of the event that led to my arrest. She asked questions when I was done and I could tell that her shrewd mind was already at work building my best defense. She took good notes, whereas others merely looked at me and only half-way listened. I needed one to listen like that - really LISTEN. I found her exceedingly capable and was impressed with her compassion and integrity. In dealing with the prosecutor's office, she had a step-by-step plan to bring resolution to my case, perhaps without needing to go to trial. She fully prepared for trial, in case it came to that. A prepared defense-attorney is what prosecutors fear most, because they hate to lose. If your attorney requirements can be explained with words such as "adequate, satisfactory, or tolerable", then by all means hire the first one you find, and you better like bologna sandwiches three times a day. However, if you want a classy, bright experienced attorney who will go the full distance for your defense, and do it for a fee that is more than reasonable, please believe me when I say Nancy Ohan is one which prosecutors respect, and one who they would prefer Not going up against in court.

I did not know where to start when I was in need of a criminal lawyer. I am so glad that I found Nancy Ohan. I received information in the mail and immediately knew she was the one I needed to hire. It was very comforting to hear of the issues she had helped others with. The receptionist at her offi...ce was very nice and professional and let me know that she would do everything she could to help me. So I made an appointment to talk with Nancy Ohan. I was nervous going to the appointment but was made very comfortable when arriving. It was easy to find her office and I was given clear instructions on how to find her office. Nancy came into the waiting room and I was greeted with a friendly smiling face. She has a very pleasant demenior and I immediately felt at ease. We sat down in her office which was very nice and pleasant. My wife went with me so the both of us were asked a few questions in the beginning, because my wife was with me when the incident occurred which caused me to need a criminal lawyer. Nancy began to sit back in her chair and was very interested in all the facts in my opinion, I presented to her. She listened to my wife tell what she witnessed, and was very interested in everything we said. She is a very good listener, she doesn't at all make you feel like anything is unimportant. She let me know about all the court dates and everything related to the case in a timely manner. She handled the case without any problems. I was very happy about the way she handled things and I would recommend her to anyone who has a need for a criminal lawyer. I would not go to anyone else after having her as my attorney. She is very good at her job and I assure you , you will not be disappointed. My case was dismissed and I was very happy with the outcome. She worked diligently to get the case dismissed and everything turned out great. I was sent a letter of dismissal and was able to continue with my life as normal, without having any issues not dealt with properly. I will use her in the future if needed. Please take the time to talk with her if you need a great criminal lawyer.
