Nancy Ohan-TOP NOTCH

I was facing a DWI charge when I was parked with my hood and trunk up and my car had broke down on 06/02/14. I hired Nancy to represent me. I will say she is a very, smart and intelligent attorney. She represented me well and fought a good fight. I will highly recommend her to anyone. I was vindicate...d of all charges on 09/11/15. Now that is TOP NOTCH!!! Thank You Very Much!!!

Excellent Professional Attorney

I consider Nancy Elizabeth Ohan as God sent to me. She understood how emotionally torn up I was about my DWI case and I felt that she was genuinely concerned for my emotional and mental wellbeing, as well as for my legal predicament. She was honest about what I was facing and communicated effec...tively throughout my case. She made me feel that I wasn’t just another case, or a number, but a human being who had made a mistake. Ms. Ohan is a straightforward and experienced attorney. She brought my case to swift resolution (as swift as the legal system moves that is), helping me to get this experience behind me and move on with my life. Her professional fee for legal services rendered is the best of five attorneys that I consulted with before I informed Ms. Ohan that I would like to retain her. I respect, appreciate, I am very grateful and I just can’t say enough good things about Ms. Ohan. I would highly, highly, recommend Nancy Ohan, as a knowledgeable, experienced attorney to a family member, friend, or anyone seeking legal help. If you want great legal representation, you need to hire Nancy Ohan to represent you.

I could not have had a better experience.... in spite of bad circumstances

I was pulled over for suspicion of DUI in the Fall of 2010. Essentially, I had left a nightclub in the area, and was in a fast food parking lot chatting with my friend in my car, and turned off my lights, (with the engine running), while we talked. I pulled out to leave and forgot to turn my lights ...back on. A DPD officer was blocking my side of the street so I approached the officer to ask if I could drive around his car; at which point he made the comment that I was "extremely intoxicated" and told me to pull over and park. I complied with a sobriety test and passed with no issue. Then he did the Nystagmus Gaze (light in the eyes) test; and he said that I failed that portion. I requested a breath test and he refused. He placed me in handcuffs, had my car towed, and took me to jail. I spent majority of Thanksgiving Day in Dallas jail before being able to be bailed out. When I contacted Ms. Ohan, I knew that my story, (I wasn't intoxicated), seemed far-fetched, however she gave me the benefit of the doubt. Once she saw the video of me in holding that she requested from the jail; walking around to specific markers in stilettos, (with no issue/hesitation), speaking to the officer and answering questions as per normal, she suggested that we go to trial; and I agreed. *Note-- the officer conducted the sobriety test out of the view of his squad car; so there was no video of me on the scene. My case continued to be postponed and dragged out for two years; no fault of Ms. Ohan whatsoever. She continued to keep me updated on everything that was going on and always took the time to answer any questions that I had. Right before we were to go to court, the prosecutor advised Ms. Ohan that they would be requesting a postponement. The day at court, the prosecutor requested said postponement and the judge refused. Ms. Ohan received a call from the court to show up within an hour and she immediately left her office to represent me. I was coincidentally at home from work that day, and received a call from Ms. Ohan saying that my case had been dismissed. I cried tears of joy. After 2 years, legal fees, a suspended license, loss of my company car, and a measurable amount of humiliation; I FINALLY was vindicated to my family and friends. I am so incredibly appreciative of her faith in me and her hard work to clear my name, and I would absolutely recommend her to ANYONE in a similar situation.

Miracle Worker

I was referred to Nancy through my Brother in Law who had already had one DWI dismissed using her and is possibly on his way to have a second dismissed as well. He was referred to her by a mutual friend who was convicted of a first DWI and received the lightest probation conditions that I have ever h...eard of (6mos probation). I was charged with DWI third but I had had 2 others in another state so having the book thrown at me was a real possibility. Nancy worked quickly and efficiently and somehow got me 6 mos treatment and 5 years probation. Could have been 25 to life. I am grateful that she was stern and somewhat no nonsense and helped guide me into making the right decision. She also handled my occupational license and although our personalities conflicted at times I cannot deny that she is the MOST fair priced attorney and can seriously get things done! Thanks Nancy.

DWI Not Guilty !!!

I hired Nancy about a week after getting arrest for DWI. She was an affordable attorney that knew more about DWI cases then I thought. She understood the situation i was in, being a tow operator for the last 12 years. She was very upfront with letting me know what was going on through out my whole ...case for 2 years. After receiving so many offers from the prosecutors, Nancy finally got them to drop the breath test from the case, which was the only evidence the had. We then took case to trial and receive a NOT GUILTY verdict. Thanks Nancy again.
