I have known Alex personally for over a decade and I can honestly say that he is one of the most well-liked and respected attorneys I have met. I have consulted for him on personal injury cases, and his insight, research skills, and diligence really make him stand out.
I endorse this lawyer. Alex is a delightful person and a fine lawyer in both criminal cases and civil litigation. I have watched him in trial and he is a superb and sincere communicator. He is an expert in DUI cases

I have tried a case with Alex and worked with him on others. I have consistently been impressed by his preparation, dedication, and care for his clients. I would recommend him to anyone.
I have worked on a legal matter with Alex Forrest. He is a talented attorney who conducts himself in a very professional manner. I would recommend his services to anyone searching for a lawyer. I look forward to working additional cases with Alex in the future.

I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Forrest and I assisted in the defense of a driving while intoxicated trial last year. He is very competent, knows the law, and a well-spoken advocate. Mr. Forrest carries himself with dignity that juries, judges, and prosecutors respect. I recommend giving him a call if you need legal assistance.
