Got me off a DWI!

I don't know if i am able to give any detail, but i will keep the detail to a fair minimum just in case. I had recieved an unfair DWI case my birthday weekend when i decided to go to Baker's Pub on Baker St. in The Woodlands with my wife at the time and my bestfriend Daniel. To keep the long story sh...ort, the cops were called on us for misconduct at a Shell Gas Station on Rayford and Sawdust by a fellow towtruck driver that just so happen to be pumping gas at the same establishment. The cops got there, I didnt even have the vehicle keys on me, nobody was driving. My vehicle was parked, but i still got charged for a DWI since the car was registered to my name and the towtruck driver "witnessed" me getting there with my SUV. Needless to say, i got arrested, my car did get towed by the original towtruck driver that consulted the police. My wife had to get picked up from someone that she would call for. I was even trying to record the whole thing with my cellular device and it got snatched away by the fellow arresting officer. I was facing maximum penalty. But I got recommended Mario H. Santos by fellow great lawyer and Mario's colleague Allan Baer. After speaking with Mario, he made me feel 100% confident and ready to take this unjustified fight. I hired him off the bat! He was even to work with me and my wife's economical needs! He re-scheduled EVERY court date needed to be re-scheduled for my preparation schedule. Whatever fit best for me. It was all about me. Screw the system, he had an attitude. A hunger he was ready to feed. He had ambition. When he called me for each consultation he would take out his case file for me, with a notebook attached and sticky notes. He was taking notes on my case! Best possible outcomes that he would have in his power as a criminal case attorney! EVERYTHING! HE WAS ALWAYS 2 STEPS AHEAD! He even went as far as providing me with his personal phone number for ANY discomfort or question i had towards the case, and i used it! And he responded!! Every time! Lifetime attorney for I, my family and friends! He is amazing! Oh, and for the outcome of my case? I spent half a day in County Jail. I was tired of fighting and I settled for time served. That should tell you enough about this tremendous lawyer. He does his homework! He is worth EVERY PENNY! Not only did i get a lifetime attorney, but I made a friend. God bless the Santos Law Firm and his family.
