About Warren

Biography

Knows the system, works the system, fights for your rights!

Creative thinker looking for ways to ensure you have a fighting chance!

Helped to build the system nationwide, so if there's an error by police or prosecutors, I'll find it and use it to your advantage!

An arrest is almost always on your record no matter the outcome, even after a dismissal. Expungement is just about the only way to remove the arrest from your record and minimize your online criminal history and profile!

Federal Crimes and Rules are unforgiving with almost a 95% conviction rate for prosecutors! My experience in this field has increased my client's success rate at trial by almost 50%!

Would recommend Mr Diepraam 100% to anyone!

Mr Diepraam was beyond helpful and knowledgeable when working with me during my DUI. I was incredibly overwhelmed and nervous having never been in any legal trouble before. He was able to help me through everything while being able to get me the best outcome I could have asked for. He was able to ma...ke my DUI a dismissal with community service and no headaches. He was kind, understanding and didn’t pass judgement on me for even being in the situation to begin with. It makes all the difference to have someone in your corner who cares and understands that people make mistakes. I would and have recommended Mr Diepraam for any DUI related issues they have, he’s amazing!

Doctor of Dismissals!!

I used Mr Diepram on a DWI case and it was looking bad. He found several issues with the cops investigation and worked well with the prosecutors to get it dismissed. He literally told me what they were going to say, when they were going to say it, and what they'd do. Sure enough, that's exactly w...hat happened. He's like a doctor doing surgery in court and it was awesome. He is truly an amazing lawyer and I recommend him to everybody!

Very Personable and Very Effective

This guy knows his stuff! I got charged with DWI in a county that is very tough on these cases. I had to show up a few times, but he was able to get me out of a lot of settings so it wasn't as inconvenient as it could have been. Most lawyers only talk to you and deal with prosecutors in court, but... Warren answered my texts all the time and worked with the prosecutors outside of court time. When I did see him in action, he literally frustrated the prosecutors because he knew his law so well that they couldn't answer his arguments. On my case, he worked behind the scenes and then messaged me one day that my case was dismissed! Totao awesome surprise! I can't say enough good things about him. He is the most aggressive lawyer I have seen up there and gets great results.

Want to get your case dismissed ? Hire Attorney Warren Diepraam

Mr Diepramm is a true and diligent Attorney that will fight tooth and nail to defend your case. His expertice and insight was able to point out errors by the prosecution and have my case dismissed by the Judge.

Excellence With True Compassion

I recommended Warren for a close relative who was charged with a very serious felony. Unlike other lawyers I've dealt with, he took a personal interest in the case even to the extent of doing house visits and answering messages late on weekends. Because of his history as a famous prosecutor, he was... able to handle the case on friendly terms with prosecutors and police. The best thing about his representation is that he was able to get the felony case dismissed. Dismissals are rare, but he knows the system and used it to our advantage. I couldn't be happier with his representation
