Reduced dwi
Case was willing to go to trial on my case. This resulted in me receiving an obstruction of a highway. I’m very happy with him.

Highly recommended! A good man and dedicated attorney.
He was terrific in getting my motion to revoke dismissed and my motion to adjudicate denied. When he was hired he even visited me in jail on a Sunday morning. His rates are more than fair and you cannot deny his results. Thank You, Case. I appreciate you as does my family.

He did a great job getting my case reduced from a dwi to obstruction of a highway. He fought hard for me.
