In a bind with the law ? Loni is lawyer you need !!

there's lawyers and more lawyers but no lawyer in this state can hold a candle to Mr De Land. Outstanding is a word that doesn't hold a bit of a title to give to this man. what a great attorney. And one heck of a good man also. If you think that there is a better attorney in the state or even in the ...country I wouldn't bet your life on it. There is no better attorney. He may be a little more costly than the others but Im telling you first hand that he is worth every cent when your in a pinch. Id put my bets on him with the top attorneys in the country. Jerry Spence was good. Loni is in that class and holds it with ease. The best !! he saved my but.

Stellar Representation

Several years ago I found myself in need of a Lawyer for a DUI charge. I was going through a difficult time in my life at the time and decided after speaking to several people to hire Mr. DeLand. I made an excellent decision. Mr. DeLand was able to have the charge reduced to a DWI, no jail time a red...uced fines. I was also not required to receive months of DUI counseling saving me more time and money. Mr. DeLand facilitated everything leading up to my court date and simply told me where I needed to be and when saving me an incredible amount of stress which at that time in my life was of utmost importance. I have since recommended Mr. DeLand to several people.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
