Thank you for representing me on my DUI case. I’m very grateful for your hard work and professionalism

I first used a prepaid legal service to find a DUI Attorney and I couldn’t even get him to answer simple questions about my case until I gave him $4,000 cash up-front. Disappointed, I did my research online to find the best DUI Attorney available. Mr. Sloan’s websites and credentials as a specialis...t in DUI cases were very impressive and his fees were reasonable. Mr. Sloan thoroughly explained the process, my DUI charges, all my options and was up-front and honest in addressing all my concerns. He was diligent in keeping me informed of the status of my case; I called him several times - and he answered his own phone. Mr. Sloan walks the walk and owns up to everything his website says he is – and more. His in-depth knowledge of DUI Law resulted in my DUI case being dismissed in full. I’ve been there – and very thankful Mr. Sloan was there with me. I highly recommend Attorney Brian Sloan to anyone wanting the absolute best DUI representation for your money invested.

Greatest Attorney

I had been issued a public defender for my third dui within 7 years. The PD recommended Brian to defend my case. Brian was very professional, personable, and importantly, available when I needed to talk to him. I was looking at very gruesome sentence and fines etc. Brian managed to get me the best po...ssible plea I could see imaginable. When it came time to sentencing Brian was able to get me less time in jail and my fines to a bare minimum. (the best case scenario of my plea) I would highly recommend Brian Sloan to anyone with a Dui. He is even keeping in touch to make sure my undesignated felony will be designated a misdemeanor after I complete my probation. If I have any questions he is still always glad to answer and help out.

Waste of Money

Arizona DUI penalties are the same for everyone on the first offense. Brian should have been upfront at our initial consultation and told me that there was nothing he could do for me. Instead, he gave me the impression that he could negotiate a better deal than I would get on my own or with a public ...defender. He took my money, and I ended up with the same results that I would have had without his "help." He did not stand by me at my sentencing. Instead, he sent a very young and inexperienced associate who really just phoned it in. I didn't even get out of jail early, which he highlighted as an advantage of his service. Hiring Brian just ended up being another costly mistake.

Unfortunately, I think an unscrupulous lawyer wrote this against me, as I have recently been exposing certain other lawyers as snakes, incompetent, and scam artists. The author didn’t leave a name, so I can’t respond with specifics. If, however, this was a real client, I can respond with general statements. This person is incorrect, and it is not the same penalties for everyone on the first offense. Penalties can change severely depending on the facts of the case, the courtroom, the prosecutor handling the case, and the experience of the Defense Lawyer. Simply look at the previous Testimonial for a great example. I am very up front in my initial consultation. I provide potential clients with the actual sentencing range, let them know my thoughts on possible outcomes, and I really do everything I can to be honest and a straight-shooter. I always tell people about the option to represent themselves, and the option to go with a Public Defender. When hiring a Private Defense Lawyer, there is no guarantee of success. It is stated in every Private Lawyer’s contract. People hire me because of my experience, and to see things that other Public Defenders, clients, and attorneys might miss. Again, see the previous Testimonial. Hiring me doesn’t guarantee a specific outcome. It is not uncommon for me to have to have an associate represent my client at Sentencing after a plea agreement is entered into. I have already done all the work, and everything is already set in stone by the time Sentencing comes around. I am only one person, and can’t be at every court at the same time. Sometimes I need help, which is true of all Private DUI and Criminal Defense Lawyers. However, the associates I send in are not inexperienced. I have worked with my associates for years, and I trust my associates to properly and fully represent my clients, and follow my instructions. It is true that I will often tell potential clients that I have a trick to get out of jail early, however, it is a trick, not a guarantee. It tends to work 99% of the time, but every now and again, it doesn’t work. I make it clear in my Case Review that this is a trick, that will hopefully work, and tends to work, but there is no guarantee, as it is up to the jail to decide what to do with a person. The other day I had a client tell me the trick didn’t work. This morning I had a client tell me that my trick worked so well that they were able to serve a 2 day sentence in 12 hours. If this was truly a former client, I am sorry that you think this was a costly mistake. I am hired for my knowledge and experience, and solely focusing on DUI Defense Representation. I am hired for all the time and work I put into my client’s cases, not just for the end result, because the end result cannot be guaranteed. I am hired so that my clients have direct access to me by phone; and for my 5 to 10 page Case Review that I send my client, so they can take their time to review everything, and make a fully informed decision on how they want to proceed. I am hired to take care of the Motor Vehicle Division issues, and take care of the court appearances so that my client can keep working, and not waste their time sitting around in a court. I am sorry that this person felt the need to harm my reputation. What I offer my clients is excellent representation at an affordable price, but hiring a Private Lawyer is not a guarantee of anything, and it definitely does not mean that the case will be dismissed. My results, and other Testimonials, speak for themselves.
