DUI

Craig & Dave represented me in a DUI case in 2012. They did an amazing job gathering facts and making this difficult time as easy as possible for me. I would use them again if I ever needed an attorney. Thank you!!

Honest and Thorough!

Almost 10 years ago now, I got my second (and last) DUI. By the time I got my paperwork, my daughter's mom was pregnant and I had only one goal in mind: be there for the birth of my daughter. Craig and his associate Dave helped me accomplish that, as well as keep my fines as low as possible and reduc...e jail time significantly. Today I am living happily sober, nearly a whole new person, and they're still here helping to guide me through a restoration of civil rights process as well. Couldn't be happier with the service they've provided over the years. Honest, forthright, and effective.

MISLEADING AND DECEPTIVE

My experience with Craig was miserable. Initially hired him for a pre charge legal representation. He was clueless what was going on. He didn't know I was arrested till I called him. I spoke to many attorneys about how he handled this. They all confirmed he failed and did not deserve what he c...harged. Once arrested, he was paid to retain him. He does not disclose ahead of time what he is actually charging for. So any phone call or email he will charge for. Ive tried to get my money back, he refuses. In the end 6300 for nothing but lies and incompetence. Completely clueless every step of the way.

Hire Craig - Restore your certainty

Found detective card on your door! Choose Craig Gillespie to defend you. I contacted Craig Gillespie because his website showcased his many awards and experience in a wide range of criminal law including my problem. Unlike all other attorneys, I found no negative ratings posted from Craig’s clie...nts. There were many positive ratings about his fair price & truly caring about defending his clients. I was particularly moved by a testimonial stating that another attorney said their case would cost many thousands of dollars, but Craig handled it quickly for free; discovering and sharing that the prosecutor dismissed their case. I submitted a request for a free consultation on Craig’s website. In just 30 minutes Brenda called me back and scheduled it to my convenience. Craig didn't make me feel bad about my mistake. He is extremely talented and generous with his time. Craig gave more than just a free consultation. He called the detective leaving a message while I was there, insulating me from risky contact. Craig eased my worries letting me know the possible and likely outcomes; and even in the worst case scenario, his defense can improve on the situation. There was a reasonable chance that the matter could be resolved over the phone too. If it can be resolved quickly on the call back, Craig said he wouldn't even charge me. In my most desperate moment, Craig gave his time and expertise. The testimonials are true. Craig made multiple calls to the investigating detective, called me back two days later, and provided legal advice. So far no criminal charges have been filed or legal fees incurred. Don't talk to an investigator who is skilled at getting you to confess and very likely to overcharge you. All those years you have been saving, now is the time to invest in your life. You must get an attorney that you can trust, and can restore the certainty that you need. Thank you so very much Craig for giving me peace of mind and my wonderful life back.

A Father's Review of Son's representation

My 18 year old ran across a problem after being stopped while driving under the influence of Marijuana and in possession of minute quantity- the State of Arizona has little tolerance in writing, but the experience of Craig Gillespie and his partner Dave Roscoe proved to be very helpful in mitigating ...the ramifications of the "crimes". They knew thru practical experience how to approach the few members of the Judicial system who may have the ability to positively influence the outcome. There were not many avenues to go down but Craig and Dave took what they could get and were able to counsel our family in the best course of action for us. They knew which programs would provide the best results and have the least on going impact. It is a long process, our situation will be in the 30 month range for overall completion. The Gillespie Firm maintained good communications, much of the time there was nothing to communicate due to the Courts slow process, but they were available and provided good counsel. When the time came for action they jumped in and allowed for questions, comments, and pursued our decided upon course of action, which had been arrived at mutually. They did not 'sugar coat' anything regarding the case nor did they frighten us or allow us to get too optimistic. The process is not simple, not nice, not clean, but Craig and Dave made it the best that they could. They have practice specialties, ours was DUI- Marijuana- we were very pleased with their professional advise, attitude, and process. They charged a competitive price, we would highly recommend them to similarly affected individuals.
