GREAT DWI defense attorney! He knows how to win DWI cases

Chip Venie is the best dwi attorney in New Mexico IMHO. He came up with a new and innovative approach that other attorneys were not using (I went to court and watched other Dwi attorneys for a week before deciding on Chip). Chip used all of his wits to defeat the State. I had a lot riding on this,... as I had been pulled over on my way to work for a new job. Chip saved me and saved my job and saved my license
