DUI - Lifesaver

I contacted so many attorneys before deciding to go with Chip, because he was the first attorney I sat down with who spoke with me directly, and didn't refer me to another member of his team who would be handling my case. Chip personally handles every case, and from the get go was very upfront and ho...nest about my best and worst case scenarios. He doesn't sugarcoat anything, which was difficult at times, however it made me trust his expertise. I did not have to go to a single court date, and I received a summary of results the same day each time Chip appeared for me. Per Chip's advice, I was proactive and completed all classes prior to my trial. I received a phone call 4 days before I was scheduled to appear - reduced to reckless! Case closed. I did not have to go back to court. Chip was the perfect choice, and his assistant, Connie, is an absolute pleasure to work with. A DUI is not worth the last year and a half of stress, anxiety and depression I dealt with in fear that my future was completely gone, and I am so grateful to Chip and his team for a fresh start.

Outstanding Representation Unparalleled Customer Service

Would not recommend anyone else but Chip. My situation was very complicated with a potential of substantial punishment that would have changed my life to say the least. I felt at ease after the first meeting and was guided through the entire process with both Chip and Connie's help. Without going int...o great detail he was able to take 3 charges including 1 felony count and get them reduced to a minor traffic violation. I wouldn't hire anyone but Chip and Connie or use anyone not recommended by them. Thanks again!

Exactly what was promised

I contacted Jay "Chip" Siegel to help me with a D.U.I. case and a pretty larsoney case. I told him that my primary concern was staying out of jail. When it was all said and done, Chip kept me from getting any jail time and got me off with a reasonable fine. I would highly recommend him.

First-rate service

It was my 1st DUI and I expected the worst possible outcome. After calling the office of Jay Siegel and speaking with Connie, the office manager, I made an appointment and had a conversation with Chip. He was straightforward with his questions and his answers. He explained what he would do for me, bu...t didn't make any guarantees as to the outcome. He told me what I needed to do before the court date and kept me informed the whole way. Today my record is clean and I can put this mistake behind me thanks to the legal expertise of Chip Siegel.

Incredible!!!

As advertised, Chip handles cases personally. He was available to talk both on the phone and in person, and was very patient with me as I had MANY questions regarding the process, possible decisions, etc. Chip and his team were on top of everything as they kept me up-to-date on court dates and the DM...V hearing. Chip doesn't beat around the bush, and with his vast experience and knowledge, I was able to easily trust in him and his suggestions. It's also worth noting that his assistant, Connie, is VERY VERY VERY caring and was a great resource to have! I would recommend Chip and his team to everyone.
