Great help for a Canadian!

Chip helped me with an unfortunate DUI and never did I feel out of the loop or that I was not being looked after. His office staff as well were very empathetic and helpful and responded always in a timely fashion. My overall experience was very positive with the charge being reduced and the fine at ...a minimum, all to Chip's credit and hard work.

Very Professional and Efficient

Chip made dealing with a difficult situation (DUI) very manageable. The process was very painless with minimal interruptions to my daily life. I would highly recommend Chip if you want fast and courteous service when dealing with any given DUI situation.

THE FEEDBACKS ARE 100% ACCURATE.

I was recently charged with DUI involving possession of controlled substances (marijuana) and I thought that my career was over. This case was going to ruin my life. After reviewing some feedbacks from AVVO.com, I went ahead and hired Jay L Siegel (Chip Siegel) as my lawyer to represent me in this ...DUI case. Following his guidance, I was able to complete some DUI courses to benefit me in this court case. I didn't really expect much from the outcome, but it is definitely true what people have said about him. He is truly amazing and knowledgeable when it comes to DUI and the Nevada law. Coming from California, I am clueless with how Las Vegas ruling really works. He was able to guide me through the process, and in no time, he was able to reduced my charges and I am really really happy with the outcome. Moreover, he also went out of his way to recommend me to follow up with him even after my trial has dismissed. I truly appreciate his work and he definitely changed my life.

Jay L. Siegel - DUI Defense

I hired Mr. Siegel as my defense me in a DUI case. His office was courteous and responsive, he met with me right away, and his fee was very reasonable. From the start he was informative and made me feel very assured. He kept up on the case and called to consult me as soon as any new developments occu...rred. In the end, he was able to bring my charge down to a reckless driving. It's terrifying to be in the legal system and feel vulnerable, but Chip made the whole experience as painless as possible. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone else in the same circumstance. Thank you Mr. Siegel, you are a lifesaver.

Best DUI lawyer in town

Chip is hands down one of the best and most helpful lawyers I have come across with. His whole team was extremly nice but Connie is the sweetest! She is always so postive and also very knowledgeable. They were extremely resonable when it came to setting up a payment plan as well. He gave me the best ...results overall, I couldn't be more garteful with my end results of my DUI. He answered any questions I had, I felt very comfortable becuase unlike other attorneys that I have had to deal with he gave me answers fast and he knows what he is doing. He is very honest, which is always awesome! He reduduced my DUI case to a reckless driving offesnse and my fine was not bad at all. He also helped me obtain a temporary license, when I had orginally had it revocked. I was able to recieve it the follwing day. I would definitely recomend Chip to anyone he gives the best results and he knows what he is doing. Which makes this process a whole less stressful!
