About Jay
Biography
I handle only criminal cases. Probably 80% of those cases are DUI related. My office consists of me and my assistant. So, when you hire my firm, you know that I will personally handle your case. I strive to make certain that all clients are treated professionally and accorded the respect that each one wants and deserves. A criminal allegation is serious and stressful. I understand that besides having legal knowledge and ability, a client must receive proper time, care, and attention.

Chip did a thorough and exhaustive job on my case!
First, Chip and his office handled all court appearances and paperwork that I were not mandatory for me, including DMV hearings. Second, he kept me informed and told me what could and could not happen. He made me feel like I was in good hands. It turned out it was not only a feeling but reality. He w...
