DUI 2nd offense brought down to reckless driving

I went to Chip for help on my DUI 2nd offense case. On our first consultation, I felt very comfortable and I knew right away that he can handle my case. He was very helpful and easy to communicate with. I won the DMV case so I didn't lose my license. A few months later he was able to bring down my c...harge to reckless driving so I got to keep my license! Thank you Chip! I highly recommend going to Chip for any DUI cases !!

Outstanding and a Great Person / Lawyer. I HIRED THE BEST!!

Look no further, I did and experienced all the research you need!!Having DUI's in multiple states within 7 years, I expected the worse. Jail time, years of suspended license, ignition locks, all of it. The result would be the possible loss of a professional license and definitely a job to say the l...east. Well Chip was able to get my charge reduced to a misdemeanor, no interlocking device, community service, or jail time. Of course if I get another DUI in 7 years it's right to felony row! I called and went into the office distraught, Connie was my initial contact and was unbelievably soothing, and helped me off the ledge I was dangling on. I met Chip, and felt like he cared. I appreciated his calm demeanor, and his honesty of the severity of what I was up against. I left the office uncertain of what to do, but then called and hired him. My gut feelings were right, and things worked out considering all I had on my record. Chip, I want to personally Thank You for all that you helped me with and Connie, yes should I drink again, that UBER app is on my phone. Don't waste your time, just hire Chip Siegel!

Great service!

I can say without a doubt he is the best attorney. Chip handled my DUI case with the utmost care. In court the way he handled everything was something out of the movies! Chip answered my questions and even called me back within 5 min while on vacation of me calling the office. YOU MATTER! Unlike ...others where you are a name on paper. He will tell you what is realistic, doesn't get your hopes up, but does his absolute best to make sure every little detail is investigated. By doing this he found multiple holes in my arrest and instead of taking a DUI plea deal, opted to go to trial for hours. He exploited all the weaknesses in the case against me and I had my first DUI reduced to a traffic violation and a fine! I know 3 others who have utilized his services all with similar results. If you are in a bind, call Chip. Best money ever spent!

Wouldn't Recommend Anyone Else

Jay "Chip" was a phenomenal lawyer from start to end. The two most important things I want in a lawyer are reassurance and realism. You want your lawyer to express confidence that he/she can be of help to you. At the same time you want to them to be real with you so there are no surprises at the end.... Chip laid out exactly what he thought he could achieve for me on day one and delivered every bit of that and more in the end. And that was even with a late curveball thrown by the prosecutor in the final week before our trial date. It was very noticeable how both the prosecutor and judge had a high level of familiarity and respect for Chip and it no doubt increased my chances of a favorable outcome. That alone made him worth every penny but his knowledge and guidance were extremely valuable throughout the process as well.

Felony Drug Possession charge for my Daughter

A+ + for Mr. Siegel. Right from the start of your case he gets right down to business both inside and out of the Courtroom. He provided us with plenty of information and resources so we could be proactive during our case to ensure the best possible outcome. Which is exactly what we got. Communicat...ion between Attorney and client was on point. I can't say enough good things about his professionalism and knowledge of the judicial system. If myself or any family member was ever in need of an attorney again Mr. Siegel will be my first phone call.
