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.

Dismissed!
Chip was able to get the case dismissed and always explained things in terms I could understand. Who could ask for more?

Excellent Attorney
