DUI Charge CALL MR. SIEGEL

After getting charged with an extreme DUI I thought that I was in for a very bumpy road and thought all hope was lost. I interviewed 12 different lawyers. Once I met Chip I knew instantly he was the one. He was Intelligent, Knowledgeable and straight to the point. Throughout the case he stuck by me... and always pushed for the result I wanted. After drawing the case out Chip was able to get my case reduced to the outcome I was satisfied with. He is a miracle worker. I never thought it would be possible with the situation I was in. I could not be more thankful to Chip and his wonderful assistant Connie for being so supportive and helpful during this process. My advice to anyone that was in my situation would be to HIRE CHIP!

A Well Oiled Machine

J. L. 'Chip' Siegel was a beacon of light during a time when I was at my lowest. I was scared, mortified, and embarrassed about the reason for needing an attorney. Chip and his legal team were above reproach. He thoroughly investigated the facts of my case. He reviewed the potential outcomes and ...sought my input every step of the way. He was able to breakdown the case into key elements and articulate each element and how those pieces have an overall affect on the case. His staff was also a key component to my comfort level. Everyone was knowledgeable and ready to implement that knowledge at a moments notice. Chip provided sound legal advise while his team supported him with a caring approach: both leading to a favorable outcome. I would strongly recommend Chip Siegel.

There is No Comparison! Mr. Siegel is the Best DUI Attoney in town!

I was terribly distressed when I was charged with DUI. So I started my research on best DUI attorneys in town. I have met with many attorneys & read countless reviews on them before deciding to hire Mr. Siegel. Mr. Siegel is the last attorney I've arranged to meet. First thing I noticed was h...is extensive knowledge of Las Vegas legal system & the judges. There was no comparison to other attorneys I have met previously. It was a long & difficult battle due to my BAC of over 3x the legal limit. Chip, Mr. Siegel, was very professional, informative & personable through out the whole process. In the end, the DUI charge is being dropped to reckless driving. I was afraid that I would have to carry the DUI charge on my record for 7 years. Thank you so much Chip for being an amazing attorney. ** Connie, his assistant, is empathetic, proficient & very knowledgeable. Thank you Connie for being understanding when I was confused & distressed. You're wonderful.

Siegel above and beyond...

I had many unanswered questions about my pending case. Mr Siegel put me at ease. He went above and beyond for me. I live 8 hours away and Mr Siegel represented me during a few court appearances he did a swell job. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a knowlwgdeable lawyer.

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!
