Professional and Competent Lawyer

I am so thankful that I chose Mr. Siegel as my lawyer. He provided me with the information and support I needed at a time in my life when I didn't understand the Legal consequences of my actions. I am 58 years old and have never gotten into any trouble in my life, except for a couple of traffic vi...olations that were rectified. When I was arrested, II was at my most vulnerable point in my life, but Chip helped me to understand the "legal process" and to ensure my safety. . What truly opened my eyes, were the classes he suggested that I take: DUI School and the Victim Impact Panel. In the end, I was extremely satisfied with his services as he and Connie communicated with me regularly and were always there to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend Mr. Siegel to help you and it would be a tragedy to choose another attorneI've learned. Thanks, Debbie

Highly Recommend

After being arrested for a 1st DUI I contacted Mr. Chip Siegel and arranged an initial consultation. I've never been in trouble with the law and was terrified about what ramifications this could have on my life and career. Mr. Siegel was very professional and immediately put my mind at ease. He cl...early explained what we were looking at and gave me realistic expectations without over promising results. I hired Mr. Siegel and was impressed with how knowledgeable he is with the specifics of DUI law. He meticulously looks for any angle in which to provide an aggressive defense given the facts of the case. At the same time, I appreciate the way Mr. Siegel conducts himself without personal judgement. Getting arrested for a DUI is embarrassing, everyone makes mistakes. For me this whole process was a big wake up call and has caused me to make many positive changes in my life. To make a long story short, thanks to Mr. Siegel my DUI charge was reduced to reckless driving. I am very grateful to him for his knowledge and leadership throughout the whole process. If you are in a similar situation I recommend you hire this attorney and follow his advice! Take the classes he recommends ahead of time, be proactive in addressing the reasons that you ended up in this spot in the first place. By following his advice you put yourself in the best position for him to help you, and in my case he did not disappoint. First class attorney, thanks Mr. Siegel!!

Best DUI Attorney

I highly recommend using the Law Office of Chip Siegel, Esq. Chip represented me in a DUI case where I thought my life was going to be over. He was not only able to resolve the case for me with the best possible outcome, but he was also able to represent me in court without me having to show up to co...urt in Nevada since I live in California. If you unaware of how a DUI process works, it can be very lengthy and take up to 6 months or sometimes longer, Throughout the entire case Chip & his staff were very informative and easy to get in touch with if I had a question. Chip is not the typical attorney that just wants to take your money, He cares about his clients and walks you through every step along the way. If you find yourself in a situation where you are in need of a criminal defense attorney in the Las Vegas, Nevada area, stop looking and go with Chip. He will not let you down.

Very professional with results

Chip was objective from our first visit regarding the defense of a difficult DUI charge. He outlined the problem areas as well as the areas where there was a chance for a reduced charge. His advice to be proactive and to take suggested classes related to DUI arrests before trial paid off in the end. ...His knowledge of the law and of the DA's office, and his commitment to put in the time needed for the best possible outcome resulted in just that.

Great job!

Jay was great. He and his staff are very professional. I would definitely recommend Jay to anyone who needs representation. I was facing a 2nd DUI within 7 years which made for a very stressful situation. Jay was very knowledgable and explained the possibilities of what could happen. Made me feel ve...ry comfortable with him taking the case. Just went to trial the other day and was very pleased with the outcome. DUI school, couple of classes and a fine. Finish the terms of the agreement within 4 months and the DUI will be reduced to wreck-less driving. A big thanks to Jay and his staff for helping me during a difficult time.
