Great Lawyer

This was my second DUI in Las Vegas. I went to Jay Siegel after reading his reviews. From the moment I consulted with him he addressed all of my issues and concerns about my case. He helped put my mind at ease with what possible outcomes could come of my particular situation. He as well as his ass...istant Connie answer all my questions in a timely fashion. Literally within an hour of an email or phone call they would get back to me with the information I needed or was looking for. I would highly reccommend Jay Siegel as a lawyer.

I first found out about Chip Siegel online. What I liked most about him is he did not rely on fancy billboards or TV ads screaming "hire me"! Instead, his quality work travelled around by word of mouth and great reviews. I'd like to add to his reviews, that Chip is very competent with the law. He a...sked me all the right questions during our discussion of my DUI case. It had me convinced for sure that we had this case beat right then and there! ..which in the end we did. On top of everything, Chip represented me personally. Unlike the other guys whom charges and arm and a leg just to have some law intern represent you with your life at stake. Not Chip! He follows up with you personally, he's easy to get a hold of, he'll walk you through everything and everything he said that would happen, happened. A man of his word! Of course nothing is guaranteed, but with Chip Siegel, you get the "peace of mind" you been hoping for. All the weight will be lifted off your shoulders once you hire him. Just listen to what he has to say, follow his instructions and let him work his miracle.

Honest Attorney

Jay explained every step of the case to me from the letters that I would receive from DMV, to the court appearances that he would make on my behalf. Jay does an excellent job at keeping you informed about your case, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jay Siegel.

Incredible Lawyer

I hired Jay "Chip" Siegel in June 2013 and my case was just resolved in June 2014. Chip is the absolute best you can hire. I was charged with DUI with a high BAC. Jay was factual and told me the process would take about a year. He was correct in everything he told me. Chip negotiated a miracle o...n my behalf as a first time offender. I have learned my lesson well...But Chip and his assistant Connie made this horrible experience easier to get through because of their professionalism and experience. Don't hire anyone else if you are charged with DUI in Nevada...Chip is your man and I can not thank him enough. Hire Chip...and then stay out of trouble!

Review and Rating

When you get a DUI, you will face an emotional roller-coaster especially if there are multiple parties involved. Faced with that unfortunate situation, you soon realize that your job, personal records, public reputation are all at risk. There are two options to mitigate the personal damage a DUI... can cause. One option is to face the State's legal system by yourself and be at the mercy of the judge’s leniency. The second option is to obtain legal counsel. The last options is, by all means, the best option. In Las Vegas there are MANY legal counsel firms and some will try very hard to sell their services to you, promise exceptional results, and charge you very little. Be wary of these. The reason why I chose Chip Siegel and his legal staff for my case was due to the excellent customer service they provided from the very beginning. In addition, the level of professionalism was unmatched by other legal firms. Chip and his legal assistant Connie restore a sense of normality to the emotional roller-coaster that you face during these bad times by providing support to any questions and concerns that you might have regarding your case. At the end, Chip was able to reduce the DUI to a Reckless driving conviction. I was very pleased with the results and level of service his firm was able to provide. If ever needed, I would not hesitate to recommend his services to any friend or family member.
