James Ira Devitt

This last summer I was arrested for a DUI in the Valley. I was hit by an oncoming car whose drive claimed I recklessly swerved in front of her. I only blew a .06 which is .02 BELOW the limit of .08, but they still claimed I was "impaired" and charged me for a felony DUI. They said my license could ...be taken for 2 years and since my job needs me to drive the company car around LA, without a license, I'm without a job. This DUI was going to make me and my family homeless. My wife and I were clueless as to what we should do. We have 4 children at home, so this was just not an option for me and my family. We were really scared as to what was going to become of us. Neither my wife nor I had family in the area so we really had no one to turn to. With the economy down the drain, I couldn't just go out and get another job. I knew I needed professional help, more than what the courts could offer in the form of a public defender. I searched and searched for an attorney, until a friend recommended Devitt and Saltzburg. I called Jay Devitt the following Monday and spoke with him regarding my case. He was extremely professional and was able to explain everything in terms that I understood. He was very confident in his approach, which was comforting, since mine and my family's future was hanging in the balance. During all the court dates, Jay was right there with me, explaining everything in terms I could understand, rather than the usual court jargon I couldn't wrap my head around. We only went to court 4 or 5 times before Jay was able to get the charges dropped completely. No conviction on my record and I got to keep my license! Jay, you're the best and my family and I thank you!

If it wasn't for this man, I'd be in huge trouble for something totally out of my hands. I came to him when I was wrongfully arrested for battery (in all honesty, it was self defense). Although I was in a hysterical mindset, he helped me get what I needed: justice. He didn't point fingers or beat aro...und the bush- everything was straight forward. He actually put everything in perspective for me and we got through it together. Not once did he leave me hanging. When we got to court, he thoroughly proved to the courtroom that I was a victim and the case was dismissed. I would highly recommend Mr. Devitt. Not only is he professional and honest, but he's also very kind!
