DUI case

Mr. Selmer was an excellent lawyer. I had a previous attorney for a DUI but Selmer pretty much made the dui go away. He kept me informed of all my options and adviced me about what my options were. He always sought my best interest and what I wanted to get out of my case. He was able to get many coun...ts dropped on my case and dropped my third DUI count down to a wet reckless.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
