DUI and Felony case

I hired Mr. Sommers to assist me with two felony charges along with a DUI charge at the age 19. Mr. Sommers was able drop one felony charge and minimize the second felony charge to a misdemeanor. His exceptional knowledge and history with DUI cases resulted in a temporary license for an extra 4 month...s, no jail time, and minimized my community service hours. By fighting for me, I was able to continue moving forward with my life with less barriers than I initially expected. I was referred to Mr. John Sommers once before and since then I've referred him to two other individuals for their DUI cases. It is proven that Mr. Sommers is a great lawyer with extensive practice which is demonstrated with the results he provides each client .

Nothing to fear

2016 was the first time I've ever had to contact a lawyer, and I'm really glad I went with Mr. Sommers. He was always on time, very professional, and sends letters and emails letting you know what's going on with every step of the case. My biggest fear was that lawyers always try and price things ex...tremely high, or drag out the case so that you own them more, but I was really blessed to find John. His retainer fee was fair and and even accepted payment installments, and once the pre-trial portion of my case was done he simply sat me down and walked me through my options and explained why each one was the best, and never blanked on any of my questions. He could have told me to go to trial but and taken all my money but he told me it wasn't worth its, and my penalties weren't nearly as bad as i had feared, due to his negotiation skills. In short, go with Mr. Sommers, he's fair and honest, and made me so relaxed about the case that I almost forgot I had one. Nothing to fear here.

John Higgins Sommers' Is All Pro

On September 1 2016 I was arrested for a D.U.I I opted for the breathalyzer test and my result was right at 0.08%. Right at the legal limit. I unfortunately have a history of two previous D.U.I's. So naturally I was extremely concerned. A few days later I was inundated with letters from countless la...w offices. After reviewing a couple of dozen or so of these letters along with my girlfriend I contacted Mr. Sommers. After my conversation with Mr. Sommers considering his history in the very court room where my case was presented and Mr. Sommers' track record and consulting my girlfriend, we agreed and decided that John Sommers' firm was our best option. After four months on January 2, 2017 I made contact with Mr. Sommers regarding another matter and in that conversation he informed me that the case had been dismissed. I could not have been more delighted! More like so relieved that I told John I wanted to hug him! My girlfriend was nearly in tears of joy and we must have hugged each other for a good five minutes. Between the time that I hired John and January 2nd. Mr. Sommers was almost always available to take my call and answer any questions I had. If he wasn't available he was always quick to respond. I made a very poor decision on September 1st 2016 and nearly paid dearly for it. I was fortunate enough to have such a professional litigator in my corner! What a great way to begin the new year! This has been a big lesson for me and gave me the opportunity to reflect on the truly important things in life. Family and friends. That means safety comes first. If one is going to consume even just one alcoholic beverage. Please don't drink and drive. Uber Lyft taxi or walk. To anyone who ever finds themselves in such an unfortunate circumstance I would absolutely recommend John Higgins Sommers and his law firm to represent them in a court of law!

DUI

After being in an accident and being arrested for a DUI, I found it all very overwhelming and realized I needed legal representation. I spoke to several different attorneys but quickly chose to go with John Sommers, and I don't regret that decision. He guided me through the process, was very organize...d and answered any and all of my questions. His rates are fair and he got me a good deal, I would recommend John's services to anyone.

First Class legal representation

John is very organized and did a great job representing me. I was arrested in Pasadena and had returned to Texas. He handeled my case from long distance and always kept me informed, got the charges reduced, and recently had them expunged. Hire him with confidence!
