The Best Choice I Ever Made

When I chose Mr. Blalock for my first (and last!) DUI, I was unsure of everything, including my decision to hire him. Now, looking back on it all, I think of it as one of the best decisions of my life. Not only did he go the extra mile in a myriad of ways, but, and I know this sounds strange, his voi...ce on the phone soothed and relaxed me each time. And I sure needed that. I was filled with anxiety. I call him the Zen lawyer, because he seemed to relieve my stress just with the tone of his voice. But most important, he fought to get me the best possible outcome, and because of Covid, the case dragged on for years. He never raised his quite reasonable fee, even though he put countless hours beyond what is normal. Rock solid integrity is rare in a lawyer, and he has it in spades. I almost wish I got into trouble again, just so I could have the pleasure of his support. The key word is 'almost.' I'm sober now, and may never see him again. My loss.

Highly recommend

I consulted Mr. Blalock regarding a DUI. I was ashamed and I thought I would loose my job. I was truly scared. He answered my call right away, he was professional and nonjudmental. He provided me with all the information I needed to make an informed decision about how to proceed with my case. He repr...esented me and went out of his way to get the best possible outcome which allowed me to move on with my life.

DUI? Hire the best - Blalock

You’ve heard it before - don’t drink and drive. It’s the wrong thing to do - so take a ride share and have a good time. BUT - if you find yourself suddenly facing a DUI charge - and you are needing a lawyer to represent you - who absolutely knows what he’s doing - don’t hesitate, pick up the phone ri...ght away and call Mr Blalock. He is a pro. As a busy business owner I count on experts when I need them. My time is valuable and Mr Blalock explained to me from the beginning that he would handle everything from start to finish for a single flat fee. And he did exactly that. Every court appearance, every DMV hearing, and all correspondence on my behalf was handled professionally. I was updated on a consistent basis and accessing the client portal was easy and available at all times to get a status on progress for my case. In the end charges were reduced to my satisfaction, fines were lower than expected, DMV related penalties were dismissed, and there was no license suspension. Yes - I have to pay the price for being .08 - a wet reckless - but Mr Blalock did a wonderful job for me and I highly recommend him if you are in need. In the meantime - learn how to use Uber and Lyft and keep the roads safe. I do. You won’t regret it..... CC

Thank God I called Mr Blalock! I felt better from my 1st contact with Mr Blalock, he spent over an hour explaining my case & his ideas to handle my case. I never had togo to any court hearings, my DUI case was dismissed tottally...... His office staff were always available & friendly...... Not to me...ntion his price was the best I had found.....it was a one time fee from start to one very happy client!

Great lawyer. Very hard working and professional.

Nothing but good to say about Mr. Blalock. Not only was he extremely professional, he was very easy to get a hold of and communicate with. Worth every penny. Did a great job getting me an awsome deal on my second DUI. Very happy with the result. I highly recommend him to represent you.

"The best! Helped my client out and gave me great advice. I was referred to him by another lawyer. I worked on a few DUI's years ago but Anthony was great with my case. I've referred cases to other attorneys and not been happy with how they handled my client. Anthony was easy to work with, kept me informed and the client informed. If you have a client that gets a DUI you can feel safe referring them to Mr. Blalock."

  • 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.
