Case dismissed

I was arrested for DUII and hit and run. The police got a search warrant. Neil was able to get a lot of the evidence tossed out. He was also able to show that the police didn’t really know what they were doing. The prosecutor tried to take me to trial. Neil knew how to prevent the prosecutor from doi...ng his job. My whole case was dismissed.

The lawyer who wins

I recently had the experience of being represented by Neil, an outstanding lawyer who navigated my DUI case with exceptional expertise and determination. As a college student at OSU, facing a DUI charge was incredibly daunting, especially with graduation around the corner. From the outset, my law...yer faced considerable challenges, including a judge who were resistant to our motions and withheld crucial records. Despite these obstacles, my attorney's deep knowledge of the law and strategic acumen shone through. My case, which involved a BAC of .07, stretched over two intense days in court. Throughout it all, my lawyer stood firm, skillfully challenging the opposition and defending my rights with unwavering commitment. His adept handling of my case helped uncover a pattern of questionable DUI charges by the same officer, including a shocking instance where a woman registered a BAC of 0.0 and tested clean, yet still faced charges. These revelations have since triggered lawsuits against the police and sheriff’s departments. What impressed me most was not just his legal prowess but also his readiness to stand up for justice, to the extent that he was prepared for the possibility of being detained for his robust defense. He even informed his colleagues to be ready to bail him out on the last day of the trial, a testament to his dedication and fearlessness. Thanks to his efforts, we won the case. I am immensely grateful for his dedication and would highly recommend him to anyone facing legal challenges. His ability to handle pressure and complexity, paired with his commitment to his clients, makes him a standout attorney.

Professional, knows the law, and isn’t afraid of a fight

I contacted Mr. Halttunen to represent me in a DUII. He got back to me right away and it was clear from the start that he’s very well versed in the law. He was realistic about my case but I had no doubt that he wouldn’t hesitate to go to trial if necessary. We won the DMW hearing and he negotiated a ...good diversion deal for me. I found his presence reassuring and I was well prepared when it came time to go to court. I would highly recommend him.

Knows what he is doing

Someone I care about was arrested for DUII after a rollover crash and had a blood draw that showed they were over the limit. Neil knew how to challenge the arrest and evidence. The whole case wound up getting dismissed.

I'm very impressed with my whole experience. Mr. Halttunen was very forward and professional while maintaining a personable demeanor. I felt comfortable taking his advice and trusted in his knowledge, he was able to get my duii charge dismissed as well as my dws charge. I feel very fortunate to have ...had Mr. Halttunen as my attorney through this process.
