He new when and where to be and who to contact. He listened to all our concerns and was always honest straightforward, always keeping us in the loop. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He is just good people and he genuinely cares. A lawyer with integrity.

Dui 2nd offense jury trial
Jeff represented me in a DUI jury trial in september of 2009. Jeff is a excellent trial lawyer. I was charged with a 2nd offense DUI, I had also refused the breathalyzer test. I couldn't be happier with the results of my case. The prosecution offered a reckless driving plea bargain prior to trial, which i refused. The case went to trial and the jury returned a verdict of NOT GUILTY after only 17 minutes of deliberations. I would highly recommend Jeff MacNichols to anyone seeking legal representation. If you need the best, call Jeff…

Excellent
Jeffrey MacNichols is one of the best criminal attorneys ever. He always kept me informed or if I had questions he would always return my call that day or early the next business day. Jeff will tell you like it is and will go the extra mile to see if he can find another solution to the court's request.
