David Nelson Jolly

I think of him as Super Dave. He got what looked like an ironclad DUI case reduced to negligent driving giving my son a second chance for his future. He was honest up front about our chances and did not promise us a pie in the sky outcome. I am thoroughly convinced he is committed to doing what ...it takes to achieve the best possible outcome. He applied his knowledge of the law, in this case an unlawful stop to garner a favorable plea bargain. He was even able to achieve a dismissal of charges at the DOL hearing. David, his partner, and office staff were as friendly, helpful, and timely as I could have wished for. They were a pleasure to deal with at every turn. When he learned my wife was ill, he actually drove all the way from Mukilteo to Oak Harbor to meet with us to discuss my son's DUI. He guided us through all phases of the case, including filing motions for continuance where necessary. For me he totally undid the stereotype of the lazy, greedy lawyer. I could not possibly be happier with Mr. Jolly and his firm. If you find yourself facing a DUI he is the man to call. Thanks David.

I made the biggest mistake of my life when I chose to drive my vehicle after having 2 drinks at a bar in Bellevue. When I was leaving, there was a check point at the exit of the parking garage. Little did I know, Bellevue Defense Attorneys are some of the hardest people to negotiate with. I had a cle...an record and this was my first time I encountered a DUI charge. After interviewing a few lawyers, I felt David Jolly was the most knowledgeable and the most passionate lawyer to represent me with this case. David was able to get the DOL judge to "dismiss" my case (which is usually very hard to do) because the police had no probable cause to stop me at the parking garage exit. Unfortunately a few weeks later, we encountered one of the toughest DA's in the Puget Sound. Even though I completed the alcohol evaluation, alcohol/drug information class, and the DUI vicitm's panel (without being asked), the DA was not willing to negotiate the charges. After going back & forth to the court house, 7 months later, David Jolly was able to speak to the DA's supervisor and negotiated them to drop the charges to a "reckless driving with NO jail time". Though I was hoping for a "negligence one", I knew if we went against them in court, it was a "DUI" vs a "dismissal", which really depended on how the judge was feeling that day. Even though I knew we had a very strong case, I decided to go with the "reckless driving with NO jail time". I felt lucky that I was even offered that by Bellevue. David Jolly was extremely friendly throughout the whole process. He knew this was my first time going through this, so he helped me step by step through the whole process. Each time I talked to him, it seemed like he really cares about his clients and their situation. It looks like he enjoys his job very much. At the courthouse, he was always very professional. His assistant Janean was also helpful through this rough time. She was so quick to inform me about the progress of my case and very quick to reply if I had any questions. She always made people feel comfortable when you entered their office. David also had another attorney by the name Carla that works with him. Each time our case had to get extended, Carla met me at the courthouse to represent me. She too was very helpful & friendly. I give David Jolly's entire office a "A+". I highly recommend them if you unluckily get a DUI. Thank you David, Janean, & Carla for everything you have done for me. I was truly blessed to have you represent me though this hard time. ONE MORE THING: David's book "The DUI Handbook For The Accused Vol. II" provided me with great information and expectations throughout the entire case.

Mr. Jolly responded to an online request for information immediately, even though it was a Sunday. He didn't try to "hard sell" me on hiring him and gave me an idea of what representation would cost in general. His office represented me through all the different facets of my case- the traffic ticket,... the court hearings, and the DOL. His staff is responsive and well informed. They are respectful and kind. I have already recommended Mr. Jolly & his firm once and will continue to do so.

I couldn't be more satisfied with the work David Jolly did on my son's case. My son was charged with a DUI (as a minor). Not only did David win the hearing with the Licensing department, he was deligent about getting him the best deal possible for the DUI. David and his office team kept us informed ...and up to date on the case at all times. His knowledge and expertise was what won our case. He really made us feel comfortable about what was going on and by being so responsive, our bad situation was turned into a good experience. I would highly recommend David Jolly ~ a wonderful attorney!
