Best Law Firm and Great Result

I got a DUI several months ago. My case was in Bellingham and after my first court date I called the Jolly Law Firm. I met with David and was impressed with him and his assistant. I ended up meeting with two other lawyers but quickly called back David and hired him. He had my DUI reduced to a much le...ss serious offense and no probation and no jail. I cannot say enough about the whole fire. I am really thankful. HIRE HIM!

Extremely pleased

Mr. Jolly was able to get my charges nearly dropped, a scenario I was told was likely impossible based on my BAC. The evidence of his value as an attorney is in his successes. He fought hard for me and did not give up the fight until he received a deal he was satisfied with, while also explaining wha...t could reasonably be expected at every step of the way. Further, his office and staff take the guess work and anxiety out of the entire process. As soon as I hired Mr. Jolly I felt I was in good hands. Hopefully, I’m never in this situation ever again, but in the event that I am I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Mr. Jolly again. Thank you for your hard work!

Knowledgable, professional, and ready to stand with you in court

I never imagined I'd be dealing with a DUI, but that's suddenly where I found myself last fall. As I started researching attorneys someone a relative suggested I contact David. I'm so glad he did! During the initial consultation David's experience became evident, not only his knowledge of law and ...what options we might have for a potential plea deal (given this was my first offense), but also his compassion as he recognized my devastation over it all. I also appreciated his candor and willingness to let me ask whatever questions I needed to better understand the process. Once I hired David's office Caitlin and Janean stepped in to help me make sure I knew when my court dates were, what requirements the courts would expect me to complete, and to keep the lines of communication open. Casie, David's assistant, joined me at my first court appearance and also, literally, walked with me to the various offices to tie up loose ends once my sentence had been pronounced. Having these fine folks in my corner was a huge relief! Their knowledge, patience, and professionalism was just what I needed to give me some semblance of hope that things would turn out okay. All things considered, I couldn't have asked for a better outcome! Thank you, David, Casie, Caitlin, and Janean, for all of your help!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thorough and complimentary review. I appreciate the fact that you didn't leave your name - but of course I know who you are - and I can tell you, the pleasure was ours! We know that each case is different and sometimes we spend most of our time fighting little legal issues, such was your case. However, the overwhelming impression I am left with was how wonderful a client you were! I might also add, I appreciate the fact that you referenced my staff who work just as hard as I do. That was very kind - thank you!!

The Very Best Attorney

I hired David in 2017. I was charged with a DUI - my second in my lifetime. I was very embarrassed and ashamed but David and his staff made no judgments and were very kind. I met him within a day of the event and he was very honest - but was optimistic that the case could improve. He also gave me... some material and a book that was very helpful. However, I am very thorough and met with 4 other attorneys. David was by far (no kidding, by far) the most knowledgeable and his fees were affordable - 3 of the other 4 attorneys were more expensive. Fees are important but experience and knowledgeable is more important. After two weeks of research I hired David. We met regularly during the case and after 5 months I felt a little discouraged - the State wanted me to plead guilty and serve alot of jail. A week before our final court date David called me and said the new offer he negotiated was a reduction to Reckless Driving and 0 jail. I cried on the phone. I know I was fortunate and not every case ends up like mine, but if you want the best chance you will hire David. Take it from me. Thank you to David, Janean and all the staff.

Great Lawyer.

Mr. Jolly represented me about 7 years ago for a DUI and got that reduced with no jail. He did an excellent job. Unfortunately I got another DUI and went back to David. I was a little embarassed but he made me feel comfortable. He carefully gave me options and the option I chose was deferred prosec...ution. Before I did this David insisted we have a lengthy meeting to be sure I understood everything about the program (all the stuff they don't tell you in court), There was so many things I didn't know about. I still chose the deferred prosecution and David and his staff got it approved and saved my license. I look forward to seeing David again in 5 years when we go back to court and get the dismissal. Thank you David and thank you Janean.
