Thank you!!

I can't thank Alex enough for the incredible job he did getting my DUI case dismissed. From our very first meeting, he treated me with respect and made sure I understood every step of the process. He never made me feel judged and was always professional, approachable, and honest. Alex's knowledge of... DUI law is exceptional, and his courtroom presence was nothing short of impressive—calm, confident, and persuasive. He clearly knew how to handle the case and fought hard on my behalf, leading to the best possible outcome. I also want to give a special thank-you to his secretary, Stacey. She was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process—always friendly, organized, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. Her help made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. If you're in need of a skilled and compassionate attorney, I highly recommend Alex and his team. They truly go above and beyond for their clients.

If you got a dui and need a defense lawyer, read this immediately.

My case involved a traffic accident while under the influence, as well as possession of something bad. They had my blood and I was totally busted. I had called several attorneys before speaking to Alex at Wheeler Boyd. The first attorneys I spoke with told that pleading guilty and falling at the ...mercy of the court was my best option. When I told Alex this, he immediately told me that he may be able to help me and that those attorneys weren't correct. He said a charge reduction and dismissal were a possibility. As we went through the legal process, Alex promptly answered any questions I had, many of witch were after hours and variables that potentially made my case more difficult to defend. His verbiage was always supportive and optimistic. He was honest. Never overpromised but was confident in his ability to help me. More importantly, the results. He used his contacts and obvious skills to have my one charge reduced and another pending dismissal. Along the way, I have spoken to endless people in my situation and every last single time, my outcome was far more favorable. A blessing. I literally got a break. A second chance. You must make sure to ask for Alex in particular as I can't vouche for any other attorney as he was one that worked magic. Lastly, I will mention the cost. Totally in the same realm other attorneys were charging and he allowed me payments. The cost is a fraction of what greater consequences would have cost me both in time and money. Courteous, professional and empathetic. 5 stars. Strongly recommend.

Alex is a Godsend. I could not ask for more.

After my DUI arrest, I was offered legal services while being processed through Clark County. I chose an attorney "blindly," from numbers provided by the attending officer. Thank God I ended up with Alex. Alex met with me before I was released from Clark County. He was thorough and professional. ...He made me feel like a respectable human being during a stressful and embarrassing situation, following a terrible decision on my part. I met Alex at his office the day after my release. He explained the process I was about to go through in very great detail. The amount of information and the steps needed to deal with the situation would have been overwhelming to me while dealing with family and professional life. Alex never left me wanting for information, or without the confidence that every detail was taken care of. Alex managed to "win" my WA DOL administrative hearing, saving me potentially thousands of dollars. He setup and guided me through all of the necessary actions required by the criminal court. I would have had no idea how to proceed without his guidance. If that wasn't enough...I received an errant license suspension letter from the state of Washington sometime after I had met all of the compliance requirements laid out for me. I contacted Alex again, having no idea how to resolve the issue. He sorted it out immediately and kept me informed every step of the way. He again saved me countless hassles and potentially thousands of dollars. I highly recommend Alex and his entire team. The rates were more than reasonable and the service was beyond any of my expectations. Thank You Alex for your knowledge, guidance and humanity through a very stressful and embarrassing time.

The best in town.

I got pulled over and arrested. I insisted on calling my traffic ticket attorney, and they didn't answer, and they didn't call me back. So there I am, in the police station with two grumpy cops. The state trooper handed me a list and said choose somebody. Well, isn't that grand... clock is tic...king, I need advice and I'm picking a number at random from a list of people I don't know. Well, right then my luck changed big time. Not only did Alex answer the call literally, he did so figuratively. Make no bones about it, as a guy not used to being in the legal system, this process sucks. You are going to hate it. Do yourself a favor and get the best help you can with your driving or DUI legal issue. Call Alex. Save your sanity. Get a real pro to help you through every single step of the process. I was guided through it so I had good opportunities to do what the court mandated, with as little hassle as possible. Like I said, it's gonna suck, but a great lawyer helps it suck less. Alex has been available, responsive, kind, calm, and helpful through this whole mess, and helped me get a more reasonable sentence and penalty even though I allowed myself to get into a pickle. He's still working for me, now helping me get back property that was seized when I was arrested. Well worth the fee, which, frankly is not any more than other lawyers. Lawyers aren't cheap, but bad lawyers are really expensive. Don't be stupid. Think about consequences of your actions. It's easy to get carried away and not think smart... So if you mess up, keep your mouth shut and get the best help you can, and that's Alex. It's coming up on 5 months. From the first call from the police station late at night to today, every time I have called or emailed Alex, he has been absolutely on top of things and he did everything he said he would.

Five star attorney with a winning record

Alex is an excellent attorney. Alex was referred to me by another attorney who consulted with him and then recommended him to me because he had experience with cases like mine. Alex came up with a winning strategy for me at an important time when other attorneys couldn’t figure it out. Alex impress...ed me with his knowledge of the law and his ability to leverage his resources in the legal community. I am very grateful to have found Alex and would give him my highest recommendation to others. Alex is a true five star professional .

DUI and DWI lawyer | Dec 14

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"There's something to said about an attorney who focuses their entire practice on one area of law. It gives the attorney to really dive into the details and nuances of it. Alex Uskoski practices nearly exclusively in DUI and criminal law law. He has an incredible wealth of knowledge in this area. A main area of focus for him are DOL administrative hearings which are notoriously known as being difficult to win. He has become my "go to" guy when I want another opinion or have a question on DUI. He definitely is an asset to the defense bar and I am proud to call him a colleague. I would recommend him without hesitation."
