Exceptional DUI attorney

I wholeheartedly recommend Ben Melnick for any type of DUI case. The night I was arrested for DUI, I was panicking and called through the list of attorney names that were provided at the police station. Luckily, I was able to get a hold of Ben, and he was instantly helpful in providing advice on wh...at I should and should do or say that night. Subsequently, I did a review of the DUI attorneys in the Vancouver area to select the lawyer I would use throughout my process. Although Ben has been licensed for only a short time, I was very impressed with his breadth of knowledge and acumen. Interestingly, as I interviewed other attorneys on the phone, two of them asked who else I was talking to. I mentioned Ben's name among others, and they said very positive things about him--even as they were competing for my business. Ben left no stone unturned as he examined the police report, the evidence, and the test results. He was able to get my administrative suspension (DOL) thrown out because the test was not performed precisely per WA state law. He interviewed the police officer during discovery and thoroughly evaluated the interview with the written report. He even went out the actual arrest location to gather information about the evening of my arrest. Throughout my ordeal, Ben was extremely helpful, compassionate, respectful, and knowledgeable. He treated me with dignity and helped me maintain positive focus when I was feeling overwhelmed and depressed, and very embarrassed. He always gave me balanced, informed advice, and helped me think through my options at every step. Ben was also very responsive and available. He took numerous calls from me to talk through the complexities of my case, was patient when I asked him the same question several times to truly understand the answer, and he provided me his cell phone number so I could text him anytime--day or night. I've worked with attorneys before who are very difficult to reach and may not respond for days, sometimes. Ben was always willing to respond to my questions and texts....truly admirable. Overall, I am deeply appreciative to Ben for his help and assistance through the entire process. I recommend him without hesitation, and would select him over attorneys with many years of experience.
