HIRE ANDREW PEVETO THE BEST DWI LAWYER IN DFW!!!!!

I was busted for drunk driving and thought my life with over. Mr. Peveto and his paralegal came to my aid and made a world of difference. In the end I didn't even have to go to prison which is good right? I mean I had contacted several other lawyers in Dallas and all wanted to charge an arm and a leg..., the Peveto law firm was the only one that offered a payment plan and gave me cheaper rates because I explain to the lawyer I was having money problems and can't afford to pay an expensive lawyer tohandle my case. Mr Peveto was very understanding and worked with me on andhelped me out when the other lawyers just wanted money first. Andrew Peveto believed in my and didn't judge or call me a pothead and took a chance and saved my life! I would recommend him to anyone, if you ever find yourself in legal troubles hire Andrew peveto and you will be relieved! Trust me I did!

Made everything more manageable.

I was arrested for a DWI and I had no idea how to proceed. Mr. Peveto helped me through the whole process. He explained the whole process and told me both best and worst case scenarios in detail. He was always reachable and returned phone calls within reasonable time.

misdemeanor possesion of marijuana

I had a great experience with my representation from Mr. Peveto. I was well informed on the proceedings and what my options would be. The plea he was able to obtain was far better than what i expected . I would highly recommend his representation to any one with a similar charge or a DUI.

Andrew Peveto Review

I went to Andrew for a DWI case. I was pulled over in Fall of 08'. This was my 2nd DWI case. My first ended in a conviction. It had been nearly 10 years since my last but in Texas that doesn't matter. Andrew was very honest and forthcoming of my options. He agreed to take my case but cautioned me... of the strict enforcement in Collin County. I felt that my case was winnable based on my alcohol level. After reviewing the video tape we were about 50/50 that we could win the case. Andrew did a great job of working with the DA to convince him that we were prepared to go to trial. The DA came back with a plea that would essentially make my conviction a first time offense instead of a second which meant only probation. I took the plea and have since served my probation. Andrew and team were very thorough and knowledgeable throughout the process. I would recommend Andrew for any DWI case involving Collin County.

DWI Charge Dismissed!

I was charged with DWI in April 2009 in Murphy, Texas. I failed the breathalyzer test and was arrested and taken to the Collin County jail. I spoke to several lawyers and was basically told that I should just plea since I "blew" and failed. I felt comfortable with Mr. Peveto and knew from my initial ...consultation that I could trust and rely on Mr. Peveto to have my best interest in mind. Mr. Peveto did not try and pressure me into pleading out my case. He actually listened to me and had faith in my character. He and his staff viewed me as a person and not just another case. I had never been in any kind of trouble before and was very scared and confused as to what I should do about my misfortune. I had heard horror stories and just knew my case would end drastically. Choosing Mr. Peveto was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Mr. Peveto was patient, loyal, respectful, non-judgmental, supportive, aggressive and protective. Mr. Peveto and his staff kept me informed on all aspects of my case and he attended every one of my court appointments with me. Mr. Peveto won my ALR Hearing, so my driver's license was not suspended. My Collin County criminal case was set for a jury trial, but 1 day before the trial Mr. Peveto successfully had my DWI case dismissed! I could not believe it and was thrilled! I would strongly recommend the Peveto Law Group to anyone! Honestly, I never thought I would make it through the ALR and court process which seemed one-sided, intimidating and scary. I plan to work with Mr. Peveto on an expungement of my case and would definitely refer Mr. Peveto to my family acquaintances and friends if needed.
