Posted by Sheila | May 13, 2010 | DUI & DWI

Experienced criminal defense attorney

When I was charged with Driving Under the Influence, everyone told me that I was going to jail and there was no reason to hire an attorney. When I met with Doug Schwab, he was honest with me about what to expect and I ended up hiring him to represent me. After a thorough investigation, he was able to... get my DUI charge reduced to reckless driving because of issues with the stop, and I didn't end up serving any jail time! He was very professional and I would call him again in a heartbeat if I ever got in trouble again!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
