Goals were achieved
I had a wreck in Feburary 2016 with a BAC of .24 taken at the station. Mr. Mullis achieved all of the goals he set forth at our first meeting. I ended up with no DUI charge, no license suspension, and no jail time. Very knowledgable and works hard on the cases he represents. Highly recommend!
