First Offense DUI

Mr. Parrillo assisted me with a first offense DUI. I contacted his office on a Sunday morning and left a message thinking I would contacted in a few business days. To my surprise and awe I received a call just a few hours later on said Sunday. This call resulted in a sharing of documents, an expl...anation of my situation, and a scheduled in person meeting the following day. During the meeting Mr. Parrillo clearly explained the legal steps required to clear the matter. Over the next month and a half Mr. Parrillo flawlessly execute the steps on my behalf in the utmost professional manner. His legal efforts and assistance resulted in a dismissal of my DUI offense. I would highly recommend Mr. Parrillo and the offices of Marin & Barrett to family, friends, and the public in general.

I would give him 10 if I could!

I have never had to hire an attorney in my life. I went online and looked at the five star rating, and decided to make the call. Mr Parrillo listened intently, calmed my nerves, and explained the next step. He knew exactly what needed to be done, so it was resolved quickly. I would have had no idea ...how to tackle something from 15 years ago. I am so happy he answered the phone!! Thank you, thank you!
