Excellent DUI/OVI Attorney

Patrick Quinn handled my DUI case in a competent and responsive manner. He personally visited my home on a Sunday on the day I called him to discuss the details of my arrest and charges I was faced with. He was very trustworthy and followed through on commitments made from his initial visit. I was ch...arged with a DUI/OVI and the end result of the case was a failure to control citation which was only 2 points on my license. He is very knowledgeable about all of the guidelines the Police are required to follow related to DUI and OVI cases. Was also very flexible with the payment of legal fees. I highly recommend this attorney.

The Best

I can say, I have had to deal with different lawyers in the past from traffic issues, to unlawful stops to child support. Pat is a no B.S. attorney that I would use from here on out. I can say he became a friend, he tells you like it is, and helped me get the ending I needed to be able to keep my lic...ense and my job. Thanks again Pat, Sincerely Shawn S.

Charged with a DUI

I was charged with a DUI back in February and from the first time I called Pat for help he was extremely helpful and knowledgable with every step in the process. He was very quick to answer my phone calls and any questions I had that came up along the way. He respected my time and made me feel at eas...e through this stressful period. I highly recommend Pat to anybody and I can tell through my interactions with him that he is one of the best lawyers in area.

Trust Me . . . Retain this Attorney!!!

Highly, highly recommend!!! I had my very first alcohol related offense last August. Previously, my driving record was stellar, not even a parking ticket to speak of. Needless to say, once the initial DUI shock wore off, I started an online search for an attorney. I didn't want to ask friends/fam...ily for a good DUI attorney because I was embarrassed. Thankfully, I located My Quinn! Once I placed that initial call into his office, I immediately knew I had the right person for the job. His office administrator was kind, helpful and she immediately put the message through to Mr. Quinn. I was amazed this man called me from the airport 5 minutes later! He was leaving for the weekend and called me before he went through security, then called me back once he passed through the security gate. My Quinn will be: *Professional and a no-nonsense attitude type of attorney you need to fight for you *Thoroughly experienced within the court system. During my pre-trial I would watch other attorneys not seem as prepared. *Knowledgeable of every DUI law like the back of his hand. I also witnessed another attorney ask Mr. Quinn for his advice on a matter for the other attorney’s client. *Thorough. He actually drove back to the area of where I was arrested and determined the officers reporting details did not match up. He did this on a Sunday! My DUI was then reduced to a physical control….zero points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I even took some of his business cards to pass out to colleagues and friends. It documents good advice that will help them “before” should an instance arise. I sincerely believe in paying it forward and if I can help one person select the correct attorney by my recommendation, I hope he/she would do the same as well.

He makes them follow the rules.

Mr. Quinn represented me in an OVI charge in Mentor, Ohio. Throughout the process he kept me informed of my options, advised me about what I needed to do to provide information to properly address the charge and succeeded in having the charge reduced. In short, he makes them follow the rules. I hi...ghly recommend Mr. Quinn to anyone needing legal assistance. A Very Satisfied Client
