Knowledgeable and thorough

If you have a traffic violation or DUI Patrick should be your choice for representation in the court system. He just handled my wife's DUI with great expertise. He speaks honest, clearly and candidly as to what to expect through the entire process. Having someone such as Patrick on your side that kno...ws how to work the legal system and the courts is always a plus. This man truly knows how to pulls strings and magic to get the best result. Should I ever receive a similar charge myself, I would call no one else.

DUI charge

I found Pat online when looking for a highly reviewed attorney. Without going into my case details, Pat was a strong attorney who represented my interests without fail. He is personable, responsive, and fights hard on your behalf. His support staff appeared to be very competent and on top of everythi...ng. Pat also had good instincts on when to push hard and be aggressive as well as when to take it easy and let things play out. He never waivered with the prosecution and ensured I reached a settlement before things ever reached court. He had done many of these cases so he has the foresight to avoid any potential problems and file any necessary motions very early on to stay ahead of the game. I was impressed from start to finish with his services. I am a very straightforward person and I appreciated Pat’s no nonsense approach. He was always very frank and clear with me, and he always responded to phone calls. Pat is a straight shooter with high integrity, and he is the man you want in your corner when you have hit a rough patch or made a mistake in your life. No regrets in goig to Quinn Legal Services to handle my OVI charge that got reduced to a 4 point moving violation.

The very best DUI lawyer in town!

I found myself in a very bad situation and I am forever grateful to Pat for getting me out of it with the best possible outcome. I was charged with a DUI and speeding. I am a professional and having a DUI on my record could have been career-ending. But as soon as I called Pat, he was able to put m...e at ease. He was very familiar with the courts and their procedures, as well as the judges and prosecutors involved. He kept me well informed through every step of the process. He used his expertise to disprove the validity of the breathalyzer that was used and the field sobriety test. The DUI case was ultimately dismissed! I highly recommend Pat Quinn to anyone who finds themselves in need of help due to a DUI charge. He works incredibly hard to get the best possible outcome he can for his clients. He is a great lawyer and an even better person!

Brilliant Life Saver!

Mr. Patrick Quinn SAVED me this week! I emailed his office at about 3 a.m. the morning after I called the police when I tapped the vehicle in front of me who stopped suddenly. I had had 1.5 beers hours earlier and I was arrested and charged with OVI and additional charges. UGH!! Mr. Quinn called me p...ersonally at 7:30 a.m. after seeing my desperate message! SO RESPONSIVE and SO QUICKLY! He came to my home to discuss my case and made sure I knew EXACTLY what he was going to do to help me and he told me what to expect during the entire process. AMAZING and HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! My DUI charges are GONE and my charge was reduced to a TRAFFIC VIOLATION. My case - I had less than 2 beers, tapped a nearly stopped vehicle in front of me, called the police to report it and the police arrested me since they smelled alcohol. I called for a police report on a minor accident and was charged with a DUI! Mr. Quinn got to know my history, my story, my personality and his understanding of me resulted in my charges being reduced SUBSTANTIALLY - I had NEVER been in trouble in my life! This was a mistake that will never happen again and Mr. Quinn made that very clear with the Mayor and opposite attorney. LIFE SAVER!!! Very best OVI/DUI lawyer - DON'T choose anyone else!!

Absolutely the best!

The day after my traffic stop and OVI charge it felt like the world had crashed down on me. I had never been in this situation and had no idea what to do. While I was picking up my car from the impound lot an employee there gave me a business card for Patrick Quinn. Calling Patrick Quinn ended up bei...ng the best decision I could have made at that difficult time. It was a Saturday when I called and Patrick answered my call immediately. He listened to my story patiently. He explained his background and experience with OVI cases. He made no promises, but stated he would do everything in his power to get the DUI dropped to a lesser charge or possibly dismissed. He put me at ease during a very stressful time. He mentioned that he was traveling to California for an OVI Testing conference and couldn't meet with me right away, but he would have an associate meet with me ASAP. The very next day his associate, Ron, came to my home to go over the nuts and bolts of my defense. It ends up that I made the right choice in hiring Patrick Quinn. Over the past couple of months I’ve learned that Patrick is highly respected by the courts and police departments as an expert in the field of OVI testing procedures and in OVI defense cases. And when he walked into the court for my pretrial I noticed immediately that he had the attention and respect of the prosecutor and judge. Patrick was able to show that some injuries I had gotten on my job made it difficult for me to successfully perform the roadside sobriety tests. And because he had carefully looked over the police video from the night of my arrest, he was able to prove that I had mentioned that to the officer just before the tests were administered. Patrick was able to get my OVI reduced to a non-alcohol related charge of Reckless Operation. I work for the government and an OVI conviction would have ended my career and made it very difficult for me to find comparable employment. Patrick came through for me when I was fighting for my livelihood and future. I highly recommend Patrick Quinn for your OVI case.
