BEST DUI Lawyer!

Mr. Quinn did an EXCELLENT job representing and defending me with my DUI case. In August 2017, I made a poor decision to drive home after having some drinks with friends. I was pulled over by a State Trooper and failed the sobriety testing, handed over my driver's license and given an OVI. I was FR...EAKING OUT because I work in the medical field and an OVI on my record could have been the end of my career that I worked so hard and put in many, many years to achieve. I looked online for a DUI attorney in Cleveland, read all the reviews and quickly called Mr Quinn. I'm so happy I did! I have never been in trouble before so I did not know what to expect with the court hearings. I work full time so Mr. Quinn kindly sent lawyers from his office to the first two hearings on my behalf. Mr. Quinn also gave me his personal cell phone number. Being so worried about possibly losing my career over my mistake, I am sure I over called him with questions. He always called me back and reassured me that things were going to be alright. In the courtroom, he was clearly well respected and known in the Cleveland Municipal Court. Thankfully, Mr Quinn was able to get my OVI dropped to a physical control. I had my driver's license suspended for 6 months, attended 3 MADD meetings (very informative and eye-opening real life stories) and attended a 3-day DIP program. I'm very thankful that my poor choice did not result in an accident and no one was hurt. I learned my lesson from the whole experience. I have not had a single drink of alcohol since being pulled over by the cop. Mr. Quinn is a wonderful DUI lawyer whom I would recommend to ANYONE who finds themselves in a similar situation.

Reduced charges

Where do I begin. I got myself into a really bad situation where I needed representation. I have family friends who work in law and just common sense, one would want to go with the best. I believe I found that with Quinn Legal Associates. In addition, many friends said if they needed representation ...they'd choose Pat Quinn. Patrick represented me in my case and he did a fantastic job. He worked hard to reduce the sentence based on the evidence. He explained to me this is his prime focus and well experienced in this area. He worked hard to reduce my charges and it worked and he was able to prevent an OVI going on my record and no points added. This was such a relief and I am very grateful for his help. This was definitely a learning lesson that will not be repeated and can happen to more people then you think. So my advice is if you are drinking, tired, or impaired do not have your keys available to you. In addition, he took care of this process in such a timely manner so this reduced anxiety and such and can place this matter behind me. Oh and another thing I'd like to mention is there have been stricter changes to first time offenders as recent as spring 2017 and my offense occurred well after and I still came out with a favorable outcome and no OVI charge. This was such a learning lesson and I am lucky I had Patrick on my side. Thank you.

First Time OVI

Mr. Quinn was an excellent choice for a lawyer. This was my first OVI and as a young professional it could have very serious, lasting impacts on my future career. Mr. Quinn was very understanding in what I needed from him and was able to help in getting my charge reduced to a non-alcohol related off...ense. I found Mr. Quinn through this site (Avvo.com) and am happy I did. Mr. Quinn was very easy to get in touch with and was always willing to answer my calls, even on vacation. Any missed calls were returned promptly. Mr. Quinn's office staff was very personable and accommodating and any assistance was always promptly provided. I am overall very happy with my experience with Mr. Quinn.

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.

Absolutely the BEST OVI attorney!

Patrick Quinn was the only attorney to answer my call on a frazzled Sunday morning after my arrest for an OVI. He actually answered the phone himself. What a relief to speak with him. Not only had I contacted a dozen attorneys that morning, but all I had managed to get were answering services. Patric...k came to my house that very day and the first words he spoke to me were "take it easy on yourself and leave the worrying to me." He wasn't concerned about finances, just about helping me. He took time to answer all of my questions, and listen to my particular circumstances. I am in the medical field and I was terrified of the repercussions the offense would have on my career. Patrick "held my hand" through the entire process. Throughout everything Patrick was always available to answer questions, he got me driving privileges as fast as possible and the best part, he got my OVI reduced. He was able to get my OVI reduced to reckless operation. Words cannot describe the feeling of knowing the offense had been reduced. If you find yourself in the awful position of an arrest, don't wait, call Patrick Quinn immediately. He is reliable, hard working, kind, intelligent and has a great way of making you laugh when all you want to do is cry. You want this man on your side. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
