Amazing and Very Thorough Attorney

I was facing a 2nd DUI Charge and was terrified at the thought of being incarcerated. Throughout the process, Patrick was very communicative and concise about what to expect and he provided me excellent representation. He looked at all the angles of the case and all the possible solutions, then went ...through all the scenarios with me and made the best decisions given the circumstances. He was able to negotiate my penalty down to a probation period along with some fines. I couldn't be more happy with his representation. I'd recommend him to anyone facing DUI charges.

Review

I Hired Patrick after being charged with DWI. I was prepared for the worst after learning that the great majority of these hearings are lost. However Patrick did an excellent job and was able to secure us a win. My license was retained, and my charge was reduced to a misconduct charge. None of tha...t would have been possible with Patrick's expert representation at the start of my case and I will always be grateful for that. I can't recommend him enough.

Patrick Scully

I recently retained attorney Patrick Scully to represent me after being arrested for driving under the infuence of drugs. His rates were so reasoable, that I was leary that he would really do anything for me. However, due to a very resticted butget after a long fight with cancer, I felt that I did...n't really have a choice... I thought I might be making a mistake, but I can now look back with confidence, and say that Patrick Scully was undoubtedly the best mistake I've ever made! Lol Not only was he very knowledgeable about all aspects of this area of the law, but I was most impressed with the emense amount of time and effort he put forth in preparing my case. I kept asking how much above his original quote we would end up at?...due to all the many complictions surrounding my case... He kept insisting that once he gives a number, he sticks to it!... yes he did! Well he must know what he's doing, because what in most cases would have resulted in a criminal record and fines starting a $2000.00, turned out to be reduced to a mere traffic infraction, and $190.00 in fines. Kaboom! So if you your dumb enough to make a mistake like I did... redeem yourself by being smart enough to hire the best! Patrick Scully....you da man!

Excellent

Patrick represented me at a DMV hearing following a DWI charge. I was prepared for the worst after learning that the great majority of these hearings are lost. However Patrick did an excellent job and was able to secure us a win. My license was restored which allowed me to fight on in court until ...I was ultimately acquitted of all charges. None of that would have been possible with Patrick's expert representation at the start of my case and I will always be grateful for that. I can't recommend him enough.

Grateful for preventing life altering consequenses from a serious personal mistake.

I would reccommend Patrick Scully to anyone who makes the same mistake I did. The representation was perfect and Patrick established a relationship with myself and my family. I felt he was compasionate and that meeting my goals was his priority. With what I had to loose from the charges against me an...d the objective evidence against me in my case I thought the mistake I made was going to ruin my life. I was not optimistic at all. I am forever grateful to Patrick Scully and can't thank him enough. Sincerely Kyle
