DUI Review
I cannot say enough good about the counsel and experience of Mr. Foote. My case was sure loser in any other attorneys hands. However, Mr. Foote, through his experience and exceptional knowledge of DUI law, was able to negotiate a career saving plea. My personal advice, if your career is on the line, ...

Wayne Foote is an honest and hard working lawyer. He is not out there to take your money, he will tell you if he thinks he can get you out of the charge or if he cant. I went to him twice(2 oui). The first time he reviewed everything and told me straight up that he would not be able to get me out of ...

I was charged with DUI some time ago and I believed that the tests administered were inaccurate. I had consumed 4 drinks in a 5 hour period. At my weight, I was quite certain that I was not intoxicated. I spoke to two other attorneys prior to speaking with Wayne and both used the word plea with me...

As a younger DUI attorney who was recently accepted into the National College for DUI Defense, one of the first names that you learn is "Wayne from Maine" and you learn that he has ascended to the level of excellence that you, as a newer lawyer, should strive for. I have had the pleasure of spending nearly a week with Attorney Foote at the most advanced training on blood testing available for DUI attorneys. Having met this attorney, I can say that his reputation was an understatement. Wayne does not understand DUI law, he has mastered the area. His knowledge and insight are invaluable, if you are looking for a DUI attorney, look no more."

"I am very happy to endorse Wayne Foote as a true expert and attorney in DUI defense. In fact, Wayne is a giant of DUI defense on a national scale. The best DUI attorneys in the country go to Wayne when they have a tough issue. What many people facing a DUI don’t know is that there are literally hundreds of attorneys in any given area who will handle their DUI. However, maybe only a handful of these attorneys truly know how to defend these complex scientific cases. If you submitted to a blood test, breath test or even standardized field sobriety tests, then you need an attorney who has years of formal training and experience defending these complex cases. Hiring anyone else is usually a recipe for losing. I have known Wayne for seven years, and I can assure you he is one of those few attorneys who has a complete understanding of the science necessary to challenge these cases successfully.
