Mr Tomzak put me on the scram bracelet and changed my life. I was supposed to do four years. He held in there for me and he got me my credit for time served on house arrest. I highly recommend this law group for DUIs. They have proven to be a very successful team.

I dont know about all these one star cry babies on here I had nothing but a great experience all the way around hiring this law firm. They showed me nothing but respect, kindness and professionalism from the jump the secretaries to the lawyer's. They also never beat around the Bush with any part of my case they always made sure I knew what was going on and what would most likely happen next.
