One of my greatest decisions ever. I am a first time offender. DUI. Was practically guaranteed 1 year suspension due to me denying a breathalyzer and then having the cops obtain a warrant for a blood draw. My attorney (Asher) of HLaw did an amazing job going back and forth with the courts. After months and months she finally got them to lower my charge to a Wet and Reckless! Words cannot express how grateful I am to her. She was always there for questions or concerns. A great deal of peace of a mind.
