I dont usually leave reviews. I dont usually even take reviews that serious. Let me tell you that these guys did a hell of a job. Straight up got my 2nd Dui case dropped when I couldve went to jail or paid so much money out of pocket. Dui Lawyer / Dui Attorney or whatever in Downtown Los Angeles that actually cares and will get your case dismissed.
