Have To Say
I had a DUI recently. I have never had a problem with the law as serious as this one. I did panic a bit after and knew I had to get a lawyer and a good one to help protect my future. I researched the Web and read the reviews for a few awesome DUI Lawyers. Hiring a lawyer can be intimidating so I made a few phone calls and ultimately went with Tom Anelli. I worked with Evan Naylor the entire time. He was compassionate, so professional, proactive, empathetic, communicative - and he had great results. Mr. Naylor is commanding and trustworthy, with a deep understanding of the laws - he will help you through your troubles with his caring nature and working relationships with local police. You’ll feel safe with your case in their hands for sure.
While the entire Anelli firm was superb, the absolute reason behind this review is Atty. Joseph Martinez. From inception, he was extremely competent..and my bar is high. He was quick to respond to so many varied concerns through the entire process & my case was resolved very satisfactorily with me feeling that he truly cares about me as a human. This has easily been one of the most stressful periods in my life and Atty. Martinez absolutely lessened the impact on me personally. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm and Joe personally. Thank you all.
Evan Naylor and Connor Hakan represented me for my case and did a phenomenal job! I couldn’t have asked for better representation or a better result. I would recommend both to anyone I care about. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and the firm. Thank you!!
I had the pleasure of working with Connor Hakan recently. He represented me in my court case. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for legal representation.
