I couldn't be happier with Brandon and the work he put into my case! From the very moment I texted their number on Christmas Eve, which he responded to within MAYBE an hour, the whole staff went to work to make sure any questions or concerns were addressed and that I knew at all times what was happening and going to happen with my case.

My case was not winnable (2nd DUI with a BAC of .208, and plenty of probable cause to pull me over that night), but I don't believe anyone else could have accomplished the deal that Brandon got for me! My charge was reduced to a DUI 1st and, instead of the 45 day minimum sentence that comes with a 2nd DUI, I am doing 15 days at the DUI Education Centers (MUCH better than county jail)!

If you are reading this, you probably need an attorney. Do yourself a favor and forget about the cheap $1500 attorneys that will treat you like just another paycheck, who are bogged down by taking as many cases as possible, and call Barnes & Fersten now! You will pay more than those cheap attorneys, but you will have an entire team in your corner to fight for an outcome you didn't believe possible. They genuinely care not only about the outcome of your case, but they care about YOU as well.

They also have payment plans to help for those who can't afford the entire amount at once. They are worth EVERY penny!

Extremely responsive, professional, and got case dismissed. Could not be more pleased with the outcome. Eased the stress and guided us step-by-step through the entire process. I highly recommend.
