I met Lance last year after I was arrested for a domestic violence charge. It was a scary situation to be in. When I met Lance for the first time, he was kind and compassionate, and reassuring. He kept in communication with me, promptly responded, and was able to get a dismissal of my case. After an emotionally draining time, I am happy that I chose to hire Lance for representation. He is a lifesaver.

Lance is a great guy. I have hired him for his help in three different cases dating back to 2012. In my most recent case this past year, he hit a home run in the courtroom and had my DUI case dismissed. I can't explain what a great day that was for me. Worth every penny, Lance will definitely be my first call if I ever wind up in trouble again

Lance Fletcher was a huge help in a DUI case that I went through a few years back. The charge was for a DUI misdemeanor that was reduced to an DWAI through Lance's efforts. Beyond that though, he was a source of confidence and clarity for me and my family during an extremely difficult time. He clearly outlined the details of the case, and was honest about the challenges and options that were available to me. He was extremely communicative and available for my questions throughout and even after the case was resolved. I couldn't recommend Lance more highly and am completely grateful to him.

I liked his approach to defense as to secured his services. His knowledge and experience of the law made all the difference in the outcome of my case. Thanks Lance Fletcher and I highly recommend his services to anyone needing a attorney.

I hired Lance last year for a DUI case and he had it dropped and sealed. He even saved my license from a suspension after I had a refusal. He's really great to work with and tells you the truth and what to expect. I would suggest hiring him right away.

I have hired Mr. Fletcher two times. I was charged with public lewdness in two different occasions, in the first one he was able to reduced it from a misdemeanor to a violation and in the second occasion he found a mistake done by the prosecutor and the case was dismissed. He is really thorough with your case and he really fight for you. Very professional and well-prepare but at the same time he creates and environment of trust and peace. Since day one he makes you feel protected and whatever he tells you it might happen on the court day that is exactly what happen. I do not hesitate to recommend him, 100%. You will be able to sleep better and go through one of the most stressing and frightening moment a person can have in the life.

I was being charged with two Class A misdemeanors and a violation. Which in turn translates to a maximum of two years in prison along with a heavy fee's for the violation charge. I knew this was serious, so I contacted several lawyers for consultations. Majority of the lawyers attempted to scare me into hiring them. I'm thankful that I didn't sign off and I waited. After meeting Lance I realized that he was the attorney that I needed to hire. Lance never scared me into hiring him and explained the situation I found myself in. He did this in a demeanor that permited me to comprehend everything without frightening me. Furthermore as a former prosecutor turn defence lawyer I feel that his experience has granted hjm a better understanding of what's going on. While I was waiting for my court date I was worried about the possibility of being thrown into The Tombs or Rikers Island. This thought consistently emerged in my head - However whenever I spoke with Lance he has this calming presence about him. I would stop thinking about this possibly. Fast forward to my court date their was a plea deal for Disorderly Conduct along with Anger Management classes. I found it to be acceptable and I took it. I will NEVER find myself in legal trouble EVER AGAIN but if anyone I know finds themselves in legal trouble I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lance Fletcher.

Mr. Fletcher got me out of a huge mess. I was facing a felony for criminal impersonation. It’s all gone. He told me “don’t worry I got this“. He handles everything. I mean everything. He is your man and he won’t let you down.
