Will Zevely did an outstanding job! He was very knowledgeable and helped explain my options to me with my case. I felt very comfortable from the first meeting with him. He reviewed my case and was able to let me know what to expect during the entire process. He always asked me if there was any questions I had throughout, which made me feel comfortable. His experience and professionalism was second to none. I recommend him for any legal needs.
I found myself in a horrible situation certain that I was going to land myself some time in jail. Then I hired Wil zevely and he handled it perfectly. I didn’t see 1 day behind bars. I made a great decision hiring wil! Thank you!
Mr. Zevely is a terrific lawyer. Mr Zevely was able to explain the severity of my situation without sugarcoating it. I was facing a second offence DUI, aggravated. I was guilty. I lost my 6 figure employment due to the DUI, I was a pharmaceutical sales manager. Mr. Zevely was able to get me an interlock device and license so I could look for employment. We pushed back the court date so I could find a job and pass the background checks before pleading guilty. I was able to find great new employment. Mr Zevely arranged terms with the prosecution. He was honest about possible outcomes. The judge was more lenient than we could predicted. My sentence was 45 days with GPS monitoring, I can go anywhere. I just need to tell them when I'm staying somewhere other than home. I need to charge it for 2 hours a day(a pain) but no jail. I have stopped drinking. I am able to attend my nieces wedding out of state this weekend. I am able to work and live. Mr Zevely saved my future. Thank you Mr Zevely.
