When my 18 year old daughter received a DUI I was devastated. She had never been in trouble before, I had no knowledge of the law and did not know where to turn. While I was heartbroken at her bad choice I did not want it to destroy her future. I called and spoke with numerous attorneys and was fortunate enough to find Nigel Witham. He was extremely helpful and informative, even prior to being retained. Upon hiring him as her attorney he did absolutely everything he had promised to do! He knew the system and always kept us informed and aware of what to expect. He was an absolute professional and always reachable. He appeared on my daughter's behalf twice before she had to personally appear. He took all the appropriate steps to allow her the least possible punishment by law given her set of circumstances. At her sentencing court appearance he was compassionate, professional and effective. When we were instructed to pay a fine he stayed with us and allowed us the courtesy of a much shorter line designated only for counsel. My husband witnessed another attorney pointing his client in the direction of the much longer line for the general public.
My daughter was given a date to appear for "progress" one month after her sentencing for which Mr. Witham volunteered to once again appear on her behalf without her attendance.
This has definitely been one of the worst experiences of my life, made bearable by an honest, knowledgeable and professional attorney. I cannot say enough good about Nigel Witham. I know for a fact things would have gone worse for my daughter in her sentencing without him and definitely worse for me during the agonizing four months from her violation date to her court date. If you are in need of an attorney for a DUI, my heart goes out to you and I highly recommend Nigel Witham to get you through it.
