Tom was excellent. Everybody makes mistakes but from the reviews I found online I knew he was the one to call. He immediately picked up explained everything and always called me back. The outcome of my case, 1st dui, reduced to reckless driving, a fine, no probation and I got to keep my license. I highly recommend Tom Barton!!!
