I first would like to start off by saying that Max is one of the most amazingly professional and knowledgeable lawyers I have ever had the please of working with! I had a jury trial for a 3rd offense DUI/DWI and was concerned because I had never done a trial before let alone a jury trial. Max’s communication was top tier from the time I retained him to the end of the trial which was about 5 months in between. He really made sure to explain to me every step of the way what we were up against and any updates that came our way. One of the things I really appreciate about Max is that he tells it like it is and even though it is his job, he actually cares about helping people. My case was a sticky one but not once did he ever make me feel ashamed. If you want a lawyer who actually fights for you, Is a shark in the courtroom, and is a knowledgeable expert to no end about his craft, look no further, you’ve found your lawyer! Both criminal DUI charges were dropped and Instead was given a reckless driving ticket. I can’t tell you how blessed I am to have found Frizwoods LLC. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone who wants to be taken seriously in court, and have a shark on their side! Trust Me, you won’t be disappointed !
