I dealt with Kirkpatrick years ago when I received my DUI's and he did a great job, but years later when I was ready to fight getting my license back, Kirkpatrick recommended me to Mike Dungan. Mike was awesome. I couldn't have asked for a easier process. I did the couple things that I had to do, and he did the rest. He made my case look so good I got my licenses back ON THE FIRST TRY. Just like that. I stressed it so much but he made it so easy. My family and I thank you so much.
