I am a lawyer in South Carolina and I received a traffic ticket in Atlanta in December. Mr. Jackie Patterson of your firm was nice enough to represent me for the ticket about two weeks ago and he successfully got it dismissed.

I wanted you to know how pleased I was with his services and the services of your firm. Mr. Patterson is one smart and creative lawyer and I am sure that he will be a great addition to your office.

I would appreciate it if you would pass this email along to him and express my thanks for everything he did to represent me.

Sincerely,

What a relief. It's finally over! Thanks for looking out for me Bubba! Allison, Bubba told me to ask you how/when/where I go to get my driver's license back. Can you help me with that?

Bubba, your staff is amazing. They are extremely detailed, calming, knowledgeable and on top of things. Thanks for all your hard work.

God bless you,

Dear Mr. Head,

Earlier today a year-and-a-half struggle of worry and uncertainty ended within twenty short minutes through the flawless legal defense and guidance of Peter Zeliff. Nearly two years ago I was fraudulently arrested on charges of DUI while sleeping in a vehicle in front of my girlfriend's house after a quarrel. Two Atlanta Police Department officers approached my van and preceded to draw me into numerous
probing questions which eventually led to a series of unorthodox
field sobriety tests.

I was always taught from childhood to trust and fully cooperate with police officers under all circumstances. Well sure, but I simply didn't understand the full scope of my legal rights. Soon after my encounter with the cops I was found in the Atlanta Detention Center and coerced into blowing into an Intoxilyzer machine on the grounds that I'd be freed if I blew under the legal limit. As they say, retrospect is 20/20.

I cannot tell people enough that if they are ever pulled over or approached by police that they should follow your free legal instructions that are found here on the website to the note. Cooperate respectfully but refuse to do any field tests.

Unfortunately I did not know I had such options. And certainly the police didn't phrase the law in a way that it seemed beneficial to me. Everything felt like a threat. It was a scary, scary situation.

Today Mr. Zeliff hit one out of the ballpark so to speak. Trial began and things appeared dire at first. After all, I blew and had dual charges. A DUI for allegedly being too drunk to drive and a per se DUI (for being over 0.08). Beating one seemed possible. But beating both of them seemed more than an upward climb. Mr. Zeliff has been helpful and kind throughout this slow-dragging saga. As I said earlier, we have been to court over the course of a year-and-a-half. We have been through three different judges and a few prosecutors as well during the messy merge of City Court of Atlanta and Atlanta Municipal Court.

Mr. Zeliff patiently sat and listened to prosecutors as they seemed to dig for ideas over my conviction and lead the witness only to be objected by my counsel. Mr. Zeliff took notes over everything that was said. His quick wit and knowledge proved too much for the prosecution team which consisted of four attorneys.

Zeliff's counter examination of the arresting officer uncovered hole after hole into the investigation of my alleged crime. Mr. Zeliff cited supreme court rulings that actually got my per se DUI thrown out! The Intoxilyzer results were found inadmissible! From here all that had to be done was show that the arresting officer used improper techniques in my arrest. This was simple to do once Mr. Zeliff pointed out the officer’s failure to be properly trained in DUI field evaluations and arrests.

Peter Zeliff is a star attorney with knowledge on DUI law far and beyond even the prosecution team I witnessed today. We won!!!

I cannot express the absolute joy and gratitude I feel tonight. For the first time in over a year I can go to sleep tonight without the worry of a DUI on my permanent record.

Thanks Mr. Head,
Send my regards to Peter

Sincerely,
J H

Mr. Head,

Saying "Thank You" doesn't express my appreciation for the understanding and encouragement you have given me. Even though I feel like I'm living in limbo (while the case is pending), I can at least continue on with the volunteer work I do that requires driving a car.

I asked Allison about visiting my mother in Vancouver, WA, as long as I don't receive notice of a court date. She will have the phone number if needed.

Thank you again, so very much.

Dear Mr. Head:

First, I would like to convey my appreciation for the incredible staff at your law offices. In particular, both Allison and Janice have extended both professional courtesy (in responding to questions and concerns) and compassion for the circumstances as you have been working towards a resolution of the case against my son, J. P. All your staff down to the receptionists and others that answer your phones, are both courteous and respectful. Under the particular circumstances, where often people are mistreated due to their transgressions, I have been both impressed and touched by the kindness.

J.P. is scheduled to go to court on the 26th of October and I must decide in the next 24 hours whether to purchase this ticket as he now resides in Houston, Texas. I assume from your correspondence sent since the arraignment that J.P.'s case will not be "dropped" and therefore we will most likely go to trial. Please call or e-mail me at your convenience to discuss.

Thank you and all your staff for the empathy and thoroughness as we move forward.

Kindest Regards,

S. P.

Dear Mr. Head:

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for meeting with me this past Friday. Due to financial reasons, I have decided to proceed with your associate, Peter Zeliff, whom you referred me to.

I also wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I have appreciated the helpfulness of your staff, especially Shelia Estes and Janice Ferguson. From my initial contact with your office, everyone has been very professional and treated me as a human being during my current dilemma.

You will also be happy to hear that I have handed out half of the flyers from the stack you gave me to my friends so you might be getting some referrals in the future.

Sincerely,

J,

Thank you for your note. Our staff at HTW&W is our "secret weapon" because their dedication to our clients cannot be surpassed.

You will be very happy with Peter representing you. I will meet with him to review the important issues that I saw in the case.

Please contact me again if you have questions as you fight your case.

Mr. Head,

I just read some of the articles on your website and now realize that the attorney I have for my case is a complete idiot! I think the man wants a job in the DA's office. When I told him of a very complex medical history, which often mimics drunkeness, and can cause wildly different BAC counts, he merely told me he would discuss it with the STATE'S EXPERT on the Datamaster cdm. I'm no attorney but it certainly seems odd to me that he would speak with a state expert versus my own physicians and experts for the defense! I have contacted Mr. Slone in Anchorage, whom I found at the website, and pray he will take this odd case.

I just wanted to thank you for providing me with such good information in your articles. They will prove useful, I am sure.

THANK GOD!

Losing at trial with a FIGHTING lawyer is no shame. Losing with a sycophantic slacker who seems Hell-bent on disclosing your very defense to the opposition is CRIMINAL!

I am so thankful that you decided to look for a “second opinion”. Fred is a seasoned fighter with all the tools to assist you.

Dear Mr. Head,

Both my wife and I feel a tremendous amount of gratitude towards you and your entire staff, not only because of your expertise, hard work, and the favorable resolution of the case, but also because of the professional and reassuring manner exhibited by yourself and everyone in your firm. I always felt better after speaking with you, and again, I thank you for that.

Additionally, I hope that you might pass my thanks to Betty Brooks (Private Investigator), for her work on the case, as well as to Allison for her patience and exceptional warmth.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Head

My name is K. B. H., who is a potential new client for you. I was referred to you by Mr. D.P.E. I am in the process of completing your questionnaire and will have it done by tomorrow.

The reason for my e-mail tonight, is to express my heartfelt appreciation for your assistant, Janice Ferguson she is simply wonderful. I spoke with Janice today about my pending case and about your process, and to say the least, I am very impressed. In spite of the severity of this matter, Janice made me feel like a human being with dignity. In short, she really cares about her clients.

For your support and guidance, and for having such a professional staff, I express my heartfelt gratitude to you, Sir.

Warm Regards,
K. B. H.

Thank you for your letter about Janice. Yes, she does REALLY care about our clients and that they be treated with the utmost respect and dignity. For most clients, the experience of being arrested, cuffed and treated like a terrorist by the jailers is dehumanizing. Our job is to exact a measure of "justice" to offset that horrible experience.

Thank you for considering our firm during this trying time.

Thank you for posting this website so prominently. I have been caught in this scam, but from the international side. I am now stuck in Japan with one of these fraudulent "licences", having now driven illegally in Japan for nearly a year thinking I had a legitimate "International Drivers Permit". Luckily, I have not run into any legal problems here, but now cannot drive until I can get my Japanese licence.

The US State Department has very little information on this scam. They do not warn citizens about this fraud. I have complained to Senator Murray to see if her staff can take some action against the State Department. But for now, your warning that comes up so vividly on an internet search is the best line of defense we have. I realize that your concern was for the misuse of these in drunk driving and loss-of-licence situations, you are also helping with the legitimate international permit situation. Thanks for your foresight.

J. M.

Mr. Head,

I attended your DUI CLE earlier in the year, and received your excellent book. Just thought I would thank you for the wonderful work you have done for DUI defense.

I just completed my first trial (DUI less safe), and my client was acquitted. The State had two officers testify how drunk my client was. I crossed the arresting officer using many of your 'sample' questions in the book. The officer didn't know what hit him. The jurors talked to me afterwards and told me that the officer's testimony and credibility was the convincing factor in my trial.

I just wanted to thank you for putting out such a great reference, and look forward to using it again.

Ryan,

News of your success, and any part that I played in it (via my book), is happily received. I am pleased to have been a contributing factor.

You public defenders often get little help (in the form of expert witnesses) and despite financial support from the State, you manage to do a great job for your clients.

Keep fighting the battle, against all odds.

Wanted to take a moment to express both our thanks for your representation and outcome regarding Bryan's DUI case. It was a pleasure to watch, and learn as you worked toward the positive outcome. It was also good just to get to know you.

Bryan has decided not to go skiing next week so he can get going on the community service obligation. He wants to have the probation period dropped asap so he can re-apply to (XYZ police department). He will contact you if there is an issue after he has met all the criteria.

If we hear of anyone in this situation, rest assured we will steer them in your direction.

Our sincerest thanks.

Doug,

I greatly appreciate your praise of my work. I also thank you for giving me the latitude to deal with this difficult set of facts, and trusting my experience in dealing with officers from this police department (and the solicitor). My investigator's efforts to "discuss" (with the arresting officer) the need for Bryan to be able to pursue his career goals as a police officer were extremely valuable, and helped us move toward this good result.

Good luck on your job relocation to Boston. I wish you luck living up North!

Best Regards,

Bubba

I'm not sure if you will remember me. A few years ago, I wrote you a letter concerning my husband's DUI case. You so kindly wrote me back stating you could not help me (due to the fact that you were in Georgia and his case was pending in Illinois). But, you did refer me to an excellent attorney (Juliet Boyd of Stephen Komie's office) and expert witness (Mary McMurray) for the case.

I just wanted to take this moment to thank you for your time and giving us these two names.

After 5 long, exhausting years, the trial finally came. Due to the great work of Juliet and Mary and my husband's physician, my husband was found NOT GUILTY. I still can't believe it is finally over and we can go on with our lives. But, before we do, I just had to write you and THANK YOU again.

I hope you know how grateful we are to you for taking the time before and answering my letter. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know.

Thank you again,

A. H.

Dear Mr. Head,

Thank you for the very aggressive and professional representation of my license suspension hearing tonight in court. I must tell you that tonight will be the first restful night of sleep I will have since my incident. Win or lose on the suspension question I feel we scored some major points in the testimony and the cross exam of the police officer. If the Judge rules for the suspension he was not listening to the testimony of the officer involved and your closing statements.

I came home and told my wife I wish she was there and I almost stayed to hear the other two cases you had to represent. I hope they went as well as I think mine did. I talked with both parties briefly and we all agreed you were "very good" in the courtroom. Thanks again, and I look forward to working with Lee and getting this all behind me.

Best Regards,

Thank you for your praise. I enjoyed emasculating Sgt. R, who has aggravated me by his Nazi behavior many times in the past. I believe the hearing went very well. I have left a note for Lee to get the transcript.

The court reporter told me that she was convinced. She and I did not leave until 10:30 PM!

Good luck to you on your case.

Off to court again!

Dear Mr. Head,

I am sure it is difficult to remember all the cases you are involved in so I am replying via a previous e-mail I had sent to you in regards to your representation of me at my license suspension hearing. I felt that night that your cross-exam of Sgt. R scored a lot of points for my case that would come out at trial, and that is exactly what transpired today at my Bench Trial. We won the case and have a "not guilty" verdict. Lee Webb did an outstanding job in the courtroom today and picked up right where you left off in picking apart Sgt. R's testimony and making him look rather foolish in his contradictions. Mr. Webb handled himself very professionally and I sincerely thank him for his aggressive defense of my case.

Your entire office staff was VERY professional, starting with Sheila Estes, who was so very accommodating and nice to me when I first contacted your office. Everyone was very professional, and that means a great deal when someone is going through a very difficult and embarrassing period of his life.

Thanks again to all of you!!
