Client faced a 2nd offense DUI. When having difficulty sleeping, client went out spotlighting for deer when he was stopped by the police. He was stopped for crossing lane lines. Thankfully, we were able to get involved with the case and obtained a copy of the police officer's dash camera video. The video did not show that our client's driving was anything more than minimal deviations from his lane of travel.

If you are ever in the unfortunate position of needing an attorney, look no further than Shawn Dorward. He will treat you with respect and be honest in regards to what the next steps are, and what to expect. He is an attorney that will fight for you, and do everything in his power to mitigate the damage as best as possible. I hope I won't need his services, but if you do, you won't regret it !

Shawn was amazing. He was extremely informative, sharp and patient. He listened to all the many questions I had and answered every single one with diligence. I would recommend Shawn to anyone. Many in this industry are out to just make a quick buck but I felt Shawn actually cared, which meant a lot. In the end he got my charges rightfully dismissed. Thank you.

Highly recommend working with Shawn on any criminal charges you may be faced with. You will not regret hiring him to represent you or any loved one in hard times. Easy communication with both him and his wife leading up to my court date. Wonderful representation during the short court session that transpired and he was able to work with the court in my favor. Happy with the outcome and the chance to meet Shawn!
