From the very first moment I contacted the office, Joelle the attorney assistant was very helpful in explaining the process. During the whole process Kari and her husband John will keep me posted with all updates on my case and take their time in explaining the process and presenting all my options. I must say I am a very detailed person who asks a lot of questions. The team was always there attending to my questions and making sure I am comfortable with my decision. Kari and John helped me lower my speed ticket 100+ from $2500 to $889 and from 2 points with 30 days suspension to 1 point with no

John and Kari were incredible when it came with dealing with my case. I cannot stress it enough on how grateful I am for them. They were very transparent, articulate, communicative, and professional when it came to discussing my situation. I was very nervous and anxious when I first came to them as it was my first time with dealing with the law, but looking back now, I'm glad they were able to help me through these turbulent times. I would definitely recommend them, they gave me this sense of ease from the beginning til end!

I found myself distressed - in a less than ideal situation. Scared, and unsure of how to go about everything, John and Kari were my backbone and sense of reassurance from the moment I met them. I came to them on a Thursday, needing 2 warrants cleared from my DUI as fast as possible. Even during a pandemic, with the courts mostly closed, and shortened hours, they were able to have both warrants recalled by Monday morning!
Because of their swift action, I was able to pass a background check for a new job. I am extremely luck to have found them, and highly recommend them to everyone.

The night before my trial, I started panicking about my mandatory appearance for a speeding ticket. I noticed Underwood Law Firm has a free consultation, so I gave it a shot. He was willing to give very useful advice over the phone and was very down to earth. Even though my appearance was the next morning, he was willing to move around his schedule to help me out. I am very appreciative of his assistance in one of the most stressful times I've been in. My charges were reduced to a non point violation in the end. Highly recommended!
