When a 10 year old felony arrest warrant surprisingly appeared on a live scan background check, fear immediately crept in. I was referred by a friend to John Underwood Law. From the start they released me of my fear and walked me through how my case was going to be approached. Every step that John laid out was executed as he explained. He said his goal was to get complete dismissal. I was not so sure this promise would be kept being that I had indeed confessed to the felony crime. But he was true to his word. I didn’t even have to show up to court. My case was completely dismissed. Nothing on my record. I also want to add that I have been arrested in the past so him promising dismissal for a convicted felon was not realistic from my perspective. But HE DID IT!!! I’m forever grateful to Underwood Law. Although I hope to never need legal representation ever again, but should the need arise, John will be the only person I will ever call!! Or recommend to anyone in need.
This Law Firm provided excellent service. I'm a CDL holder, maintaining a clean driving record for us truckers is nearly impossible. So when i received a citation for being in the left lane while passing another commercial vehicle, I knew I had to seek representation soon. I am so glad I chose Underwood Law Firm, They went to work immediately. The communication was excellent, they kept me informed though out the entire process. Price was reasonable. Very happy with the outcome.
I had a complicated DUI case that was mishandled by a previous attorney, but John Underwood stepped in and completely turned things around. From the very beginning, he was clear, professional, and supportive. He took the time to explain every step of the process and made sure I understood my options along the way. His dedication and thorough approach gave me confidence during a stressful time, and he stayed involved until my case was fully resolved. I truly appreciate his hard work and professionalism, and I would absolutely recommend John Underwood to my friends and family.
I love Underwood Law Firm! They helped me get my driver license back, and fought for my rights. They resolved my 2 year long issue in just a few months. It feels amazing to be able to be free again. Kari resolved my case. Everyone at Underwood is highly qualified and I know I can rely on them.
