"We won trial!! jury came back with not guilty on my duii. Chris trotter is such a great lawyer i am so lucky that i had him defending me. He fought for me the whole way from the dmv hearing and through trial! he was extremely good at coming up with arguments on the spot. He is definitely very gifted! And a rockstar in trial! This trial was 2 full days and had alot of moving parts. Chris was truly invested in winning and really cared about what happened. he actually fights and fights good. he ran circles around the prosecutor It was great. He hungout with me while jury was in deliberation cause he new it was one of the worst parts. this was extremely important for me to beat cause i have a cdl and the consequences are extremely severe. But thanks to chris we won and i was acquitted. I know how hard it is to fined a good lawyer and i rely on reviews. hopefully this helps someone i definitely recommend chris trotter you will not be disappointed."

"thorough, easy going and saved my moms ass. open to hearing the evidence to prove innocence! very easy to work with, professional, office was nice and staff was easy going. Janine was phenomenal. And he got us off with no judgement and her case completely dismissed. I’d definitely recommend! 5/5, i’d give you a 10 if i could."
