Full Profile →"Charged with OWI and panicking. Mitnick & Draper picked up at 11pm, walked me through everything, and got the charge reduced to reckless driving. Kept my license."
"Best decision I made was calling them first. They know the Milwaukee court system inside and out. My case was dismissed before it ever went to trial."
"John Draper handled my custody case with professionalism and real care. He kept me informed every step and fought hard for my kids. Couldn't ask for more."
"I never thought my old drug charge could come off my record. They walked me through expungement step by step and the court granted it. That weight is finally gone."
"I was arrested close to midnight and terrified. I called the number on their site expecting voicemail — someone picked up, calmed me down, and told me exactly what to do. True 24/7."
