Tom’s excellent representation has allowed me the opportunity to move on from this experience and learn from my serious mistake.

I was charged with a high-tier OVI after I failed field sobriety tests and consented to a breathalyzer, blowing a .201. As a VP of Sales, my career hinges on the ability to drive and represent myself and my company in a positive and professional manner. The penalties of a high-tier OVI conviction include a mandatory minimum one-year license suspension with yellow restricted plates and a minimum of six days in jail, all of which would be crushing to me both professionally and personally. Needless to say, I was devastated, embarrassed, and feeling hopeless when I contacted Tom DiCaudo. Tom was straightforward about all aspects of my case going in. I learned that I had a fairly tough judge who isn’t known for leniency in these matters, and that the evidence against me was relatively sound. Tom never made promises or provided false hope, but he kept things positive and continued to work towards a favorable outcome. I appreciated his honesty and ability to be realistic about things without it ever coming across as negative. On the day of my suppression hearing, Tom spoke to the arresting officer, prosecutor and judge, and convinced them all to agree to a reduced charge of Physical Control. This enabled me to avoid an OVI conviction on my record, as well as eliminate the public shame and professional suicide of having “party plates.” I still received a license suspension with restricted driving privileges and will attend a six-day Driver Intervention Program, but that is all well worth the compromise that Tom was able to negotiate on my behalf. Tom’s excellent representation has allowed me the opportunity to move on from this experience and learn from my serious mistake. For that, I cannot thank him enough. Tom went above and beyond what I expected and helped me through this entire unnerving process in a professional, yet compassionate way. If you are facing an OVI charge and need legal representation, Tom DiCaudo has the experience, dedication, and proven track record of success to be your only choice. As an ending note, when my case was coming to a close, the prosecutor pulled me aside and said, “You should tip him on whatever he charged you – Tom did a really great job for you on this.”
