What My Clients Have To Say:
"Unfortunately, my 4th of July weekend ended with a DUI. During my initial consultation with Brad, I felt extremely confident in his ability to fully protect my interests. I am very happy with my decision to hire him. He kept me well informed during the whole process, and was diligent in his practice. Thanks to Brad’s courtroom assertiveness and proactive approach to my case, our motion to suppress all evidence resulted in a DUI dismissal. I appreciate his service, and highly recommend him to others with similar circumstances. "

"After I was arrested for DUI with a BAC of 0.23, I felt a lot of guilt, shame, and remorse. I was also about to get a lifelong record that would cost a lot now and seriously disrupt my work and my future. I decided taking personal responsibility for this didn't mean letting the State decide my future, and so I searched for the best lawyer I could find who specialized in DUI's in Vermont, who would fight for me and who I could trust with the whole truth and with my families future. Choosing Bradley Myerson was one of the best decisions of my life. He examined every inch of my case for legal possibilities, challenged in court and won a suppression of the breath evidence, and then he negotiated a much reduced penalty that I can manage and live with. I feel that my family was given a second chance, thanks to Bradley Myerson."
—From a Lebanon, New Hampshire Client
"After a family wedding celebration I was arrested for a DUI. We hired Bradley Myerson who immediately went to work… and quickly developed a brilliant defense strategy that… was extremely well thought out, and backed up with numerous successful case histories. (on) The day of the Hearing… after less than twenty minutes the Judge ruled in our favor, the case was closed! This verdict spared me and my family from an embarrassing and expensive experience… I would highly recommend retaining Bradley Myerson for your defense attorney."
