I was pulled over and charged with DWI in April 2018. I found Mr. Tillotson by doing a search for top DUI Lawyers in Richmond. He came up even though he was in Newport News. I called his office and spoke with him about my case and decided to retain him for my case. Not knowing what to expect and feeling like my life was over and there was no way to get out of this charge, he made me feel better with his knowledge of different aspects of DUI charges. He will go through your case bit by bit and look at everything. The morning we went to court, he spoke with the prosecutor, who didn't seem like he was willing to budge. Mr. Tillotson was very persistent with the prosecutor and the arresting officer on the evidence he had to prove that the officer exaggerated in his report as well as the fact that I was on a low carb diet, which can affect your BAC. He was able to get them to agree to reduce the charge down to a Reckless Driving charge with a restricted license for 6 months, which is much better than what I would have received if convicted of a DUI/DWI. I can not recommend a better lawyer for DUI/DWI charges. He is well worth the money spent.

I never leave bad reviews and in fact, this is the first one I’ve ever drafted and submitted anywhere but I feel compelled to warn others about Mike Tillotson and let them know of my very bad experience doing business with this attorney - Mike Tillotson. He is a good talker but in the end, I was out over $8,000 and he was unable to help me with a first conviction. I trusted him and stayed loyal to the end to my own detriment when I should have trusted my gut and jumped ship and got another attorney who would have actually went to bat for me. Lesson learned. If your intuition is telling you this man is a snake or a shark and not to be trusted, do yourself a favor and don’t keep giving money to this person expecting this person to fight for you. My life is ruined over trusting this man’s flowery words that he would fight for me and help me and he did absolutely nothing but make excuses and pitch his book. Please do not waste your money. This man is a good talker and loves to brag about his empty accomplishments but he will take your money with no remorse and make promises he can not keep. He simply is lacking in moral character and I am not saying this simply because he did not help me. I am saying this to caution others not to be so naive like I was. Take Heed!

I cannot stress enough that your search for a lawyer ends right here! Mr. Martin was amazing. Very professional, personable, informative and just down right a great guy! What seemed all doom and gloom with the possibility of this case being life altering, we could not have asked for a better outcome. His understanding and compassion was genuine and I thoroughly believe had it been a different lawyer, the outcome would not have been as miraculous as it was!!! I will FOREVER refer anyone I know to this firm with the certainty that their case will be handled as well as ours was and the outcome you pray for!! Mr. Martin, I cannot thank you enough for the peace of mind and joy you brought to us. God bless you and keep doing what you do because my friend, YOU RULE IT!!!!!

As a past client, I can recommend Jeff Martin as an outstanding attorney who goes out of his way for his clients. His full understanding of the laws, court systems, and other circumstances gives him the edge to help his clients achieve the best possible outcome. Together with his staff you can expect to receive prompt actions in your best interests. -Jon B.

Mr. Tillotson helped me TREMENDOUSLY. Quickly put.....He was able to drop my 2nd offense DUI and refusal charge, He worked the court room like a complete professional and it was truly something amazing to experience. I was not expecting to walk out of court with the results I received and IT WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN DONE IF I DID NOT HIRE MICHAEL TILLOTSON! He found so many issues in the police report and we did not even have to fight it because shortly put, Mr. Tillotson is the BEST OUT THERE! Thank you so much for all you have done for me, Mr. Tillotson. You truly saved me, during a time I was at my lowest.

Mike Tillotson stands out as one of the outstanding DWI lawyers, not only in Virginia but nationwide. I have had many opportunities to learn with Mike at national seminars and from him when he sponsored seminars on Virginia's breath test machine. If you have a DWI in Virginia, you need to consider hiring Mike and his firm. I recommend him to anyone who contacts me about a DWI issue in Eastern Virginia
