Matt, GOD Bless

Matt was the ultimate professional. I would recommend him. He kept me informed on all that was going on at all times. He filled me in on how everything was going to take place, and what my options were at all times. I am not from Maine and not only did he keep me updated on what to expect in Maine, but also what to expect in my home state. He arranged it so I did not have to appear at my first hearing. The bottom line is that while I pleaded guilty, it was to the lesser charge of driving to endanger and not D.U.I.

QUESTION: How will my car get fixed?

ANSWER: If the other driver is at fault for your accident, the other insurance company is responsible for the damage to your car. Can I get a rental car while my car is being repaired? Yes. Maine law provides that the insurance company for the person that hit you must pay your rental for a period of up to 45 days or until your car is repaired and you are paid for your car, whichever comes first.

The ONLY firm to hire when facing an OUI charge

Attorney Nichols and his Legal Assistant, Joanne, are consummate professionals and advocates for their clients. From the initial consultation onward I was impressed with Matt’s thoroughness and proactive approach for dealing with the charge. Throughout the process of the criminal procedure Matt and Joanne were always quick to reply with straightforward answers in a non-judgmental way. Attorney Nichols is exceptionally well versed and knowledgeable with respect to all matters DUI related: His reputation as a top-level criminal defense attorney is well deserved and earned with over 25 years defending clients.

Matt has a knack for communicating effectively and efficiently with the local District Attorney’s office which proved vital in significantly reducing the punitive portion of my charge. I would highly recommend the services of Matt and his firm should you ever be in the unfortunate situation of facing a criminal charge of OUI.

QUESTION: Can I harm my case by talking to the insurance company on my own?

ANSWER: Definitely. More harm is done to the client’s cases by trying to deal with the insurance company on your own. For example, the insurance company will take a statement from you and that statement will be used against you later. Insurance companies are pretty smooth when it comes to asking questions, and they know how to entrap people even when you don’t think you’re being entrapped.
