I was referred to Dan Hynes from a friend. I was very impressed with the time he spent with me going over everything to prepare for trial and letting me know about everything that could happen. Even though I lost my license for refusing the breath test, he recommended having the hearing so we could question the officer. Another lawyer I spoke to before Dan said the hearings were a waste of time and recommended not having it.

I called them on 6/20/25 via a google search. I talked to Steve KARELS. We chatted briefly regarding my first DUI offense case. He suggested paid the NH fines, plead guilty. He stated NH DMV won't suspend my license for first offense DUI. His retainer fee was outrageous $6,000.00 USD which was extremely pricey. He didn't give me very professional legal services which I decided go with another DUI attorney which I won my case as a dismissal. Stay away from this law firm.

I had an excellent experience working with Attorney Karels. From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and truly cared about my case. They took the time to listen, explain every step clearly, and made sure I understood my options. Their knowledge and confidence gave me peace of mind during a stressful time, and I always felt that I was in good hands. What stood out most was their dedication and genuine concern for my best outcome, not just the legal process. Choosing Attorney Karels was one of the best decisions I could have made, and I am grateful for the positive results they helped me achieve.
