Man of His Word

When I contacted Mr. Poehl, as recently as 1 month ago (almost 2 years after my case was deemed inactive), he was more than happy to help. By the end of that very week, as promised, Mr. Poehl had my Interlock Order signed by the Judge and in his hands for me to pick up. He has definitely proved himself to be an attorney that gets things done, and his professionalism and willingness to assist with such a simple matter really made a great impression on me. I would completely recommend attorney Nicholas Poehl to anyone who may be going through the stress, confusion, and uncertainty of a criminal charge.
