Aaron is the top lawyer to work with for DUI cases. After several consultations with other…read moreattorneys, he was the only one who made me feel that there was a chance for a great outcome on my end. And a great outcome it was! My DUI was reduced to a wet reckless. Also important to me though was keeping my license and Aaron was able to win my hearing case so that I did not have to get an SRT 22 (high risk insurance document) nor did I have to get an install to start my vehicle (both of which are costly!) Aaron is great to work with and I highly recommend!

I was searching for legal representation for a traffic infraction case in Santa Rosa Superior…read morecourt. Of the half dozen or so attorneys I reached out to, Julia was one of only two to respond. Even though the case (small potatoes) and the location is not within her geographic area or practice area, Julia went above and beyond to assist me with recommendations and referrals. This kind of concern and follow through is exactly the kind of qualities I believe are essential for effective Legal professionals to exhibit.

This will be the first time ever I've taken the time to write an online review. Julia was a Godsend…read moreand I give her permission to provide my phone number to anyone considering her services so I can tell you more. Short Story: Julia gave me great advice, explained everything clearly and concisely, proactively kept me informed, gave me shortcuts whenever possible and DIDN'T CHARGE ME a CENT! I told her I was happy to pay her, but she refused. I hope I never have to hire her, but if I, or anyone I know needs a criminal defense attorney I will hire her. I've been both providing and using professional services business for 20 years and never had such a positive experience. My story: I was arrested for a first time DUI even though I blew .06 twice the breathalizer. As a first-timer I was completely ignorant about the process. I had some pills in my purse that the CHP thought were illegal, even though the Drug Recognition Expert confirmed they were nothing. CHP arrrested me for DUI - alcohol and drugs, child endangerment because my 14 year old son was in the car and posession of dangerous drugs, which is a felony. I spent the night in jail trying to stay warm and sleep on a concrete floor while sober. Not fun. I spoke to 8 other attorneys before Julia all of whom scared the sh-- out of me. Each of them pressured me to hire them and pay a non-refundable fee ($2,500-$3,500) before the 10 day DMV request for a hearing date. I heard everything from "don't call the DMV yourself", to "child protective services could get involved", to "stop talking to anyone else", to "you should hire me before they press charges because I can influence the DA", to :this is complicated and defintely could end up in court," to "best case would be reduce felony to misdemeaor" and much more. Finally I spoke to Julia. She said the case was absolutely ridiculous, I don't need an attorney and they will probably drop the case. She checked with the DA to see if charges were filed, clearly explained the way Marin County evaluates these kinds of cases and -- without promising anything -- she immediately put me at ease. She gave me the back door number to the DMV, told me to call and request a hearing myself and told me exactly what to request (meeting far away and in person) just in case I was charged. She gave me a timeframe to expect an answer from the DA and told me to call her in a few days. Before I had a chance to call, she PROACTIVELY followed up with ME!!! Yes, gasp! Charges had not been filed, she just wanted me to know. As soon as she found out the DA didn't charge, SHE CALLED ME again to tell me the news. But wait, there's more. The DMV hearing was still looming and I had no idea how they would call it. She gave me the back door number and instructions to call records department, and I found out my blood was .03% and I blew .06% TWICE! The DMV told me unless it was .08% it would be dropped. Everything was dropped and I am home free. Nuff said.

I was passed down the chain, from paralegal to an assistant to paralegals, to assistant to assistant, after 5 to six passes, ended up with who knows what. I could not even gain access to the paralegal or the assistant. When my case was finally heard at the court 7 months later, my supposed assigned attorney did not even bother to show up while the officer showed up. The result was obvious. They (not sure who) pleaded no contest to all counts! So I got a result that was no different from if I had done nothing and definitely worse if I had represented myself. They put a bunch of attorneys' pictures on their website, but good luck if your case is handled personally by an assistant to a paralegal. Never mind talking to an attorney. I don't know how they get their high scores, but then, it is evident they are excellent marketers with only growing the practice at all costs as the goal, truly fit the stereotypical lawyers.
