I thought this would not happen to me-but it did. I was stopped by the CHP on a Saturday night in which I had no idea why he stopped me. The officer told me he stopped me because I had crossed a over a solid white line. Right away he asked me if had been drinking that evening. I told him I had. He asked me to step out of the car and proceeded to give me the tests that the police give you if they think you have been drinking and driving. After administrating to me the tests the officer arrested me and I was taken to Santa Rita Jail. The next day I was looking for an attorney who speicalzed in DUI law. Let me tell you starting from scratch and trying to find a excellent attorney to represent you is not easy. I received a number of advertisments in the mail from DUI attorneys who would represent me in this matter. I also researched a number of attorneys on line and narrowed my choice to three attorneys that I wanted to talk to. When I first talked to Lynn she told me she hoped that I did not need her services - because at that\ point I had not been charged with anything. She told me that I could go to court on my own to my first hearing date and tell the judge that I am searching for an attorney to represent me. She did not need to be involved at that point. About a couple of weeks later things started to get serious as I was charged with drivng a car with a blood alcohol count in excess of .08. After being charged I immediately wanted to meet with Lynn. This was the first time in my life that I was involved with the criminal justice system. This was not a traffic ticket. I was being charged with a criminal offense. After meeting with Lynn I knew that this was the attorney I needed to represent me in this matter. She immediately went to work and through the discovery process requesting the information that the police had in their possession regarding my case. After receiving the information, Lynn reviewed the video that the CHP made during my stop. Lynn felt the DUI charges should have not been filed against me in the first place- as the video showed me driving across a solid white line for only two seconds. Lynn felt that this was not a justified stop by the CHP. In a DUI case there are two issues to deal with. One is the criminal charge and the other is the the DMV who will suspend your license if your blood alcohol content in your blood exceeds the legal limit. Lynn went to my DMV hearing and won a set aside -meaning the DMV did not suspend my license. A fantastic result in that I read that it is very difficult to win a DMV hearing . After the DMV win by Lynn, she focused on the criminal charges and sought to have those dismissed. Lynn scheduled a hearing for the Judge to hear my case to determine why the DUI charges against me should be dismissed. Lynn methodically presented my case to the Judge. After the Judge had heard the presentation from Lynn and reviewed the video that Lynn had received from the CHP, the Judge dismissed all charges against me. A great, great job by Lynn Gorelick. By winning my case , having all charges dismissed Lynn saved me thousands of dollars in fines, the expense of DUI school, increased insurance rates, and a probation period. But the biggest win that day for me was peace of mind. This issue was behind me thanks to the efforts of an outstanding attorney Lynn Gorelick. If you find your self in a situation like mine you will need an excellent attorney to to represent you. Give Lynn Gorelick a call. She definitely will help you. Lynn knows the law. read more

Lynn Gorelick is a perfect example of an "Angel sent from above"!!! In December of 2008, my boyfriend was pulled over by the Highway Patrol for a DUI and it was most devastating because he has a Commercial license and "driving" is his bread and butter. Obviously not a smart choice - his drinking and driving, knowing the consequences he would have to face but things happen for a reason. Two days after all the chaos and drama, feeling like both our lives were "OVER", we went over the the DA's office and sure enough, he did not qualify for a Public Defender because we owned a home. Fortunately, one of the District Attorneys we spoke to recommended three attorneys in the area and Lynn was second on her list. After a super long morning of disappointments, we stumbled into Lynn's office and spoke to a "super down to earth" guy named Jason. He sat down with us, told us about his wife, Lynn and gave us an overview of her years of service. Impressive enough, her dad had been an attorney for years and probably helped and guided Lynn through her practice. Lynn was out of the office, in court with other clients however, we were able to meet her and amazingly enough, after we filled out the paperwork, she ran with his case! Throughout the months, she contacted my boyfriend, appeared several times in court for him and FINALLY last week, we had to appear in court. Not sure how she did it, but SHE MADE MIRACLES HAPPEN for us. His DUI charges were dropped to a wet and wreckless and most importantly, HE WAS ABLE TO KEEP HIS COMMERCIAL LICENSE AND HIS JOB!!!! After months and months of worrying and praying, Lynn made it all worth while with her magic! If you've found yourself in some trouble and are looking for someone to take over and make miracles happen, don't think twice. Contact Lynn Gorelick's office in Hayward, CA. Both she and her husband are amazing people.... both very kind, funny and are TRULY PASSIONATE about helping others. Because of them, we never really experienced much suffering and financially, they were much more affordable than anyone else around. THANK YOU LYNN AND JASON! You have given us both a new start in life and appreciate everything you have done for us! read more

I highly recommend Attorney Lynn Gorelick for anyone facing a DUI case, especially veterans who may qualify for Military Diversion. From the very beginning of my case, Attorney Gorelick demonstrated exceptional professionalism, legal expertise, and a clear strategy for achieving the best possible outcome. Attorney Gorelick took the time to carefully explain every step of the legal process and provided straightforward advice about how she planned to defend my case. Her preparation, knowledge of DUI law, and confidence immediately gave me peace of mind during what was a very stressful situation. One of the most impressive aspects of her representation was her willingness to challenge the chemical blood test results and carefully examine the evidence. She also appeared at hearings on my behalf, which was extremely helpful, and ensured that every step of the process was handled properly and professionally. Because of her strong legal advocacy, I won my DMV hearing and had my driver's license reinstated, which was an enormous relief. As a veteran currently participating in the Military Diversion program, I especially appreciated Attorney Gorelick's understanding of the process and her ability to guide me through it with confidence and clarity. I would also like to recognize her legal assistant, Teresa, who was incredibly helpful throughout my case. Teresa kept me informed about court dates, assisted with reasonable payments, and was always responsive whenever I had questions. Her professionalism and communication made the entire process much smoother. Attorney Gorelick and her team are knowledgeable, professional, and truly dedicated to their clients. If you are facing a DUI case and want an Attorney who will advocate for you and work toward the best possible outcome, I strongly recommend Attorney Lynn Gorelick. I would especially encourage fellow veterans to consider her representation. read more

- Extremely effective in and out of court - Extremely compassionate toward her clients Lynn Gorelick knows the Alameda County court system better than any other defense lawyer. She is experienced, focused and unrelenting in pursuit of the best possible outcome for her clients. I faced two tough charges: a DUI and an assault charge and I was completely lost. I found her office after interviewing several law firms and I am so very grateful for her service. With the support of a strong legal team, Lynn manages difficult cases efficiently, preparing extensively and personally representing her clients in court - the opposite of most other 'top' firms who hire less experienced lawyers to represent clients. On my day at court, she negotiated in the chambers beforehand to drop the assault charge and reduce the DUI to a wet reckless, meanwhile staying any action by DMV to affect my license. This was the best outcome I could have had hoped for - no other law office I contacted stated it was possible. Another client waiting with me facing a DUI charge had her charges dropped. It's clear Lynn's many years of experience as one of the most successful defense lawyers in Alameda County provides a huge advantage for her clients. I cannot speak highly enough about her office. At each step in the process, Lynn consistently followed through on every promise and her office was always available. If you're in an extremely difficult situation where you need the strongest legal support available, you'll find Lynn's rates are exactly on par with other law firms, yet her offering is beyond comparison. read more

After a night in jail and talking to many attorneys, I was in shock and thought no one could help me--only vague promises and a lot of "hype". I thought my life was over-no getting a new job, loss of reputation, two counts against me, loss of driving privileges and the list goes on! I also said too much to the officers which was turned around to actually make me look worse! Then I found Lynn-- recommended by another prominent attorney in the area. The difference between her and the others is she is calm, caring, honest and responsive, and exceedingly knowledgeable. Her staff is terrific, too. They all make you feel like their single most important client. Lynn even appeared for me several times due to my surgery and did not charge me more! The expense, BTW, is worth every penny. She got the DUI charges eliminated and one of the two charges was reduced to not guilty and the other charge I was allowed to plead to a lesser offense (reckless) which saved my reputation and future job opportunities even saved my legacy as a father I have worked with several attorneys in my line of work and she is at the top of the list. She knows the judges, the DA, and the "system". Everyone appears to know and respect her at the courthouse! I just know without Lynn I could not imagine a better outcome and I wholeheartedly recommend her --and in my estimation she is the best attorney in this specialized field of DUI law in the Bay area! read more

Words cannot express how remarkable Lynn and her staff treated me. After my DUI arrest, I was buried in "Jail Mail" for about a week. Full color brochures proclaiming to be the "Best" DUI defense lawyers were impressive, but looked hollow. My first contact by phone with Ms. Gorlick's staff was pleasant, calming, assuring, knowledgable and informative. Jason displayed a very good command of the Law, it's consequenses, alternatives and various outcomes, depending on my case. In my first meeting with Lynn, I was ready to just take my punishment, and get over the pain and suffering. Lynn explained to me her qualifications, asked me in detail how it happened, gave me hope that she could indeed help me, then explained her fee's and the due diligence she would perform. I accepted on the spot. The short version is, my civil case was significantly reduced, punishment minimized, and DMV suspension completely set aside. Unbelievable! Trust me on this one, read all you want about how people get their cases dismissed. I never believed that nonsense anyway. What I can tell you is this: If you want the most " Experianced" DUI Lawyer who will give you your money's worth, you better call Lynn at Gorelick Law Offices. Mike from Fremont read more

I'm writing the day I received my new unrestricted California driver's license. I owe this joyous occasion entirely to my attorney, Ms. Lynn Gorelick. This outcome seemed impossible the night I was arrested. The details of my case are much less important than the lessons I learned as Ms. Gorelick guided me through the process. DUI cases involve multiple departments - police, district attorneys, judges, DMV hearing officers - any of which can dramatically affect your outcome. In appearing before these agencies, I witnessed Ms. Gorelick's integrity and capability assure my case a fair hearing. Ms. Gorelick's reputation for integrity provided the trust necessary for an open minded consideration of the "facts". Her capability, a combination of long experience and comprehensive knowledge of case law, presented the "facts" of my case in a compellingly different light. Ms. Lynn Gorelick is currently serving as 'President' of the California DUI Lawyers Association. On her site you'll see the prominent roles she has in other local and national professional DUI defense organizations. read more

I was referred to Lynn about 10 years ago to help my son who had a driving issue. Not only did she resolve the issue but from the first conversation with her you knew you had a powerful knowledgeable advocate in your corner that would do everything in her power to resolve your legal problem. Recently my daughter had a problem with the legal system so I made contact with her office and was informed she was in court but her office took the information . Within five minutes she called me back to get the details of what the problem was. I gave her the details and she told me she would make a few contacts to advise us what to expect next. Five minutes later she called back informing us that the problem was resolved. When you don't deal with the legal system often it can be intimidating. With Lynn in your corner you know you have a friend that knows all the ins and outs of the legal system and cares about your case. read more

I was first impressed with Lynn and her office staff when they took a phone call from me on a Sunday afternoon. They were concerned and helpful in the immediate aftermath of my DUI case. We had an appointment set up within two days and the rest is history. And, to top it off, one of the first things Lynn told me was, " I like to win". I give credit and a huge thank you to Lynn and her staff for helping me through my case in a professional and courteous manner. It is very helpful to have someone on your side when you are confused and bewildered by the court system and DMV. The law is stacked against you when you don't have some representation by your side. Keeping my license was of utmost importance to me and Lynn succeeded beyond my expectations. She was a steady hand that lead me through a dark time and I wouldn't be driving today without her help. Thank you again, Lynn, and staff! read more

I had the worst nightmare of my entire LIFE; not only to me, my family, my job and friends...everything was affected. I kept asking myself, "why is this happening to me? I'm a good person." After getting out of jail I was inundated with attorney letters wanting to make some fast money. Lynn's letter was simple and to the point. IT WAS THE BEST PHONE CALL I EVER MADE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! The moment I called my chaotic life was much more manageable. Lynn has a very thorough knowledge of the court system. Also, her personal and one-on-one attention she gives to her clients is AMAZING!! I couldn't have fathomed a happy ending coming out of this situation, let alone my nightmere vanishing. Lynn, you and your staff (Jason and others) are simply FANTASTIC!! Thank you soo much!! read more

It was not a dream.. it happened. I have been arrested for a criminal offence.. a DUI. These were my thoughts as I sat in jail praying earnestly for the guard to call the next round of people to be let out. It was a most horrifying experience. After the arrest and subsequent release came the dilemma of what to do next to deal with this situation. I prayed. I got on google and chose Lynn to represent me. Little did I know that I was on the way to experience God's mercy through the work of Lynn. Today, I stand with a clean slate, an opportunity to keep my sanity, my technical practice and a clean record. Lynn's expertise at navigating the court system is to say the least, LEGENDARY. Thank you Lynn! God bless you and your family immensely. G read more
