He worked with my relative for 1.5 years since the arrest to a drop of the DUI to a wet and reckless. We highly recommend this experienced lawyer to anyone in need. Thanks Mr. Aaron Bortel!

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!

Eloy has helped me out of more than one sticky situation and I'm so grateful to know that my cases…read moreare in good hands when he is working on them. He always patiently explains the process in an easy-to-understand way at the beginning of a case, and when I have the rare question, he gets back to me and makes me feel at ease. I like that I can just send him a photo of my traffic ticket and never have to think about it again! I know from a friend's experience with him that he's the exact same with DUI cases. She was cited for a DWI up in Petaluma and I told her, "You've gotta call Eloy!" I'm really glad she listened to me because it's overwhelming finding a criminal defense attorney, especially when so much is at stake, but he helped her with both the DMV hearing and criminal case and she was really pleased with the outcome. I could tell that even after their first phone call she was less scared. Anyway, back to me. Eloy's my go-to guy whenever I get a ticket up in the Santa Rosa area and I've never regretted it. Thanks!

Always an amazing experience with Eloy…read more.. He has handled many traffic citations for me, more than I'd like to admit, but always ends in DISMISSAL. Worth every penny. Plus, Eloy is an awesome person and his team is diligent and professional. Highly recommended.

He's not just a defense attorney, he's the defense attorney. Like, if I were on trial in a Lifetime…read moremovie, I'd still want Will. He's calm, confident, and somehow makes you feel like everything's going to be fine -- even when the stakes are high and your blood pressure's higher. He explained everything clearly, never judged, and fought like hell for the best possible outcome (which I got, thank you very much). 10/10. Would retain again (but hopefully won't have to).

That statement is inaccurate. I did not initiate any after-hours call; he called me. During that…read moreconversation, his tone was unprofessional and dismissive, and he ultimately hung up on me. The following day, he contacted me again and apologized for his behavior, explaining he had been tired after returning from vacation with his family. He also asked me several times to delete my review. Given that apology and follow-up contact, the description in this comment is inconsistent with what actually occurred during our interaction. I am simply requesting that the facts of the exchange be represented accurately.

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 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.
