My friend needed a DUI attorney last summer and spent an afternoon visiting a few different attorney's offices in Sacramento. Denis seemed like the best fit, since he specializes in DUI cases, was good-humored and just inspired the most confidence in general. It took them around 8 months to get the case dismissed, and he kept him informed throughout the entire process and was available to answer any questions/concerns. Would strongly recommend if you need a DUI attorney in the Sacramento area. read more

DD participant - project workshop The workshop was held in downtown Davis inside the Historic City Hall which is now a restaurant, Bistro 33. The workshop was conducted by DUI Attorney, Denis White Jr and his law firm. Participants were provided alcoholic drinks of their choice (x5) and conducted breathalyzer per each round. The results were recorded on paper. It didn't take much for some of the participants to go over the limit and be considered DUI. The drinks that were chosen were Moscow Mule, Mint Mojito, Rum & Coke, Blue Moon Beer, and Midori Sour. The five participants were made to guess how drunk they are after each drink and then blow in a breathalyzer to see how drunk they really are. The project was filmed and will be available in YouTube after editing. What a fun group! So much laughter all around. Of course, these things aren't funny in the real world if you drink and drive. Atty Denis gave some interesting scenarios and tips and lessons to the group. Of course, as the participants progress to each drink (they have to complete 5) the group got louder and sometimes boisterous and profanity started bouncing off the walls and you can really tell the effects of the alcohol in each of them. They also had to take a field sobriety tests and not sure how many of them passed. I know my hubby didn't. This certainly was a wake-up call to all of them. Appetizer food was provided and they were all delicious! We all had a great time. Joann and I were designated drivers to our +1's. Remember, drinking and driving is a no-no but if you need an attorney, call on Denis White and his law firm to represent you. It was nice knowing Denis but I hope none in my household will have to use a DUI Attorney. Thank you, Brandon, for inviting me and jR to your first one of a kind UYE! Review #0987 read more

When I found myself in need of an attorney I asked around. Denis came highly referred by a friend of a friend. I reached out online and he reached out within a day. Because I work regular business hours we kept missing each other. He then arranged for a call on a Sunday! He walked me through everything I would expect to face and left it to me whither to continue with hiring him. Although I had the info already, it takes an attorney to navigate the possibilities. I did hire him and it was worth it. He walked me through every step, kept in touch and replied to every call, text or email same day, if not immediately. I visited his office twice and never stepped foot in court. He got the best outcome under the circumstances and exactly as he had predicted in our meetings. He even handled fixing my missing a deadline for next steps. I could not recommend Denis higher. I made a lot of calls and interviewed several attorneys. I am so pleased with this process with him. He handled everything to the point I literally almost forgot to stress. read more

Sometimes having an insider perspective can mean the difference between spending the night in your own home and staying the night in jail. I was a designated driver for the DUI awareness Yelp event hosted by Denis White at Bistro 33, where 5 test subjects were given 5 rounds of drinks in a 2 hour period and periodically were tested for breath-alcohol levels throughout the period. It was such an eye opener not only for the test subjects but for the crowd watching. Since each subject chose their drink, we were able to see how their drink choice influenced their sobriety. I noticed that the subject who usually has "lighter" drinks was the only one who passed the sobriety tests and stayed within the legal limit. Denis was very informative on DUI law throughout the night, sharing with us the driving violations that cops can pull you over for and subsequently begin the DUI questioning. We watched a YouTube Playlist he created showing each of the 20 some violations and the reason it gives cops to stop you. During the Q&A portion, subjects peppered him with DUI questions (some drunk and irrelevant lol) and Denis answered each one, explaining to the group how it should be applied to Sacramento DUI situations. Overall, it was a great learning experience and really motivated us to consider Lyft and Uber from now on, given the DUI costs we learned about at the event. read more

At this DUI education event, I learned that your tolerance doesn't always get higher as you grow in age! This was a first of its kind Yelp event that focused on education and awareness rather than just products launches or food promotion. The goal of this event was to educate attendees on Sacramento DUI and show a real time depiction of how easily people can unknowingly pass the legal limit, making themselves DUI arrest candidates. Five subjects were given 5 rounds of alcohol each, blowing in the breathalyzer throughout the night (same unit as cops in Sac use). I was test subject #3 and the drink I chose was rum and coke (Denis told us to choose something we normally drink so we can have an accurate picture how things would be on a typical night out) I noticed that while I didn't feel impaired after drink number 3, Denis and several others said I was definitely acting the part. After failing the field sobriety test, I determined that everyone was right. Denis didn't share tips on how drunk drivers can elude the police, so he wasn't out to help drunk drivers keep breaking the law and endangering others. He coordinated the event to show us how to properly gage when it's time to call Uber or Lyft and I'll always be thankful for the lesson! this DUI education event, I learned that your tolerance doesn't always get higher as you grow in age. read more

This workshop was held by Attorney, Denis White, who specializes in DUI's. My fiancé and I arrived to Bistro 33 a little after 5:00pm and the workshop began shortly thereafter. The purpose of the workshop was to see how intoxicated someone can get from drinking an alcoholic beverage by taking a breathalyzer test. Basically, the participant drinks their alcoholic beverage, waits 15 minutes, takes a breathalyzer test, drinks another alcoholic beverage, waits 15 minutes, takes another breathalyzer test, and so forth. This was repeated five times, meaning each participant had to drink 5 alcoholic beverages. I was a participant at the workshop and my poison of choice was a Moscow Mule. This was an eye opening experience for me because first of all, I found out that I couldn't even drink 5 alcoholic beverages and secondly, 3 Moscow Mules equates to a .112 BAC for me. Of course this number would be different for others, based on factors like weight and height, but it was helpful for me to see how many drinks it would take for me to fail a sobriety test, which would be 4 since I was so intoxicated I couldn't even go through with a sobriety test. This was an excellent workshop and I thank Denis and his team for exposing us to the realities of drinking irresponsibly. read more

I attended a DUI awareness workshop at Bistro 33 in Davis, CA hosted by DUI Attorney, Denis White. I have never driven under the influence but have wondered, "what if" since one beer or cocktail hardly does anything for me. This was an eye opening experience. I attended this workshop with others, and my review will be based off of my own experience. The goal of this workshop was to drink 5 drinks, then take a breathalyzer test to see what your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) will be. However, the breathalyzer was administered 15 minutes after finishing your drink of choice. I completely annihilated my first drink. I ordered the Mojito, a rather light drink but it'll creep up on you. I was fine after my first and second drink. My BAC showed that I cannot drive after my second drink. Granted the breathalyzer was administered immediately after I drank and not 15 minutes later (to demonstrate the lingering alcohol in your mouth). After the alcohol settled a bit, my BAC went down, but not by much. After my third drink, I was getting rather loud and used a lot of profanity. After my forth drank, my vision started to get blurry, and I had a problem concentrating. After my fifth drink, I could barely stand straight and almost walked into the women's restroom. In my experience, one drink is all I needed if I were to even think about driving. That is, I would need to sober up for 15 minutes first. If I had two drinks, I should probably request an Uber to be on the safe side. Everybody's body is different, I would say that I'm on the bigger side, mass and muscle wise, versus my fellow participants. The golden rule is to just not drink and drive. I learned a lot from the workshop Denis offered, it was a reality check. You may "think" you can drive after a few drinks, but in reality, you are not! Thanks Denis! I hope I never have to use you but you offered a great lesson for us! read more

I recently took part in a DUI awareness workshop by Denis White's office and learned more about the DUI process that I ever thought. 4 others and I were given 5 rounds of drinks (alcoholic beverages of our choice) to see how our BAC changed as the night progressed. Denis brought the same Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) device (breathalyzer) that local law enforcement uses when testing DUI suspects, so the conditions were as close to real life as possible. Denis was able to answer all of our DUI related questions in a way that we could understand, without using too many technical terms. The most interesting thing I learned is that even if you're under the legal driving limit of .08, you can definitely be impaired enough to get pulled over and charged with V.C. 23152(a) for impaired driving. Thanks to this experiment, I was able to deduce that 2 blue moons and 2 shots is enough to impair me, so I'd never get behind the wheel at that point. Thanks for hosting such an informative event! read more

Denis was a godsend in a time of deep personal hardship. His guidance and support through the entire process was much appreciated -- I do not know how myself or my family would have gotten through things without him by our side. Should you be in need of an experienced lawyer in the Sacramento area, I cannot recommend Denis enough. Whether you are looking for someone to go over court proceedings in detail, or a friendly face during a difficult time, he is always there. Thank you Denis for all that you do and have done to help your community and those in need! read more

As someone who is currently facing a DUI and has hired a lawyer already, I can honestly say I wish I would have come across Mr. White sooner. I called him to get a second opinion on my case, and he was VERY helpful. We talked over the phone for an hour and he took the time to ask about my case and explain what can and can't be done with regards to my situation specifically. If he took the time to walk me through certain aspects of my case and advise me without any compensation of any sort, I cannot imagen how hard he works for his clients. For anyone looking for an attorney to represent them during this very difficult process, I personally recommend scheduling a consultation with Mr. White. He is very straightforward, and from my experience I can go honestly say that he will not give you false hopes just to earn a buck. read more

Denis helped my family when we were in a tough situation. We had called asking for legal advice and he went out of his way to work on our behalf. He stayed in constant contact with us until eventually the case was dismissed. What sets Denis apart from the rest was he actually seemed to care about our situation and really wanted to help us and wasn't just looking to make a quick buck. Would definitely recommend him to anyone. read more

I had the couldn't have asked for a better experience. The help I received in less than two hours was more than I could've asked for. It was very pleasant to deal with someone that truly had my best interest at heart ! And knew exactly how to fix my situation and did. read more

An honest attorney. What more can I say. This guy is THE guy to go to, he won't mess you about with unrealistic expectations. He is on point, doesn't waste time, but he wasn't hurried, not in a rush at all. Completely thorough, solid advice. Not out to make a quick buck off of you. read more

Best service I have received before, during and after my trial. He even followed up after my probationary period and help me get my charges expunged. read more

Denis White is bar none one of the best attorneys I've met. He is knowledgeable and HONEST. He makes his clients more comfortable during a very difficult time by sharing his personal experiences and wisdom. Denis and his associate Kevin Mighetto (congratulations on passing the Cal Bar KM!) reached out to me approximately 5 years after my nightmare to file for an expungement - which was not even on my radar. That expungement was GRANTED 2 months later. I cannot express enough gratitude to them to be able to close this chapter in my life. If you find yourself looking for a DUI attorney, do not hesitate to hire Denis. read more

I like to personally thank and share my experience with attorney Denis White. He is such a caring and reliable lawyer. He has taken the time to help me with my case free of charge and there is truly not many people in this world with such a good heart and I strongly recommend him to others because not only will he work his hardest to get your matter resolved but be there 100% of the way.

Denis was so incredibly helpful and so kind through this process. He took care all of the paperwork and laid out everything I needed to do so clearly and easily. This process is never fun but he made the best of a bad situation. I don't know what I would have done without him there! read more

I found Denis searching on my own on the Internet less than a year ago. We had to do this long distance as I am based in Michigan and my child is attending college in CA. Nevertheless, Denis was incredibly helpful and sincere in understanding our situation. When I met him in person in Sac, I'm even more convinced that he is the right attorney for us. Always so prompt in answering our calls and emails, Denis also makes a point to follow through on all the right actions and updates us. What was a bad judgement made by my child being at the wrong place at the wrong time, the consequences were removed and situation saved by Denis' approach in resolving the matter. He cares a lot about his clients and he wants to do the right things. That's everything you want from an attorney. I felt like Denis is a good friend vs an attorney. He really makes you feel that way. read more

Got a DUI in Yolo county but live in Salinas. Denis handled all the court arrangements so i wouldn't have to travel to Sacramento. I feel he got me the best deal he could considering some special circumstances, which included no jail time and was to allowed to do everything (class, house arrest, etc.) from Salinas. Denis gave me peace of mind that things would be handled during a very uncertain time. Thanks again read more

Denis and his associate Amie are very kind and helpful attorneys. I am very thankful to have them in my families corner. They make you feel very much at ease and not a judgmental bone in their bodies....simply there to help you and provide the best defense possible. read more

Denis White and Amie Beighley were extraordinary attorneys. They were extremely easy to get ahold of and really easy to talk to. After getting my DUI letter, I was distressed and frazzled with the entire process; Denis White stepped in and assured me that he would handle my case to the best of his ability, and that he did. He spent countless hours researching DUI cases, calling the DMV and courthouse, and was able to lessen the all the steps for me, which I greatly appreciated. He is very well known in the Sacramento area, many of the people in the courthouse knew him by first name. Conveniently for me, his office is located in front of the jail house at 901 H St., so on the day of my court date he walked over with me, explained everything in layman's terms; he told me exactly what was going to happen and how he was going to handle it. I am fortunate that I chose to work with Denis and Amie, they made this hardship in my life much easier to handle. -Enrique read more

I highly recommend the legal services of Denis White and Amy Belghley to help you with DUI charges. I was comfortable working with them because of their patience, interest and sound advice. We carefully documented facts related to my arrest which they took to the District Attorney's office. The DUI charges were then dismissed because of their skillful handling. read more

I am so happy I found Denis! Believe me, I know how devastating it feels when you or your loved one is arrested for a DUI. Whether it is a path you have walked before, or have never imagined having to do, I know now that it is not one you want to walk alone. Finding a good attorney to help you navigate the legal system feels daunting, but it is essential and well worth the cost. At least that's how I feel after finding Denis. Not only is Denis a skilled attorney with expertise in this field, but he is also an honest and compassionate human being. He will take you under his wing and guide you every step of the way. He will be available when you need him, answer your questions and concerns, explain to you the intricacies of the law related to your case, and will not lead you astray with expectations. He will give his all to your case, and you will feel really well taken care of. I was really happy with the results of Denis's work on my case. I could not recommend Denis White, Jr. more highly. read more

After an unfortunate auto accident where I blew .085 BAC and was at fault, I sought Denis' help and would recommend him to anyone being accused of DUI. Thanks to Denis' efforts, the DA dropped my case completely, and when the DMV continued to try to suspend my license after the case was dropped, Denis came to the rescue and successfully navigated my hearing to ensure that the suspension was avoided altogether. My case is now completely behind me and I can breathe easy thanks to Denis and his team. Best in Sacramento! Worth every penny! read more

I was charged with a DUI and I was scared of what would happen to me. I reached out to Denis and he immediately reassured me that he would take my case and that I should not worry. He accompanied me to the DMV and helped make sure that my license would not be suspended at the DMV Administrative Hearing. He then contacted the District Attorney and began the process of getting a lesser charge than a DUI. He kept in close contact with me and treated me as a person, not just a client. He got my offense reduced to a Wet Reckless with no license suspension and much lower fines. I recommend Denis to anyone with a DUI related issue. read more

I obtained Denis White's services in late December of 2012. I was very impressed with Mr. White's professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond for his clients. He returned my call, came into the office and met with me, despite it being around the holidays. He was very thorough, clear and concise. I spoke with 4 other lawyers around that time, and Mr. White by far gave me the most ease with my legal situation. I live outside of California, and Mr. White made things SUPER easy for me. He kept in touch, and informed me about decisions, and my choices every step of the way. He represented me, and got me BEST case scenario in court. It's now been 4 years, and I obtained Mr. Whites services once again to have my conviction dismissed. Again, like before, he walked me through the process and represented me well in court. With his assistance and representation I was able to get my conviction dismissed. He and his assistants have been a HUGE help to me. I give him and his office 5 stars and would recommend him to anyone and everyone. He is an experienced, professional, attorney! read more

Two thumbs up for the legal services of Denis White. While visiting family last December, I unfortunately received my first and only DUI. Since I live in San Diego and work as a full-time loan consultant, it was very difficult for me to find the time to address the vast problems associated with my poor judgement. Denis alleviated so much of the stress that I was facing. Not only did he present my case in a professional and prompt manner, lessening my sentence, but he helped guide me through the entire process, catering to my insane schedule. Although I know I wasn't the easiest client to get a hold of, Denis' persistency was phenomenal. Having gotten through it now, Denis didn't stop once my sentence was complete-- he even helped me in the following situation: I was finally eligible for my restricted license, so I took the time off of work and sat at the DMV through the long, long wait that we all know far too well. Upon finally being called to the counter, I was informed that I was ineligible to receive my license for one more day-- I immediately called Denis. Denis picked up right away, I handed the phone to the DMV employee, and Denis successfully informed them that they were incorrect (he knew the law far better than them, obviously). After waiting an additional five minutes, I was recalled to the counter and they handed me my restricted license. Without Denis, I would have had to waste another three hours of time that I didn't have on have the following day. This is a perfect example of the way Denis handles all of his clients-- with care, empathy and most importantly, professionalism. Thank you Denis for being an exceptional attorney. read more

My experience working with Denis was great! I recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in this situation. I had no idea what to expect when I received a DUI, and with out Denis' guidance I would have been completely lost. Thanks to Denis my DUI was reduced to a Wet Reckless which with out him I am confident would not have happened. Denis was straight forward and never gave me false hopes regarding the out come of my case. He made what has easily been the worst experience of my life bearable. read more

There is a reason this attorney consistently has 5 star reviews...because of the care and attention that he pays to his clients. Denis has years of experience, he's very personable, accessible, and personally involved in all aspects thru the conclusion of the case. He promptly responds to any and all questions, and anticipates most questions before they're even asked. He personally walks you thru every step of the process. Denis is a strategist and discusses all the pros and cons, and gives a complete report of the outcome. I doubt you'll find better representation than Denis White. read more

Unfortunately for me , this is my third time calling on Denis for his services. Completely professional and extremely knowledgeable in all areas of helping you through your DUI. I have referred a few friends his way and they have all come back to me with a big thanks for the recommendation. Denis is the best person to have in your corner when going up against the courts. read more

Denis from the start was incredibly sincere and spent countless hours with me explaining everything and making me feel more comfortable. He answered late night messages, responded in a timely manner to emails and always answered my calls. Even years and years after my case, he walked me through step by step what I needed to do for the expungement process. Always honest, dependable and kind. I highly recommend Denis based on his knowledge, skill set and no fluff. He always communicated back to me that good people can make poor choices but that you learn from your mistakes, encouraged me that this too shall pass. Thank you, Denis for all that you did for me during this anxious time. I would often lose sleep but once I was able to ask you questions or talk to you, I felt more relieved knowing that you were helping me through it. Thank you again! read more

For those who find themselves in a tough situation needing guidance and help going through the court and DMV process, this recommendation is for you. I received my DUI in late June after a work function. Unfortunately, I made the irresponsible decision of getting behind the wheel and driving. Well, I did my research, with the assistance of my girlfriend, and gathered insightful information about what to look for when hiring an attorney. After a couple of days of researching different attorneys, I finally made the decision to meet with Mr. Denis White. I went with him based on his expertise/experience, solely focusing on DUI cases, and I had also read reviews about Mr. White taking clients through the whole process, practically by the hand, from start to finish. After getting a consultation, I made the decision to have Mr. White represent me. Mr. White made it very simple in explaining how the Sacramento court system and DMV court system work. I didn't have to lose any days of work to be at the courts, nor fill out any forms. He did everything on my behalf, which made the process easier to bear. In the end, there's always a price to pay, but I think it would have been worse if I didn't have his support. Once my case was settled, Mr. White outlined all the steps I had to make in order to get my drivers license back and not to mention how to expunge my DUI after my probation, which he has offered to help me through the process. Now that I'm going through the necessary steps to get my license back, Mr. White advised that I'm more than welcome to contact him at any time with any questions, even if it's years from now. Thank you Mr. White for all your hard work and constant communication in helping me through this bump on the road! read more
