I consider myself very fortunate to be in a position to help some people who have been charged with a
DUI who wouldn’t ordinarily have the financial resources to retain a private attorney.
If your case is one that does not have enough reasonable doubt to go to trial,
I strongly suggest you request a public defender. The public defenders in Orange County are very competent and capable
of negotiating a fair plea agreement for you. However, if the facts of your case give rise to reasonable doubt,
you should definitely take your case to trial. While the public defenders in Orange County are fully capable of
taking your case to trial, they simply do not have the time to give all of their clients as much personal attention
as a private attorney can. Their case loads are too large.
As I have stated in other locations on my web site, I absolutely love going to trial, especially with a winnable case.
If I review your case and believe it is winnable at trial, I will represent you at no cost.
Please understand that I must limit myself to two Pro Bono trials per year. I must also be very selective as I receive several
requests for representation. The best chance to qualify for my no fee representation is if your case falls within the
following parameters:
- A blood alcohol level of .08% or less with a relatively good driving pattern (or even better, you were stopped at a sobriety check point) and relatively good performance on the field sobriety tests. (A breath test is better than a blood test.)
- The officer did not see you drive, you were not involved in a collision, and the evidence that you were driving is weak.
- The officer did not see you drive, you were not involved in a collision, and you believe that the civilian witnesses who did see you drive will not want to testify against you at trial.
If your case falls within these parameters, please contact me so that I can review your arrest report. If I believe your case is winnable and you can show financial need, I will waive my fee.
