"Darryl Genis is missing a letter from his last name--it should be Darryl GeniUs, given what I know of him. He brings intelligence, skill, and energy to each and every case. He tirelessly defends his clients and when he shows up in court for a client, the prosecution knows it has a real fight on its hands. Darryl and i have attended many, many, National College of DUI Defense seminars together, and i know him well. We frequently email each other about our cases and he has given me good advice. I endorse him wholeheartedly."

"As a criminal defense attorney with the Santa Barbara Public Defender's Office from 2009-2015, I had the good fortune of meeting Darryl Genis and learning from his example and good advice. It is rare, if not unheard of, to find a defense attorney that has Darryl's passion for fighting for his clients. Because of the seemingly insurmountable odds the criminal justice system presents towards its defendants, many attorneys find it too daunting to fight the system that would otherwise chew up our clients and spit them out. But from the first time I met Darryl, he has remained consistently competent, thorough, knowledgeable, and tenacious. He has always been and remains an important ally of the criminal defense bar and the rights of the accused in Santa Barbara County, especially in DUI cases. I could not recommend a criminal defense attorney more highly."

"Darryl Genis is the cream of the cream in DUI advocacy. I have known Darryl for ten years after meeting and being very impressed by him at the nation's top DUI seminar. I have seen Darryl present at the top seminars and have learned from him. I have a large DWI practice in Austin/San Antonio and I believe in giving my best to and for my clients. Darryl is as zealous as they get and what separates him from his competitors is that he can back up his reputation in the courtroom. I saw that Darryl's rating dropped and I got mad because I know why. Darryl's problem with the State Bar was caused by this tremendous effort at exonerating a client who was wrongfully accused. Darryl refused to be bullied by the cops, prosecutor or the judge. He might have pushed the envelop a little too hard but that is what I want to see in a trial lawyer. If you were to ask me for a DUI referral I will be sending you to Darryl Genis. Tell him the DWI Dude sent you his way. Jamie "DWI Dude" Balagia"

Darryl is the quint-essential advocate for his clients and a great warrior in the battle for preservation of the U.S. Constitution in regard to the rights of the People.

"Darryl is a DUI expert who is a tenacious battler for his clients. He represented a newspaperman who was allegedly falsely arrested, and filed extensive motions in discovery alleging perjury by the arresting officer -- who had been voted by MADD as the Best Cop in Santa Barbara for two years! After a hung jury, Darryl eventually got all charges dismissed. Highly recommended!"
