George B. O'Neill’s Reviews

I hold a commercial drivers license and without it I am out of a job. A DUI or a DMV suspension of my commercial licensefor one year was going to cost me $100,000/ year job. I retained Mr. O'neill, but in the beginning he painted a very bleak picture for my situation, but he said that he would do everything possible! The DMV case and the DUI case lasted some months which allowed me to save up for my anticipated unemployment. One day I received a call from George telling me that half of the battle was over and I was still good to go, He had found an error in the arrest report with the breathalyzer certification that beat the DMV portion on a technicality. I still had the DUI case to battle, and George had set a date for jury trial as it appeared to be the only way to save the license completely. The D.A. just would not give in. I was prepared to spend a ton of money considering legal fees and expert fees let alone my loss of work. I few days before trial Mr. Oneill contacted me with an offer that I/we couldn't refuse. He managed to finally get the charges reduced to a reckless driving (fine, night in jail, classes, NO LOSS OF LICENSE!!) Case over, job still intact, and all of those $$$ that I saved are still in my pocket. Thanks, George

One weekend I headed over to the beach from the Valley for some rest and relaxation,
but the SLO County jail was not supposed to be part of the plan. I left SLO with a record at the County jail,
a driver's license that was going to be suspended for a year, a misdemeanor DUI charge, and a return invitation to appear for arraignment at the San Luis Obispo Courthouse. I hired Mr. O'Neill based on recommendations. He handled both the DMV suspension matter and the court case for me. In short I did not lose my license for even a day but Mr. O'Neill said that I definitely dodged a bullet and that was definitely not the norm. The DUI was satisfactorily resolved too; I will not be returning to SLO... at least not to serve a jail sentence!

He is the man you want on your side. He knows his info and the law every well. Go with him and he will make life better for you. He did for me

Mr. O'Neill was incredibly responsive to every aspect of the process regarding my pending DUI sentence. He helped me to understand what my responsibility was during this process and what my outcome would be. I strongly recommend his services. In my difficult situation Mr. O'Neill helped me in many ways and I truly appreciate his services.

It's horrible enough to get a DUI, but when you have a busy job like I do, it makes everything worse. I had never gotten a ticket, let alone need a lawyer, so this was a very scary experience. George was able to take care of so many things while I kept my mind on work. He did such a great job juggling around my case and keeping me informed. George was also able to reduce my sentence greatly. It is such an amazing feeling to have someone trustworthy handle my case as well as get me out of so many penalties. I am extremely greatful to you George. Thank you so much.

George was great and made me feel very comfortable. He kept me up to speed on everything and I'm very satisfied with the end results.

To the most awesome lawyer, George. I want to express my sincere appreciation for all of the hard work that you've put in. Its a huge weight off my shoulders. Thank you so much for your relentless efforts in defending my case. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the time and perseverance that you put into your work. And although, I was such an uptight worry wort, thank you so much for your humor and lighthearted spirit. I know it was not the end of the world, but I truly felt like it was the end of my world and career if I ended up with a criminal record. There are so many emotions that I've gone thru ever since this haphazard journey and let me tell you, I'm so relieved and happy that I want to cry and I might just do that after work. I simply can not have asked for more than what you've given me. I feel truly lucky and blessed to have an attorney like you.

I live in southern California and was arrested in San Luis Obispo for DUI.  I never actually met Mr. O'Neill but would like to say that after he heard that I was in the military,  he offered to help me by reducing his fee.  His office is in San Luis Obispo and he took care of everything very well for me.  He knew everything that needed to be done to help me through a very difficult situation with the DMV and the court. He is readily available through email and phone and his office staff were happy to help me as well. Mr. O'Neil was informative every step of the way and I feel no other lawyer could have done the better job.

I got in trouble in SLO after a night of drinking more than I should have. I knew that I needed some help so I started looking around over the internet where I found Mr. O'Neill and some others. Since I am a student Mr. O'Neill made it possible for me to afford him as my attorney rather than have to go with the public defender. It was the best decision I could make. I thought I was dead in the water but Mr O'Neill told me what he could do and he did it. He provided the best possible outcome for my situation. I am very happy that I chose to hire Mr. O'Neill rather than do this on my own, which is what I was considering. It was well worth it!

I was visiting San Luis Obispo county and was arrested recently for a DUI. I was pretty sure I was in some pretty big trouble, had no idea what to do so I went to the internet to look for attorneys, hoping I could at least get some information.

I found Attorney George O'Neill's website on the internet and called him on a Sunday thinking I would be leaving a message and having someone call me on a Monday. To my surprise, George answered my call immediately, listened closely to what happened and guided me through the process. That immediately gave me some comfort.

Being from out of town, George handled all appearances without me having to be there, kept me in constant communication and his fees were extremely reasonable.

I guess I would expect any attorney to guide me but what I was especially impressed with is throughout my case George genuinely wanted to help me and did everything he could to get me a favorable outcome that I do not think most other attorneys would have attained. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend George O'Neill.

I live out of state and was charged with a dui in San Luis Obispo county back in 2006. I put it off for 5 years before I found George on the internet. I did not know a soul in California and was not sure who to trust. George turned out to be the right choice. George was trustworthy, knowledgeable, personable and best of all he took care of business with little involvemnet on my part. If you are in need of a good DUI lawyer in California you should contact George.

Due to my employment a DUI conviction was going to crush years of hard work. When I was arrested I was devastated. I felt that I was driving legally but as it turns out that can be almost impossible to prove. Mr. O'Neill took my case and started gathering all available information. One very important part of my case in particular turned out to be my field sobriety testing. Mr. O'Neill is a qualified instructor for police officers who are studying how to give field sobriety tests!! He was able to determine that... well, at a minimum, the officer that arrested me was definitely due for a refresher FST course since it can be so important in a DUI case. To shorten my story, in the end after months of hard work he finally was able to resolve my case and that saved my job. I am incredibly grateful to Mr. O'Neill for his dedication to my case and would highly recommend him to anyone facing a DUI charge.

I was in DEEP trouble until Mr. O'Neill took my case. He was on top of everything and very thorough. I would have gotten twice the beating by "the man" if I hadn't hired him!!

I spoke with several attorneys, most of whom made grand promises but charged exhorbitant fees for their services. George was by far the most reasonable in cost, and impressed me immediately as the most forthright and honest. He made no promises but laid out in detail what possibilities there were and why. In the end, he did all he said he would do and more, and I was very satisfied with the outcome. Thanks again George!

If you get a DUI, hire George to get you the best results possible. George is an honest straight forward attorney that will keep you informed to the status of your case. You will appreciate the way he handles your DUI charges with the court. Do yourself a favor, look no further George!

I was arrested for a DUI accident in conjunction with a felony evading arrest in which multiple traffic crimes were committed. My blood alcohol level was nearly 4 times the legal limit. There is no excuse for my actions that night and luckily no other people were involved, however my whole life professionally and personally was in serious jeopardy as I was looking at a possible long term prison sentence. I found George and took a chance based on reviews like this one I am writing. I was very happy I did. George was able to get the felony reduced to a misdemeanor with minimal sentencing that is easily manageable and will allow me to continue my affairs and life normally. Additionally, George's fees are exceptionally reasonable. I offered him more money because I thought I owed him more and he did not take it. George is an honest and excellent attorney who will do what it takes to put a bad event behind you. I highly recommend him.

To make a long case short, George took my DUI charge and made the best of this tedious, confusing, and frustrating situation. There were a few variables in my case that George investigated without delay and to the very end, AND THEN SOME. Everything from possible faulty paperwork, to in office experiments. He's extremely informative (i wouldn't want to be the cop that pulls him over). He will keep you updated via phone calls, TEXT MESSAGES!!!, and email, is very punctual, and an all around good/fun guy to work with. I have needed lawyers twice before him and have never been satisfied. The product wasn't worth the price. George is worth every penny. My case was lessened greatly, due to Mr. O'neill's work. HE EVEN DID SOME POST-CASE WORK FOR ME FOR FREE!!!! I found him online, took a chance, and boy it worked out as good as it could have. I recommend.

I was one of the unlucky ones to take a trip to SLO and end up with a DUI. George O'Neill handled my case, without me ever having to appear in court. Mr. O'Neill's handling of my circumstances could not have resulted in a better outcome, other than being dismissed. From listening to other horror stories of how their attorneys handled the cases and lack of responsiveness or knowledge of the laws, I would recommend to anyone they use George O'Neill. I lived out of town and he helped with all of the transfer issues along with ensuring the best possible outcome at the DMW.

With the ever changing laws and lack of knowledge of the legal system spending the money for Mr. O'Neill's services is your best bet to have peace of mind. George O’Neill will handle your case correctly and professionally to ensure you receive the best outcome for these unfortunate circumstances.

If you’re browsing this site, you probably just experienced what many of us before you have gone through, being arrested and charged with a DUI. This is probably one of the most traumatizing and stressful situations anyone can experience because not only do you spend the night in jail but you also face the possibly of losing your driver’s license and criminal charges. I encourage anyone in this situation to hire a lawyer and I highly recommend Mr. George O’Neill.

Having no prior incidents with the law (not even a traffic ticket) or experience working with lawyers, I was fairly lost as to how I would try piece my life back together. Without much aim or direction, I reached out to numerous local DUI lawyers explaining my case. Mr. O’Neill was the first lawyer to reply to my email and responded the same day, even during a holiday weekend! I was pleasantly surprised to receive such a rapid response, and through this gesture, I knew Mr. O’Neill was highly professional and wanted to waste little time. During the first consultation, Mr. O’Neill was very honest and clearly walked me through what the legal proceedings would be and helped me fully understand the situation. The fee that he requested for his work was very reasonable. Through these initial interactions I felt that Mr. O’Neill genuinely wanted to help me and had no intentions of ripping me off so I decided to hire him and retain him as my attorney.

Throughout the process, Mr. O’Neill and his staff were always friendly and accessible. Office meetings were easily arranged and Mr. O’Neill regularly kept me informed with any news or updates regarding my case. Through our constant communication, I knew that Mr. O’Neill worked exceptionally hard on my case, and as a result I attained a highly favorable outcome. I can’t thank Mr. O’Neill enough for helping me turn my life around and getting my future back. Hiring him was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Mr. O’Neill is an honest lawyer who genuinely cares for his clients and will do his absolute best to help.

I was in SLO for a college reunion - things got out of hand, I was arrested for drunk in public and taken to jail for the night. When they released me in the morning it was clear I had really screwed myself and possibly my livelihood. I had no idea what I could do, luckily I found Mr. O'Neill on this site. If you are reading this you are probably in a similar situation and panicking with no idea what to do, relax, call George O'Neill on Monday. He called back before any other lawyer and immediately had a plan to get my life back on track. He took care of all court work/appearances and worked for the best resolution possible. He came through for me and gave me my life back.

He was a good lawyer and got what I wanted from my case.

I hired Mr. O'Neill when I was pulled over and arrested for a DUI. Mr. O'Neill found information about the breath testing equipment used which resulted in me not losing my drivers license and a non-alcohol related plea without going to trial. Mr. O'Neill informed me of all the steps of the process and contacted me when any new evidence became known. Mr. O'Neill was also very good at letting me when court days were approaching and informed me of the results of each appearance. I would highly recommend Mr. O'Neill to anyone as he worked extremely hard on my case, ultimately to receive a favorable outcome that I am very happy with.

Ive unfortunetly had to use more than one attorny in my life.This was the first for DUI tho. George was the best yet without a doubt. E-mails returned the same day everytime with all the information i could possibly use. I was able to see him the same day i called, twice, as well as him texting me 2 hours after court to let me know the outcome. He was able to obtain a much better result than I was told I was going to get when I went to court by myself the first day.

I was visiting SLO on vacation and was arrested for DUI.
I found Mr. O'Neill on the internet and retained him to represent me both in court and at the DMV.
After the DMV hearing my license was not suspended.
His investigation of the case found several problems with the prosecution's case.
George also took my case to trial for me,
and on the fifth day of trial he obtained the plea bargain that under the circumstances I had to have,
though personally George was against entering any plea bargain.
Mr. O'Neill was always immediately available to help me with any questions I had, even after the case was over.

I was driving home after drinking some alcohol on night and I fell asleep at the wheel.
I strongly suggest that this is a very stupid thing for anyone to do!!
Mr. O'Neill took my case and obtained a very favorable result for me.
He told me how much the fee was going to be in the beginning and that was the total fee for the case.
Even after the case was over for six months,
Mr. O'Neill was always immediately available to help me with any questions I had.
I was shocked that Mr. O'Neill was able to get me out of a D.U.I.! I didn't even have to show up to court. I would reccomend him to anyone!

Mr. O'Neill, was a prompt, trustworthily, informative & overall excellent lawyer. I do believe he truly did fight for me & did all he could & I never even met him. I live 300 miles away from SLO & Mr. O'Neill got everything taken care of in a kind & trusting manor. I would recommend Mr. O'Neill to everyone.

Being arrested for DUI is like being dropped into a deep dark jungle without a clue as to how to get out. The best thing that can be done is to find an experienced guide to help you get back to civilization. It was my good fortune to see Mr. O’Neill’s website on the internet and give him a call. George O’Neill took on my case and has done everything possible to restore my drivers license. It has made the difference between night and day. He moved quickly to get the details of the case and deal with both the courts and the DMV. He made sure that I made all the legal deadlines and that the paperwork was accurate and complete when submitted. He had my blood samples retested and made all of the court appearances without my having to be there. He is especially adept at dealing with the DMV.

George O’Neill knows the operation of the DMV and more importantly knows how to communicate with them to protect driving privileges of his clients. He has repeatedly intervened with them to make sure that they treat me fairly. If you have never dealt with the DMV, this may not mean much to you, but getting them to do anything in your favor is like moving a mountain. George routinely accomplishes this task.

I had a tough case. It was apparent after the blood tests came back that I was DUI. George presented the ups and downs of the case and reasonably advised the best route to take to get my license back in the minimum amount of time and effort. George and his staff have been open and responsive to every call or email that I have sent. Office visits are easily arranged. His is a smooth and efficient operation that guarantees that the legal side of things will be properly accomplished. It really helps to have this kind of representation when dealing with the courts and the DMV. The peace of mind that George brings to the procedures makes his legal fee well worth the expense.

For me, George O’Neill was the right person in the right place at the right time. Without George there is no way my case would have turned out as well as it has. I appreciate him for his legal and professional guidance and willingness to explain everything to me in advance.
If you should find yourself requiring a DUI attorney, I could recommend no one better than
Mr. George O’Neill.
