First DUI case

If you’re on here looking through reviews because you got a DUI & are trying to figure out which attorney to hire to represent you, then THIS is the review for you. I too was in your shoes. Got charged with my FIRST DUI. And given, every DUI case is different but what really matters is hiring an Atto...rney who pays attention to your story, to every piece of detail you give them & more importantly an Attorney who makes you feel comfortable. I’m a Realtor, and as such I need my license to keep driving on the road.I also like to travel & I felt like my life was over being charged with a DUI.Some countries like Canada won’t even allow you entry with a DUI on your record.I consulted with a total of 6 different DUI attorneys. I was actually in the area of Orland Park meeting with a different DUI attorney, when I was told about Camilo’s services through a viral tiktok that was made. So in turn I do have to say “Brandon sent me!” Lol I decided to stop by Camilo’s office & to my surprise I actually got to meet with him and he gave me a free consultation.I told Camilo my story, nonetheless he started brainstorming a whole game plan from the start.Truly, he reminded me of myself on how I treat my clients. I remember him telling me “Whatever attorney you get wether it’s me or someone else idc but you have to make sure they file this for you by Friday” that to me was free advice. ONLY A GOOD PERSON will say that to you. Camilo made me aware that he works with his Partner Boris on many cases together. The communication with Camilo for the month until my court date was great! He always answered my texts/calls. Ooooppsss I forgot to mention, I got charged with “driving under the influence of alcohol” which was complete bs & wrongful arrest bc I have colitis and I don’t even like drinking alcohol because it will damage my colon & I sure was not drinking the night of my arrest. Anyways, court date comes… & Boris shows up to represent me. & let’s just say Camilo was right about him, he is truly brilliance in the court room. Listen, I know my case was messed up to begin with but I didn’t know to what level of extent my rights were being violated. Boris asked me if I was willing to go to trial same day as my hearing date. (My first court date for my DUI) I was nervous but if it meant I could potentially be done with this whole thing in ONE DAY then yes let’s do it!The cop who arrested me clearly didn’t expect a whole hearing/trial on the first court date. I mean neither did I lol But Boris came in and started asking the officer very important questions. EVERY DETAIL MATTERS. And Boris made sure to point out in court every right that was violated. And it takes a Brilliant attorney to be able to do that and help you get the results you want. I was found not guilty and my DUI case was handled in ONE DAY. I was made aware from the start that many DUI cases can last minimum 3 months with multiple court dates. Ughhh! How exhausting! But they handled mine in one day & everything was DONE. Like Brandon said in that TikTok THEY PERFORM MIRACLES! I was found Not guilty and I can go to Canada and keep my drivers license & continue to service my clients. Camilo & Boris, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you did for me. From the start you believed in me, you made me feel comfortable, you had my back and you didn’t do anything to jeopardize my license. P.S- After an entire month of waiting & me following up with them, they didn’t end up getting my discovery files till the Friday before my court date and court was Monday and they still made it a priority over the weekend to review everything carefully and in detail and they were ready to fight for me in court. Boris did just that, he fought for me in the court room. ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE THAT MAN! AND EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR IN REPRESENTATION!!! THANK YOU GUYS JUSTICE WAS SERVED!!!

Charges Dismissed

I was arrested and charged with battery, I was very lucky to find attorney Ocegera's number,since the first time I spoke to him he was very attentive and clear about my case,the court date was the very next day after we spoke and he was able to be there in my defense. He was very knowledgeable abo...ut the case and excellent at the moment to speak in the court room.At first the charges were written as felonies, He managed to bring them down to misdemeanors,after that and him being a very knowledgeable and experienced attorney, the case went to trial and all charges were dropped. My record is clean thanks to attorney Ocegera. I would highly recommend attorney Ocegera for any legal matter.

DUI CASE “EXCELLENT LAWYER”

After consulting a few lawyers, Camilo was the right decision I made to take over my case from the moment I spoke to him he gave me peace of mind and reassure that everything will be okay. He immediately started to work on my case got the petition put in within 3 days so my license wouldn’t get susp...ended I was able to retain my driving privileges throughout the time of the case. He was always present at the courtroom never missed a court date. He was well prepared for trial and did an outstanding job in front of the judge and I was found not guilty. Not only did Camilo gave me his time of the day but he was really patient throughout the whole process of the case. Answer any questions and quick to respond. I was in really good hands with him. Highly recommended him best lawyer!! Lifted a big weight of my shoulder.

DUI Case (Outstanding Lawyer)

A few months ago, i was arrested for a DUI with accident, and my job was in jeopardy. I needed a lawyer to start on my case immediately. Once i contacted D&O Law Firm and spoke with Camilo Oceguera, i felt that i was in very good hands and confident that he will do everything in his power to fight fo...r me. Camilo started working on my case immediately after receiving vital information regarding the incident. Camilo knowledge of the due process system is so outstanding and remarkable. I was really impressed with his presence in the courtroom and other felt it too. I was able to retain my driving privileges without it being suspended for one day and all charges against me were acquitted. I strongly recommend Camilo for his representation and confidence in the courtroom.
