Spencer J Salcido

I hired Benny (Spencer) Salcido in 2015/2016 to help with my DUI case. I was given a "refusal to blow into the breathalyzer" even though I did blow into the breathalyzer once, and it pulled a reading, but wasn't deemed satisfactory. Their was an obvious and clear abuse of police power that can be see...n from the dash-cam videos of my arrest. Not only did Benny (Spencer) not push to have the refusal to blow dropped, literally the only thing that he was able to "consult" for me was changing the community service requirements to wearing an ankle monitor instead. I'm not sure why community service would have ever been part of the agreement in the first place, if I can't drive, how am I supposed to get to community service? Benny (Spencer) frequently ignored my emails and phone calls for weeks at a time, and I was hardly ever updated on my case. He claimed he took it to the attorney general, but I honestly don't really believe that. So, after the $5,000 dollars I spent on Spencer, I still received an 18 month revocation of my license, an ankle monitor, fines like crazy, a drunk-driving course, and now that I have finally have my license back, I still have over a year with a breathalyzer on my car. For a first time DUI, where I didn't blow too much over the legal limit, this is ridiculous. If I hadn't hired Spencer, I probably could have negotiated the exact same outcome. To Spencer's credit, when I got the DUI I was frantic, and hired the first DUI attorney who would answer the phone, so that is on me for not doing my due diligence. I absolutely would not recommend hiring Spencer, especially if you have a unique case. If you want someone to just push you through the system and not truly fight for what is in the best interest of their client, then he is your guy.
