Great Attorney
Eloy, is a great attorney. We consulted with him and several other attorneys on a DUI case.

We just settled the case today (the best outcome of a bad situation) and he guided us through...

I, like many of his clients, endorse Mr. Trujillo without reservation."
"I endorse Eloy. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer because of superior knowledge of blood analysis and breath machines that are commonly used in DUI cases. This knowledge makes Eloy one of the very few attorneys, not only in the Bay Area but in the State of California, that can take a losing case and turn it into an acquittal. I know all of the great DUI lawyers in California as the current President of the California DUI Lawyers Association, and Eloy stands out from the entire membership, so if you end up in his office looking for a lawyer to represent you in a DUI case, don't go any further, just hire Eloy, and do it now!!!!"

"I endorse this lawyer."
"Eloy is a skilled & efficient courtroom advocate, an excellent writer, hardworking, and always puts his clients first. He is on my short list of criminal defense appellate and DUI trial lawyers I would call for advice on a complex legal issue. Anyone who knows Eloy understands that he prepares every case he handles for trial and does not back down to tough judges or DA's. He takes nothing for granted and is one of the few people who takes the time to investigate and research every angle of a case. Despite the intense environment of a criminal courtroom, I find that he is consistently professional with everyone he works with."

"Eloy is an extremely skilled trial attorney. He firmly believes that every criminal case should be defended vigorously, no matter what the charges or facts may be. He makes the prosecution work, and he never rolls over! This results in him obtaining dismissals, not guilty verdicts or very favorable plea agreements for his clients. I absolutely endorse Eloy for any type of criminal case or appeal."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ivan is super intelligent, hardworking and enthusiastic about protecting his client's rights. When I need to run something by another lawyer in who's opinion I trust, I call Ivan. He is very knowledgeable and creative."
"Mr. Trujillo is as sharp as they come. I've seen him take a difficult, confusing situation and cut right through to a quick, effective solution. But in addition to his impressive legal skills, he also brings a positive, confident personality to the table. That's a winning combination that makes Mr. Trujillo a model of the happy warrior. His clients are lucky to have him on their side."
"Eloy is a truly outstanding trial and appellate lawyer. We co-counseled on a complex administrative writ last year and I found him to be well-prepared, intelligent and a truly gifted advocate for his clients. I do not hesitate to refer DUI/criminal defense matters to him, and do so on a regular basis."
