Posted by David | March 28, 2013 | DUI & DWI

Personable, Effective, Accessible

During a time when most people under similar circumstances go through some of the most agonizing stress in their lives, I was fortunate enough to have had Mr. Hong in my corner. It was my first DUI and I obviously had no familiarity about the situation, so it was very unnerving and stressful. Once ...the dust settled and it was time for me to hire an attorney, I cold called around a number of law offices without really feeling confident in any of the responses I was receiving. After asking around for recommendations from friends, a number of them advised me to contact Mr. Hong. After a brief phone conversation, we met in person for a consultation. He was not only friendly and comfortable to talk to, but he also was very thorough in explaining to me what I needed to do and set everything up in a convenient matter that reached a resolution that was very satisfactory to my expectations. He was responsive and easy to keep in contact with and was extremely knowledgeable about criminal defense and especially DUI's. I was able to avoid jail time but more importantly, Mr. Hong was able to put me at ease with the situation and gave me peace of mind. I would highly recommend Mr. Hong to anyone going through a similar ordeal and to those who need legal counsel for any other reason. It was a painless and reassuring experience!

"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Jay for about six years as a Public Defender and routinely sought him out for his knowledge and advice. Jay is passionate about his cases and truly cares about his clients. There are no hopeless cases with Jay. I have seen him try cases other attorneys labeled "dead bang losers" - and come back with a hung jury. Whether you have a great case, or if you are ridiculously guilty, Jay is the attorney for you."

"I worked with Jay for around 6 years while we were both deputy public defenders in Riverside County. Jay is a tireless advocate for his clients and he works incredibly hard to get great results. But it's not just that Jay truly has the heart of a criminal defense attorney, which to me means that he is a protector of the constitution and a counselor to people at the worst moment in their lives, he is also a brilliant individual with intelligence that surpasses many of his peers. I highly endorse Jay for any type of criminal case, but he truly excels in DUI cases and destroying the prosecution's supposed experts. Hiring Jay is always a great idea!"
