AMAZING DUI LAWYER

When I got my DUI, it was the worst night of my life. I was so stressed about how I was going to handle the situation. We hired John Sommers that following week and he took care of absolutely everything. He went to court for me, got me out of community service, reduced my charge and kept me well info...rmed throughout the entire process. I would recommend him for anyone going through any legal issues. He really was amazing.

Great guy! And an excellent lawyer! #1 no doubt

I recently got into a dui problem and once I informed John H. About my issue , he told me not to worry and explained everything to me . He knows he's stuff , and if you ever get into any problems with the law , he is the lawyer to call!!! Passed my case just in one court date! Even before my cour...t date I was relieved also I stopped stressing over it, specially with what he promised. He kept he's word and YES! Dui was dismissed to a lower charge ! And yes I still have my license ! Highly recommended you call JOhn for all your problems with the law! #thnx John! If I ever have any other problems your the mang I'll call !

DUI reduced to lesser charge - great result!

I was arrested for D.U.I...due to the circumstances of my arrest (I refused the breathalyzer), the prosecutor initially wanted 2 days in jail, and to suspend my license for one year. John got the charge reduced to reckless driving, which meant no license suspension! I just had to pay a small fine a...nd take an alcohol education class. I recommend John to anyone charged with D.U.I., he is very knowledgeable, knows all the prosecutors, and he explained exactly what he was doing at every step of the process. He answered all my questions, and didn't charge me nearly as much as some other defense lawyers wanted. Don't plead guilty, hire John and let him work his magic.

Highly Qualified Lawyer

If you are looking for an excellent attorney - John Sommers is the best. The proof and reality of the matter is when selecting a DUI attorney you not only need an expert to provide guidance and alternatives, but more importantly, a compassionate professional who understands the difficult and emotiona...l circumstances you are experiencing with your arrest. You feel bad? John understands your predicament and helps by explaining the best course of action based circumstances. The most important value you get from John is that he has relationships in court. When it comes down to a plea or a certain strategy to employ, John has the relationships with the DAs in the greater Los Angeles area which helps reduce or eliminate the charges you face. In my case, I was facing DUI. Then, John helped negotiate a "wet" reckless. Then, John finally negotiated a "dry" reckless which is next to dismissal. John has those type of relations at court. What you need to understand in a court case, lawyers must work with other attorneys. John knows all the DAs and judges and that is his value differentiation and proposition, which will help you. Most lawyers will tell you to settle and plea. Then, try to get you off their plate asap so they can move-on to the next client. Not John. John works for you, returns emails and calls timely! John attended UCLA, one of the best schools in the country. He is smart, respectful, technical, and a friend. If you are in tight spot with your DUI, choose John. I did and he was great.
