I have 22 years experience with DUI/DWI cases. Being arrested for a DUI/DWI is very stressful. I will make it easier for you to get back to your job and your family. Call within 10 days of your arrest so I can set your DMV hearing to save your license. Call for a free consultation today. My fees are reasonable and I take monthly payments. Call (760) 643-4020.

Good job

Susan was very supportive and always kept me informed about my case. She obviously has a great relationship with the court staff. She was able to get me a great deal on my case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
