Amazing DUI attorney

Jesse negotiated a very good outcome for my dui cases. I was facing 2nd and 3rd duis in Orange and Riverside county. He got me no jail time in both cases. Also charged a very reasonable retainer.

A great lawyer someone who cares about his clients

I hired Jesse for my felony case here in San Diego and it was great. He communicated with me throughout the entire case. I got to talk to him directly. He negotiated really hard and got me an amazing deal. No jail time whatsoever. Super happy I hired him.

The best DUI lawyer in San Diego

I did something that was out of my character and I drove drunk. It was wrong and I was very worried. I started asking people which lawyer I should hire. I have a friend who is a former cop and he told me Jesse Adriance had cross examined him in a hearing before and kind of (without saying it directly...) made him look like a fool. I wanted to talk to Jesse then but I kept asking other people. We know a retired Judge in the family who we asked to ask around and a week later he came back to us with two names and Jesse was one of them. We realized this was no a coincidence and I gave him a call. I went to his office and I could tell that he was a fighter. My case was a tough one. Three other lawyers told me I had to plead guilty but Jesse told me that he would he could beat this thing. We ended up setting the case for trial which I believed was in my best interest. At trial Jesse cross examined every witness and made them look like a a complete fool. The jury hated all of them after he was done with them. Long story short I was found not guilty on all counts. I owe him everything. He was the only one that believed in me and he was able to make this happen. Now I can see why he is so exclusive and has such a great reputation in San Diego. I will be a client for life.

Great DUI attorney

Mr. Alan is an amazing attorney as well as caring and understanding. He was able to get my charges reduced as well as drop one charge. Not only did he do that, he also helped me dealing with Board of Nursing as well as the Board of Pharmacy. I dropped the ball once, and Mr Alan had my back and took c...are of me. I highly recommend Mr Alan if your looking for an attorney

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.
