Joshua James Price

A DUI is not a joke, and you feel at your worst. Right after I was arrested for a DUI, I started searching for attorneys with experiences that pertained to my situation. I was recommended some, and I had a few selections as well, but I decided to select and hire Joshua as I read very great reviews ab...out him. I also went into his website: https://www.defendingrights.com/ where he has an easy breakdown of DUI information and outcomes. Let me say I couldn’t have asked for better representation than him and his team. From first contact, Joshua made sure I knew he had my back. Communication was a key element as they are very quick to follow up and give you all the updates you need. Joshua is very knowledgeable, knew what he was doing, and he represented me in the court and in the DMV throughout the process. Here are some of the facts of my case that highlight Joshua’s commitment and work dedication: Joshua’s expertise made it possible for me to be granted the military diversion program by the court and my DUI case was dismissed upon completion of the program. Joshua won my DMV case and I was able to keep my DL without suspension. All I can say to him, and his team is thank you! Reach out to him and seek his service. You won’t be disappointed.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! SAVED MY CAREER!!! After the horrible decision I made in March 2021, I was referred to Mr. Price and Defending Rights Law Center. From the first time I reached out to Mr. Price and his team they were nothing but personable and professional. Mr. Price and his team helped put me at e...ase and clearly explained the steps I need to take in order to help rectify the situation. They coached me through step by step on what I should be doing proactively to prepare myself. I felt confident in the steps he was sharing after talking with others who have been through this same situation and a common remark from them was, “ My attorney didn’t tell me that!” I was confident that Mr. Price was willing to fight for me, and I knew he knew what he was doing. In March of 2021, I was charged with my first offense DUI with a .23% Blood Alcohol Level and Hit and Run. After being taken to the Sherriff station the officers obtained a warrant to draw my blood after I refused the blood draw. I was charged with a Refusal at DMV, and was facing a one year hard suspension of my license. Through being proactive and following the steps Mr. Price suggested and working closely with his Paralegal, Amanda, I was able to work out a plea deal where you only had to do the 3 month class instead of the 9 month class with 3 years of probation instead of 5 and got you the bare minimum punishment possible for a DUI with the Hit and Run charge dismissed and no refusal. On top of that he was able to WIN THE REFUSAL and DMV set it aside and I was able to get a restricted license. He advised we pay to subpoena the arresting officer and over the course of two hearings, Mr. Price was able to point out issues with the arresting officer’s procedures and show the DMV Hearing Officer that the steps missed rendered this case not a Refusal. Luckily, the DMV Hearing Officer agreed! Had we not brought in the arresting officer, we would have 100% lost. Without Mr. Price and the Defending Rights Law Center, I am confident I would have lost my career and would be back in the job market. The way Mr. Price presented the case and his thorough knowledge of the law he was help save me. I highly recommend the DEFENDING RIGHTS LAW CENTER.

I was arrested for DUI without ever driving a vehicle! Josh Price was hired based on his impeccable track record and long tenure in his field. Josh (and his office staff) were very hands on, straight to the point (no BS), and didn't sugarcoat the possible outcomes from the start. Josh and his team ...were able to get my case dropped in both courts (DMV and Court) by presenting the facts and understanding the law. I highly recommend Josh Price for the reasons listed above. Rightfully so, DUI's can destroy lives, relationships and one self worth - don't let a false charge against you momentarily ruin your life. I would highly recommend Josh Price for any DUI case, even if you were under the influence and in the wrong Josh will ensure your rights are defended.

Just like a lot of people, I never imagined I’d get arrested, find myself in jail, or being charged with a DUI. I had a horrible lapse of judgment as I drove 3 blocks with a BAC of .26%. On top of this awful mistake, I did not make things easy for myself or for Mr. Price as I refused to submit to a c...hemical breath and blood DUI test. At the police station, the arresting officer procured a warrant to draw my blood. Subsequently, I was additionally charged with refusal to submit to alcohol testing with the DMV. This carries an automatic 1-year hard suspension of my driver license. When I got home from my night in jail, I immediately started Googling and researching “the best DUI attorneys in San Diego.” I read reviews and asked for attorney recommendations from a few people I knew who had been charged with a DUI. I called and spoke to several DUI attorneys, but I but was not sure who to go with. A friend connected me to a former San Diego District Attorney so I could get a sense of what to expect during the arduous process, get a little advice and find out who he considers are the best DUI attorneys in San Diego. He told me that if he or any of his friends or family got a DUI that there was only one attorney who he would call or recommend; Mr. Price. I researched Mr. Price and subsequently made an appointment with him. That was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. During our initial call, Mr. Price was meticulous in gathering pertinent information by walking me through the night of my arrest and hearing my perspective of what occurred. I really appreciated his attention to detail as well as his non-judgmental attitude, as I was embarrassed and down on myself regarding my DUI. Mr. Price clearly explained to me how he would handle my case. He laid out possible outcomes, giving me the best-and worst-case scenarios. I also appreciated that Mr. Price is a straight shooter who didn’t sugar coat the gravity of my situation. He gave me the honest to God truth and is realistic of what he believes he can do for you (and he most likely will overachieve what he tells you). With Mr. Price’s dedication and knowledge of the law, he was able to work out a fantastic plea deal for me. My enhanced BAC of .26% was reduced to .19%. I only had to take the mandatory DUI classes for 3 months instead of the typical 9 months. I was given 3 years of probation instead of the 5 years the DA asked for. I didn’t have to wear an ankle bracelet or put a breathalyzer in my vehicle. Mr. Price worked hard to get me the bare minimum punishment possible for a DUI. On top of that, he was able to WIN THE REFUSAL with the DMV hearing officer setting aside the action. My driving privileges were restored and was able to get a restricted license for only 4 months. I can’t praise Mr. Price and Amanda enough for all of their help throughout the entire process. Whenever there were any updates regarding my case, they were prompt in contacting me. Anytime I had questions, they both responded quickly. They were essentially available whenever I needed them. With so much going on with the courts and DMV right now, it was assuring to have both of them in my corner fighting until the end. Give them a call and see for yourself. You won’t regret it.

Summer of 2020, months after the world shut down due to Covid-19, I experienced my first DUI. I am still humbled by the day, and my poor choice to get into my car and think that I was okay to drive. I will begin by saying that I am so grateful that I did not get hurt, or hurt someone else. I did ...not need to research a DUI attorney. I called a friend who I knew had gone through a very stressful, extreme case with his DUI. He turned to Josh Price, based off a referral from someone else, years earlier that we both know as well. I had remembered a few years back, how my friend spoke so highly of "his attorney." His case worked out amazing, and so I didn't even second guess my choice to reach out and get Josh Price's information. For a first time offense, I had a few factors with my case that were very stressful. My BAC was a .30, after the blood work came back. I had zero food on board that day, had only two cups of strong coffee and drank hard alcohol, which I never do. I struck a parked car, that thank God, nobody was even so much as sitting in. It was a residential area, and I panicked. I got turned around and realized I needed to stop and get parked. I was pulled over, and the rest was surreal. I reached out to Josh Price the next day, sad and embarrassed to try and remember the details, which I felt like I was in total shock doing so. Josh took my case on and from here, I will address my experience with how me and my case were both treated. From the beginning of my experience, I was not only treated so respectfully, and the professionalism was incredible. Both Josh, and Amanda, his paralegal, should get "tips" for their kind listening skills and almost therapist type virtues. They never once made me feel "judged," which was so appreciated. They guided me with suggestions and possible worst case scenarios, to least. With my case, my fear was the fact that I drove a short distance away from the car that I struck. I was so scared that things could escalate to a hit and run. Josh was firm, but down to earth. I had friends ask why I paid an attorney, and I believe they thought I got one, thinking I was going to get of of a DUI. This was so far from it! I wanted to make sure I did everything I needed to do right. It was covid, and I wanted to have nothing slip through the cracks so to speak. I did not think I was going to get out of a DUI. I made a poor choice, and the BAC was evidence, yet having Josh Price guide me through the whole process made things feel right. End result, I did everything with the time I had to wait, due to everything being pushed out due to covid. SMART meetings, MADD, and a number of other suggestions. Josh showed up on my behalf and was always quick to answer his phone personally, as Amanda did as well. He got the DMV to drop the hit and run, I got ordered to do a DUI program of course, but no alcohol monitoring orders, even with the high BAC. Both Josh and Amanda were available to answer any questions I had, and they educated me on so many levels of what I needed to be mindful of with moving forward with my life following this event. Two things stand out for me through this entire experience, which are the following; Josh has paperwork that you fill out when you become a client. The last question asks you, "what is your hope for the outcome of your case?" The other is MADD, my takeaway is that there really is no excuse to drink and drive. The answer to Josh's paperwork, to this day is still the same. I wanted the outcome to be for my highest good. I made a choice that the result was a DUI. It was humbling, and scary for me. I took it serious, and once again am so grateful nobody got hurt. MADD, again... in my case, I have the power of choice to remember there is no excuse to drink and drive. Thank you Josh and Ama
