Best DUI attorney around

I was arrested for driving under the influence in January of 2018. The first thing I did when I was released from jail was get on the web and look up reviews for San Diego’s best DUI attorneys. Josh’s reviews were terrific. I heard nothing but good things about the whole process of working with josh ...from yelp and other review websites. I called him immediately and he had me come down to his office that day! He explained to me honestly what he thought about my case and the possibilities he saw in the outcome. Once I decided to hire him the process started. The DA was not willing to offer any sort of plea bargain. So nearly 6 months later josh made sure it was 100% my choice and we went to trail. Josh was amazing and the experts he hired were extremely intelligent and forthcoming about the fact that just because my blood alc was reported .11 didn’t mean it actually was. The portable breathalyzer had been taken out of service a week before because of innacurate readings. The trail was nerve racking but Josh was with me the whole way through. We ended up with a hung jury 10-2. This was great news! At the next hearing josh was able to get a plea bargain for a wet and reckless! With .11 blood BAC this is almost unheard of. I still have to do the alcohol program but so far I’m still driving. I would highly recommend Joshua Price as your DUI Attorney. He is extremely competent and professional. Thanks Josh!

Clear and Direct / Thanks for your help Mr. Price!!

Thank God, for your Love & Mercy! And thank you, Mr. Price, because I witnessed how hard you fought in my case. Mr. Price will not give you false promises; he is courteous and respectful but clear and direct. After visiting three or four of the most "popular/renowned" attorneys in the area, ...I met Mr. Price at his office; he was very kind and explained in detail the charges against me, as well as the possible consequences. He never promised anything, other than his commitment to fight for the best of my benefit and he accomplished his words. Mr. Price is worth every penny! Below some facts of the case: charged with a first DUI offense with .16% blood alcohol level and .14/.15% Portable Breath Test results. After many court appearances, we decided to "file a motion to suppress evidence" to try to get the blood evidence suppressed. Mr. Price was able to win the motion and the Judge agreed that the seizure of the blood was in violation of the 4th Amendment and she suppressed the results which ended up in a dismissal of the Blood evidence charge! Unfortunately, I still had the charge of the Portable Breath Test, but Mr. Price let me know that our position to win within a "Jury trial" had improved considerably. At the end of the day he let me choose between going to a jury trial to get the whole case dismissed or fighting for a wet and reckless "wet reckless" to which I decided to fight for the wet reckless. Believe me it wasn't easy. Initially the WET was not granted but Mr. Price used all his resources and in a second instance and appearance in court, he finally could achieve the WET, which was a great outcome for me! I am sure if we had gone to trial we would have won it thanks to God and the good work, courage and reputation of Attorney Price, but after several months of waiting throughout the process I believe I took the best decision. I also want to thank his assistance Amanda who always kept me informed and answered all my questions to this day. Hope my review can help you as other reviews helped me during those difficult days of uncertainty! keep the faith and stay strong.

Total Dismissal of Drug and Alcohol DUI

In February 2018, I was arrested for driving under the influence and a blood test came back positive for cannabis. My criminal history isn’t too great – I’m a “super striker” and had a recent felony conviction that I’d gotten probation. Looking at my history, no DA was going to cut me any slack and... the super striker status means any jail time gets automatically doubled. I was referred to Joshua Price by another attorney who didn’t want my case and said he was the best. I wanted him to delay the case as long as possible and he was very successful – trial was originally scheduled for August 2018 and it was postponed until April 2019. Not great for him because he made numerous trips to the Vista courthouse but great for me because I didn’t attend anything other than the Preliminary hearing. I was given both a breathalyzer and a blood test and he filed a Motion to Suppress the blood test and won! That meant we no longer had to deal the cannabis and only had to fight the DUI. At the preliminary hearing, he managed to get the cop to say “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember” multiple times and was clearly respected – even congratulated on his performance by another attorney. The final result? A TOTAL DISMISSAL OF CHARGES. To say I was shocked with the outcome is an understatement. Because of my history, some of the other attorneys I originally contacted wanted more for a retainer than a DUI would have cost. While not cheap, Mr. Price was worth every penny and he earned it. He put a lot of hours and thought into my case. Also, because this is all he does, he’s truly an expert and that was clear in all our actions. He just knows more about this area of law than anyone else in the room. Throughout the process, he was respectful, responsive, and always kept me informed. I’ve had the unfortunate opportunity to work with a number of different lawyers and Mr. Price is one of the best. I recommend him without reservation!

DUI with a .117% BAC reduced to a WET

On August 2018 I made a decision to drive home after drinking at work event. I did not allow myself enough time to metabolize the alcohol in my system before I elected to drive. I was subsequently pulled over by CHP (one mile from my destination). I was compliant in my whole interaction with CHP, bu...t being unfamiliar scenarios like this, it’s very difficult to know what tests you could refuse to take. I was eventually placed under arrest, and taken down town where I elected to submit to a blood test. I charged with two counts of DUI with a BAC of .117 and spend a night in jail. After I posted bail, I immediately got on the web and searched for lawyers in San Diego. I stumbled upon Joshua Price’s page and started reading his reviews. Mr. Price’s reviews depicted his client interaction as genuine, informative, reassuring, and included very positive court results. Reaching out to Joshua Price and his law office was the best decision I made. These are the points that stand out during the course of my case: • Very accessible and timely • Outlined clear instructions and timeline to prepare my case • Realistic expectations and outcomes • Price competitively for pre-trial and trial work • Supportive and knowledge office staff (Amanda) We were looking at an uphill battle with my case, as my incident was almost a perfect textbook example of a DUI stop. Mr. Price was realistic and upfront with me as he outlined my options. Getting the case dismissed on a technicality or prior to trial was not likely. Fighting the case in trial would at best leave me with a 50/50 shot in either getting both counts dismissed or being convicted on both counts. We elected to submit a plea and see if we could get the charges dropped down to a WET. After a few back and forts with the DA and the court we were able to get my plea deal accepted. I ended up getting: • WET with a .117 BAC • My fine reduced by $500 for my time served in jail • 3 years’ probation • 3 month DUI first offender program Amanda Jew provided me with clear and concise information so I could apply for a restricted license and enroll into my DUI program. We were able to time my driving suspension around our holiday break to minimize the time I would be without my car. By the time I could apply for a restricted license, I was able to enroll into my 3-month program, and get the official results from the court. Mr. Price and his team where instrumental in making this chaotic time in my life easier to navigate. I intend to work with his office when I become eligible to expunge record. I highly recommend Mr. Price and his office should you find yourself facing DUI/DWI charges.

prescription DUIs

Joshua Price and his assistant Amanda were a real blessing for me in a time of great difficulty. Mr. Price was always available to talk with me regarding my cases (4 prescription med DUIs within 6 months, including collisions), and advise me. He handled everything professionally and with great exper...tise and skill. I never had to go to court or to the DMV hearings and he or Amanda contacted me straight away to inform me the outcome - which was always favorable. I did not get a felony and did not have to go to jail (only home detention). Just DUI classes, pay a fine, and MADD class. He even reduced his fee since I was wracking up so many cases in a short period. (had an addiction issue) Joshua Price is not only an excellent attorney who delivers wondrous outcomes, but is super easy to talk with since he really cares about his clients. Highly recommend!
