when I thought my life was over

I didnt know what to do when I got this dui, i was in a car wreck , I thought my life was over, I was facing a felony DUI with a BAC .15 ,and out of nowhere i found this crew ,Alicia and Carmen. they made me feel like I was at home and always told me not to worry and that it would be there job t...o worry for me , they always were on top of things , they would always let know when they would move forward on some thing or have heard something new to the case , with all there fighting they were able to drop it down to a first time DUI with a BAC .14 a small fine and a 3 month class . living in orange county and not in sandiego it was a pleasure never seeing a court room .from the DMV case to the last day in court they even requested for me a phone in payment and assessment , if you asked me who I would recommend on the thing I was facing with 2 DUI from my past it would be this crew , this law firm. Thank you guys..........

Fantastic Lawyer. Better Than I Hoped For.

I had been a client of Alisha's law firm a number of years prior. I ran into some new confusing problems that pertained to my original case and contacted the firm for information. I had been arrested for reasons and I wasn't sure as to why. Alisha immediately began researching for me, getting back... to me that same day as a courtesy to me, being a former client. I really appreciated that, since run ins with the law often make you feel helpless in knowing what to do. Within one day, she had collected all the pertinent information regarding my case, let me know what had happened and what a correct course of action I should take. That really impressed me. But then, she and her colleagues actually decided to represent my case free of charge. I couldn't believe it, that she and her colleagues would take such care for a former client. That's more than just business and you can't put a price tag on something like that. Not only did they agree to represent me for free, they actually got all of the charges against me dropped. How could you ask for a better lawyer than that? Alisha Wood could not have done a better job for me. If I would not have contacted her, I would have found myself convicted and in jail. The charges against me were very serious. The way the police and the state use intimidation, I felt initially that my case was hopeless and I almost gave up immediately. I can't believe I almost didn't contact her. What a horrible mistake that would have been.

DUI case

I was very pleased how Alisha Wood handled my case. It was my first arrest for a DUI and it was a very stressful few days leading up to my meeting with Alisha Wood and the rest of the Casey and Wood team. I was able to explain exactly what happened to me on the evening of my incident so they could gi...ve me an accurate assessment of the potential outcomes. Due to the fact that it was my first offense and my BAC was relatively low(but still above the legal driving limit), they said that there was a possibility for a the judge to rule it down to a wet reckless charge. The key with the entire team was to be proactive on my end so if any documentation or other information was needed from me, I had to be sure to be prompt. This in turn helped them move the case along and meet court and DMV hearings. Alisha specifically put me at ease when I needed to meet in their office to give a recorded statement to my car insurance company regarding the events that led to the arrest. Alisha was there every step of the way to guide me in talking to the adjuster. The judge ruled my case to be a wet reckless. Although I still have to attend DUI classes and pay lesser court fees, I am not responsible for any community service hours. I was very pleased with the Alisha, as well as the entire team at Casey and Wood. Although, I do not wish this process on anyone, I do know that it is a reality and I would highly recommend them if I ever find a friend or family member that has made a poor decision like myself and needs an attorney. In addition, everyone on the team was prompt with me when I sent an email or called them. And they had no problems answering questions or repeating themselves when I was in doubt.

Very lucky to have in your corner fighting for you! Highly recommend!

So I got myself into an unfortunate situation involving drinking and driving (twice the limit), and a car accident with an unoccupied parked vehicle. This was my first offense. After being booked and going to jail I was able to make bail and figured I needed to seek legal counsel to for assistance as... I put my career into serious jeopardy with this issue. I interviewed several attorneys throughout San Diego and all based on recommendations from people who had or knew someone who had a DUI. I wasn't comfortable with any of the interviews I had gone to. A fellow college alumni advised me to contact Casey & Wood and said I wouldn’t be sorry. I contacted the firm and first spoke to one of the associates who provided me with some great information and put my nerves at ease over all the trouble I had dealing with other firms in San Diego regarding my case. I scheduled an appointment at their office to meet with one of the attorneys. I met with Mr. Casey for what was probably about 20 minutes. I provided him with all the information regarding my case and he felt there was a good chance at possibly lessening some charges but of course no promises were made. I was told the fee I would be charged if I decided to hire them as my legal counsel. I wasn’t focused so much on the fee I was being charged as I felt it was very reasonable and again my experience with them over the phone was most assuring and pleasant. Also meeting Mr. Casey in person, I really appreciated that he didn't make false promises, he gave it to me straight which is really what I wanted, needed and appreciated hearing. Ever since I retained Casey & Wood, their office has been the best resource and guide for me throughout the whole ordeal. I have some understanding of how the legal process works I know things don’t happen overnight and ultimately they wouldn’t hear much from me unless they needed me to do something. If I was called or emailed I would be in touch immediately and do whatever was asked as quickly as possible. They made me feel like I was their first priority so I wanted to return the favor and I made myself available to do whatever was asked of me. Again, I really felt like the entire office cared about me and my case. With all their hard work they wrapped up my case quickly and were able to secure a very good deal on my behalf. I am beyond happy that they were able to do this especially with the holidays fast approaching and the new year coming up. This quote below I feel expresses and summarizes what this law firm has done for me. (“If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.” — Mary Pickford) Casey & Wood, LLP helped bring me up after I had a bad fall. The entire office did an excellent job on helping me with my case, they exceeded all expectations. I appreciate everything they did for me. I cannot reiterate how much Casey & Wood, LLP has helped me through this ordeal. I give them my highest recommendation. If you or your family and or friends are facing criminal charges, please don’t hesitate for a moment and secure the best possible legal counsel that you can. Casey & Wood, LLP has the experience, track record and reputation as the best for a reason.

Best DUI Attorney in San Diego!

I could not be more happy with the service Casey and Wood provided me! I had Ms. Alisha Wood, Ms. Courtney Reimers and Ms. Lauren Angelos working with me and making sure I was well informed during the entire process. Anytime I needed them, they were there. They did very well at promptly responding to... emails and calls. After retaining them, they pretty much did everything for me! I never went to court. The outcome was so much better than I ever imagined it would be. They let me know when the court dates were and I received an email the same day explaining what happened in detail and if I needed to do anything. If you are looking for a DUI attorney, you can stop looking now, you found the best. I would recommend Ms. Wood, Ms. Reimer, and Ms. Angelos to anyone!
