Saved my license!

Mr. Brodsky represented me on a DUI charge. At the end all worked out well for my case, and I was very happy with his services and the result. I didn't even know that I had only 10 days from the date of my DUI arrest to call the DMV to try and save my license. Exceptional attorney. I would recommend ...him to anyone. You definitely need to have an experienced lawyer on your side if you find yourself facing a DUI.

Best Criminal Defense Attorney in Murrieta!

Stephen, I can’t thank you enough for helping to get my son out of the trouble he got himself into the other year while in Murrieta, California. My son got stopped for his 2nd DUI offense and I knew we were in trouble and needed a real good lawyer to help us get out of this mess. From my very first... meeting with him I felt completely at ease, he made me feel safe, that I was in good hands and he knew what he was doing and would help me through the situation. Through every step of the way, I was taken such good care of. Whenever I had a question I would receive an answer right away, whether by email or phone. During the whole process I was able to be calm and didn’t endure any unnecessary stress, due to the fact that I knew Stephen was taking care of it and there wouldn’t be any surprises along the way. Mr. Brodsky and his staff offer top quality service and I highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a criminal defense attorney.

I thought I was going to jail

I met with Mr. Brodsky after getting a second time DUI after being convicted and on probation of my first in 2010. It was in the same courthouse and I was looking at a parole violation and a new case. I was extremely broke after dealing with my first case and having to bail out of custody again. Brod...sky was able to keep me from going back to jail and also worked with me in regards to my finances. Without Stephen Brodsky I would have no choice but to plead guilty with a public defender and be convicted of yet another DUI which would have destroyed my life and career. No other law firm would even listen to my story because of my financial situation, but Mr. Stephen Brodsky not only took the time but helped me get the result I needed.

So Thankful!

I am so thankful I found Mr. Stephen Brodsky to represent me for the 1st time DUI defense. From the moment I called him which was early on a Saturday morning, he personally answered my phone call and went out of his way to meet me during the holiday season over a weekend. I was frantic and scared as ...this was my first offense and I am a working professional who has never had so much as a traffic ticket. Mr. Brodsky put me at ease immediately with his calm demeanor. He is highly knowledgable and has an amazing staff who respond promptly to call or emails and they stay in constant contact and communication with me taking much care in explaining what to expect. I never fell like I don't know what my next step is. Mr. Brodsky and his staff have guided me through this whole process with much care and consideration. I feel Mr. Brodsky and his team genuinely care. Mr. Brodsky offers 1st class services and I would highly recommend him to any of my family, friends or anyone in need of a top notch defense team.

Saved My LIfe

Mr. Brodsky's office was so helpful in helping me dealing with my 2nd time DUI. They came up with strategies and evidence I would have never even imagined. He brought in an evaluator, and an expert right away. I thought for sure I was f'd, but Stephen was able to convince the das not to give me any j...ail time and allowed me to seek a road for recovery. I was not going to use him because there are much cheeper attorneys that said they would handle my case for close to nothing. Honestly, this was the best money I ever spent. I never go out of my way to praise anyone ever, but he ineravertly saved my life in more ways the one. Thank you! :)
