Criminal Defense

At first I was questioned in regards to a pending felony. I had not been charged yet and thought I would need a lawyer. After doing some research, I choose Jeffrey as my lawyer. He was a great lawyer. He managed the case from pending to being charged. He kept me informed every step of the way. Hi...s knowledge of the system helped me to get the felony charged reduced to a misdemeanor. He contacted me any time there was new information or change in the case. He is very prompt at returning calls. He is very professional and will fight for the best optimal outcome and works at getting the best possible result for his clients. I would recommend him for anyone facing a criminal charge. Although I did not get a full acquittal, the end result was good and I saw no jail time and was able to keep all my rights as a citizen. Jeffery is a great lawyer with the utmost professional and knows how to use the system to his client's advantage and has an execution plan on how to handle the case and he always ensure's the client is on the same page. 5 out of 5

DUI genius!

Bullard got my DUI all the way down to a dry reckless which is pretty amazing. He was professional and went the extra mile. I would recommend him to anyone with an DUI or a problem with the law.

Mr. Bullard

Contacted Mr. Bullard while I was living in a different country due to work, regarding a warrant. The word Professional has Mr. Bullards name written all over it. From the first email I had sent, to phone calls an returning emails, never once was did I have second thoughts of paying someone I had nev...er met to handle a case thousands of miles away, he walked me through from start to finish what was going to happen in our initial conversation and he followed up with keeping his word. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again if ever a future case was to arise! By far the most professional and respected attorney I've had to deal with. If you're looking to hire a attorney, do not pass this one up.

Straightforward, good communication, and fair fees

I hired Jeffrey Bullard for a first offense DUI. I was stopped in 2015 and charged with a BAC above the limit. This was first time going through any sort of legal process. After researching online on how to select a lawyer I searched for a couple of lawyers in the San Bernardino area that worked w...ith DUI cases and also offered free consultations. I actually found Mr. Bullard on Avvo through a google search of DUI lawyers in San Bernardino. I selected Mr. Bullard since I was able to meet directly with him during initial consultation and was very approachable. While the other firms I contacted also covered some of the same considerations for my case (like knowledge of specific court for your case and particulars of my stop), Mr. Bullard met directly with with me. Some of the other firms I contacted did an initial phone call and general review. Mr. Bullard provided rough breakdown and approach for my case during my initial consultation. He was familiar with the court my case would be handled (San Bernardino) and persons who would review my case. No lawyer will make a guarantee on case outcome and Mr. Bullard was always straightforward. Scope of work and fees I thought were fair. Mr. Bullard is with Bullard and Powell so my case was also looked at by Sarah Powell. My case did not need to go to court and the outcome was much better than I had expected. Mr. Bullard and Ms. Powell did an excellent job and were able to save my license and lower fines. I credit their knowledge of the court my case was worked on in helping me obtain the best outcome. I greatly appreciated the communication and updates on my case, be it a voicemail or replies to my e-mails on questions on effects of my case at work. I highly recommend Mr. Bullard and Bullard and Powell firm for first time DUI pre-trial work. They are straightforward, have regular communication, and fair fees. My recommendations to those going through a similar situation is to go for the free initial consultations with a couple of lawyers if you are on the fence on whether to hire a lawyer or not. I was concerned on spending a lot of money on something I did not think I could even get a good outcome. Considering the effects it would have on my work and life, it was well worth it to go for a better outcome. From the consultation I found I could work with Mr. Bullard and he helped me through a difficult time.

Jeffery was such a great attorney for me. He was there for every question I had in concert to my case. He handled all of my dmv problems without me and always knew what was going on with my case. He got me the best possible outcome for my case. All around it was great to have him as my attorney. I hi...ghly suggest him for any DUI cases

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.
