Experienced professional

I hired Mr. Kish after first time DUI causing 3 injuries, 1 of which was serious. He helped me every step of the way with legal details, timely communication, and a straight forward demeanor. I really appreciated his calming influence during the worst time of my life. I am forever grateful.

Michael Azevedo of Temecula hired me after getting arrested for drunk driving. His blood alcohol level was almost twice the legal limit, but I still won his DMV hearing and saved his driver’s license from being suspended. Then he received the least possible punishment for a first time DUI. Why didn’t you mention that in your rambling post Mike? The real reason you're unhappy with me is because I wouldn’t give you advice about how to obtain an illegal Arizona driver’s license. See Mike, I remember our conversations. Pompous, petty, petulant. Worst client ever. EVER!

Former client

If you are looking for an attorney to defend your DUI, keep looking. I don't think he knows the system very well. On one occasion he gave me bad advice which cost me extra DMV fees and unnecessary time off work. On another occasion, I chose a clerk's advice over his advice and it saved me time and m...oney. The only thing he really did for me was appear in court on my behalf but nothing more. And, he even ended up causing me harm in extra fees and time. Going through the system is hard and frustrating enough without having it aggravated by your attorney giving you bad advice. It cost $1000 for his retainer for, maybe, an hour's worth of work, that's a pretty expensive attorney. He did nothing more for me. I sent him three emails during my whole case and on one email, it took three days for him to respond and on another one, he never responded at all, even after several requests. Not responding to a client's request for information is unprofessional. A DUI defense must be too small of a case for him to work on or he decided he didn't like me and did the absolute minimum work. Either way, I would not recommend him.

Dear Anonymous, I've handled over 400 DUI cases the past 20 years and I'd be happy to hear what the "bad advice" was that I gave you. I also have a policy to respond to every client inquiry within 24 hours. While it's true that I am extremely experienced and handle a wide variety of complex and serious criminal cases, I take every case seriously, including 1st time DUI's, and I strive to give every client and their case the attention they deserve. I am confident that is what occurred in your case.
