Amazing DUI Attorney
Mr. Tucci was referred to me by another attorney after I got myself into a pretty serious situation. Mr. Tucci is extremely confident in his abilities and tells you like it is but he does exactly what he says he's going to do. He is straight forward and sometimes brash, but made me feel like I was re...

Dismissed, Dismissed, Dismissed
My son received 3 serious non- DUI criminal charges that were trumped up. We had actually hired another attorney and realized he was not aggressive enough to aim for a total dismissal. We went to Tucci and it's the best thing we ever did! I highly recommend him, he's tough as nails, a great negoti...

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Vince for about ten years and have found him to be an extremely hard worker and dedicated attorney. I have done about 200 DUI trials but I found myself learning from Vince even from the beginning, when he started as an attorney. He seems to have a "natural" disposition for creative ideas in defending his clients. I have copied alot of his ideas/tricks and use them for my own cases in the Sacramento area. He is the "best of the best" in the area of DUI/DMV law and I have referred several clients to him and have received raves reviews from those people after Mr. Tucci has handled their cases."
"I endorse this lawyer. This lawyer's contributions to this site are invaluable. I happily endorse this lawyer's work, ability and charity to those asking for advice. Further, I like to endorse good lawyers, because I find the AVVO rating system to be dishonest and corrupt. Frequently, disgruntled litigants on the opposing side (not your clients) will bash a lawyer on this site, pretending to be "your" client. When this situation is brought to AVVO attention, Avvo refuses to do anything to investigate and remove the false, slanderous "client" reviews. AVVO is a mean petty internet blog site trying to make money off of lawyers, and does not care if the public receives truthful information."
