Replied last December 13, 2016I was able to convince the DA's Office not to file charges against this client. This client got the best result possible - no charges were ever filed. When a case is not filed it is not in court, therefore I did not go to court since the case was not there to appear on. When this client called about getting the arrest taken off his/her record I explained that the process is called a motion for factual innocence. This process requires gathering statements from witnesses, writing a motion and having a hearing to prove to a Judge that the client was factually innocent. I have successfully prosecuted this type of motion and it takes about 20-30 hours to accomplish. So I quoted the client the price that I charge to do such work. I have no idea why this person is upset since he/she got the best possible outcome.

"Mr. Pearlman has shown as a member of the National College for DUI Defense that he is committed to providing cutting edge DUI defense. The National DUI College members represent the most experienced DUI defense attorneys in the country. If you are charged with a DUI, a general practice lawyer is not the answer. Good DUI defense is hard work and few offenses in our court system call for greater attorney expertise than cases involving driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. DUI cases are especially complex because they require defense counsel to understand BOTH scientific and legal issues. As a fellow member of the College, if you are looking for exceptional representation, I would not hesitate to recommend Adam Pearlman"
