The best attorney

Earl Conaway must have graduated at the top of his class I would recommend him to everyone. He is so very sharp and doesnt miss a beat. He worked a case against law enforcement for me and got it all dismissed in my favor. He holds true to his word and is very easy to get along with. Thank you Earl.... You have given me a new opportunity for a fresh start and a good life.

Outstanding Service with Excellent Results

Five Stars Plus! Earl Conaway navigated my case masterfully through the San Luis Obispo Court System resulting in reducing my misdemeanor to a speeding infraction with a much reduced fine. Recently I consulted with him on another matter and everything again was 100% positive. Bottom line, his experi...ence, honesty and integrity are unmatched and you will be glad you hired him to fight your case.

Fantastic Lawyer!

Earl Conaway is a dedicated attorney who goes the extra mile for his clients. He explores all avenues of defense, leaving no stone unturned, no avenue unexplored. And this means that whatever the final result, you can feel confident that it was the best outcome possible under the circumstances surrou...nding your case. Moreover, Earl keeps you informed of all developments in your case, and he is always available to discuss your concerns and answer any questions, which is so important considering being charged with a crime is already stressful enough without being kept in the dark by your attorney. I was arrested and charged for suspicion of driving under the influence and the initial blood results from the crime lab showed a blood alcohol content of 0.09%. It appeared that my goose was cooked and that I would end up with a DMV suspension AND a criminal conviction. But Earl did not simply roll over and advised me to take a deal for a first time DUI, like most attorneys do. No. Instead, he retained his own experts who performed additional testing on my blood sample and they returned with a BAC of 0.07%!!! But he did not stop there. He then subpoenaed all the evidence in my case, including the video of my driving and arrest, and he studied this evidence very closely, identifying every instance where the arresting officer had lied on the police report and poking holes in the prosecution's case. In the end, the DMV set aside my suspension and returned my license, and with their case against me now eviscerated by Earl, the prosecution was reduced to offering me a deal where I would plea to reckless driving, without the presence of alcohol (Dry Reckless), which I accepted. I have no doubt that had I chosen to spend the time and money to go to trial with Earl, we would have prevailed. But I live in Southern California and it simply did not make economic sense for me to push the matter to trial. If you get in trouble and need a skilled advocate, I highly recommend Earl Conaway.

Knowledgeable, Aggressive Attorney

I've seen Mr. Conaway in court numerous times, discussed many cases with him and had the pleasure to see him in trial multiple times. He is very smooth and has a great command of the law. If there is anything that he isn't 100% sure of, he makes it his mission to research the issue to the point of ...mastery. Very impressive.

Earl is the best SLO has to offer!

Mr. Conaway has been an excellent advisor through my conviction for wet and reckless. It was such a process to get all the facts sorted out. He was so honest and to the point and I respected that and it humbled me so much during that time. He recommended going to the lab experts, retesting my blood e...tc. He assured me that we would do everything that we should and could do to work the situation out in my favor so that it was not only going to beneficial to me, but it would be just. He is a great man and lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone. That of which I did! My dad has called him for some legal advice like a week ago :). He too is so happy with Earl's expertise!

I've been practicing law in SLO for a long time now and can recognize a good lawyer when I see one .I am impressed with the effort that Mr. Conway puts forth for his clients and he doesn't take any crap from the opposition. Good job Mr. Conway."
