In case you are looking for an attorney with common interests I flew private aircraft for 40 years... Don't get me started with my "I learned about Flying from That" stories!
We've bareboat sailed the Mediteranian numerous times usually in the Greek Isles, but in 1999 we "accidentally" found France and like the rest of the lucky ones we fell in love with all things France and French for the last ten years.
...and even years of martial arts a long time ago; started skiing in Montana when I was 6 and continued up to 2000... now it's just a lazy round of golf, or loading up the Airstream to head off to the Sierras.
The beautiful women in my life are my wife Charron, my partner in our own law firm; our first daughter Janet also a lawyer with us after studies at Berkeley and USD; and her younger sister Kelly, our Yale Ph.D. The girls accomplished these feats practically on their own, but with credit to the smarts and work ethic of their mother!

"I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. O'Neil at the NHTSA Instructor Course this spring, in Irvine Ca. Any attorney who can complete AND pass the 4 day NHTSA Instructor Course for Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and DUI Enforcement, is at the very top of his or her profession. Being a qualified instructor on DUI enforcement and standardized field sobriety tests give Mr. O'Neil the unique ability to prove to judges, prosecutors and jurors that his client is not under the influence, and therefore not guilty of the charged crime. I would unequivocally hire Mr. O'Neil if I was charged with a crime in California."

"I endorse this lawyer's work because Mr. O'Neill is one of the most active, knowledgeable, successful DUI lawyers in California. George is always keeping other DUI lawyers advised of new methods for winning cases at the DMV hearings to keep a client's license, and applying that same method with a little modification for another success in the criminal action in the courts. He well trained in the areas of field sobriety tests including being qualified as State certified Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) coordinator; which means he knows more about the tests that police officer gave you than the police officer does.
