Very efficient Lawyer

I was in SLO for a wedding so I do not live in SLO county. Made a decision to drive after hanging out at the bar with the wedding party. This was my first DUI so didn't know what to do. Since I lived in San Jose, I contacted George to represent me at the hearing, and to take care of everything els...e too. George put my concerns at ease, answered all my questions multiple times, and told me exactly what to do in my situation. He took care of everything so I didn't have to drive back down to SLO. I only made one trip for a Book & Release with the country Sheriff. George is very efficient and too the point, and doesn't leave any stones unturned. I recommend him to anyone caught with a DUI!

SLO DUI

If you’re browsing this site, you probably just experienced what many of us before you have gone through, being arrested and charged with a DUI. This is probably one of the most traumatizing and stressful situations anyone can experience because not only do you spend the night in jail but you also fa...ce the possibly of losing your driver’s license and criminal charges. I encourage anyone in this situation to hire a lawyer and I highly recommend Mr. George O’Neill. Having no prior incidents with the law (not even a traffic ticket) or experience working with lawyers, I was fairly lost as to how I would try piece my life back together. Without much aim or direction, I reached out to numerous local DUI lawyers explaining my case. Mr. O’Neill was the first lawyer to reply to my email and responded the same day, even during a holiday weekend! I was pleasantly surprised to receive such a rapid response, and through this gesture, I knew Mr. O’Neill was highly professional and wanted to waste little time. During the first consultation, Mr. O’Neill was very honest and clearly walked me through what the legal proceedings would be and helped me fully understand the situation. The fee that he requested for his work was very reasonable. Through these initial interactions I felt that Mr. O’Neill genuinely wanted to help me and had no intentions of ripping me off so I decided to hire him and retain him as my attorney. Throughout the process, Mr. O’Neill and his staff were always friendly and accessible. Office meetings were easily arranged and Mr. O’Neill regularly kept me informed with any news or updates regarding my case. Through our constant communication, I knew that Mr. O’Neill worked exceptionally hard on my case, and as a result I attained a highly favorable outcome. I can’t thank Mr. O’Neill enough for helping me turn my life around and getting my future back. Hiring him was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Mr. O’Neill is an honest lawyer who genuinely cares for his clients and will do his absolute best to help.

"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."

DUI and DWI lawyer | Jun 16

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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. This gives him an advantage over the police officer in cross-examination to help win your DUI case. If you are in his office seeking a lawyer to represent you in DUI charges, look no further, just hire him. Donald Drewry"
