Great Job

I was pulled over and accused for a DUI in fall of 2014 and never having done this before, a lawyer friend advised me to contact Nors. I contacted one other lawyer prior to Nors and then gave him a call afterwards. Both lawyers told me that because my case was in Pleasanton, it's much harder becaus...e the area is more conservative. First thing he told me was to calm down and assess the situation together. At the time I did a few blows of the breath analyzer and blood work. In this situation, it was hard to say what to do because we had no results or numbers to go by. I took bart one afternoon with my brother to meet Nors and he was very welcoming. We spoke about the case and the strategy that he would do, but at this point since we didn't know anything from the case, and would have to wait it out. He's very personable and a friend recommended him, so I decided to go with Nors. With my case it was unique, because from august through december we didn't have a court date, while dmv kept wanting to do a hearing. Nors developed strategies for both sides. He explained that since the court had not accused me of anything yet formally and we didn't know the blood work, we couldn't test it and use it as evidence in the dmv hearing. Only thing we could do at the moment was wait it out. Then in January I finally had a court date, by this time we knew some of the evidence. Prior to court date, we spoke about the worse case scenarios and the best case scenarios. One of the base case scenarios is if we could reduce the sentence to wet reckless, only a 12 hr (6 week dui class session), with just a fine, and stamp the whole thing with a helmandollar plea that would be amazing. With the Helmandollar plea, if we get dismissed with dui charges, then because dmv is waiting on dui charge and it isn't, they have to give me back my driving license. But I was forewarned, this scenario is very hard to come by, especially in pleasanton courts, and especially adding the Helmandollar plea. To get the Helmandollar Plea, both the prosecutor and judge have to agree too. But on that day, Nors being a connected guy, knew one of the prosecuters, and the deal was made. From Nors himself, he was happy with how the case turned out, and it was a great result. Happy I found Nors. From the beginning I said I needed to get the best result, because after this I had to deal with my professional board, so the lowest and least thing possible will definitely help me there. And as a result here, the board of my profession is looking good too. Thanks Nors and team!

Terrific person, terrific lawyer

I was arrested with a .14 BAC and retained a local DUI attorney in Pleasanton. The lawyer I hired was a DUI specialist, member of California DUI Lawyers Association, with some 40 years experience. He sucked, did nothing for me except waste 18 months, recommendI take a DUI conviction, 9 month school, ...etc etc. I launched a search for a new lawyer and interviewed 5 of the top rated. After meeting Nors I immediately new he was the right guy. He is a very warm and engaging person who genuinely cares about your situation. And he's an excellent lawyer. In just one conference he was able to get my case plead to wet reckless with much lower penalties. Can't say enough good things about him. If you want an attorney who you can talk to like a real person, cares about you, is expert on the law, and an expert negotiator, this is your guy too.

Dependable Representation

Nors is very knowledgeable and professional. He understands the nature of the case and puts together a solid, comprehensive defense. Having him represent me gave me a sense of security without setting unreasonable expectations for the outcome. I'd highly recommend him for anyone in a similar situa...tion. Thanks, Nors.

Great outcome for DUI case

Nors managed to help me have my 1st time DUI charge dropped to reckless driving with only 6 weeks of traffic school. Then for the dmv side I got to keep my license without any further penalties. Overall I would say it is a very good result. My bac was .08 on the dot. Blood retest result came back ...after I entered the plea .07. But still fighting in court would have been tough due to other details. So the plea for wet reckless was I think a good deal though deeply wished it would have been a dismissal because of the .07. For the dmv part I did pay extra to have a toxicologist testify in the dmv hearing. And, it was completely worth it. An extraordinary result I got to keep my license without any penalties except the 2 points on my record for wet reckless. Overall Nors helped me out a whole lot. He is very professional and personable. Highly recommended.

5 stars for Nors!

Nors is a great lawyer! I got myself into an unfortunate position and needed to find a lawyer to represent me for a second DUI case. I called around and Nors was able to calm some of my anxieties down the first time I spoke with him. We got right to the point and I knew he was going to be the one who... I wanted to represent me. He kept me informed with everything going on and anytime I had any questions, he wouldn't hesitate on making sure I understood everything I needed to know. He's very professional and you can tell how much passion he has for his job. He always works hard on trying to get the best outcome for his clients. He specializes in DUI cases so he's very knowledgeable in what he does. If you're ever in trouble, hire Nors!
