Great Lawyer

After receiving my DUI, I was extremely worried and had no idea what to do. I decided to hire an attorney and called around but didn’t really find anyone that I was comfortable with. I found Nors online and decided to call him based on all of the great reviews that he has. After speaking with him o...ver the phone I felt a lot better and had no hesitation letting him represent me in court. He is a very understanding person and he did a great job of explaining the details of my case. Not only did he handle everything for me from start to finish, he was also to able to extend my DMV hearing for a considerable amount of time so that I could continue driving to work. He is very professional and updated me frequently with letters and emails. He has a great personality and a good sense of humor that made me feel a lot more at ease during a very stressful time of my life. There were a few times when it was hard to get a hold of him because he is very busy, but he always took time out of his schedule to get back to me and answer any questions that I had. Overall, I was pleased with the outcome of my case and I would definitely recommend him to anyone. As a matter of fact, I also retained his services to handle and unrelated case for my girlfriend. Thank you again Nors for all of your time and hard work.

Nors actions literally saved my life!

After all the research I went through, I decided to seek Nors legal advice with my under 21 DUI case. At first, I was a bit apprehensive since I had no knowledge of lawyers and was going at this all alone. However, my fears were put to rest after talking with Nors and receiving genuine input on my ...chances of not getting convicted. He offered VERY reasonable prices and was willing to work with me. In addition, he was always thoughtful and never judgmental. However, I wish he had been a bit more responsive and keeping me up to date, as I sometimes felt in the dark about the trial. Understandably though, he is very busy, so I do understand. All in all, I couldn't have asked for better and he truly saved my future as I don't have to worry about any incriminating information showing up on a background check or such. Everyone makes mistakes and I for one know that this kind of thing will never happen to me again. He gave me the opportunity to gain some normalcy in my life and not feel like a criminal. I am forever thankful!

Highly Recommended Alameda County

I talked with a few lawyers before I decided to go with Nors. After our first meeting I felt confident that he would do all he could to represent me. I had a .11/.12 case in Alameda County and did not want to have to install an interlock device on my vehicle. Nors was honest and said it would be a... hard case to get a plea for wet reckless, but he would fight for it. At the second court appearance he was successfully able to get the DA to let me plead guilty to the lesser wet reckless charge. I would definitively recommend Nors to anyone who is challenging there DUI charge. He is reasonably priced and dedicated to his clients. Thanks Nors!!

Best DUI attorney in the Bay Area - Period!

Nors is 100% the best DUI attorney I've had the experience working with. I received my first DUI in San Jose about 7 years ago. I was trying to flag down a cab and instead I ended up flagging down a cop instead. Rather than put me in a cab the arrested me for drunk in public. Then I was released, giv...en the keys to my car and told to 'go home'. I tried to do exactly that and was immediately pulled over for a DUI..!!! In all honesty, my "First DUI" should have NEVER been a DUI - drunk in public "requires" the police to hold you 'until you are no longer a harm to yourself or others' - that's the law. They broke the law and told me to go home and gave me essentially a weapon. I thought I was only hungover, I could not fathom they would let me drive home drunk. I went through about $10,000 - $15,000 and 3 THREE law firms. All saying the same thing 'they can't do that, we'll get you off' They all (except the last, which chickened out at the court house and scared me into taking a plea of a wet reckless) quit returning my phone calls once they had my money. Alas, I recently had a bad experience where I had too much to drink and since the law was changed it was a SECOND offense (law was changed to 10 years in 2007). Well suffice to say I got really lucky and Nors was one of the first DUI attorneys here in SF I spoke to for this now '2nd offense DUI'. I evaluated several law firms after my utterly horrible past experiences with DUI attorneys. Ultimately I went with my 'gut' and hired Nors vs. a more expensive attorney (his prices are very reasonable). Nors was extremely professional, he calmed my nerves, he 'took the monkey off my back' (to borrow his words) so I could return to focusing on my life. Long story short, Nors "always" returned my phone calls. We met in person and went over all the details of my case, he informed me of all the ins and outs with regard to the specifics of my case and he made me aware that there was a serious issue regarding my arrest. I gave my approval for him to file a motion to suppress (which has about a less than 1% chance of success). Well I'm almost in disbelief as I type this because while the DMV ruling still stands my court case was DISMISSED! You can't put a price on that. I *never* intend to drink and drive again. Ever. However, not having to deal with Jail, Probation, and another "criminal mark" on my record is priceless. If you are in need of a DUI attorney in the bay area Nors is by far the best one out there in my experience and opinion. Thank you SO MUCH Nors! You're work is superb and your professionalism is unparalleled!
