Simply the best

Aaron has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to DUI cases. I found myself in a horrible circumstance, staring at a DUI charge that would derail my career and all I had ever worked for. I contacted a number of attorneys before speaking with Aaron, who all said it was going to happen and the best thin...g to do was to prepare for the trial. After speaking with Aaron, it became clear that he was not only willing to listen to me, to what happened, and what I needed but that he was also far more knowledgeable than any of the other attorneys I spoke to. He is calculated and meticulous in his approach. He has great attention to detail and walked me through every step of the way. He was always responsive too, even the rare time when I had a question on a weekend or after hours during the week. He helped me get out of a situation where I was a victim of circumstance and didn't do myself any favors either. Without Aaron's help, I would have been hit with everything. Instead, due to him being a champion for me and knowing what he does about the system, he helped me save my career and my livelihood. I cannot stress how important all of this was to me. If you find yourself in a situation like this, don't hesitate. This is your guy. Give him a call, and you'll know within seconds exactly what I mean from the moment you speak with him.

2nd DUI Charge Dismissed

I was facing charges for my second DUI and did not know where to turn for help. I went to several Defense Attorneys but non of them focused their practice specifically on DUI Defense. Attorney Aaron Bortel is a master of his craft, and I cant say enough about his integrity to fight for his clie...nts. He listened to my case, and showed me step by step on how we were going to move forward. He kept me informed of any updates through out the court appearances. My case got dismissed thanks to Attorney Aron Bortel and I cant thank him enough.

The best in the business

Aaron is an incredible lawyer and person. If you have been pulled over for a DUI, there is no better lawyer you can find than Aaron. I received a DUI for blowing a 0.13 in Santa Rosa, and Aaron was able to help me win the DMV hearing and get the case dismissed. It was the best possible outcome I coul...d have hoped for and though not every case will turn out this way, Aaron will fight for you and make sure that the law was upheld every step of the way. Just as importantly, he's honest, kind, and empathetic. He will give you the facts, and it's clear he has both the experience, expertise, and intelligence to skillfully navigate these legal situations. You truly can't find a better lawyer. I have learned my lesson and to this day, will not get into the car if I've even had a sip of alcohol. I am so grateful to Aaron for helping me with a situation that could easily have been the worst experience of my life.

Tough DUI case

Aaron is the best lawyer you could get for a DUI. I got charged with a DUI with a speed enhancement for driving 117 mph on the freeway in alameda county. Aaron was able to get me off with a wet reckless and only 2 years of probation. I was able to keep my license and wasn't required to get sr22 or in...stall a device to start my car. While I most certainly learnt my lesson Aaron made all the legal matters a breathe, now I'm able to put it behind me and move on. I know he's a bit expensive but he's worth every penny. Excellent service and communication, keeps you informed and goes the extra mile for you. I'm really very thankful for his devotion and determination.

Brilliant DUI Attorney

After intviewing a couple of DUI attorneys, I hired Aaron Botel and it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Aaron was professional, trustworthy, informative and made me feel very comfortable thrroughout the entire process. Aaron saved my license, my job, and skillfully negotiated the... best possible legal outcome for my situation. Aaron cares about his clients and their families. I couldn't reccomend Aaron Bortel enought as a DUI attorney.
