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.

First rate.

When I had been his name by a trusted professional colleague of over 40 years, Aaron Bortel provided me prompt and very knowledgeable answers to all my questions. I needed to assist a client with a DMV driver record correction matter which would have caused considerable difficulties for many years ...if left uncorrected. Aaron Bortel knew exactly what to do. He clearly is a seasoned professional whose experience helps him navigate the difficult challenges of this area of law. He is also a good guy. He is now my number one go-to referral for when I have clients with DUI and related problems. Highest recommendation.

Go with the best!!

Don't bother shopping around; Aaron Bortel truly is the expert. My friends BAC was .30 and she was able to have the DUI case completely dismissed. In addition, she won her DMV hearing and did not suffer a suspended license. This was incredible because, it did not affect her insurance and she had... no community service. That’s what I call results !! ... He addressed all my friends questions and concerns were handled courteously and promptly. Aaron eased my friends mind and made the whole process very simple. He is a savior and we were extremely grateful! I highly recommend Aaron Bortel to anyone in this type of situation. Again Aaron - many, many thanks !

Top Notch DUI Attorney! Look no further...He"s your guy. You will realize why when it's all said and done.

I am a 50 year old single white female who just recently moved to Marin County. It was a job related move. I am in sales. I NEED to drive in order to do my job. Public Transportation is NOTan option. So when I got a DUI less than 30 days of moving to Marin, I was absolutely devastated. Most of ...my closest friends and my family live on the East Coast. I was completely alone and frightened. I knew I needed to hire an attorney. I immediately got online and googled DUI attorney's. I found three in Marin County. I made an appointment with each of them. Aaron Bortel was the last attorney I met with. I knew almost immediately after meeting him that he was "the guy"...and you will too. He emits honesty and integrity. ...Characteristics not typically synonymous with "lawyer". Even after I agreed to hire Mr. Bortel, I was overwhelmed with the whole process between the DMV and the Court...I knew I had to just trust him. After he reviewed the police report and the video of my FST's, he recommended that we do not try to fight this in court. A decision that I had to accept despite my disappointment. However, here's what he did do: I never lost my driving privileges (in some cases you can't drive for up to a month or longer), I did not have to do any community service, and I only had to complete 10 weeks of DUI classes. My last class is tomorrow night. And after hearing other people's stories, I became increasingly aware of how fortunate I was that Aaron Bortel was my attorney. Don't think twice. Hire this man. You will be so thankful you did.
