Aaron Bortel helped save my life. After my third dui I was hopeless. I knew that I was looking at a prison term and I felt that my life as I knew It was over. Fate intervened. Through the internet I was lead to Mr. Bortel. Our interview was informative. Over the next year Mr. Bortel both faught in an...d out of court for me. He advised that I seek help and change my life. After countless conversations I finally took his advise. To my surprise it worked and the court system responded. I did not go to prison. I didnt even do any jail time. I remain sober and grateful to this day.

This lawyer was recommended to my fiance by a friend and couldn't have fulfilled our expectations more. Upon the first visit he was highly knowledgeable of the proceedings and what was to happen after the incident. He made us feel comfortable, confident, and secure, while at the same time not making ...huge claims right from the beginning. He gave off the impression of experience in this field and won our case for us. He is easy to talk to, thorough, understanding, and does not make you feel inferior. He stayed in touch with us throughout the entire process, updating us on everything that was happening, and besides the initial meeting, we did not have to do much more. He took care of everything for us and saved my license! Could not have been happier and more satisfied. I am highly confident that Aaron takes his job seriously and will do as much as he can for anyone who has DUI.

When I looked for a lawyer to take my case, I decided to take on Mr. Bortel due to the fact that he was prompt in returning my inquiries. I also felt like he was honest in his pricing, knowledge and skill base. All throughout this harrowing process, Mr. Bortel kept me at ease, kept me on the road... and came through with his promises. His skill in negotiating my case due to his solid reputation with his peers and ability was paramount to getting my charges reduced and being able to move on from this unfortunate incident. Mr. Bortel also worked with me financially. He set up a payment plan and was very flexible and kind if I trouble making the monthly bill. Although i plan on not using Mr. Bortel's services in the future, I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who requires his assistance.

I contracted Aaron Bortel to represent me in Sonoma as I live in NY and did not want to travel back and forth to court. He handled the case very well and did exactly what he said. I was very happy with the results and reccommend Aaron. This is not a bull@hit review. I made a serious mistake and Aaron... kept it off my record with a much better outcome.

When I was arrested for my DUI, the first thing I did when I got home was to start calling lawyers specializing in DUI cases. Of the offices I called, a couple mentioned Aaron in passing becuase he had recently won a particularly difficult case with the city of San Francisco. After hearing this, I ...called Aaron back and set up an appointment. Aaron was very knowledgeable and personable. He put a lot of my fears and ease and talked my through a lot of my angst over what the process was, what I could expect and what I should do. He walked me through the best and worst case scenarios as well some more likely scenarios (neither best or worst case). He seemed especially knowledgable on the science side of things (toxicology, blood work, etc). Aaron was a busy guy throughout the case but was always prompt to respond to emails. In the end, Aaron won my criminal case and my DMV hearing. I hope I don't need him again....but he will stay in my phonebook, just in case.
