Where to start ? Well last year was a experience to learn and share. About a year ago I was out and about with some co- workers and had a little too many drinks, to the point where I was under the influence and go behind the wheel , next thing I know , I woke up behind the wheel and reared ended som...eone, the passenger got a minor cut due to her phone hitting her eyebrow and SFPD AND SF Sheriff came to the scene and ran the test . My alcohol level was 3 times over the limit and I was book for a DUI and sat down in jail for 3 days , on the third night the DA dropped my felonies into misdemeanors and was released . Got on the web to look for a lawyer and found Aaron , I never had a lawyer and reading past reviews on Aaron , I took my chance on him , and man , I thank God because he came in a time where I was stressed out and didn’t know what was going to happen. He took care of everything and had to do what the courts told me to do . Accomplished what the courts told me to do and today got the my case dismissed, I was in disbelief when Aaron told me the outcome. All I know is Aaron is a great lawyer , he’s understanding and does his best for his clients ! If you ever in a situation like me or similar I would recommend Aaron to you , he came in a time where I was losing hoping and was getting into the mindset that this was it and was going to do some time , but thank God that wasn’t the case! Thank you and your are very much appreciated Aaron !

This guy knows DUI law inside and out. Everyone arrested for DUI deserves to have Attorney Bortel on their side. He is a one of a kind in his field. He has a unique talent of maintaining his genuine concern for his clients while at the same time vigorously fighting for the best outcome in every case....

If I could give Aaron Bortel more stars, I would. I was in a panic after getting a DUI arrest when I was out of town- also involving hitting a parked car. The DA wanted to also stick me with a hit and run charge - Aaron was able to get this charge dismissed and also negotiate out of the interlock dev...ice (note - depending on the county in which you get a DUI, this may not always be negotiable). But the bottom line is , Aaron will do everything he can to get you the best possible outcome. Not only is he an amazing lawyer- he is an incredibly compassionate and warm person. If he weren't such a great lawyer he should be a therapist. Aaron is also very responsive (more so than many of my family members!) - he always called, texted or emailed me back within the same day. One review I read questioned whether the services are worth the money - in fact, I think he's not charging enough given the quality of service. So if you have a DUI arrest in the SF Bay Area, don't even think twice - Aaron is the lawyer you want. I am so grateful that I found him. thank you Aaron!

Aaron is an amazing lawyer. Got me out of a huge mess by reducing my DUI charges to a reckless driving and even winning the DMV hearing ! My license was hence intact. All this within 8 months.... A stupid mistake could have costed me a lot more. Thanks to his tremendous expertise in handling both ...DUI and DMV hearings, I can continue with my life with peace. If you are facing something similar, please call him and atleast get a consultation. Trust me, it might just change your life....

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.
