Mr. Bortel was an excellent attorney from beginning to end. He helped me navigate the judicial system seamlessly, stepped in to be present at all my court hearings so I wouldn’t have to, and even assisted me with finding a great place to perform my community service requirements (a place that I still... intend on volunteering for after the requirements were met). He made the process painless and ultimately my case was dismissed through the Pretrial Diversion Program. I really appreciate all he did to help me with this terrible situation. He is absolutely the best and with every penny.

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!

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.
