William J Walraven

Got my 3rd DUI within 10 years with felony child engagement in Santa Clara county. Blew a .40 and refused the blood draw. Accident with no injuries. William was there from start to finish handing every step of the case guiding me through my options and answering all of my questions The DA was ...initially looking for multiple year jail sentence, but William was able to negotiate a plea bargain with no jail (90 days home arrest but able to work), 18 month DUI program and probation thereafter. I had to wear a SCRAM ankle monitor for about 1 year during the pre trial phase and for the 90 day home arrest. Felony charge was dropped down to a misdemeanor and I was able to save my professional license. William is a life saver and I would highly recommend him. Considering my arrest was in one the most aggressive counties in California and that I was a multiple offender, I was certain jail time was in the cards, but William came though with awesome results.

William was really attentive and patient on my case and I blessed to hear the result of the case. I really went through a lot of mental stress and a lot of tough times and I always strive to keep my mind clear everyday, hoping the best outcome of the case. I really didn’t get help from a-lot of peopl...e but I believe to get the case to reduced or get the best outcome. I could define the first start of the case of the case was one of the lowest and deepest times of my life. However, I always have faith in William for representing me and helping me get through the case. He was always caring about me and how I should keep myself calm. He was not only a good lawyer but he was also a great person that gave me consultation every time there is an update on my case. He was always there for me till the end of the case and he is willing to communicate with me about anything that is related to my case after the case has ended. This was really helpful because I do not understand the after process of a DUI and he was able to help me beyond the case. After all, I really appreciate William representation throughout my case and I recommend William if you want to get the best outcome of DUI/DWI cases.

If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for your case AND empathize with your situation, choose Mr. Walraven! I think it is important to have an attorney listen to your concerns and address your case in a manner that takes your thoughts into consideration. I was so scared after I got my fir...st DUI and after speaking with him, I felt at ease and knew I wanted him to take my case. My DUI happened in San Mateo County, which is known for being one of the harshest counties when it comes to DUIs. Mr. Walraven was able to remove the other charge I had, a hit-and-run, and reduce the penalties a great amount, so I can't thank him enough! He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate, so I definitely recommend him to anyone who is in legal trouble!

After consulting with many attorneys, I started working with William to represent me for my 2nd DUI. William’s professionalism, thoroughness and expertise went beyond my expectations. His knowledge in court and guidance through this entire process was extremely helpful. I’d recommend William to all ...my friends of family, he made a huge difference in putting me at ease and helping me resolve my case.

The worst night of my life was when I got a DUI. Scared, shamed, guilt are words that didn't even come close to how I felt. I had no idea where to go, or what to do. William Walraven was referred to me and I made that call. From the get go, through my hysterics, he was kind, and supportive, extre...mely knowledgeable and clear - holding nothing back what 'could happen' so no surprises. William, collected my information and got busy representing me. He was always truthful of possible outcomes and explained each step VIA phone and I always asked for an email as well because I just couldn't absorb all the legal implications in one sitting. He goes way above and beyond to do the right thing. Explained exactly what I ought to do, and I did exactly what he suggested every step of the way. He never made me feel those feelings of shame or guilt, not once. Always, kind and compassionate, honest, and with such integrity. I am not really good at expressing my gratitude (well in this situation, that I never thought I'd be in) so just know, without a doubt, I recommend William to anyone in this situation - again a man full of compassion, integrity, honesty, knowledgeable, and well, I just can't say enough about how he walked (and is walking) me through this horrible mistake I made. God didn't give me words to adequately express my gratitude.
