Joel Brand

Joel did my DUI hearing, and it went very well. For those who don't know, the DMV officer acts as both the judge and jury. Its completely stacked against you. At the outset, the DMV officer spent an inordinate amount of time getting ready. Then going through his own exhibits. At some point, ...he announced that he would need a continuance. Joel inquired as to why and apparently the DMV officer didn't have a document that he needed. At this point, Joel asked that the continuance request that the DMV officer was requesting (of himself) be denied. Joel made a speech on how not having the document there was not good cause. The document was available, it was just an oversight. After a long back and forth, the hearing officer begrudgingly agreed with Joel. The per se case was to be decided on the evidence available. We did the hearing and then 6 days later I got a notice that I had won. The document missing apparently was critical. Thanks, Joel.

Joel represented me at my DMV hearing yesterday. He won. The officer was called to answer questions. Joel showed that he had absolutely no idea what he was doing. The DMV employee eventually conceded that the investigation and report were a mess, and they hadn't met their burden. Joel subpoen...aed all there documents and we now know how the officer will answer questions at trial. I'm feeling much better about my case.

I can't recommend Joel highly enough. I called him up and after talking to him for about 30 minutes, felt a wonderful pleasant sense of relief. Getting a charge is stressful! Joel knows the laws relating to DUI in and out. He explained what was going to happen clear as day. He reviewed my ...police report and identified critical details that can be used to negotiate against the DA. It was stuff that I hadn't even noticed. I now think I have a solid strategy to fight this. If you have a DUI ticket, call Joel. I'm really thankful I found him.
