Hi:
My name is Robert Tayac and I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California and before the Federal courts for the Northern, Eastern, Central and Southern Districts of California. Additionally, I am licensed to practice law before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
I was born in San Francisco and educated at the University of California. I obtained my undergraduate degree from the University of California at Davis and my law degree from Boalt Hall School of Law at the University of California at Berkeley.
My office specializes in representing good people who are accused of making a mistake. If this sounds like you or someone you know and care about, feel free to call my office to discuss how I might be able to help you.
Thanks,
Robert

Don't believe all the positive reviews you read here. I recommend you go to the court house and see Robert Tayac in action, working on one of his client's dui case. You will see for yourself that you would be wasting your hard earned money for poor representation and a lack of real quality client d...

Robert helped me win a domestic violence case where the state had charged me based on the false claims of my now ex-girlfriend. I called him as soon as I was released on bail. He got involved early in the case and did everything he could to ensure I would not be convicted. In less than three months, ...

I hired Mr. Tayac to represent me regarding DUI charges. He's very charming and reassuring until you make payment for his retainer. Then, he will ignore your voice messages, emails, and even court dates! He shows up late to court! I terminated my relationship with Mr. Tayac (forfeiting the retain...

I had a terrible experience with Tayac. I hired him for a DUI matter. He charged me an inflated rate (going rate for a DUI is $2-3k but he charged $8k, all up front). After receiving a retainer, he routinely ignored my voicemails and emails--so I had no idea what was going on with my case. He als...
"I endorse this lawyer. Although Robert and I have a past which includes my being his associate and all of the baggage that attaches to an employee/employer relationship, in the end, he has my endorsement. Robert taught me a lot about about the business of the practice of law which I learned from and developed in a different direction. Although our practice styles are dramatically different, I'VE NEVER SEEN A DUI LAWYER WITH THE UNWAVERING COURAGE TO FIGHT THE MOST DIFFICULT CASE IN THE THE MOST HOSTILE ENVIORNMENTS. That willingness alone would be worthy of an endorsement, but more than that, Robert actually wins cases like that. While he may not be the "warm and fuzzy" lawyer people may think they want, he's truly the hard nosed bulldog that they may actually need. If you have a "must win," "zero sum" case and are willing to pay for his services, Robert Tayac may just be the very best DUI trial lawyer in Northern California."
"The bottom line about Robert Tayac is this: he's a terrific lawyer. Co-Author of "California Drunk Driving Defense," (Fourth Edition) the "first word" in DUI Defense law in this state, Mr. Tayac has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is an all-star DUI attorney. If I needed a DUI attorney, I would put Robert at the very top of my list."
"I've worked with Robert for over 5 years in the greater Bay Area, making special appearances and in other matters. He's professional, honors his promises, and gets excellent results for all his clients. He's someone I would not hesitate to recommend for the highly specialized area of DUI defense - or for any criminal matter."

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2009.
Discipline with Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2009
updated on 01/20/2016This sanction means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.
“I refused to represent a person who was prepared to lie in legal proceedings about the circumstances surrounding her adult son's death. In a second matter, my office handled a matter for a client who sought a refund after all work had been performed. I refused and for the first time he complained, expressing dissatisfaction with the representation. I stood firm on these matters of ethics and principle.”
