Did nothing at all. Scammed me.

I hired Reve back in May to help me with a dui case. I had to contact her multiple times to get any response. My case ended up getting dropped but not because of her. I told her at least 10 times the date of my dmv hearing and every time she actually did respond she would ask me the date of it again,... which tells me she did not find it important enough to even write down. I found out my case was dropped only because I repeatedly called the district attorney every other day. She had no clue at all that it was dropped. She said she would get my arrest sealed off my record but I have been trying to contact her since June, it is now the end of December and she has not responded at all. Do not hire this scam artist. She will take your money.. the only response I ever got fast from her was when she sent me the non refundable deposit contract! Sad how someone can take advantage of someone when they are at such a low point.. disgusting.

Reve Bautista

Reve Bautista represented me in a misdemeanor case in 2016 that could have resulted in a loss of my reputation, fines and criminal record. Reve faithfully appeared in court on my behalf every time and secured for me just one year of probation with no fines or admission of guilt. Reve is a good listen...er and is sympathetic.

Ms. Bautista is a wonderful expert defense lawyer!

My wife and I were visiting Vacaville, California back in May 2016 where I received a non moving citation from CHP. An error in documentation set me up for a misdemeanor charge instead of an infraction. I hired Reve to appear on my behalf at the arraignment. She was able to convince the district a...ttorney to change the charge to an infraction and pay the fine closing the case. She has a long standing background both as a district attorney and defense attorney with the players in the San Francisco area court systems and knows how to make things happen. Hire her! You will not be disappointed.

Phenomenal Criminal Defense Attorney

I got into a situation where I was falsely accused of domestic violence. I contacted Reve, we met shortly thereafter, and discussed all my options and what the process would entail. I told her from the gate that I wasn't taking a plea deal, so if the DA wasn't going to drop the case, we are going t...o trial. Reve was very professional, knowledgeable and in tune with my needs. She was always upfront, honest and told me like it is. She advised me of all my options every step of the way and gave her professional and legal opinion, but at the end of the day, left it up to me for the final say so. Long story short, after a year of pre-trial, we finally went to trial and I couldn't have been happier with Reve's work. She was extremely prepared every single day. She made sure I was prepared, while also making sure I was just as involved in the trial as she was. Meaning, we bounced ideas off of each throughout the trial, as well as compared notes from each day. In the end I was found NOT GUILTY, but more importantly, I could tell Reve really fought for my innocence, and not only went the extra mile for me, but was extremely passionate in doing so. I would without question recommend Reve to anyone who finds them self in any type of criminal trouble. She will help you figure things out, but in doing so, she will keep it 100 percent real and not just tell you what you want to hear. Lastly, her attention to detail, her knowledge of different legal situations and scenarios, and most importantly, her passion and dedication is unparalleled! I can't thank her enough for all her help over the past year!

Awesome DUI attorney

Got into a little bit of trouble while visiting Napa's music festival and needed a lawyer fast. I was very pleased with the professionalism and prompt response to my questions and concerns. She put my mind at ease and the outcome was a favorable one. Living out of state was no problem. She attended a...ll of the hearings on my behalf and gave me a detailed explanation of what happened at each of the hearings. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a DUI attorney.
