Experience matters. I care about my clients. I have devoted over 40 years to the defense of people charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and driving under the influence of drugs and criminal cases.
My clients are my priority. I take the time to thorougly investigate all aspects of their cases. I make myslf available to keep my clients in the loop about what is happening with their cases.
I have been trained in operation of the breath machines and have done hands on labratory training in the analysis of blood for alcohol and drugs. I've completed the same Field Sobriety Training course as the police officers. Knowldge and training in these areas greatly assist my clients in their defense.
I am the Past President and Specialist member of the California DUI Lawyers Association. I am a Regent, sustaining member and Faculty Member of the National College of DUI Defense.
I have conducted trainng sessions for the Alameda County Bar Association, the Public Defender's offices in Alameda and San Francisco. I have lectured at the Mastering Scientific Evidence Conference for the National College of DUI Defense on Blood Testing Errors and Medical Interactions with Alcohol Absorption and Elimination, Ethics and Diversity. I continue to teach continuing education for attorneys and learn from others in my field.
My goal is dedicated, thorough, compassionate and aggressive representation for my clients. Please allow me to assist you, in what can be, a difficult time in your life.

Had the best experience with Lynn. Communication was best in class, knowledge of the law was even better. Lynn and her team fully prepped me on what to expect, and exactly how to proceed with every step. They gave me everything I needed, with DMV and Court. If you’re looking for a turn key solution, ...

I can’t thank Lynn Gorelick enough for her exceptional representation. From the very beginning, Lynn was honest, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about DUI laws and procedures in Alameda County. She walked me through every step of the process, clearly explaining my options and helping me ma...

Lynn Gorelick & Teresa Vickers are top notch at what they do. If you are in need of a lawyer Lynn is very good at explaining and walking you through what is going to happen next and eases your mind. I have had to use them twice and they have done more then I could ever ask of them. I can’t thank the...

Even before I hired her, Lynn Gorelick has been helpful providing me information about my DUI case that helped me understand the situation I was in. It was until I got officially charged with DUI when I reached out to Lynn to hire her to help my case. It was surprising news to hear that Lynn was able...

Loved working with Lynn. Thank you so much for your hard work and successful case. Throughout the journey she’d keep me updated and was always accessible and willing to answer any of my questions.
"I would endorse Lynn for any client in need of DUI representation. Her dedication to learning all she can about the entire DUI process is unparalleled. I would highly recommend her."
"I endorse Lynn for anyone looking for premier representation in a DUI matter. She has the knowledge, experience and intellect to get the best result possible."
"I endorse this lawyer. As a former judge, magistrate and prosecutor over the past 24 years, I can tell you that she is an exemplary attorney. I would recommend anyone and everyone for her services. There is no better decision that you could make."
"I have known Lynne for about twenty years. I have referred clients to her, including several of my "former students" as I used to teach high school in Fremont, California, but I know live/practice in the Sacramento area. I have also referred a relative to Lynn and I have always received positive feedback about Lynn from those referrals. I attend workshops for DUI/DMV law on a regular basis and I don't think that I have ever attended one where Lynn was not present. She is a very warm, supportive person and is also an excellent attorney."
"Lynn is one of the nicest and smartest people you'll ever meet in this business. She is experienced and gets the best results for her clients. She is always willing to help fellow attorneys and is the "go to" attorney that other attorneys turn to with questions. I endorse Lynn with no reservations."
"Lynn is phenomenal. She's experienced, kind, and gets the best results for her clients. I have yet to meet one person who does not love Lynn. She mentors other attorneys and is always willing to share her ideas on how to deal with tough cases. I would not hesitate to hire her as my attorney."
"Lynn is very knowledgeable about DUI Defense and is always willing to share her insights with fellow attorneys. I wholeheartedly endorse her work."
"Attorney Gorelick is a nationally known and highly regarded skilled trial advocate whose tireless efforts on behalf of the citizen among us who has been accused of a crime has earned her the many endorsements and accolades that one can read here. However, they understate her true value and worth in this field of criminal defense. I can attest to her reputation, knowledge, experience and trustworthiness. I gladly give her my highest form of endorsement. You will too."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Ms. Gorelick is incredibly knowledgeable in California DUI Law. Consequently she is an accomplished and ferocious litigator. If you are charged with DUI/DWI, you want her at your side!"
"I have gotten to know this attorney through my work with Virginia Landry. Lynn is one of the best and brightest lawyers in the Bay Area. I have met her at a number of DUI conferences and know that she constantly strives to do the best for her clients."
"Lynn is not just brilliant (and she is). Lynn knows how to work with people. She gets cases dismissed ... I don't know how sometimes. She knows the facts inside and out and she knows your case inside and out. I go to her for questions in her areas of specialization and I get answers that I rely on. I can't trust many other attorneys to that level but I trust Lynn. Dan Horowitz"
"I endorse Ms. Gorelick because she always spends the time reviewing the small details to get her clients the best results that can be obtained. In her 26 years of being a criminal defense lawyer, she has never lost a trial in a case where her client was charged with a DUI refusal. Never!!! That is an outstanding result. Ms. Gorelick's concern for obtaining the best results for her clients can be seen in the courthouse hallways when you see her clients thanking her for helping and representing them, and I have seen that. Presently, Ms. Gorelick is a leader in the largest California DUI defense organization the California DUI Lawyer's Association (CDLA), and as I write this, she is the Vice President of the CDLA. It is just a matter of time this excellent lawyer will become President. What more could you ask for when seeking a lawyer to represent you in your criminal charge of DUI. Lawyers seek her advise, and you would be well advised to hire her to represent you. I would!!!!"
