Lynn is calm, professional, experienced, confident, and positive!

I received my first (and last!) DUI while driving home after 2 glasses of wine. I was arrested for the first time in my life, spent the night in a country jail, and missed the next day of teaching in my 4th grade classroom.... as a 'no show'. I was not only completely embarrassed by the whole experi...ence, but disoriented, confused, shocked, and traumatized. I received a plethora of brochures and advertisements for DUI lawyers to help me fight my case in court and DMV hearing. I didn’t even think I needed or wanted a lawyer, and that this whole thing shouldn’t have happened. I called many lawyers, had phone consultations, and thoroughly read all of their materials. Many of the lawyers were knowledgable, but sounded like they were repeating jargon and insisting I hire them as a lawyer to fight my case through court and the DMV hearing. Most were aggressive and affordable. This is what I thought I wanted.... but felt uneasy. I then found Lynn Gorelick who was like a breath of fresh air. She was much more expensive then the rest, but was honest, transparent, and advised me well. She patiently coached me through defending myself in court, because the case was most likely going to be dropped due to its low BAC%. Indeed it was. At that point, I felt like Lynn was trustworthy and had my best interest; as well as her time, in mind - not money. However, the fight was not over. I still had the DMV hearing creeping up. My BAC% came back over the .08% limit and I was destined to lose my license. I then hired Lynn to defend me during my DMV hearing process, which lasted nearly 6 months. The moment I made this decision, I knew it was the right choice! Lynn and her assistants kept me informed, diligently took over my case, followed through with hearing procedures, and simply took the reins from there. Lynn and her staff are all calm, professional, experienced, confident, and positive! The money was WELL worth spent! I got my license back and I never had to appear at a hearing. She is DEFINITELY the lawyer you want to go with if you want peace after a DUI arrest.

Knowing what I know today, I would still go with Lynn 100%

By some luck, I found Lynn's number the morning I was released. I was in a state of complete bewilderment, and Lynn helped me to regain my bearings. From there, she helped me to win my DMV hearing, and get my charges reduced to a wet/reckless. She took care of the entire process, and her services ...were well worth the cost.

Highly Educated, Honest, Trustworthy, Responsive, Very Knowledgeable of Human Rights & Laws

Lynn Gorelick knows the Alameda County court system better than any other defense lawyer in the Bay area. She is experienced, focused and unrelenting, I faced a DUI charge and I was completely lost I had no idea of what to do. I started out with talking with and interviewing several law firms and att...orneys and still didn't know what to do until I found Lynn Gorelick, after meeting with her face to face I instantly knew that she would fight to the bitter end on my behalf and, she did. I am so very grateful that I found her she is a miracle worker. On my day at court, she negotiated with the DA in chambers beforehand and got my imminent DUI reduced to a wet reckless this was the best outcome that I could have had hoped for based on the circumstances. Next I had to deal with the DMV hearing, Lynn represented me and won a "Set Aside” ruling and staying any action by DMV to affect my license. I cannot speak highly enough about her entire office and her impeccable professionalism, she supported me through each step in the process. Lynn gets my vote for MVP and overall nice & truly compassionate person.

"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.

"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.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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"

Donald Drewry

DUI and DWI lawyer | Sep 12

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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!!!!"
