Barry Blackie Burak

Blackie defended me in a DUI case, which ended in a mistrial. We went back to trial a year later and Blackie convinced the DA and judge to dismiss the charges, and I was exonerated. Blackie is a hardworking and honest lawyer, and his wife Jane is understanding, caring and a pleasure to work with. I d...id quite a bit of research before retaining Blackie and also recently sat on a jury for another DUI trial. Put simply, I don't believe there is a better DUI legal team out there. All the other lawyers I talked to recommended I plead guilty. I'm glad I didn't listen to them and retained Blackie instead.

Mr. Blackie Burak is a highly reputable and seasoned attorney and is worth contracting his services...especially for a DUI / DWI. I will not go into great detail about my case; however, I will state that he was able to reduce the sentence and was able to negotiate waiving my work / jail time (ther...e is a 2 day mandatory minimum in Jail for first time DUI offenders or a Sheriff Work Program) and Blackie was able to communicate that I served time in Martinez during the initial 'booking process' which was a fairly extensive amount of time and therefore I was able to receive credit for that time vs having to reserve the time in jail or to lose 2 days of work with the 'work program'. In closing, EXPERIENCE COUNTS...that's why I contracted Blackie and am very glad that I did. Thank you, Mr. Burak for all your help! Jan 2012
