Excellent DUI Attorney

I, like so many others before me, made the dumb mistake of driving after a night out with some friends. In my defense, I felt that I was completely sober and capable of driving, but I was very sleep deprived and tired at 5am in the morning. When there was bumper to bumper traffic in front of me, I ...dozed off for a couple of seconds and the inevitable happened... I got noticed by one of the cops at the accident and he pulled me over to the side. I felt that I passed all of the tests, but the breathalyzer got me exactly at 0.08% BAC and I was inevitably arrested under suspicion of driving under the influence. The next day after being released from the drunk tank, I contacted several of the top lawyers in Alameda County to see whom might be able to help me avoid the charges. I decided to retain Elliot because of his professionalism and honesty. Some of the other lawyers told me that they would for sure be able to get my case dropped because I had blown such a low BAC percentage, but Elliot said that he wasn't going to promise anything because if he did, it would be a lie. What he did promise me was good communication throughout the hearings, his best efforts to get the charges lowered as much as possible, and to represent me in the best possible way. This event in my life was big. I fell into the lowest point of my life and had no motivation to do anything other than to do whatever I could to escape reality. I missed days at work, isolated myself from friends and family, starved and lost almost 20 lbs, and really didn't know what more I had left in me. Elliot was by my side for the entire journey and was easy to reach, didn't miss any hearings or appointments, and always succeeded in giving me the most recent updates as they were made available. He was able to get my DMV hearing completely dismissed with the Helmandollar plea and got the DUI charges dropped to a dry reckless with a $240 traffic ticket, which I am very pleased with. He even went out of his way to pay for my $240 traffic ticket because I was out of the country on a business trip at the time that the ticket was due. If you need a DUI attorney, Elliot is your man.
