Great DUI Attorney - helped resolve my DUI accident w/ injury

I was involved in an unfortunate DUI incident which also involved a bodily injury of another party. Nan was very supporting and helpful throughout the entire process and ensured me that everything would be fine. I was very high demanding with high expectations and had exchanged 100s of e-mails with... Nan throughout the course of over a year to get everything resolved - DUI and restitution. I asked many, many questions to best understand every aspect of my situation and she was very clear on everything. She went above and beyond in helping me lower the penalty of my DUI (community service days) and also working to help me get the judge to waive my restitution amount and was also able to get restitution fees waived (due to my insurance pay out to the victim). Nan went the extra mile and returned to court for my case multiple times. Never once did I have to make an appearance in court. She would always contact me before going into court and afterwards so that I was informed every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a DUI attorney. She will do her best in helping her clients to get the best possible outcome. She did all in her power to save me as much money as possible - and the outcome was great. Saved thousands of dollars in the end. Thank you, Nan!

DUI Cases

I had walked in to court and pled no contest to a DUI and got a full sentence. I didn't have representation, so I called Nan to see if there was anything I could do. I called to set up a meeting and at first she said she might not be able to help me, but the more details I gave her, the more she star...ted to realize that I got screwed over by the County. So I hired Nan and she went to speak directly with the DA supervisor and had my case repealed withing 5 minutes. After that we went to court and she had my DUI reduced to a wet wreckless. Not only did she get my DUI reduced to a wet wreckless, but she also had my fees reduced by $1000, and I no longer needed to do community service, or the 3 month program, but instead a 12 hour class. She was also responsive, giving me a call, text, or email back within 15 minutes. If I had not seeked out her counseling, I would be stuck with a DUI on my record, and have community service, and higher fees to pay. Im extremely happy i seeked out her counsel or i wpuld of been left screwed over.

Dont Trust

We hired Nan for a DUI case. She never know the case nor the person, poor defense! She is a charm of talking and results end up bad. People get better results just going through Public Defender.

My goal is to achieve the best possible outcome in each and every case. Unfortunately, no lawyer can change the facts of a case. I am so sorry you are unhappy, but I am willing to give you a full refund of your attorney's fees, so just call.

Caring, aggressive criminal defense

My world turned upside down when my wife framed me in a domestic violence case. As someone who had never broken the law what was unfolding before me was surreal and I had no clue on what to do next. After interviewing three highly rated (on Avvo and Yelp) criminal lawyers in San Jose, I selected Nan... as I found her to be sincere and knowledgeable. She has a calming, reassuring effect. She outlined an approach and explained likelihood of various outcomes. Throughout the process, she was accessible and kept me informed via email and phone. In the end, she was able to get the charges dismissed and called me with this news! If you need someone who can fight for you, I suggest you pick Nan. You will be glad you did.
