DUI’s in El Dorado County

I was charged under suspicion of DUI’s in El Dorado County , the frequency of the events was close together and they were both accidents. Ryan helped me reach a very fair plea and was considerate and of my budget and very fair.

BEST LAWYER

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I had a dui case and had to fight it because i wasn't driving. I originally had a different lawyer who never talked to me about what was happening or anything and he was way to expensive so i looked around and spoke with attorney Kocot and i could already tell he knew what he was ...talking about. I fired the other guy and hired Kocot. He kept me updated every step of the way. Answered any and all questions i had and was easy to get a hold of when needed. He was able to get my case dismissed with the court and the DMV!!! I am sooo grateful for everything he did to help me! Another great thing is he has a great price for the amazing work he does!

Knowledgeable and Friendly

First time ever needing a lawyer when I got my DUI. I called Mr. Kocot the very next day and he immediately got the ball rolling for me. He reviewed my case and explained how every worked. He was able to get me the minimums for everything and was with me all the way until I got my license back. Hig...hly recommend!

Couldn't thank you enough

Ryan not only was there from the day I called him, he beat other lawyers in his area, and in a near (county) prices by 50% or greater.... I had my first dui and was very scared. He not only made sure to do what he said he would (take care of putting off first court date to gather information on my sp...ecific case) he was always a phone call away. And that's a fact. On top of that we were able to get my dui dismissed!! Can't thank him enough. Never did I once have to worry about him maybe being to busy or having any questions related to my case... I would recommend him to everyone. thanks again.

Outstanding!

I was VERY lucky and am thankful to have been referred to Ryan. I had turned to Yelp for my DUI and a very highly rated and reviewed lawyer sent me to Ryan since my DUI was in Fairfield. That lawyer's expertise is Sac, while Ryan has expertise with both the Sac and Fairfield courts. I'm sure R...yan could work well anywhere, but having experience in a particular jurisdiction is valuable. I was not driving while intoxicated (or buzzed) and wanted to win to keep my record clear. Ryan fought for my case and got me a dismissal in the end. He was incredibly knowledgeable, communicative, helpful, concerned, is unbelievably nice, and was confident going to trial. I can't imagine a better experience with a lawyer and if you're here reading this trying to make a decision, be thankful that you've stumbled here and give Ryan a call. Thank you Ryan!

"I have known Ryan for about one year and have had many opportunities to see him both in court and interacting with clients. He is both competent in court and comforting to his many clients. He is a quick study and isn't afraid to set a case for trial. If you are another attorney wondering whether to send him a criminal defense or DUI case referral, he'll make you look like a hero. If you are a potential client you'll be happy you called him."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
