Sure if you want to take your chances

Michael Rehm was a horrible option for an attorney for my dui case. I was a first-time offender with no priors and he literally did the bare minimum at times, but displayed mostly below average effort. He did not maintain contact, was highly abrasive and hard to communicate with and never struck me a...s anyone who valued me as a client. I'd never met him in person and on the opportunity I did have (court date) he decided to send his less than respectable associate instead. Michael basically got me what any other offender would have gotten in this case, likely the same results I would have gotten representing myself or hiring a public defender. It was a waste of money and he made the experience that much more difficult and troubling. Don't chance it.

Michael is the one to represent you. Worth every dollar!

Contacting Michael for a consultation upon receiving a possible 3rd DUI in May 2014 was the best decision I have ever made. He clearly knows his stuff and provides realistic feedback on what opportunities you have to win. He gave me an outlook of the game plan and for me to relax. Michael took care o...f everything and answered all my questions. When it was finally time for court in November 2014 Michael demonstrated his experience and skill in front of the judge. He had a tenacity in him to use all discovery information as well as responses from the officer during cross examination well in his favor. Michael was able to win my case and really save my future. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone in a DUI situation.

Michael Rehm is a true professional who cares about his clients.

Michael Rehm walked me through the DUI / DWI process and helped to make a bad situation better. He provided me with all the information I needed as well as gave me support whenever I had questions. He responded quickly and friendly and always treated me with respect and compassion. Mr. Rehm's knowled...ge of the law and the DUI / DWI process is not limited to Sacramento County, he was able to provide specific, timely answers about the county I had questions about. Mr. Rehm represented himself as a true professional in court and gave me the confidence that every "I" was dotted and every "T" was crossed. It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Rehm and I would reccomend him if ever you are in need of an attourney.

Not worth what I paid! Should have represented myself!

I had gotten a DUI and asked a friend if they knew of a good DUI att. and was told to check out Michael Rehm. From day one I felt that something was kinda not right. Way... to laid back. I was nervous to even go with him but he came reccommended from a friend so i wanted to give him the benefit of t...he doubt. I Should have just represented myself or us a pd! Would have saved me a lot of money! I feel like i did all of the work. I told him my case and it seemed like he was more interested in making extra money going to trial then to actually help me. 1. I had been the one making all the calls to be in contact with him. He never called me unless i texted him, called him and left a voice mail, and sent him an e-mail....then i would get a call saying "Don't worry, I am taking care of it" 2. Pushed out my dates further and further with DMV and never contacted me to let me know. Once again only unless i called him, texted him, and sent him a e-mail did he call me back and tell me once again "I'm taking care of it!" 3. When we (ME) trying to fight this and show that the cop lied he never really fought for me, I got the same deal as what a lot of 1st time offenders were getting when he told me I was getting a deal! "BS" He by far has been one of the worst attorney's I have ever dealt with! I wouldnt reccommend him to anyone! *Oh and to top it off he sent his assistant to represent me and the guy didnt know his head from he rear! He was SO all over the place and didnt know what the hell he was doing nor saying! I was so embarassed in court to be standing next to this guy! I could have picked a bum off the street throw a suit on him and he could have represented me better! I had to speak to the judge cause this guy was so bad! OMG what a nightmare all of this BS was! Never Never Ever will i be contacting this office again!

Find a different attorney

If you need an attorney, look somewhere else. This guy paints a rosy picture when you first talk to him, but after he's got your money, good luck getting ahold of him again. And if you're expecting him to actually show up to represent you in court, keep your fingers crossed. There's a good chance ...it won't happen. You'll get a lot of "oops, my assistant..." stories and not much else. In my DUI situation, my license was suspended for twice the amount of time it should have been because he failed to show up for the DMV hearing. He also left me waiting over an hour and a half in court wondering if he was ever going to show up for that hearing. Having to explain to the judge that you don't know where your attorney is isn't a pleasant experience. Beware.
