Mountain to a molehill.

When I retained Mr. Koenig to represent me on a criminal matter, I didn’t know what to expect. I had a matter that had snowballed into a seemingly insurmountable challenge to take on. However, Mr. Koenig through his years of experience and expertise was able handle my case and get me extremely fa...vorable results. I highly recommend Koenig Law if you should be facing a criminal or DUI/DWI case in Truckee.

DUI

Jude is a great communicator -- clear, professional, punctual, and always available. He was upfront with his fees and followed through on all of his commitments. He removed a hit-and-run charge, reduced the probation time and requirements, and with his fees the total for the DUI was somewhere around ...5.5k, whereas you often hear they can be 10-15k. His in-depth knowledge of the some of the more subtle laws ended up being crucial for an out-of-state license. His local experience with the D.A.'s office seemed like it was useful. I don't usually write reviews, but felt I had to in this case -- Jude is excellent.

Jude's THE man!

I hired Jude on two occasions. The first was a DUI. Jude got the DUI lowered to a wet and reckless. I was very pleased with the results. The second was a driving on a suspended. Jude got it dismissed! I was absolutely pleased with that outcome. During the second case, CHP had sent me a bill in regard...s to the wet and reckless which had already been closed. I asked Jude if there was anything I could do and he went out of his way to resolve that issue. I haven't heard from them since. Jude comes with a very fair price and outstanding representation. I would recommend Jude to anyone. Thanks Jude!

Grateful to have found this attorney!

This being my 1st experience facing a (wrongful) DUI charge, and Jude was very communicative, informative, honest with the options, and argued expertly and effectively my case. I never felt under-represented while paying a very fair rate for everything.
