Jude Michael Koenig

After being involved in a very unfortunate incident while visiting Lake Tahoe for a vacation, I had the fortune of finding Jude Koenig to represent me as my defense lawyer. As a person who had never had one scrape with the law throughout my lifetime, like a lot of others, I was initially overwhelmed ...by everything I was going through from a criminal law perspective. Once I got in touch with Jude and had the opportunity to discuss my situation in detail, my anxiety and fears greatly diminished. He was very intelligent, knowledgeable and did an amazing job of keeping my spirits on a positive level. I immediately felt like I was in the best hands and, fortunately base on the results, I certainly was. From that initial call where Jude listened intently and compassionately about the details of my incident to the conclusion of my trial and sentencing process, Jude was so on top of every detail that it was amazing to watch. He explained every step very clearly and also explained every strategic initiative he recommended very clearly - while always allowing my input. In the end, I felt that 100% certain that the outcome that Jude orchestrated in my case was to best result I could have hoped for given the circumstances. Based on my personal experience with Jude Koenig, I would highly recommend him for any family or friend without hesitation.

I hired Jude to represent me for a very serious sexual assault case. I was facing a wrongful rape charge. There was some, but very little evidence against me. Ultimately Jude was able to get the case 100% dismissed. He was able to get all of the police reports, interviews, evidence, etc. and provided... all of that information to me throughout the course of the case. He was also able to file a waiver that did not require me to be in court in person as I live out of the area, and always kept me informed via e-mail with what happened that day and when my next court date would be. In my opinion he took a very realistic approach to what the outcome may be, always preparing me for the reality of the matters at hand, never sugar coating anything. The reality was that I was facing a maximum of 8 years in prison and a lifetime sex offender registration. Needless to say these were some very serious consequences. After months, and countless court dates, Jude was able to get this case 100% dismissed! There could not have been a better outcome! To Jude, I would just like to say THANK YOU! I am forever grateful to you for your services and I could not recommend hiring a better attorney in the Tahoe-Truckee area. If you are in trouble, do yourself a favor and give Jude M. Koenig a call!

I was encouraged to hire an attorney to handle a potential DUI case so I called Jude based off of reviews. I left a message for him and was called back almost immediately. He asked me some questions about my case, then explained exactly what his process would be, what immediate steps and timelines wo...uld look like, and then his contract arrangement. He was very transparent and clear with no hidden costs or surprises. I found him to be very reasonable and worth every penny. Jude was completely accessible, responsive, and he clearly knew what he was doing. He's a fast talker, so it's important to make sure you understand what he's explaining, and do not be afraid to ask him to repeat something. I was well prepared and followed everything he told me to do, so once I got to court I knew exactly what to expect. I could have never navigated such a complex process without him.

I am pleased to wholeheartedly recommend Jude and his legal services. I had never been in trouble with the law before and was extremely nervous about my first offense DUI. Jude took the time to explain the process, and expertly navigated the options including securing the best possible outcome in c...ourt. I was clearly guilty so I was found guilty and paid my fines, did traffic school, and MADD courses, and Jude kept me out of jail and kept the penalties as minimal (while significant) as possible. Best of all, over two years later the conviction and probation were causing issues for my business and loans, etc., so Jude went above and beyond to go back to court very quickly on my behalf and secured the relief I needed from the Court. This saved my business and my reputation and I cannot thank Jude enough for going above and beyond to help me. His compensation was more than fair (and a bargain in retrospect) and his service and expertise were top notch.

In October of 2018, I was stopped and arrested for DUI right at/under the legal limit. The very first thing I did was search for a DUI attorney in the Truckee area, and Jude's name was top of the list. Everyone I spoke to highly recommended his practice. His price was more than fair and away we went ...with the legal process. Throughout, Jude kept me aptly informed as to what was transpiring with my case and where we stood. After a couple months of, what was for me, easy going, we were able to settle for a wet and reckless charge. This came with a small court fee, no jail, no community service, no AA. Then, Jude went to battle against the CA DMV on my behalf, which we were sure we would lose and my license would be suspended. However, thanks to how thorough and knowledgeable Jude is, I was able to keep my driving privilege and did not have to face any negative repercussions from the DMV. Now, while I would have hoped to have the entire case cleared with no conviction whatsoever, the issue really came down to cost and my lack of funding to continue to proper trial. This is in no way a reflection on Jude and his practice. He kept me informed as to the costs of everything and we did not proceed any further unless I said go. He did his absolute best for me and I am more than happy with the outcome. I highly recommend his practice and will be enlisting his services in the future for record clearing. Thank you Jude!!!
