Jude Michael Koenig

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.

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.

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.

I called Jude after researching the best criminal defense attorneys in Truckee / Tahoe. He responded to my call immediately and set up a consultation. During our consultation at his office, he was very upfront and honest about my case. He did not make any false promises about the outcome and made eve...rything about the court processes very clear and easy to understand. Which was extremely helpful. Jude has excellent communication skills. Every call and email was responded to promptly, usually within a few hours. Jude has a great reputation in the community and was a former prosecutor for Truckee / Tahoe DA’s office, and has an in-depth understanding of how cases are prosecuted in this area in specific. He went the extra mile to supeona and review all evidence and findings in my case. Resulting in what I consider the most lenient outcome with the DA and the presiding Judge possible. Instead of being incarcerated, I received 3 years probation and very generously suspended fines. At the end of the day, Jude did not promise me an exaggerated outcome, he was very honest about the factors of my case in specific. He was able to work to get me a very leinient outcome because of his knowledge and hard work. In my opinion Jude was worth every penny paid. I would recommend him to any person in the Truckee / Tahoe area facing criminal prosecution.
