I worked as a police officer for a municipal agency in Los Angeles County from 1980-2004. I was assigned to the DUI task force for over 2 years and made approximately 1000 DUI arrests in his 24 years on the department. I have testified on numerous occasions as a DUI expert and drug expert in the Los Angeles Superior Court and before the Ventura County Grand Jury. I was also a field training officer and trained newly hired officers in the administration of field sobriety tests and DUI enforcement. I worked the narcotics bureau for 4 years, both in the street enforcement detail and the major violators unit. I was promoted to Sergeant in 1997 and was a patrol supervisor and later worked as the Internal Affairs Sergeant up until the time of his retirement in 2004.
Upon my retirement, I began focusing on criminal defense with an emphasis in DUIs. I was on the Indigent Criminal Defense Panel and represented well over 500 clients during my time on the panel. From 2007-2011 I have worked at two criminal defense firms and am now a solo practitioner.

Expungement - Excellent Result
Mr. York helped me out of a bind approximately one year ago. Because he did such a great job on the original case, I went back to him for an infraction expungement and am glad I did. Mr. York did a great job and the result was exactly what I had hoped for. More actually. Aside from knowl...
"Darrell York is a terrific attorney. His encyclopedic knowledge of statutes, cases, and procedural tactics gives him a huge advantage over most prosecutors. He is incredibly good at cross-examining witnesses who are trying to hide information."
"I have known Darrell York for several years. I have seen him in action in court many times. He is tenacious, aggressive and he does not back down from prosecutors who think they can throw their weight around and step on people's rights. He always puts his clients' interests first and he makes sure that all of their legal needs are addressed in a competent and professional manner. Moreover, Darrell's many years of experience first as a peace officer and now as as a DMV, DUI/criminal defense attorney have given him a breadth of knowledge that is above and beyond most any lawyer I know. Above all, Darrell loves to go to trial. This is one of the most valuable attributes that a criminal defense attorney can have. Darrell's fearlessness when it comes to dealing with the prosecution ensures that his clients' will receive the best results possible either by way of a plea bargain that is beneficial to his clients or by way of jury trial. Darrell won't "dump" a case. He will fight to the end."
"Darrell York is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. He is experienced and a zealous advocate for his clients. He has an insider's knowledge of the legal system that few attorneys can match. I endorse this lawyer."
"Darrell is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. I would recommend him for any kind of case."
"Darrell is a great lawyer. His experience as a former police officer allows him to spot mistakes in investigations. He's always ready to go to trial, but he usually gets good deals for his clients without having to go trial."
"Darrell was a great cop and now he's a great defense lawyer. He knows how cops operate, and especially he knows how to spot police mistakes and take advantage of them. I would rank him among the best criminal and DUI lawyers out there."
"Darrell spent 24 years as a peace officer and he draws on that law enforcement background in defending clients. He is creative, passionate about his cases and always thoroughly prepared. One of the best criminal and DUI lawyers in Los Angeles County. I opposed Darrell on matters when I was a prosecutor; now I work with him on DUI defense."
