“Absolutely the best DUI LAWYER in all of California...Though it took some serious convincing, And a lot of hard work Damian was able to get Anthony's second time DUI criminal case reduced to an exhibition of speed - with reduced fines, no alcohol class, and no jail...his expertise in this field is definitely one of a kind and it's very hard to come across an honest, dedicated attorney to every single case.”

SUSPENDED LICENSE
Specialized Expertise
Getting pulled over for a suspended license is a nasty surprise: car impounded, fines, points and criminal charges. Many people don’t even know their license is suspended or why.

DMV HEARINGS
Protect Your License
For every DUI arrest in California there is a separate DMV hearing where you can challenge the suspension of your driver’s license provided you claim it within 10 days of your arrest.
