San Diego Defenders were one of the best investments I have done. I was arrested for a DUI, with a BAU of 1.5. After notifying my employer, it became obvious, that I was in jeopardy of loosing my job. My attorney was able to negotiate a reduction of charges, and safe my job. I hope I never have to refer anyone, however, it the need came up, I would not hesitate to strongly recommend SD Defenders.

After running into some legal troubles, I saw an ad for San Diego Public Defenders and called them up. I am so glad that I did. Dan, Layla and Jon were all amazing to work with. Layla was always available to answer any questions I had and was nothing but genuinely friendly. Dan is an amazing lawyer and gets the job done. He doesn't make promises that he knows he cannot keep and was upfront with me about my options. Dan had my misdemeanor charge dropped to an infraction and I couldn't be more grateful for everything they have done to help me through this difficult time. Thank you for all your help! I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

They recovered my truck that was valued at $32000 after I spoke with 15 other lawyers and they all said to just give up Mr. Smith was able to get it back for me from CBP.

I received a response very fast, and the person that I talked to gave me a lot of advice. And it was free.

Answered my call right away and directly, was super patient with me as I went over my situation and worries. He explained a lot of things to me and truly took his time breaking everything down for me. Even made a joke at the end saying I hope I never have to call him again. He didn’t try to set up consultation and take any type of fee, he was incredibly genuine in his approach.

I had an issue with potential client that after a transaction may be into illegal activity, I contacted Dan Smith & he answered all of my questions & analyzed my situation & advised me on how to proceed free of charge. A great phone call

Call San Diego Defenders Now, make your legal situation resolvable. I can tell you that the service, support and professionalism given me by San Diego Defenders has been absolutely wonderful. Call them if you need help. They really care about their clients. Any other lawyer would of given in and most likely made me plea to something that I should of never plead to. San Diego Defenders fought for My Rights, for the law as it applies and for a Great out come in my case. San Diego Defenders fought for justice and never gave up. I am thankful for everything they did in every court appearance on my behalf.

Dan was great help with some info on an asset seizure that happened out of false info! He explained why the US Customs did what they did and said if I need future help he is only a phone call away!

As soon as I called the office, the staff was very polite and undestanding. They assisted me and answered all my questions. The lawyer called me back the same day and I was amazed on his excellent customer service and professionalism. He answered all my questions. He knows the law and put my mind at ease. Thank you so much.

We were facing loosing our brother to a prison term if three years, who is also the caretaker of our mother to a DUI, and we saw no way out. He may never see our mother alive again if he went to prison for that long. We then were fortunate enough to be led to Attorneys Dan Smith and Jon Pettis of SAN DIEGO DEFENDERS in Chula Vista. They were amazingly competent and skilled in handling the case. They caught every discrepancy in the original report and even went to the location of the incident at the same time of day to verify the reports accuracy. These guys are the the real Perry Mason's! Never ever did we expect this type of support even from the office staff. The time they spent on this case was as if this was their only case. They were never too busy to talk or unreachable. We are grateful to them and for all the man hours they put into this case and for the VERY AFFORDABLE PAYMENT PLAN. We did pray to be led to the perfect attorney...I BELIEVE HE ANSWERED. I recommend them highly to anyone that wants the best chance for success.

I am a defense attorney from New York and wanted to find out the laws and codes of San Diego and I called up and spoke to a very courteous attorney who took the time to speak with me and gave me the information I needed. Thank you!

I went in yesterday because I thought I was going to get a DUI. I spoke to Daniel about my case and everything that happened that night. I was ready to hire him but was having second thoughts because I was unsure of my BAC level and unsure if I should wait. He was kind enough to take the time and check out my BAC report. After him checking he walked back in and told me that I didn't need his services and he gave me my card back. He didn't charge me anything but he was kind enough to help me out. I definitely recommend this place. He changed my view about lawyers.
