Peter did so much more for me than just represent me (an out-of-state client). He answered all my questions, explained each situation with patience, and most importantly, gave me the confidence to move forward. His guidance and words of encouragement have changed my life for the better. When I first spoke with Peter I was sure I had hit rock bottom. His words and consistent support enabled me to pursue "the best" in all areas of my life. I am now more successful than I have ever been, in my personal life and my professional life. Thank you!

Peter fought for me for a year on my DUI case. All said and done he was able to get my DUI reduced to reckless driving. This was amazing as I was dealing with a violation of probation. He kept me out of jail and my driving privileges normal. Thanks Peter.

Peter came highly recommended. His communication throughout the process was great. I could not be happier with the counsel I received or the outcome. You guys saved my life.

In an uncertain time Peter help me navigate through the hoops of a Felony DUI. Never felt any pressure to go with him as my Attorney and he was always response to my questions. If you find yourself in a need of someone, hands down would recommend Peter.

I got a speeding ticket in Costa Mesa. Knowing I had a warrant from 6 years earlier for driving on a revoked license. Knowing it carried mandatory jail time I started seeking legal counsel. Not to mention I had not had a valid driver's license since 1995 from a DUI it now being 2019, 24 years driving without a valid license always looking in the rearview mirror. After placing some calls I contacted Peter that first phone call changed my life. Peter spent a significant amount of time on the first call with me. He told me Let's put this behind you. Take care of this and not just quick fix a problem that will reoccure. Peter and his team went to work for me. The warrant was dismissed. I went into an 18 month alcohol program completed the program. Today I am a licensed driver. Here is my point Peter genuinely cared that I didn't look over my shoulder any more I am 64 years old. A grandfather. That first call changed my life and I have to say thank you for caring and showing me I could fix my problem with the correct guidance. Thank you for your time and effort in turning my life around. Robert Canfield

Peter Iocona and his two partners, Marlo and Alan, at The SoCal Law Network are the best team that I could have hoped for and they honestly saved my career as a doctor in the healthcare field. I was being charged with 1) driving under the influence of alcohol and 2) having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) above 0.08% in April of 2018. I was AQUITTED on both counts/charges when Peter and I took it to trial in March of 2020 (nearly 2 years later). When it came to the DMV hearing that follows a DUI charge, Peter fought my case and the DMV concluded my driver's license was not to be suspended. In short, my BAC was 0.05-0.06%, the field sobriety tests were not perfect, and the police officers did not follow certain protocols, but Peter was always objective when pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of the case and had me ultimately make the decision to move forward to go to trial or not (this was never a clear cut win). He and his partners did everything they could to prevent going to trial, but were always ready to go to trial if needed. During trial, he was articulate in his presentation and VERY well prepared (you can see from his multitude of binders of research papers and proper protocol). He also prepared me well for what was going to happen before and during trial. It was frightening to be in this situation, but Peter knows what he is doing and is very good at it. TRUST HIS PROCESS. Having this charge against me was tremendously stressful and talking to Peter since Day 1, it felt like he understood very well what I was going through emotionally. Early on he assured me that no matter the outcome of the trial or my case, things would be okay in the end. Peter not only expertly managed my case both in and outside of the courtroom, but he was very personable. I chose to go with The SoCal Law Network because they have experience dealing with professional licensing boards. And for these reasons, I would highly recommend The SoCal Law Network to any family and friends. I hate that I was in this situation, but I was thankful to have The SoCal Law Network on my side. TL;DR - Had DUI charges, went to trial, not clear cut win, was acquitted - Managed to keep driver’s license - Peter is an expert in this field - Peter is compassionate and empathetic - had dealt with professional licensing boards - TRUST HIS PROCESS - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

On September 29, 2019 I was charged with dui with hit and and run. My neighbor had blocked half of my driveway with his car and as I backed out I scraped his bumper. I was charged with DUI and hit and run even though I Was there. I found Peter here at AVVO.com and we talked. I believed him when he said he could help me through this. I was worried beyond belief of losing my license etc... I trusted him and he and his team came through like it was my life on the line! ! He guided me on the issues, kept in constant communication and was always there when I needed to talk. It was a first time for me so I was scared, but I trusted him. I couldn’t be more happy I did. I had a very positive result with no hit and run charge, no dui charge only driving while intoxicated which was amazing considering the options. He’s a local attorney in Laguna hills and his team which includes Marlo and Alan all stood firm and not only walked me through this unfortunate incident but worked their Magic for me. I highly suggest you talk to Peter because the other 5 dui attorneys did not even answer or return my calls! You gotta trust this guy! He’s amazing and knows his way around the court system and procedures!

I want to thank Peter and his team at the SoCal Law Network. A friend recommended this firm and it was a fantastic decision. I was stopped when I when into a DUI checkpoint. I chose to do a blood test and spent the night in jail. My blood came back at .08%. I have a clean driving record and this was the first time I have ever had legal trouble. I only interviewed one firm, based on the recommendation. As a result, I received a wet reckless from the civil hearing and the DMV set aside the DUI after Peter proved to the hearing judge and expert witness that I scientifically couldn't have a blood alcohol of .08% and that it was less than the legal limit. Lesson learned, never drink and drive.

Background: Most people will emphasize on the saying "I was at the wrong place at the wrong time" when they are accused of driving under the influence. In my defense, that saying is the epitome of my arrest on March 19th, 2017. I was hit by a drunk driver who totaled my car after failing to yield on a left turn. Like anyone who has been arrested for a DUI, I was terrified. More about the accident, and less about the events that transpired later that night. To this day I can remember the night as if it just happened. Anyways. Back to the story. I was questioned by a police officer after being removed from my vehicle about what I had to drink that night, and well the rest was history. Failed the field sobriety test according to their standards, and blew a 0.07. Still, I was arrested and accused of driving under the influence and driving with a BAC of 0.08 and above at the time of driving. To make my situation worse, I was a newly registered nurse in school finishing my Masters of Science in Nursing. Everything to lose, nothing to gain. I was emotionally distraught and terrified when I was released. Having no experience in DUIs, or defense attorneys I began scrambling for an attorney that would defend my case. After researching the DUI defense attorneys in Socal I came across Peter Iocona, who is one of the attorneys in the SoCal Law Network group. Now, I would lie if I wrote that I was completely convinced when I talked to Peter. Not because I didn't like him. But because I had no idea what I was getting into. I wanted answers, and I wanted them fast. But the reality was that I needed to just bite the bullet and hire someone who provided me security beyond the retainer fees and contracts involved. This attorney was Peter Iocona. At the time of the incident he was present, attentive, and constantly reassured me that everything would work out. But more importantly, he provided me with a realistic outlook. Which is what I needed. Not to mention, the court that my complaint was filed to is infamous for being the absolute worst when it comes to the DUI convictions. It is always refreshing to hear to raw truth from someone because you know its more than the money. Let's fast forward here. Today is February 11th, 2019. On January 31st, 2019 my case was acquitted. It took TWO YEARS for my case to be resolved. My attorney Peter Iocona and his partners, spent TWO YEARS being persistent with bringing my charges down to at LEAST a wet and reckless because that is what my case was worth. TWO YEARS were filled with arraignments, pre-trials, and meetings with DA. TWO YEARS later and the DA still would not budge due to the lack of justice the system actually cared about. TWO YEARS later my options were to 1. accept the DUI charges (2 charges) 2. go to trial. With support from my family, friends, and Peter I took my case to trial. Those of you who end up in a trial, or are thinking about it, be prepared for the emotional ride But also know that Peter Iocona is THE best DUI defense attorney off trial and in trial. He comes well prepared to the trial, and is knowledgeable. He is careful and experienced in all the right areas. Peter is absolutely phenomenal in trial with his organized approach. No words can explain how great Peter Iocona is as a defense attorney. He is professional, and best of all he's passionate. He is there for all his clients via phone, text, or email at any time. This was so important for me to have during these hard years. I recommend Peter Iocona and the SoCal Law Network if you are a professional individual seeking top notch representation. This is my success story. The time and financial commitment are huge, but every dollar and minute was worth it for me. Peter and his partners will defend your DUI and professional license if you have one. Today I am still a Registered Nurse with my Master of Science in Nursing and enrolled in a Nurse Practitioner program. I highly recommend Peter Iocona.

One of the best criminal defense lawyers in Orange County. I was scared s***less when was confronted with a possible 2 year prison sentence but Peter walked me through the whole thing every step of the way. Always answered my messages or calls when I had a question and told me exactly what to do throughout the whole ordeal. When cops tell you to tell them everything because they "want to help you" don't believe them. When Peter tells you to tell him everything because he wants to help you, obey his every word. Needless to say the whole thing took about 6 months and the case was eventually dismissed. His services are not cheap but his expertise is what you pay for. Thankfully he was able to work with me. When you need a lawyer act fast and call Peter! Thanks a lot Mr. Iocona. You're the best. Hopefully I never need to call you again but if I do, I have your number.
