⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t thank attorneys Christine Vazquez and David Katz enough for the incredible job they did on my DUI case. This wasn’t just a simple DUI — it was tangled with multiple citations and felt completely hopeless. From day one, their attention to detail was unmatched. They took the time to walk me through every step of the process, patiently explaining what to expect and keeping me calm even when things looked bleak. Their skill and dedication turned what seemed like a lost cause into a complete victory — everything was dismissed. I truly believe this outcome wouldn’t have been possible without their expertise and determination. If I ever find myself in a bad situation again, there’s no question I’d go straight to them. And if a friend or family member ever needs help, I’ll be sending them to Christine and David without hesitation. Simply put, they’re the best.

Hired Attorney Christine Vazquez

From Day one Christine was a 24/7/365 resource. She defended everything correctly and sought for every right under the law, navigated all the issues correctly and put on a perfect defense. Thankfully our justice system had the correct response to her efforts and we won the case. Even if that had not happened she was such a breath of freedom in the mist of a legal suffocation. Honorable mention also goes to James Phillips for all his assistance to the case as well. This firm is backed by people who understand our country's foundation and the constitutional rights provided under our laws. I would give a 10 star rating if it was possible.

Very impressed and extremely satisfied! Was facing a 2nd DUI just within 5 years of each other, so I was against very harsh penalties. I never would have recovered from the sentencing. I'm thankful every day that I found Mr. Phillips. There wasn't a single day where I lost my privilege to drive. Of course I was a nervous wreck leading up to my final judgement, but on the days I had in courthouse I felt better by the minute when I watched Mr. Phillips in action. He was awesome! NOT GUILTY!

I was arrested for suspected DUI 4 months ago. I came across Katz and Phillips website, filled in a few things and within 10 minutes James called me and gave me some advise. The hearing was yesterday and Mr. Phillips left no stone unturned when questioning the police officers, he was professional, articulate and to the point. Today he called me to tell me the case had been suppressed and there will be no trial. I would have no hesitation recommending James Phillips.

He works with authority and confidence. You never have to wonder about what is going on with your case, James keeps you informed of the latest status of your case. Furthermore, he is always available for any questions you may have. James always holds his client’s best interest in his hand.

I contacted several attorneys via internet & Mr. Phillips personally called back which impressed me. He was very friendly, down to earth, & consoling. Not only was he the 1st attorney I spoke with, he also assured me he could help me & would be determined to get the best results possible. He got my DUI reduced to wreckless & my other 2 tickets dismissed. He also got the judge to agree to withhold the charge from my record.

If you are drinking and driving, write down his no. because you will eventually get dui. This lawyer is best in state. Don't even think about someone else. He got my case dropped from nowhere. It was impossible. I thank him from my heart.

David Katz is a wonderful man who instantly calmed me down and helped. He is very established and well-reputable in the court system (as is his partner) as well as knowledgable; they know people. He immediately got my license back at a DMV hearing, and made sure my safety and freedom from being out of jail was the first priority. I was offered no deal, yet he was willing to risk his 5 year record of no losses and we went to trial. I wasn't expecting to win but his expertise gave me a not guilty!
