Alison Lee Bermant
DUI and criminal defense lawyer in Truckee and Tahoe City.
I am an experienced DUI and criminal defense Lawyer, and I have successfully represented clients throughout Nevada, Placer and Sierra counties for diverse cases including Driving Under the Influence (DUI), Drug Possession/Sales, Domestic Violence, Vehicular Manslaughter and Sexual Assault since 1999. For examples of cases, check out my website at www.truckeetahoelaw.com. MY LOCAL CONTACTS HELP YOU!
In addition, as a Truckee Lawyer I have represented numerous clients in DMV Administrative Suspension Hearings, Probation and Parole Violation Hearings, Setting aside Convictions, and Reduction of Felonies to Misdemeanors.
I am passionate about responsible and legal use of medical marijuana and strongly and fairly representing those who have been harshly punished by past marijuana laws and the legal system. If you have been persecuted for felony possession, sales or production, I may be able to reduce your charges to misdemeanors or remove them from your record altogether. As your local attorney here in Truckee, I’m here to help.
My office is located in downtown Truckee, just blocks away from the courthouse. Hiring local counsel is a benefit to you!

- Q. Can I travel to Colombia with a pending DUI case in California?
- A: This isn't a straightforward answer of simply yes or no.
Were you released on bail? If so, nearly every bail agreement contains language prohibiting leaving the State of California. If that is the case, you will need permission from your bail agent to take this trip. Without that, you risk a forfeiture of your bail.
If you were released on a promise to appear, the court's often impose similar language that you not leave the State of California and would technically require you to have the court's permission (though this may not be possible to get if you do not have a court case on file yet). Under those circumstances, retaining a lawyer who can assist you would be wise. ... Read More
- Q. CA ATTY's :Is an SR22 start date the date of admin suspension received from the DMV or the date of court conviction?
- A: It is 3 years from the date you reinstated your driving privilege. You can always call the DMV Mandatory Actions Unit to confirm the exact date that happened.
- Q. Expunging felony Dui
- A: Unfortunately a DUI cannot be made an infraction as that is not authorized by statute so even if you ask yes the judge cannot grant that request.
