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. 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. Completing form CR-180 for a felony DUI. If I’m looking to expunge this, how would I do that?
- A: It is a two part process but fortunately the form includes this language: 8. Petitioner requests that the eligible felony offenses listed above be reduced to misdemeanors under Penal Code section 17(b)
and eligible misdemeanor offenses be reduced to infractions under Penal Code section 17(d)(2). You may want to circle that and remind the court of this at the time of your hearing. The petition must be served on the DA and probation department 15 days before the court hearing.
- 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.
