Joel Brand

Fantastic Work at My DUI DMV Hearing Joel did my DUI hearing, and it went very well. For those who don't know, the DMV officer acts as both the judge and jury. Its completely stacked against you. At the outset, the DMV officer spent an inordinate amount of time getting ready. Then going through his own exhibits. At some point, he announced that he would need a continuance. Joel inquired as to why and apparently the DMV officer didn't have a document that he needed. At this point, Joel asked that the continuance request that the DMV officer was requesting (of himself) be denied. Joel made a speech on how not having the document there was not good cause. The document was available, it was just an oversight. After a long back and forth, the hearing officer begrudgingly agreed with Joel. The per se case was to be decided on the evidence available. We did the hearing and then 6 days later I got a notice that I had won. The document missing apparently was critical. Thanks, Joel. View More

Thoughtful, thorough, and responsive I recently started working with Joel and my experience so far has been simply amazing! He's super attentive. Responds lightning fast to calls and texts, and very thorough. I'm hoping to get my case reduced as I have a job that requires me to drive. Fingers crossed. I also have an old arrest that I would like sealed as it recently came up on a job interview. No charge came from it, but it still appears as an arrest on my record so it required some unnecessary explanation. I'll be using Joel to get that removed. 10/10 View More

If you need a DUI lawyer who offers solid, no-nonsense advice, Joel Brand is a good choice. I recently had a DUI scare with a BAC of 0.06, and I reached out to Joel Brand for a free consultation. From the start, Joel provided clear and practical advice about my situation. He explained the legal process, potential outcomes, and my options moving forward. His knowledge and straightforward approach were very reassuring. Joel's insight into negotiating a plea with the DA and handling the DMV hearing convinced me that he was the right attorney for the job. While I haven’t gone through the full process yet, I’m confident in his abilities and look forward to working with him.

Good lawyer Top lawyer, knows his stuff, very professional, and a fellow *JOEL*. He took time to listen to me. Was great to have someone to talk to who knew what was going on. I had lots of concerns. He talked out the angles. Would describe him as direct and straight shooter. I have a crazy schedule. We did our phone call at 11pm on a Saturday. He said it was no biggie cause he was up working anyway. We discussed costs. A lawyer ain’t cheap, but he said that he can take payments. Told me he’d call back after I sent him a copy of the ticket, and he did. Feeling a little better now about the whole thing. View More

A++++++++++++ Great DUI Attorney I can't recommend Joel highly enough. I called him up and after talking to him for about 30 minutes, felt a wonderful pleasant sense of relief. Getting a charge is stressful! Joel knows the laws relating to DUI in and out. He explained what was going to happen clear as day. He reviewed my police report and identified critical details that can be used to negotiate against the DA. It was stuff that I hadn't even noticed. I now think I have a solid strategy to fight this. If you have a DUI ticket, call Joel. I'm really thankful I found him. View More

Joel is a caring guy. He spent a lot of time with me on the phone developing a strategy, which was very reassuring in a difficult time. He knows his stuff. And his followup and follow through was spot-on. Great attention to detail. My case had some complications to it. First of all, there was a solo collision. Secondly, the breath testing machine showed an error. Joel is working to minimize the impact of the former and use the second to throw out critical evidence. Appreciate your assistance, Joel!

First-class service. I would give Mr. Brand a 10 on the 1 to 10. What a fountain of information he is. He has in-depth knowledge of all the California laws, and a very strategic mindset. I spoke on the phone with him at 7pm at night, and we chatted for nearly an hour. I was terrified about my situation. His compassionate and knowledgeable approach made a huge difference in my mindset. One tip. He will ask some very detailed questions about the incident, as well as your past history, so have your paperwork with you during the call. We ended up taking a break, I found the docs and texted him photos. Then we continued the call. In terms of price, his quotation was honest and fair. I would highly recommend him if you are in need of professional help with a DUI. View More
