Law Offices of Aaron Bortel - San Rafael, CA

Serving clients from our San Rafael, California, office, the Law Offices of Aaron Bortel provide dedicated representation across DUI defense, DUI laws, DUI marijuana allegations, ignition interlock issues, first-offense DUI, second- and third-offense DUI and DUI testing disputes. Facing a DUI charge is a serious matter, and selecting skilled counsel can determine the trajectory of your case.

We recognize that a DUI arrest often follows an isolated lapse in judgment rather than a pattern of wrongdoing. Many of our clients are professionals, parents and community members who have never before faced criminal charges and the uncertainty of the process can be frightening. From the initial traffic stop through field sobriety testing and breath or blood analysis, we help clients understand every stage of what lies ahead.

Drawing on over 30 years of concentrated experience in Marin County DUI defense, we approach each matter as its own unique challenge rather than applying a one-size-fits-all strategy. Our objective is to safeguard our clients' driving privileges, reduce or eliminate financial penalties, secure dismissed or lessened charges, help clients avoid jail time and protect their long-term record.

Our representation extends across all Bay Area counties, in both courtroom and DMV settings, covering misdemeanor and felony DUI allegations, as well as related charges such as driving on a suspended license or marijuana-related violations. We routinely handle administrative per se hearings and have successfully assisted numerous clients in preserving or reinstating their licenses.

We firmly believe that an arrest is not synonymous with guilt. Law enforcement procedures are not infallible, and we work diligently to identify errors or missteps that can lead to reduced or dismissed charges. Beyond the courtroom, we offer genuine support to clients navigating one of the more difficult periods of their lives.

We accept credit cards, offer virtual appointments and provide free initial consultations. Reach out to us today for your case evaluation.
