Dave Jake Schwartz

In summing up the already existing reviews of Mr. Schwartz; HE IS A MUST HIRE! I trusted the Unilocal community with personal reviews about their experience and chose to hire based upon those positive responses. Jake truly handled all aspects of my dilemma with minimal interference to my personal life. I would refer and Will refer all family and friends in any predicament to contact jake, his knowledge alone will re-​assure any wary soul.

This guy is seriously a must hire, my roomie was stopped a few months ago and Jake actually picked up the phone while he was on vacation in Mexico! He took care of everything, the courts, the Judge, the DMV, and insurance.
Answered all of his questions, emailed and emailed back, CALLED Back, and even TEXTED Him Back! Talk about stressed out — major relief from the first call to the end. Nothing goes away completely, but this is a much easier way to handle the potentially insurmountable problem.
Responded within hours if not minutes for everything he needed. I’ve never heard of a lawyer like this — everything you want and nothing that you expect.
More than that and most important — he saved a bundle of $$$$, Green, Moola — The Good Stuff by hiring this guy. We’re talking about his insurance not being tripled (or raised at all). He knows every loophole available. Or maybe it’s just solid knowledge that he related to my buddy. What blew me away was all of the B.S. mail he received about 2 weeks later — AFTER the time that DMV takes your license away for a year. That’s right — if he hadn’t hired Mr. Schwartz immediately he may have lost his license for a year. Something you have to do within 10 days after the dui — REALLY IMPORTANT.
Jake gives Lawyers a good name.
Truly Exceptional Service!

Amazing!
Jake is an excellent attorney .
He made time to answer all my questions clearly, kept me up to speed with things that were happening in my case.
He has a great positive attitude and is extremely professional.
He advocated for me and I had a great outcome in my case.
He exceeded my expectations and yes, I would recommend him to anyone in this situation.
Thank you Jake!

Just want to say this guy is awesome! Easy to get in contact with and helped me understand all the quirky court things an outsider might not know about. My only wish is that I had got into contact with him sooner after my arrest. So, if you find yourself in legal trouble, definitely give him a call ASAP!!! The earlier the better honestly. Also the anatomy of a DUI image on his website is killer so give that a look.

A DUI is a big deal if it happens in your own state … imagine being 3000 miles from home. The worst fear is the unknown. If for no other reason this is why you should pick up the phone and call Dave now. He will tell you what you are up against and what you can do to make the outcome more favorable. David will take the time to make sure you understand all the legalize. Not knowing what can happen is the worst !! David understands this and will have you in the know after your first call.

I just wanted to say thank you, you saved my dad’s life by getting his DUI reduced to a wet and wreck less, he would have lost everything if it weren’t for you! Having you take care of this for him made this easy on all of us! Thanks for taking care of business! I hope we never need your help again but at least if we do we’ll have the best DUI lawyer ever! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hiring Jake was the best decision for me! I was (in my opinion) on the cusp of a full DUI and wet/​reckless verdict, so I knew hiring an attorney would be a good idea. Jake was patient and calmed my nerves through the whole ordeal. He’s not much of a «call you for every little thing» kind of attorney, which was good for me since I was almost able to forget my arrest even happened! Then I got the good news that I had been charged with a wet/​reckless. I’ll never know if I would have been so lucky if not for him, but I sure am glad I stacked the odds in my favor =D

Mr. Schwartz was great!!! Obviously being very nervous about getting my first DUI Mr. Schwartz helped and guided me through the entire process. He explained all my options clearly to me and the results were beyond my expectations. He got the best possible outcome for me considering… If you are unfortunate enough to get a DUI this is the person to call!

The night I got my DUI was one of the most embarrassing and scariest experiences. This was my first time getting into any kind of trouble with the law. I was devastated and felt lost. I decided to call Jake the next day, after our conversation I felt more at ease. Nothing is going to change what happened that night, but we can control the outcome of the mess we got ourselves into. I’m glad I had Jake representing me. He walked me through each step, and made it as easy as possible for me. He was very honest and realistic about my situation, and was always there to answer any questions. I highly recommend him. Thank you Jake!

My relative got into an messy situation because of not following through on some paperwork. Jake was able to explain how to possibly resolve the situation while not making any promises that it would work. His explanation was very detailed and knowledgeable by explaining what to do and what could happen every step of the way. His presentation to the judge was to the point, sincere and convincing. We were impressed by his professionalism and courtesy. He is a treasure. I would recommend him to my family and friends without hesitation.

Whether it’s your first or you umpteenth, a DUI is scary in today’s world. You need someone who knows the courts, the judges and the district attorneys. Jake is your man. One call to Jake and your fears and worries dissolve.
I found Jake’s website and emailed him. He called me back within 2 hours and walked me through a do-​it-​yourself scenario. But his selling point was simply, «The judge is a lawyer. The D.A. is a lawyer. Do you really want to go to court without a lawyer on your side?» I retained him immediately, and he began processing my case before he received my check. There were only 2 surprises in my case and both were in my favor. I also got a $ 200 refund on my bail bond by hiring Jake. And although I am still under probation and attending the DUI classes, I feel confident I could call him for advice should any snag occur. Hire this man. He is the best. And DO WHAT HE SAYS.

If you choose Jake as your attorney, you def won’t be disappointed. I was deciding between a few different attorneys in the area; after speaking with Jake he made the decision very easy. He is extremely knowledgeable, explains everything so that you understand, and helps makes things a lot easier than what it would be without him handling everything for you every step of the way. Very favorable outcome; I would recommend him to my friends and family.

Jake is the BEST lawyer for all your DUI needs. Not that you should use him on a regular basis, but when you need to… He guided me through the myriads of the legal system with care, patience, assurance and humor. He is an attorney that you can rely upon, available to here out one’s concerns and freaking outs — okay, mine. He is amazingly astute of the laws, yet relaxed, confident and possessing a nature that puts you at ease. Aces in my book. Thanks, Jake.

Essentially, Jake is awesome.
After getting into an unfortunate predicament, a friend of mine recommended that I give Jake a call. Upon calling, I was immediately put at ease about all of my worries.
Jake handled my case with extreme professionalism and confidence. I was able to step aside nearly forget the mess I was in. His help allowed me to focus on the more important things going on in my life at the time. All the while, I knew that things were getting done to the best of their ability.
It was a great pleasure to work with Jake and and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anybody if they find themselves in an unfortunate legal situation.

Made an otherwise terrible situation into a pleasant experience.

Thank You Jake. He was able to get my bogus DUI charge removed, fine reduced significantly (who knew having a blowout was wreckless driving?) and i have my full driving privileges with my actual driver’s license. Too many things to mention. Highly recommended.

I am from southern california and was traveling to sonoma for a wedding that my girlfriend was a bridesmaid in. I received a DUI and was very scared and had no idea what I was going to do, or what would happen. After my girlfriend, family and I researched lawyers in the Bay Area, we all came to the same decision that Jake Schwartz would be my attorney. What brought us to this decision was first off his own personal website. Very helpful, very informative, and you can tell Jake has top knowledge with Dui’s. After calling and speaking to Jake, he calmed me down and took me through things step by step. He put my mind at ease. Jake was more than informative, compassionate, an very helpful. Jake went above and beyond for me and my family, and got the best possible results given my situation. I am forever grateful for attaining Jake as my attorney and want everyone else to know, if you need DUI representation, don’t hesitate… CALL JAKE.
Jake, thank you so much for all of your help and extensive knowledge. Your very professional, and go above and beyond helping your clients receive the best outcome possible for their situation. You went to all ends and every step to help me and I am forever grateful for you and your services.

Jake helped make the best of a bad situation when I found myself in need of legal representation. After researching DUI attorneys, Jake had more experience, knowledge, confidence and charisma then his colleges. He was available, over the phone or in person and answered my questions without charging more than the reasonable agreed upon amount. He turned my DUI arrest into a wet and reckless misdemeanor. No jail time, lower fines (even payable in an affordable monthly fee), immediately saved my license for five months, not only fought the criminal courts but the DMV for me and basically eased my worries so I could concentrate on other matters. I hope to never need an attorney again but if I do it will be this man! Thanks Jake!

I remember when I first talked to Jake. My case seemed simple and he even told me that I really did not need to hire him for my case. I was not sure what I was doing and he seemed honest and straight forward. It was the best decision I have ever made. Jake has been so helpful through this entire process. I never would have known what to do if it was not for him. He never gave me false hope or made promises he could not keep. He always kept me well informed and was able to take action immediately and with speed. Communication was amazing during this process. Hopefully I will never have to hire him again, but if any of my friends ever had this happen to them, I wouldn’t let them hire anyone else. I can not thank Jake enough for all the help he has given me and the peace of mind he gave me during this difficult time. Hiring Jake was definitely the best decision I could have made.

Mr. Jake Schwartz ably handled my case from beginning to end, taking on court appearances, filing with DMV, and negotiating with the District Attorney to get a reduced charge with no class time for me.
He was accessible, knowledgeable, and professional throughout. I highly recommend him.
