 "Nors' Efforts Literally Changed My Life" 5.0 stars Posted by anonymous, a DUI Client

"When I first hired my attorney for my DUI case, I knew nothing about Nors. I was told by some friends to be represented by Robert Tayac, because he was the best. Throughout most of my case, I only dealt with Nors. I never even met Robert until my actual hearing date, when my sentence was going to be determined. Even though my blood alcohol level was barely over the legal limit, I still had the potential to be served with a DUI. When Mr. Tayac came out of the courtroom, he said I was to be charged with a DUI. This would also mean that I would lose my driver's license for 6 months. In a panic, I called Nors, who was on his way from another case. Nors assured me, "don't panic, I'm on my way". When Nors arrived to the courtroom, he then said that although he didn't know if it would work, he would try going back into the courtroom to ask for an extension and another hearing date. Mr. Tayac never even offered me that option. Well, as it turned out, Nors DID get the extension for me, and when we went back to court a month later, he got my charges reduced to a wet and reckless, which means I would not have a DUI charge on my record. In addition, Nors also fought for me at the DMV, and I never had my driver's license suspended, not even for one day. I can't begin to describe my gratitude to Nors, and the work and effort he put into my case. Nothing like this will ever happen to me again, but I would trust Nors Davidson 100% if I ever needed an attorney again. He is truly amazing."

"Nors is 100% the best DUI attorney I've had the experience working with. I received my first DUI in San Jose about 7 years ago. I was trying to flag down a cab and instead I ended up flagging down a cop instead. Rather than put me in a cab the arrested me for drunk in public. Then I was released, given the keys to my car and told to 'go home'. I tried to do exactly that and was immediately pulled over for a DUI..!!! In all honesty, my "First DUI" should have NEVER been a DUI - drunk in public "requires" the police to hold you 'until you are no longer a harm to yourself or others' - that's the law. They broke the law and told me to go home and gave me essentially a weapon. I thought I was only hungover, I could not fathom they would let me drive home drunk. I went through about $10,000 - $15,000 and 3 THREE law firms. All saying the same thing 'they can't do that, we'll get you off' They all (except the last, which chickened out at the court house and scared me into taking a plea of a wet reckless) quit returning my phone calls once they had my money. Alas, I recently had a bad experience where I had too much to drink and since the law was changed it was a SECOND offense (law was changed to 10 years in 2007). Well suffice to say I got really lucky and Nors was one of the first DUI attorneys here in SF I spoke to for this now '2nd offense DUI'. I evaluated several law firms after my utterly horrible past experiences with DUI attorneys. Ultimately I went with my 'gut' and hired Nors vs. a more expensive attorney (his prices are very reasonable). Nors was extremely professional, he calmed my nerves, he 'took the monkey off my back' (to borrow his words) so I could return to focusing on my life. Long story short, Nors "always" returned my phone calls. We met in person and went over all the details of my case, he informed me of all the ins and outs with regard to the specifics of my case and he made me aware that there was a serious issue regarding my arrest. I gave my approval for him to file a motion to suppress (which has about a less than 1% chance of success). Well I'm almost in disbelief as I type this because while the DMV ruling still stands my court case was DISMISSED! You can't put a price on that. I *never* intend to drink and drive again. Ever. However, not having to deal with Jail, Probation, and another "criminal mark" on my record is priceless. If you are in need of a DUI attorney in the bay area Nors is by far the best one out there in my experience and opinion. Thank you SO MUCH Nors! You're work is superb and your professionalism is unparalleled!"

"Greatest of all time. Nors had helped two other family members of mine with their cases before I required his services and won them all. My case was complicated and lengthy to say the least given the state the courts find themselves in due to the Pandemic, they are backed up beyond belief with cases since before COVID let alone all the new ones since then. Nors was honest from the start of what this might look like good or bad and really prepares you for what may happen. He was able to win my DMV case which made it so I didn't lose my DL even before we set foot inside a court house. He is an absolute master in his profession and is truly in his element to command the court room. When you have someone like that sitting by your side it puts you at ease at what is one of the most stress full situations a person may find themselves in. Not only did Nors WIN my case he also worked with me to have all records pertaining to the case sealed and destroyed. I cant thank Nors and God enough for helping me beat this case. The best thing you can do for yourself is have an expert in your corner and Nors is the GOAT for a reason he is simply the best."

"During the pandemic I hired Nors to represent me for a rather complex  DUI case. While the case had a refusal and other challenging aspects Nors was a steadfast expert who navigated a whole host of lengthy court delays and was able to get a rather impressive deal given the circumstances. What is also equally important is Nors is trustworthy, kind, detail oriented, and it doesn't hurt that he is personally connected to the system he works in on our behalf. Cheers Nors, thanks for helping me put an end to this chapter of my life and move forward feeling positive again!"

"There are not enough words that I can say that explain my gratitude for Nors. One of the best human beings and probably one of the best lawyers you can hire for DUI cases. In 2019, I had the opportunity to hire him to help me out with my first DUI. Throughout the pandemic in 2020, he was there every step of the way and keeping me informed on how my case was going. He appeared on my behalf whenever I had a court date. Throughout the whole situation, Nors was able to get my DUI charge dropped down to a wet-reckless. If anyone is looking to hire a lawyer to settle your DUI charges. I can not think of anyone better than Nors." 

"I was visiting San Francisco for a work conference. Had the last minute idea of going to a wine festival and driving back to San Fran where my Air BnB during the weekend. I got pulled over for using my cell phone, and taken to jail with a .148. Napa was wanting 3 weeks jail time, which could result in job loss because I didn't have enough vaca days to cover that. Nors fought for me and got the minimum, but I did do over 100 hours of AA and alcohol abuse counseling. That helped. Overall, I have driven probably less then 200 miles and have a DUI in Cali not my shining accomplishment in life, but makes for a story. I had a million questions, and Nors answered as many as they could. Thank you again for all your help and assistance. I talked to probably 10 DUI lawyers to handle my case, and I felt I had a connection with Nors and that he would do a good job. I really wanted to get off, but with .148 blood it isn't really possible. He tried though, and I am happy I didn't have to stay 3 weeks in jail. "

"Let me start by saying that I can't thank Nors enough to help me with my DUI Case. My case was one of the most complicated cases Nors must have dealt with considering the immigration consequences involved. Having yourself in a DUI situation can be a terrible feeling specially during these unpredictable COVID-19 times where everything is being handled virtually. Mails get lost, court dates get pushed and the person who's most affected by this is people like me and you. My DUI case went on for about 1.5 years. It was an extreme case due to my immigration being involved. It was a DUI Refusal Case which with a high BAC. Cases such as these are treated with strict policies and laws especially in San Mateo county. Nors was always there to push and come up with unique solutions to solve my case and help me get the best results possible. It is almost impossible to get a DUI refusal case to a Wet Reckless / Reckless Driving conviction but it did happen and it happened with Hard work and unique approach of Nors. I pushed him and he pushed me to get the best results possible considering the circumstances of my DUI case. Rest assured, at times, you might feel like giving up but at the end all what matters is you and your optimistic behavior in dealing with life situations like these. Nors helped me throughout the case. He was professional and even during these unpredictable times, he tried as hard and as much as he can to answer my calls and reply to my E-mails. I am proud of my decision to hire him as my DUI attorney and I will advise you that if you are in a DUI situation where chances aren't looking favorable on your side, hire him as your DUI attorney now. He will fight for you till the end and you will be surprised with the results that you will get. "

"Nors is #1, bar none. I had what seemed to be an impossible DUI case at the time. But Nors was persistent with the court, and made sure that we received the best possible outcome. I'll always be grateful to him. I'd give 7 stars if I could."

"3 words to describe Nors' efforts with my case: persistent, knowledgeable, professional. My DUI case from April 2011 resurfaced after about 6 years after I was the victim of a hit and run accident in SF in January 2017. Unbeknownst to me, there had been a warrant out for my arrest, and I then had to deal with the case after I was informed in 2011 that the case would be discharged after one year. The clerk had told me that I would be contacted if/when the case would be put on calendar, which never happened. Apparently this had become a regular occurrence in the SF court process years ago, as they were backlogged with too many cases, yet failed to notify the defendant/party involved of the warrant, nor even contact them. Upon my first phone consultation with Nors, he made me aware of this and that he had already dealt with similar DUI cases that had been dropped by the DA office, some with far worse charges. The process took awhile, but thanks to Nors' persistence and knowledge of the SF DA office and superior experience with DUI cases in general, he was completely focused on having the charges dropped completely. Nors was completely honest and upfront about the possibilities had the DA attempted to prosecute the case, but never promised me a he result, which other DUI attorneys had done. If you are reading these reviews and exercising your due diligence, I know what you are going through. I was more stressed than most people who had a DUI charge, and became both obsessive and compulsive about finding the "perfect" DUI attorney for my case. I am so glad I consulted Nors, and just wish I had done it sooner. I hope you avoid going through the days and weeks of stress that I put myself through, and instead retain Nors. "

"Nors was great! He told me all of my options beforehand so I knew what to expect. When I had a seizure he went over the options again because it changed things. He came up with a plan and things went like he said they would. I recommend his services highly."

"The DUI case was delay by the DA office a lot of times, it took around 15-18 month before we head to the jury trial. Nors was helping me to fight the case, working hard on finding the witness where in the police reports which took a long time from the DA to us. i was worry at the start because it is the first time, but Nors told me it will be alright. and turn out to be alright. We finally set a jury trial day after a long wait and in the trial Nors perform incredibly, with all the evident he gathers we win the case with ease. This is the best  DUI attorney you can get , he is smart, knowledge, hard working, and just simply great. i m especially thankful that he help me fight this case and keep me in faith that i will win. with all his hard work, we finally win the case. he is great and the best. PS: i sure do hope that there is a video for the jury trial, so i can show everyone who read this review of how great Nors did."

"To say that DUI's are stressful is an understatement: this was my first time in trouble with the law, and I was at a loss about what to do. Of course, when I started looking for a  DUI lawyer, I saw that Nors had so many positive reviews compared to other  DUI lawyers', that at one point, I was paranoid that his reviews might be doctored!  I'm happy to say that my experience with Nors was exactly on point with many of the other reviewers': perfect for the situation at hand. He took his time to explain the pros and cons of each decision to someone who kept badgering him with questions, and he was non-judgmental, reassuring, and basically an all-around trustworthy and hardworking DUI lawyer you'd want on your side. Like some of Nors' other clients, I have been driving for nearly a decade and never even had a speeding ticket, so when I called him for a consultation, I was an emotional wreck. Of the six  DUI lawyers with whom I consulted, Nors impressed me the most with his humor, demeanor, determined attitude, and specific knowledge. He guided me through the entire process with compassion and never pressured or rushed me into making a decision. While there were times when Nors or his assistant Liz took a bit longer to respond to my incessant questions, I still felt comfortable knowing that my  DUI lawyer was capable and was doing his best for all of his clients. With the number of cases he's seen, he knows all the tactics and his experience shows. Honestly, Nors is an awesome DUI defense lawyer. He sends in paperwork and directions (where to go to court, what to do about paperwork, what files or information would be helpful, etc.) promptly, always went the extra mile (ex. my schedule was extremely hectic, but he still managed to fit me in after hours for the initial phone consultation, while he was walking his dog!), and is super friendly and affable. He is knowledgeable both about the law and perceptive about the "people factor" of court. Overall, my DUI case outcome was definitely better than I had expected, and I owe it to Nors that I was able to quickly move on from this difficult time. I am thankful that I chose Nors and hope he knows he made a huge difference in the direction my life was going!"

"Nors definitely provided a sigh of relief. From the moment we gave him my DUI case, I was able to let go of the constant stress that was impacting my day to day life, and focus on the present and future. Nors was able to get all my DUI charges dismissed resulting in a greatly reduced sentence. Nors was able to enter a plea of no contest to a reduced charge of reckless driving involving alcohol, "wet and reckless". I was placed to 3 years of INFORMAL probation, three months of DUI school and $1,073 fine, which is an immense difference in the sentencing I was facing with a DUI charge. He even kept my license from becoming suspended. I received this charge while on vacation, and would not have been able to handle the case without Nors. I am happy I found him. My probationary period is now ending and I intend to hire Nors again to process my expungement. He and his staff are a pleasure to work with and it is my pleasure to do business with them again."

"Nors is a true DUI trial lawyer. He actually takes many DUI cases to jury trials unlike other DUI lawyers who would rather pressure their own clients to accept DA's offers to close the cases before going to trials. Before you retain a DUI lawyer, ask him/her if he recently defended a client on a DUI jury trial. I bet you most will say no. Why is this so important? Because reputation is everything. When the DA office reviews your case, they know which DUI lawyer is defending you. DA office also knows which DUI lawyer is a pushover (their pet) who will accept any offers they throw at the defendant, and which DUI lawyer is to be respected. So, it is your best interest to retain a reputable DUI lawyer who actually has a track record of winning DUI jury trials. The last thing DA wants to do is waste so much resources and time on a jury trial and lose. Hiring a real deal like Nors will force DA office to think over your case real carefully. I didn't know anything I wrote above last year when I was charged with DUI, and paid huge tuition of retaining two DUI lawyers. My case had a good chance of getting dropped since my BAC was 0.08 on the dot, and 3 out of 4 tests were actually below 0.08. I hold a professional license and it is hell to renew the license with any dent in my criminal record. I wanted my DUI charge to be dropped. I initially retained one of the most reviewed and highest rated DUI lawyers. Unfortunately, I found out first hand that he is a high volume DUI "settlement" lawyer, and not a trial lawyer. When I rejected DA's offer of wet reckless, this DUI lawyer demanded $20,000 up front to take the case to a jury trial, which is a ridiculous rate even for a highly successful  DUI lawyer. It was basically his way of saying 'Accept the DA's offer or find another  DUI lawyer'. I got the hint and searched for another DUI lawyer who actually takes cases to jury trials. I spoke to Nors on the phone several times before retaining him to substitute in for the other DUI lawyer. Right away Nors requested breathalyzer accuracy check records, which wasn't done by the previous DUI lawyer. A day before my trial date, Nors and I met at the location where I got pulled over, and went over everything in the police report in detail. On the day of the trial, Nors was ready for the battle, and the DA knew they were pushing their luck. The DA office dropped the DUI charge completely. No fine, no class, no record, and not even a traffic violation ticket."

"This was the first time I've ever needed a DUI lawyer, but given that Nors was fantastic as a person and a professional, and the outcome was what I wanted, I can only give him rave reviews. There is no way I would have received the same outcome with a public defender. Thank you, Nors, for making a nightmare turn into a relatively painless experience."

"I first spoke with Nors over the phone to see if he could help me with a DUI case I was charged with back in September. I was confused and frightened and prior to this I had never had any trouble with the law. In fact, I had never been pulled over or given a ticket and I have been driving for 9 years. Needless to say I was a nervous wreck when this happened. Nors understood completely and spoke with myself and my parents over the phone and let us know what he could do and his cost. He was completely open and spoke with us for quite some time to assuage my fears and answer any questions we had. It was an easy choice to hire him as my  DUI attorney. He was prompt and sent out the paperwork, went to my arraignment for me, and met with me in person prior to my court date in December. That court date in December was just as scary for me but Nors took charge, told me what to expect, do and say, and eased the tension with his polite demeanor and good humor. In addition, I noticed he is the first one up and ready to go. When he spoke to the judge and DA he told them all about me and the facts of my case. Thanks to him I was charged with a reckless driving charge rather than a DUI which was exactly what I had been hoping and praying for! My parents and I were so happy with him and the way he would always say if we needed anything or had any questions to please let him know. Overall, it sucks that I had to face this charge but Nors made the process so much smoother, easier and simpler! He took the majority of the stress away and was completely professional and competent."

"DUIs aren't a joke and a 2nd one is even worse, but when you pin having a few other dreadful details on there as well, things just get more drastic and everything looks grim. I had called a few DUI lawyers after my incident but they all sounded the same during the consultation. Each stated very vague details and answering questions in a broad manner, and some seemed a bit reluctant on taking up my case. However, when I finally came across Nors Davidson, he was spectacular and very understanding. He had far beyond answered all my questions thoroughly, and gave in extra details on how the whole court procedure would proceed, and put in step by step the course of action that would need to be done. Furthermore, he was the only DUI lawyer out of many that I called that actually wanted my case. He had stated with great emphasis how because he had spent a amount of his time in San Francisco and having attended school here, that it was a case he wanted to take on because he is very familiar with the people and court in San Francisco. I knew then and there that Nors was who I wanted to represent me in this case. When the time came for a conference meeting with him, he was very friendly and welcoming. Initially, I had felt restless and terrified about the whole ordeal, and that it was the end of the world, but Nors had reassured me 100% that people make mistakes and that it isn't the end of the world because there was a fighting chance. Whenever I had any questions arise, he would answer with great knowledge and when something was unclear because law vocabulary and the whole procedure may be a bit confusing, he had broken it down into more simple terms. Throughout the whole court hearings/procedures, Nors was very attentive and showed up to the court accordingly and on time. He kept me up to date on whenever I had to show up in court or when it was optional to do so. He's very reputable as a lot of the lawyers were striking up a conversation with him and was familiar with the court officials. Nors represented me at every step in the way and put up the best fight that he possibly could. Even in the event of him getting into an accident himself during his personal time, he still took the liberty to show up to represent me in court when he could've rescheduled, and on his off days he would return phone calls. Most  DUI lawyers would take on whatever bargain the DA first proposed, as they want to get the whole procedure over with already, but Nors went beyond and encouraged me to fight for a better deal and that was what I wanted. He believed that he would be able to bargain a much better deal after the first hearing and put forth with confidence that it would be a satisfying outcome. I wanted to minimize as much of the problem as I could but given my circumstances, the evidence was clearly against me and so were the odds but I was intent on putting up a fight. After much negotiations and going back and forth, Nors got the what he believed to be the best deal which to him was outstanding and a very lucky and amazing bargain. The outcome wasn't having a DUI charge dropped, which would've been a godsend bargain, but rather I had 3 other misdemeanor charges dropped, no jail time, the least time required for a probation class, as well as SWAP reduced from 30 days to 0 days which was outstanding and a very pleasing outcome, and I'm still very thankful for such an amazing deal! You won't go wrong with having Nors Davidson represent you, and I highly recommend him to anyone who feels like things are grim. Throughout the process, he gave the persona that he wasn't just your lawyer, but your friend as well. Outstanding professional representation in court, and very amiable during outside meetings and phone calls. If you ever run into troubles, give this man a call, because I definitely will be if trouble ever knocked on my doorstep again!"

"Thank you Nors! I was facing with Second DUI and didn't know what was going to happen. From beginning to end, the experience was AMAZING... he took care of everything! After a hard battle, thanks to Nors, we got great results. I can't thank him enough, he saved my life!!! It's scary enough to be facing jail time, so having a DUI lawyer who is respectful and supportive can make all the difference. He was willing to fight for me every step of the way. He kept me informed throughout my entire case, taking time to fully explain things to me so that I could feel comfortable and knowledgeable throughout the ordeal. His fee was reasonable. You can't go wrong by hiring this DUI attorney. Great DUI lawyer and very reputable in the legal community. Knowledgeable, talented and diligent. I recommend Nors to anyone seeking a DUI lawyer. Thank you Nors very much."

"A DUI isn't cheap and neither are the DUI lawyers, but it's good to know that when you hire Nors to represent you in your case, you are hiring a DUI lawyer who will get you the best possible outcome. It was my 2nd DUI and the evidence was strong. I could only dream that I would end the case scot-free. Outside of having the case dismissed, I knew what the maximum, typical and best case scenarios were for me. And after negotiations with the DA, Nors was able to get me the best possible sentence. I later told a sheriff it was my 2nd DUI. He asked how many days of SWAP I had to do. I told him, "3." He said, "Wow, you must've had a good DUI lawyer."

Although my case ultimately settled pre trial with some good and bad aspects overall Nors is really an expert in the area of VC25102. If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing representation in this area of the law you will be well served with Nors."

"I had the misfortune of getting arrested for a second DUI 6 years after my first. I had retained a very well-respected DUI attorney on my first case so I knew, more or less, what to expect. Upon doing a little research I came across Nors and spoke with him about my case. Based on the results of my first conviction, I didn't have high hopes for this one (especially with a .12 BAC) but Nors made me feel like he could really make a difference -- boy was he right! Throughout the entire process, I was thoroughly impressed with how down to earth, likeable, funny, knowledgeable and most importantly, how effective he is at his job. A 2nd offense is a daunting experience and by no means was it fun but having Nors by my side relieved a lot of the stress because I knew I was in good hands even before there was an outcome. His natural easy-going personality helped make me feel like my life wasn't over and it made all the difference in feeling less alone in this scary matter. Nors always briefed me on what to expect and was honest about my chances for relief. That made it all the more surprising when he came out of the courtroom with an amazing deal -- a reduced charge of wet reckless on my 2nd conviction! I could not even get a wet reckless on my first offense with a lawyer so I was over the moon and absolutely shocked at the outcome. I ended up not having to do jail time, SWOT, community service, or even DUI school. I cannot begin to express my gratitude and how pleased I was with Nors' ability to convince the court for relief on my behalf. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone with a DUI/DWI case regardless of how horrible you think your case looks. Nors is a world-class  DUI attorney in his field and if anyone can help, it's him!"

"I found Nors Davidson to be extremely helpful and more importantly effective when seeking legal counsel. He was very straightforward with me and explained both the situation and options clearly. He did everything he said he would, was prompt with responses and very professional when in court and the DMV. Everything that Nors told me would happen did indeed play out as described in regards to penalties and plea possibilities. There were no surprises or unexpected snafus. I highly recommend Nors for his legal expertise and professional mannerism. I am very glad I chose him as my DUI lawyer and would do so again if need be."

"I was pulled over and accused for a DUI in fall of 2014 and never having done this before, a lawyer friend advised me to contact Nors. I contacted one other DUI lawyer prior to Nors and then gave him a call afterwards. Both DUI lawyers told me that because my case was in Pleasanton, it's much harder because the area is more conservative. First thing he told me was to calm down and assess the situation together. At the time I did a few blows of the breath analyzer and blood work. In this situation, it was hard to say what to do because we had no results or numbers to go by. I took bart one afternoon with my brother to meet Nors and he was very welcoming. We spoke about the case and the strategy that he would do, but at this point since we didn't know anything from the case, and would have to wait it out. He's very personable and a friend recommended him, so I decided to go with Nors. With my case it was unique, because from august through December we didn't have a court date, while DMV kept wanting to do a hearing. Nors developed strategies for both sides. He explained that since the court had not accused me of anything yet formally and we didn't know the blood work, we couldn't test it and use it as evidence in the dmv hearing. Only thing we could do at the moment was wait it out. Then in January I finally had a court date, by this time we knew some of the evidence. Prior to court date, we spoke about the worse case scenarios and the best case scenarios. One of the base case scenarios is if we could reduce the sentence to wet reckless, only a 12 hr (6 week dui class session), with just a fine, and stamp the whole thing with a helmandollar plea that would be amazing. With the Helmandollar plea, if we get dismissed with dui charges, then because DMV is waiting on dui charge and it isn't, they have to give me back my driving license. But I was forewarned, this scenario is very hard to come by, especially in pleasanton courts, and especially adding the Helmandollar plea. To get the Helmandollar Plea, both the prosecutor and judge have to agree too. But on that day, Nors being a connected guy, knew one of the prosecutors, and the deal was made. From Nors himself, he was happy with how the case turned out, and it was a great result. Happy I found Nors. From the beginning I said I needed to get the best result, because after this I had to deal with my professional board, so the lowest and least thing possible will definitely help me there. And as a result here, the board of my profession is looking good too. Thanks Nors and team!"

Having him represent me gave me a sense of security without setting unreasonable expectations for the outcome. I'd highly recommend him for anyone in a similar situation. Thanks, Nors."

"I was arrested with a .14 BAC and retained a local DUI attorney in Pleasanton. The DUI lawyer I hired was a DUI specialist, member of California DUI Lawyers Association, with some 40 years experience. He sucked, did nothing for me except waste 18 months, recommended I take a DUI conviction, 9 month school, etc. I launched a search for a new DUI lawyer and interviewed 5 of the top rated. After meeting Nors I immediately new he was the right guy. He is a very warm and engaging person who genuinely cares about your situation. And he's an excellent DUI lawyer. In just one conference he was able to get my case plead to wet reckless with much lower penalties. Can't say enough good things about him. If you want a DUI attorney who you can talk to like a real person, cares about you, is expert on DUI law, and an expert negotiator, this is your guy too."

"I contacted Nors for a first offense DUI. I had no idea what to do or expect. He was able to walk me through the steps and help me understand the strategy for my defense. He was able to get my DUI school reduced, # of days of SAP reduced and transferred closer to where I live, and reduce the time I would have to be without a license. It was well worth the money and I would definitely recommend him."

"I was arrested for a DUI with a BAC of .14% without accident or injury. This was my first DUI. The tricky part is that I was moving out of the state a few weeks after I was pulled over, which really complicated everything I was going to have to do in order to get my license back. I contacted Nors, who was so personable and understanding. I could tell right away that he genuinely wanted to help me, and was not solely interested in making money off of my desperation for help. He gave me advice and offered solutions that I could have pursued without hiring a DUI lawyer at all, but I still decided to go ahead and work with him. It was the best decision I could have made. He was able to minimize my fines, with no jail time or community service, and most importantly was able to allow me to complete my DUI class online so that I could continue with my move and be eligible to get an out of state license after I served my 6 month suspension. Nors is great and will work hard for all his clients, with a genuine interest in helping people above all. Thank you Nors!"

"Great Outcome for DUI case"

5.0 stars.   Posted by anonymous, a DUI Client

"Nors managed to help me have my 1st time DUI charge dropped to reckless driving with only 6 weeks of traffic school. Then for the DMV side I got to keep my license without any further penalties. Overall I would say it is a very good result. My bac was .08 on the dot. Blood retest result came back after I entered the plea .07. But still fighting in court would have been tough due to other details. So the plea for wet reckless was I think a good deal though deeply wished it would have been a dismissal because of the .07. For the DMV part I did pay extra to have a toxicologist testify in the DMV hearing. And, it was completely worth it. An extraordinary result I got to keep my license without any penalties except the 2 points on my record for wet reckless. Overall Nors helped me out a whole lot. He is very professional and personable. Highly recommended DUI attorney."

He's very professional and you can tell how much passion he has for his job. He always works hard on trying to get the best outcome for his clients.

"After speaking with several DUI lawyers in the San Francisco Bay Area, I finally spoke with one that I felt good about, DUI Attorney Nors Davidson. Nors quoted me fairly, when other DUI attorneys asked for outrageous down payments. Nors listened to my DUI case and spoke to me as an equal, when other DUI attorneys seemed to have selective hearing and spoke to me as another case number. Most importantly, Nors Davidson gave me hope on my strenuous DUI case, when others seemed to toss in the gloves too soon. Mr. Davidson put up a skillful fight and saved me a great deal of time and money. With a successful outcome, I highly recommend this DUI lawyer. My life is not consumed by this DUI, because I had Attorney Nors Davidson by my side."

"DUI Representation"

"I want to give the highest accolades to Nors Davidson as a DUI attorney. He is a highly intelligent DUI lawyer, a specialist in the field of DUIs, understands the potential outcomes regarding your particular DUI case, and has developed personal relationships within the System. He was readily available and his office staff always promptly responded to my inquiries and requests. If you would like to know particulars of my DUI case, I would be happy to share them as my arrest record is already public. I work within a professional field that reviews indiscretions as DUIs and it could be a potential cause for loss of professional licenses. Too bad other offenders such as those refusing to pay child support are not outed in public, but I digress...I obsessively read reviews on DUI lawyers and potential ramifications of a DUI after being arrested. I was terrified that I would lose my license which was necessary to support myself and children and would make my life very difficult to shuttle children to school as well as get to and from work. I was also floored by the consequences of a mandatory installation of an Interlock Ignition device in Alameda County, the monthly costs to maintain that, the cost of DUI school, the fees associated with increased insurance and SR-22, as well as the fine for a DUI. The specifics of my DUI case are that I was pulled over for speeding and had PAS of .11 and .14. I officially tested at .09, through a blood test. I have no more public commentary on the whole financial ordeal and Systematic treatment of a DUI except to say you need to be represented by an intelligent and skilled DUI attorney. Nors managed to reduce my DUI charges to a Misdemeanor Wet and Reckless. I have 2 years Probation, 6 weeks of DUI school, and a $1,000 fine. I will not be losing my license with the DMV as that is a separate DUI charge. I highly recommend Nors Davidson. You either pay for intelligent representation that will save you money and time in the long-run, or expect to be gathered up with those with no legal representation and be prepared to take it."

"The Only DUI Lawyer In My Eyes"

"Nors has dealt with, and continues to deal with, a few unfortunate matters in my life. He is by far the most attentive DUI lawyer I've dealt with and makes sure to keep me apprised of all the intricacies of my DUI case(s).Recently, on an expungement, Nors had to argue with a DA and a Judge for the better part of 10 minutes, which is a very long time in court time. The judge spent most of this time citing my shortcomings and truly making me feel like a degenerate, which I'm not, though I understood his standpoint. Despite the judges fervent diatribe against my person, Nors went toe to toe with him, citing numerous precedents and extolling my virtues. By the end, we looked at each other, sure that we had lost, but the judge granted the expungement, in no small part due to Nors' efforts. By the time we left the courtroom you could hear a pin drop and we were both breaking a sweat from the unexpected battle. In a nutshell, when you fall on hard times, Nors is who you want in your corner. He is not some big-box DUI law firm who will outsource your case to god knows where, he is a caring person who understands what you are going through. After nearly 4 years having Nors as my lawyer, I consider him a friend and someone I can truly rely upon to keep me out of jeopardy. Recently, I had a conversation with Nors that had me I'm stitches, he was truly that candid and funny. Let's be honest, these are not the best times of our lives, needing a defense lawyer, but he always made me feel like it wasn't the worst; that's why I come back to him."

"Nors Davidson will be the best friend you've ever had if you're facing a DUI charge. Mine was a tough DUI case: I left the scene of a accident and was arrested with an astounding .31 BAC. Things did not look good. Fast forward to pre-trial conference. Nors had cut a crazy deal with the DA before I even arrived at court: 3 years probation, standard fine, standard 30 day license suspension, and 9 months of DUI school.....no more. Even the judge did a double-take. Apart from his almost magical courtroom abilities, Nors is just a genuinely fine person. I can't imagine anyone (including judges & DA's) could be immune to his charms. But Nors wants to win, and won't back down until he does. He approaches cases like a game he refuses to lose, even if it costs him, because he doesn't want to let down his client. I will probably never see Nors again, yet I will always consider him a friend."

He was instrumental in rescuing me from dire consequences. I was looking at a substantial jail sentence after my third DUI arrest. My last third DUI offense yielded me a 9 month jail sentence in the same court system. This one was technically another third because of the ten year window. In the end I received a 5 month term of home detention with electronic monitoring. I will be allowed to go to work and not miss important appointments. I couldn't have hoped for a better outcome. Nors posses both compassion and humility, qualities uncommon in his profession. He is also masterfully persuasive. I live in the Sierra foothills nearly three hours from Nors' law office however Nors was prepared to make as many trips as necessary to provide me with the best DUI defense.

After few months i got an email from him saying that he had won my DMV hearing so I never had my driver's license suspended telling me that i can obtain my license at any DMV offices.

He went above and beyond his responsibility as my DUI lawyer to make sure I was informed on every aspect of my hearing, rallied extra support from qualified professionals on his staff and assured me of/delivered the best results possible. I was able to avoid thousands of dollars in fines, was awarded a minimized sentence and abstained hours of painstaking court appearances, through the amazing representation of Nors Davidson. He is as qualified as he is thorough and effortlessly made an otherwise difficult situation easy to move forward from in a positive manner.

"Not Like Any Other Attorney!" 5.0 stars. Posted by anonymous a Criminal Defense Client

"Nors Davidson got me a great deal in an Orange County Court. I was facing a serious felony charge that had a maximum sentence of five years in prison! Mr. Davidson took the time to fly down with me on my court date, as I live in San Francisco, CA. Not only did Nors get me out of bed the morning for court and fly down to Orange County, but he worked with me to get the help that I really needed. When we got to court, he was able to get the district attorney to offer me a low sentence of 120 days, which under the circumstances, I would have accepted. What impressed me the most was that he didn't stop there. Although in an unfamiliar jurisdiction that's notorious for strict sentences, Nors didn't back down. He literally followed the district attorney around from courtroom to courtroom ALL MORNING LONG, until he ultimately charmed her and the judge both into limiting my sentence to 45 actual days. Unfortunately, I've been in trouble before, but from that experience I can honestly say that Nors is unlike any criminal defense attorney that I've experienced. Nors does the little things that other lawyers don't. He doesn't take the first offer and never stops advocating for something better. Like in my case, I still was guilty and still went to jail. It was Nors' EFFORT and genuine concern for ME, that made the difference and has inspired me to become a better person. I think this might explain why Nors is so busy....he really tries to help a lot of people, but when he's with you, you feel like you're his only client. If you hate lawyers, Nors will definitely change your mind! I'm forever grateful and highly recommend him to anyone with any case anywhere."

We had a very difficult case and Nors was very realistic about the possible outcomes with me. Thanks to his persistence and hard work, he achieved a fantastic result for me that was as good as I could have asked for, and I am very happy and relieved with the entire experience. On a personal level, Nors was always gracious with his time and I could tell from his anecdotes that he was a very genuine, caring person.

"The most important step you can take in challenging a DUI charge is investing in a DUI lawyer that knows how to manage the entire process. Nors is hands down the best at this! Any DUI lawyer will try to win your case, but Nors and his office go the extra mile to manage all of the little details that not only can cost you time, but can lead to irrevocable if mismanaged. Nors is extremely thorough and handles all of the paperwork that others don't necessarily do for their clients. With Nors on your side, essentially, all you have to do be present when he tells you too. This goes along way to take out the fear and uncertainty of the legal process you are in. With a DUI charge the last thing you need is more stress. Nors is also extremely knowledgeable of all the legalities involved in a DUI case. He will do everything in his power to discover information and opportunities that may help to mitigate your punishment. In my case, he was able to get my fines reduced by a cost greater than the service fees I paid to him. In other words, his service costs paid for themselves! That is an unbelievable win in a DUI case! Not only did he do a great job in mitigating my punishment, Nors worked with the court on the day of my hearing to get me in and out faster then the schedule planned. In fact, Nors' was able to get my hearing move to first on the docket so I was in and out. This is no small feat which saved me loads of time and allowed me to return to work that same day. I can't say enough about Nors' services. If you have DUI charges you need more than just a lawyer to stand by you in court. You need a DUI lawyer that will serve your needs to ensure your life can continue with as little disruption as possible. Nors will save you time, money, and headaches."

Even with all that energy he has he was very professional about it. He is prompt in his communication regarding my case and would answer my questions despite his busy and seemingly hectic schedule. Considering the situation and a pre-existing medical condition I have, he got all my enhancements dismissed and sentence of 3 months DUI class, swap, and some community service days (basic first offender DUI sentence). Believe me when I say it was sort of a mess getting to this point, but he went the extra mile for me to help me out. I swear I would have been in deep s@$# if it wasn't for him.

He gave me a quick run down of what he would do and why I needed representation. I held off on hiring him. Going into my arraignment, the court room was overwhelming, I had no idea what was going on and I didn't trust the public defenders to do a good job. I requested more time with the judge to find a DUI lawyer and I proceeded to hire Nors. He even agreed to handle my case for a discounted fee after I explained to him that I was a poor newly graduated college graduate. He was able to get my charge of DUI reduced to reckless driving and I had a relatively high BAC of 0.14.

"I am a commercial license driver and ended up having too much to drink and ended up being arrested for DUI. During the proceedings, I was scared of losing my job as well as my family due to a bad judgement call. I contacted Mr. Davidson and he was very friendly. He didn't pass any judgement upon me and was very caring and sensitive to my situation since I needed my license to work. He busted his ass for me at each hearing and kept me informed about everything good or bad and I respected that instead of someone selling me a dream. My DUI case was really tough to win and the odds were against us. I was a .14 BAC (blood) commercial driver looking at least minimum 1 year driver license suspension and losing my job but Mr. Davidson somehow was able to get me a reckless driving charge and the second count a not guilty which means I get to keep my license (no suspensions) This guy is amazing and I am truly thankful to him and his team. These folks saved my life and thank you is not enough. I hope I am never in this situation again but if so, I put my money on Nor Davidson any day. From the bottom of my heart, I thank u so much and my kids do too. A special thank u to Ms. Revee Bautista. U are awesome. Your very sweet and understanding and the both of u make a winning team.

"A Wonderful DUI Lawyer"  5.0 stars Posted by anonymous a Redwood City DUI Client

"In October of 2010 I received a "first offender DUI" charge in San Mateo County. At the time I was working towards a degree that would almost ensure a full disclosure of all criminal history to both employers and licensure, I felt like I was absolutely screwed. I met once with a different DUI lawyer, and he came across as very sleazy and I was somewhat turned off from seeking legal counsel for my DUI defense. In the end, I plead "no contest" to the B count of driving under the influence and was sentenced to 3 years court supervised probation, DUI classes and SWAP.As I completed my requirements as set by the court, I realized that I would be in deep trouble when the time came to apply for jobs, as I'd have to disclose my DUI to possible employers, essentially barring me from the job in my field. One day, in my DUI class, the moderator recommended waiting 1 1/2 years and then filing for an expungement, so I felt that this would be my saving grace. I spent the next several months researching DUI lawyers, as I wanted to ensure that I had the best possible DUI defense in my attempts to terminate probation early and gain an expungement. After perusing several DUI lawyers and ultimately choosing against them based on their approach and their overall eagerness to have me as a client no matter the case (almost a bit too eager) I found Nors. I read his reviews and felt that he was worth giving a shot. When I first spoke with Nors about my DUI case, what I first found to be very helpful was he was honest about not only my situation, but my chances. Other DUI lawyers tried to give me a whole song and dance about how they "guaranteed success no matter what" by using some convoluted strategy of playing the system, which does not sit well with me. Nors outright said that I had "possibly a 50/50 chance" and he weighed the pros and cons with me. For someone to do this over the phone with me without requiring a credit card before any conversations took place was extremely kind. Ultimately, I told Nors that I'd like to hire him to advocate on my behalf. Nors bent over backwards for me throughout our time together, coming in on days off for meetings (which was extremely helpful as I was a full time student/intern), helping me go through the mound of paperwork that I have accrued throughout this process and determining the best pieces of evidence for proof of rehabilitation possible. Nors was very open and inviting, and his non-judgmental approach was extremely refreshing. When my day in court came I was quite nervous and Nors explained to me the procedure of how everything was going to occur, and he was extremely comforting the entire time. During the hearing, Nors was very professional and appropriate, and in the end I was granted early termination of my probation and was subsequently granted my expungement. Now I am able to legally answer "no" on a job application about my criminal history and I was able to procure gainful employment at a job I love. None of this would have been possible if it were not for the skillful job that Nors did. I highly recommend Nors."

"The Most Trustworthy and Honest DUI Attorney" Posted by anonymous a Oakland DUI Client

"The past year has been extremely stressful for me and my family because I was in a position of potentially losing my license for a year due to a DUI refusal. Can you imagine what it might have felt like if you lost your drivers license for a year and your job depended it? The other DUI lawyers (3) that I met with told me that they were successful at winning 30% of refusal cases. The fact is that very few win DMV refusal cases because the DMV seems to automatically suspend drivers license for 1year on refusals. One particular attorney that I called couldn't handle these cases because of its difficulty and recommended Mr. Nors Davidson, because he specializes and works the most challenging DUI cases. When I met with Mr. Nors Davidson, I was very keen to listening if he was selling me on earning my business or if he understood the complexity of my DUI case and what it meant to me and my family. He didn't tell me what I wanted to hear so that I would hire him as my DUI lawyer. His honesty was the single most important reason that I hired him. Bottom Line- Nors won my cases and I got a letter from the DMV (June 2012) that my license is no longer in jeopardy of being suspended! My Civil Case for DUI- Dropped by the District Attorney of Alameda County. My DMV Case and possible suspension for one year- Dropped my DMV. If you're reading this because you're in a similar type situation that I was in, then I would highly recommend that you reach out to Mr. Nors Davidson. Once you meet with him, you will understand the reasons that I hired him and you may as well. He's not a good salesman, he's a GREAT DUI lawyer. He'll work very hard at getting you the best possible outcome so you can move forward in life for you and your family."

"I am giving Nors Davidson full marks in all categories and they are not just platitudes but well deserved. We just settled my DUI case with a very optimal result (second DUI reduced to wet reckless) but I was happy with Nors' work on my behalf from the beginning. Nors gave me about an hour or more of his time at his San Francisco office to hear the details of my DUI case before my decision to retain him. He specializes in DUI cases and his expertise shows while explaining all of the possible scenarios, arguments, variables for or against my DUI case, and the entire process for both court and DMV. He was realistic about possible outcomes as a second DUI comes with significant penalties even as compared to a first DUI. Coming out of that first meeting, I was confident that I was in good hands. Throughout my DUI case, I was never once worried about paperwork or not understanding the next steps. Nors was always clear about what our plans were going forward. Communication was usually through email but he also strongly suggested phone conferences to answer any of my more involved questions or before significant court dates. My DUI case was especially "unique" as I was banned from re-entering the USA as a Canadian. Despite this unexpected issue, he continued corresponding with me diligently with case updates and mailings of paperwork to sign. I hired a different DUI lawyer for my first conviction and the difference is evident in terms of communication and transparency. Of course every case is unique but I have no hesitation to strongly recommend Nors for any DUI or driving privilege related case."

"Excellent Legal Strategy" 5.0 stars. Posted by anonymous a San Francisco DUI Client

"When I initially called him I was very worried. He calmed me down and laid out the situation I was in very clearly. He stayed on top of the DUI case throughout the many months the DA sat on it. In the end his strategy resulted in a dismissal despite the difficultly of the case. I highly recommend him."

"Very Satisfied with Nors as my DUI Attorney" Posted by anonymous a DUI Client

"Choosing a DUI attorney can be a daunting task. If you're reading this, you know exactly what I'm talking about. I chose Nors over another highly rated DUI attorney in the area based partially on the fact that he took my initial call while he was still on vacation. Upon that first call, he gave me his cell number in case I had any additional questions. There comes a certain peace of mind with this kind of availability, so I chose Nors. Nors proved to be extremely knowledgeable, professional and available throughout my interactions with him. Better yet, and unlike some DUI attorneys out there, he actually wants to meet face-to-face to get to know you as a client better, and to strategize your case. Most other potential DUI attorney candidates wanted to limit the interactions to phone, email and perhaps meeting an hour early before the pre-trial conference. This was my 2nd DUI conviction (wet reckless 9+ yrs ago still counts!), and had an enhancement charge of being at or more than twice the legal BAC limit. Without getting into too many details, my outcome didn't look very good concerning my arrest circumstances. Nors painted a very realistic picture for me and set proper expectations along the way. That's another thing I appreciated... Nors didn't sugar-coat anything. He'll tell you like it is, good or bad. Long story longer, my resulting conviction included near-minimum punishment results on all accounts. 3 yrs inactive probation, SWAP instead of jail time, 90 day eligibility of restricted license, enhancement charge thrown out. Yeah, I still need to do an 18 month DUI program, but I did the crime, I'll take the class, no arguments there. Finally, I can't guarantee similar results for a similar circumstance. I certainly put a lot of pro-active work into this before my court date. The 30+ days of AA I went to and kept track of, sobriety chips and a thorough pre-trial planning with Nors certainly helped my case with the judge. Think it over, it may be worth making some life changes as a result of your DUI. Regardless of this, I couldn't think of a finer attorney to represent your DUI case."

"The Best DUI Attorney" 5.0 stars. Posted by YI a Oakland DUI Client

"I was charged for the probation violation in the beginning of this year. After I did a lots of research on finding a good DUI attorney who was able to represent the matter for me, I found Nors Davidson and decided to hire him as my personal attorney. He was able to get the District Attorney withdraw the petition. Basically, he made my DUI case dismiss. I had such a great experience with him, and I was so satisfied with the result of my DUI case. Based on my personal experience with him and all the review about him. I think that Nors Davidson is one of the best DUI attorneys. He is a very responsible DUI attorney who would consider all the possibilities to win a case for you. He knows what he can do is the best for his clients, and he wouldn't let you worry about anything because he knows this his job. Therefor, you can absolutely rely and trust on him for what he can do. However, if anybody experiences DUI issues, I strongly recommend Nors Davidson to you all. And trust me, he wouldn't let you down."

"Mr. Davidson is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and effective DUI attorney. If you are dealing with the stress and hassle of a DUI, I couldn't recommend better DUI representation than Nors Davidson. Because of his expertise in the narrow field of CA DUI cases, his depth of knowledge is impressive. He reduced the duration of my DUI classes from 9 months to 3, and got the DA to drop speeding allegations as well as a special allegation that my BAC was in excess of .15%."

".15% DUI Reduced to Wet Reckless and No DMV Suspension . . . Highly Recommend

5.0 stars. Posted by anonymous a Oakland DUI Client

"The details. I am a media figure in the Bay Area. I got a DUI blew .12 but blood was .15 DUI with Enhancements. I interviewed three DUI firms. I turned down an Alameda firm (DUI was in Alameda) as I felt I was going to be just another case and I turned down a DUI factory attorney shop as I would of been given to an associate. Nors came to my office and met with me which was convenient even though his office is pretty easy and convenient as well. He read over my case and decided to have me work with his DUI investigator Alan Mcann. The DUI investigator found that the arresting officer had pulled me over, asked 17 questions, administered field sobriety tests and arrested me all in 4 minutes. My case had something to work with!!! I went to court with Nors. Nors told me to dress nicely. He met with the D.A. and talked about my DUI case (no accident, fast arrest, etc . . . ). He told her I would pay the fine today and plead to a wet reckless. She accepted the deal. Pretty amazing to get Wet Reckless after charged with DUI and Enhancements. The DMV was next. Nors again went in person and met and ultimately I got leniency as to my sentence. Thrilling result."

"Without hesitation, I will happily endorse Nors as a DUI/DWI attorney. Nors has a ton of energy and unbounded enthusiasm that is infectious for the client; being on the wrong of a DUI charge can be very daunting. Additionally, Nors was very meticulous and thorough in my DUI case - while we did not win, we got a split verdict on the A and B portions of the California DUI law."

"Three words to describe Nors would be experienced, honest and personable. Every step of the way Nors made me for comfortable about being in this bad situation, regrettably for a second time DUI. He assured me that although the matter was a serious one, it certainly was not the end of the world for my job or even my license. His experience and reputation definitely help when it comes to defending his clients. Although I was worried at first about a slow response when confirming my arraignment while I was out of town, he and his assistant did remain responsive through mail and phone calls, constantly updating me of the ongoing details of the process. He was easy to talk to and even calmed me in this stressful experience with both his sense of humor and his knowledge of the system. He said he would fight to get me the best deal and I feel that he delivered. I was relieved that my previous out of state 'incident' wasn't a factor, as he said it likely wouldn't be, and I fully accepted responsibility and the great deal he got me. The deal included no SWOP and the minimum 3 mos. for DUI school. I've learned my lesson and have Nors to thank for helping me through this difficult time. His rates were good and I would recommend his services. He was easy to talk to and even calmed me in this stressful experience with both his sense of humor and his knowledge of the system.

"Great DUI Lawyer" 5.0 stars. Posted by anonymous  a San Jose DUI Client

"After receiving my DUI, I was extremely worried and had no idea what to do. I decided to hire an DUI attorney and called around but didn't really find anyone that I was comfortable with. I found Nors online and decided to call him based on all of the great reviews that he has. After speaking with him over the phone I felt a lot better and had no hesitation letting him represent me in court. He is a very understanding person and he did a great job of explaining the details of my DUI case. Not only did he handle everything for me from start to finish, he was also to able to extend my DMV hearing for a considerable amount of time so that I could continue driving to work. He is very professional and updated me frequently with letters and emails. He has a great personality and a good sense of humor that made me feel a lot more at ease during a very stressful time of my life. There were a few times when it was hard to get a hold of him because he is very busy, but he always took time out of his schedule to get back to me and answer any questions that I had. Overall, I was pleased with the outcome of my DUI case and I would definitely recommend him to anyone. As a matter of fact, I also retained his services to handle and unrelated DUI case for my girlfriend. Thank you again Nors for all of your time and hard work."

"Nors' actions literally saved my life!" 5.0 stars. Posted by anonymous a DUI Client

"After all the research I went through, I decided to seek Nors legal advice with my under 21 DUI case. At first, I was a bit apprehensive since I had no knowledge of DUI lawyers and was going at this all alone. However, my fears were put to rest after talking with Nors and receiving genuine input on my chances of not getting convicted. He offered VERY reasonable prices and was willing to work with me. In addition, he was always thoughtful and never judgmental. However, I wish he had been a bit more responsive and keeping me up to date, as I sometimes felt in the dark about the trial. Understandably though, he is very busy, so I do understand. All in all, I couldn't have asked for better and he truly saved my future as I don't have to worry about any incriminating information showing up on a background check or such. Everyone makes mistakes and I for one know that this kind of thing will never happen to me again. He gave me the opportunity to gain some normalcy in my life and not feel like a criminal. I am forever thankful!"

"Great Services" 5.0 stars. Posted by Jean a  San Francisco DUI Client

"Nors represented me in a DUI case a few years ago. I had an Illinois license and was only in CA on vacation, so it made my case quite confusing. My .09 (roadside blow) DUI charges turned felony since I refused to do a breathalyzer in the station. Nors represented me in court without me having to be there in person. He got my DUI charges dropped down from felony type charges to more like misdemeanor type DUI charges and made it so I didn't have to go back to CA to deal with any of this, which was very important to me. He was easy to get a hold of and I always spoke with him on the phone, not a middle man or a secretary. If I ever needed representation again I wouldn't hesitate to call Nors."

"Highly Recommended DUI Lawyer Alameda County" 5.0 stars. Posted by Patrick
"I talked with a few DUI lawyers before I decided to go with Nors. After our first meeting I felt confident that he would do all he could to represent me. I had a .11/.12 DUI case in Alameda County and did not want to have to install an interlock device IID on my vehicle. Nors was honest and said it would be a hard case to get a plea for wet reckless, but he would fight for it. At the second court appearance he was successfully able to get the DA to let me plead guilty to the lesser wet reckless charge. I would definitively recommend Nors to anyone who is challenging there DUI charge. He is reasonably priced and dedicated to his clients. Thanks Nors!!"

"The day after the DUI was very stressful. Trying to find a good DUI lawyer, without any previous experience in this regard and not being able to ask around due to the situation made this one of the hardest decisions. I found Mr. Davidson on Avvo, and after talking to 5-6 DUI attorneys, took a chance and went with him for my DUI case. He was very helpful, and always had time as well as the knowledge to answer all my questions. He appeared on my behalf for all DMV hearings, and was with me for my pre-trial. He got me a good outcome considering my DUI case, and I would recommend him to others."
