California DUI Attorneys Commended by ABA Journal

DUI DWI Laws

California DUI lawyer Lawrence Taylor, known nationally as the "Dean of DUI Defense," has been recognized along with his firm of DUI attorneys in the American Bar Association Journal (vol.1, issue 47) for their expertise and specialization.

In an article titled "MADD and MADDer: Today's DUI Defense Bar Is More Focused and Aggressive Than Ever Before," the ABA Journal observed:

Interviewed by the Journal, the California DUI attorney, author of the best-selling legal treatise Drunk Driving Defense, explained the changing nature of the DUI defense field:

"Ours is a unique field because a lawyer's job is usually to blow Smoke and create reasonable doubt," says Lawrence Taylor, one of California's more successful DUI lawyers. "Defense attorneys are expected to do that, but what I find nice about DUI work is that we get to wear white hats - though maybe not in the eyes of a judge or jury or MADD. But we're trying to find the truth."
