Biography

Edwin Samuels has become one of the foremost DUI experts in California. He has over 10 years of experience defending both misdemeanor and felony DUI cases. He has also had remarkable success before the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) helping clients accused of DUI keep their driving privileges.

Mr. Samuels is an expert in the complex legal issues affecting the interstate driving privileges of out-of-state drivers accused of DUI in California. This also applies to California residents who are facing a DUI in California, but are planning to move out of state.

Background

• Edwin Samuels has helped over 1,000 people charged with DUI.

• Worked for a San Jose law firm and exclusively handled DUI cases for over three years. During that time he became an expert, not only in the defense of these cases, but also in helping clients save their driving privileges, by successfully fighting—or working with—the DMV.

• He has continued to expand the practice of DUI defense to include even the most serious kinds of cases involving injury and death.
