Defending Rights Law Center, Inc.

Although I did not end up needing an attorney, I wanted to right a review on how extremely helpful they were with providing me information. They told me everything I needed to know to move forward in getting my license back.

I don’t normally write reviews, but if you’re dealing with a DUI and don’t know who to trust, this might help. I was charged with a first-time DUI, and it wasn’t a light one. I was going 110 mph, my BAC came back at 0.16, and I was facing 60 days in jail. I was stressed, confused, and overwhelmed by the number of lawyers online. Everyone claims they’re the best, but I needed someone real. Someone who actually gets results.

That’s when I found Joshua Price.

From the first conversation, I could tell he wasn’t just another lawyer. He actually listened, he didn’t make false promises, and he explained everything clearly. He was easy to get a hold of, and I never felt like just another case. He made a bad situation feel manageable.

In court, Joshua was sharp, confident, and clearly respected. He brought in an expert to fight my DMV hearing and won it. And somehow, he got all my criminal charges dismissed through military diversion. I still can’t believe it. No DUI on my record. No jail time. Clean slate.

Hiring Joshua Price was hands down the best decision I made. If you’re in a situation like mine, don’t roll the dice with someone else. Call him. You’ll be glad you did.

Old case (2019) and 6 yrs later here I am. Joshua represented me like a champ. as it was my 2nd offense in 10 years apart, he was able to dismiss community service and other fees. I couldn't get away by serving 48 hrs. in jail; I hit another car with people in it, so lucky there where no injuries or deaths; after trial, I was lucky to continue with my life once again. Still feel the effects with car insurance now days, it should be the last year with this quotes. We think we can drive, but hope to never do this again. thank you Joshua!

Due to the embarrassing circumstances, I was reluctant to publish anything having to do with this incident. Most of my friends and family aren't aware that this happened to me (until now, ;-/ ) because I've always been the "example" pillar of the community, professional, law abiding citizen, etc. On the other hand, I'm human, and prone to making decisions that aren't always the best.

I'm sharing this review for two reasons. 1. Josh and Amanda are worth their weight in gold. They were both attentive to my questions and understanding of my circumstances. 2. I hope to relay to whoever is reading this, that "yes, it can happen to anyone." I'd imagine, if you're reading this, then you're already in a position where you need Josh's help. Hopefully, you and everyone that was with you is okay. In regards to getting through the rest from here, Josh and Amanda are the right decision at this point.

I've gone my whole life without issue or incident. I'm not a hard partier, I'm a family man, and always discourage others from "drinking and driving." I thought I knew where my "threshold" was. I'm a pretty good size guy at 6' and 220lbs. I can have a couple glasses of wine at dinner and not be "inebriated." WRONG. That's what happened. I was at a friend's house for a holiday and had champagne with dinner. No tequila shots. No pre-gaming. I drank water and had a hearty dinner. Don't count on any of that. I wasn't even swerving "all over the road" or obviously erratic. Ironically, I was most definitely driving while distracted with my phone and playing music, finding songs, etc. THAT was enough to move me enough within the lane to cause the CHP behind me to stop and ask questions. That's it. That's all it took for me to have a need to call Josh.

Josh was recommended by a friend of a friend who knew him personally. Could I have gone through the process on my own? Probably. Would I have gotten the same results? Absolutely not. I had too many concerns that I wasn't going to risk any more on my own. I have a couple commercial licenses that were at risk. I couldn't afford to put my livelihood on the line because I felt "the system" was unfair and I could beat it with my super intelligence and ego.

I had to make some tough decisions. Attorneys are not inexpensive. I had to ask if I could afford it. Ultimately, the answer was always, "I can't afford to NOT hire Josh." You're in a bind. It's going to be expensive. Expect it. But, DON'T fool yourself into thinking you're going to save money by going it alone.

I bit the bullet and sent Amanda and Josh everything they asked for. Then sat down with him so he could explain what the most reasonable outcome I could hope for. He talked about best case scenario, worst case scenario, probable scenario, and made no promises to any of them. That needs to be key to your understanding when you hire ANYONE though. Every circumstance is different. Yours is different than mine. Given my circumstances, I can attest that Josh was able to achieve the best possible outcome to save all of my licenses. Could we have contested the case and gone to trial? Sure. We might have even gotten a better outcome. Josh would have gone to bat and I have every confidence he would have prevailed. But, ultimately, Josh secured a great outcome without the additional delay and expense, and risk. I'm confident in that. I'm also confident that I'm making the right decision to recommend him to you, despite my public embarrassment. Best of luck to you! Stay safe.
