Why Hire the Santa Barbara DUI Center?

Our name says is all. We are the only firm in Santa Barbara County dedicated to representing the citizen accused of DUI. Our staff features a DUI lawyer and a former DMV hearing officer to make sure no stone goes unturned in the defense of a DUI case.

Not only do our people enroll in state of the art DUI seminars around the country, they also take the time to publish in the field and to teach others. Our founder Lee McCoy taught the nation’s first law school class on drinking/driving law in Summer 2004 and is writing the first law school textbook on the subject.

A new era has begun in the defense of DUI cases. Gone are the days when a lawyer could call up a friendly prosecutor and strike a backroom deal to dismiss a DUI. Societal pressures have led to county-wide policies on the plea bargaining of DUI cases, and the prosecutors risk their jobs if they are caught pleading a DUI without a very good reason.

We specialize in finding very good reasons.
