"Nors' Efforts Literally Changed My Life" 5.0 stars Posted by 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."
"Best DUI Attorney in the Bay Area - Period!" 5.0 stars a DUI Client
"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!"

Contra Costa County Pittsburg DUI .14% BAC First Offense DUI Speed Enhancement
Practice Area: DUI and DWI
Date: Mar 18, 2024
Outcome: Probation Granted Three Years, Three Month DUI School, Two Days SWAP, 30 Day License Suspension
Description: Client was observed driving on State Route 4 by the California Highway Patrol and was clocked at 104 miles per hour. Client was stopped for speeding and performed field sobriety tests and submitted to a preliminary breath test with a .14% blood alcohol concentration. Client arrested for driving under the influence or DUI of alcohol and submitted to two additional breath tests of .14% BAC. The Contra Costa County District Attorney took eight months to file charges but today we smartly settled this DUI case at arraignment today before the case was sent to a pretrial conference since prehearing research showed that client was not initially charged with the speed enhancement which would have resulted in a sixty day jail sentence. This strategy got the minimum punishment for client without an enhancement.
San Mateo County Redwood City DUI .20% BAC First Offense DUI Collision High BAC DUI Enhancement
Case Conclusion Date 01.24.2024
Practice Area San Mateo DUI and DWI
Outcome DISMISSAL OF HIGH BAC ENHANCEMENT, Three Years DUI Probation, $224 Fine, 3 MONTH DUI SCHOOL and 2 days SWAP
Description Client was arrested for DUI by the San Mateo Police Department after he was found in his vehicle which had collided with a street sign. Client was take to the hospital where his blood was drawn and tested with a result of .20% BAC. The BAC was highly relevant because it qualified client for the 9 month DUI school and a potentially mandatory Ignition Interlock Device ("IID"). Settled the case today for a DISMISSAL OF HIGH BAC ENHANCEMENT & Probation Granted: 3 Years, $224 Fine, 3 MONTH DUI SCHOOL and 2 days SWAP. Not only did we get the 3 month DUI school, but I even secured an $1,800 reduction of clients fine!
San Francisco DUI .14% BAC Second Offense DUI Collision and DUI Refusal Enhancement
Case Conclusion Date 12.21.2023
Practice Area San Francisco DUI and DWI
Outcome Three Years DUI Probation, $1900 Fine, 18 Month DUI School, 1 MADD Class, 1 Year IID and NO JAIL OR SWAP. REFUSAL WON AT DMV
Description Client was arrested for DUI by the San Francisco Police Department after she collided with three parked cars. Client submitted to PAS with results of .14% BAC and a later blood test which returned a result of .13% BAC. Complicating matters further, client had a prior San Mateo County DUI in 2016. Today, we settled the case for a plea t the DUI charge for DUI Probation Granted: 3 Years, $1900 Fine, 18 Month multiple offender DUI School, 1 MADD Class, 1 Year IID and NO JAIL OR SWAP. Considering that second offense DUI's typically get around 30 to 60 days SWAP, this was an exceptional result only matched by the fact that we convinced the DMV to drop the DUI Refusal Allegation which would have resulted in a two year license suspension with no restriction. Instead, Client was immediately able to get a restricted license with installation of the IID. Getting the DUI refusal down to a regular second offense DUI was no small task and it took several extra hearings, but it was worth it in the end for this San Francisco DUI client.
