There is an alternative to pleading guilty. You should have that option.

Joshua Price is the founder and managing attorney of Defending Rights Law Center. He is a graduate from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego. During his time in law school, Joshua was involved in criminal defense work through his internships with the San Diego County Alternate Public Defender. After taking the California State Bar Exam, he continued his pursuit of criminal defense work after being selected for a Post Bar Internship with the San Diego County Public Defender. He continued to gain experience that he would eventually need to be a successful defender of people’s constitutional rights.
After completing his Post Bar Internship and passing the California State Bar Exam, Joshua immediately got involved with DUI and DMV defense. Using his foundation of general criminal defense concepts he was able to hit the ground running in defending against DUI related allegations. Joshua has focused exclusively on DMV and DUI defense and has handled over 1500 such cases. His determination, knowledge and aggressiveness have helped to obtain many positive results for his clients.
These types of cases involve two separate and distinct entities: Criminal Court and DMV. Dealing with DUI allegations, he handles both the criminal side of cases and also defends against DMV license suspensions on the civil/administrative side. DUI cases are extremely complicated and must be handled accordingly. Entrusting Joshua Price with your case ensures that no stone will be left unturned and he will fight for you every step of the way to ensure that the government is held to their burden of proof!
“I personally believe that every type of DUI case can be won. The problem is that many lawyers get overwhelmed by the complexities of these cases and give up too quickly. However, I make sure to fight my hardest for each case, leaving no stone unturned to achieve the best results for my clients.”
