Mr. Nicholson and his team were an absolute godsend in regard to handling my issue. They were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and always fast to reply to any questions I had throughout the process. They kept me informed about every step along the way, and how best to prepare for the steps ahead. If you should find yourself in a predicament with the courts, I cannot recommend Pacific Defender Law Group enough! They really know what they're doing and should I ever require services in the future, they will be the first contact that I make, every time.

The entire team at Pacific Defender Law Group has been nothing short of exceptional through the entire process. From the moment I contacted Sean he was nothing but professional. His teams knowledge of the judges, court clerks, and prosecuting attorney's is extremely helpful in getting his cases moved to the top of the docket. I never waited long in any of my court hearings. Other court dates that I was not required to be at Sean let me know in plenty of time in advance. I never met Sean face to face due to current court situations due to covid, but he knew exactly who I was and was totally prepared to litigate on my behalf on my first and last court date. I never hope to be in the situation I was in again, but if I am I will call Pacific Defender Law Group immediately.
Sean and his team are extremely prepared, professional, and well worth the fee.
Do your self a favor if you're in an alcohol related issue, you can do no better than to retain Pacific Law Defender Group as your representative!
