As an out of stater, I was at a loss as to whom to turn to for legal assistance in the state of California. A close friend, with first hand knowledge of Grant Bettencourt's legal expertise and discretion, referred me to him. Mr. Bettencourt promptly addressed my legal issues and brought them to a successful conclusion.
The entire process was seamless. His dedication, expertise, thoroughness and interpersonal skills made all the difference. He put me at my ease as soon as he took charge. I recently contacted Grant to help my family deal with a legal issue. I found Grant to be very knowledgeable about the law, and he was also frank and honest with me about our situation which I really appreciated.

The section of the penal code that makes it illegal to drive with a blood alcohol level over this limit deals with DWI offenses.

Grant did such an excellent job handling my case from beginning to end. He was very patient and understanding from the onset. He took considerable time to carefully and thoughtfully answer all of my questions and address all of my concerns. He was very prompt and professional with responses to phone calls, emails, and/or text messages. He asked me to identify potential sources of case evidence and worked very quickly to send out official letters to preserve video footage of the incident. Additionally, he worked closely with the City Prosecutor's Office to follow up on the related charges and court

Grant Bettencourt is an excellent lawyer, who is knowledgeable in the work he does. From our experience, he is easy to approach and does not intimidate his clients. Unlike other lawyers who are very hard to reach, Mr. Bettencourt always made time for us if we ever had any questions or concerns about the case day or night. He was always the first one to update us on any changes in the case and always gave us reminders to important dates and times. From the beginning he gave us a realistic scenario of how the case may or may not go, which was reassuring to us because he didn't give us any false hopes

Thank you Grant! Grant Bettencourt is great attorney. Willing to answer any questions or concerns you have via phone conversation, email, text, or even in person. I was referred to him by a friend who assured me that he was a good attorney. When I spoke to him for the first time he made sure I felt that I was in good hands by explaining every detail and strategy he was going to present to the court. After our phone conversation I felt safe enough to leave everything in his care. Not only did he clear my case but he did it in half the time expected. He wont BS you in your situation and will give

I called for a consultation about immigration, and he replied back to me within minutes. He was very helpful and accommodating! He answered all of my questions clearly and I got the answer I needed. Most attorneys don't get back that early, especially on a Saturday. He did and he went beyond my expectations. Will be coming here again and again! Couldn't have found a better attorney!

I found Grant through Yelp and here I am once again like everyone else a happy client! I fell into a difficult situation only to search professionals in my area that would represent me. Immediately, after emailing Grant he responded within the hour that night. I explained everything to him, negotiated an extremely reasonable fee for his services. The very next morning around 10am my problem was taken care of. I always consider a professional by his management of the problem at hand and Grant matches every standard I hold to be true. The fact that he resolved my problem within the first 12/hrs demonstrates

Grant is a phenomenal attorney! I got myself into some trouble a while back and desperately needed legal help. I found Grant and after the initial consultation, I assessed that he was the attorney for me. He was responsive to all of my messages and walked me through step by step. It was very scary having to deal with the legal system but I am glad I had Grant in my corner. In the end, he achieved for me the best result possible for my case. He even followed up with me a few years later to help seal my arrest record so future employers do not see it every time they ran a background check. All in

Grant is an amazing lawyer! I was very pleased with my decision to choose him to represent me over other lawyers I talked to about my case. He went above and beyond to handle everything and allow me to live my everyday life with only the need to show up in court when I needed to. He always made sure I was updated on what was going on and was easily accessible when I wanted to speak to him about it. He was also willing to answer questions I had that were unrelated to my case. I was very impressed seeing him work on my case and give me the best possible outcome that I was looking for. I would 10
