Client very happy to have his Second offense DUI reduced to a wet reckless. He gets his license back, lower court fine, no breathing device and a 9 month school instead of the 18 months school. Lots of hard work, but worth it to see a happy client. Very happy client charges reduced to a wet reckless and he got to keep his license - no suspension!
Will personally handle every aspect of your case - including the DMV Hearing and Court Appearances. Is Certified in Standardized Field Sobriety and Breath Testing (the same training police officers receive). On EVERY case we conduct a thorough investigation and subpoena every bit of evidence. Even though a client may just want to get this over with, it is important to have all the evidence available before resolving the case.
Amy literally saved my life! I had a super hairy DUI case, that involved several rarities, and throughout the whole process, Amy was upfront and honest with me, kept me informed, and got 4 counts reduced to only 1. I cannot say enough good things about her. I would recommend her at a heart beat t. Amy Morell was fantastic!

Any is truly the best, and I must say reviews don't lie! When picking an attorney, I came across Amy's practice on goggle. My gut told me to call and go with her, after all she has over 20 years experience! That made me feel comfortable. She was able to dismiss my husband's case and she sounded confident when she stated, I can get this dismissed. Well she did! Thank God. She's easy to communicate with via email, which is also convenient for me. She handles everything, appears in court, keeps you updated as soon as court is over and has the patience to explain when I asked questions

Called Amy as soon as I was able to. She talked me through the process and let me know what to expect. My case took a year to complete due to COVID but she was there the whole time. She attended all hearings for me. She was able to bring my charge down from a DUI to a Wet Reckless and won my DMV hearing. I honestly couldn't say enough about how much Amy helped not only myself but my family as well.

If you find yourself in this awful situation look no further than Amy. I initially contacted another law office in Oakland and after I explained my situation they recommended that I call Amy as she exclusively deals with DUI cases. My BAC was very high (.27) but Amy was able to reduce the charge to a wet reckless, which meant that my license didn't get suspended by the court. And then she was able to win the DMV hearing, so no having to install an IID or have restrictions on my license. Very stressful situation to go through and Amy was always very prompt to respond to any questions or concerns

Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I had to seek out legal help. Amy Morell was my attorney handling the case and I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Having no knowledge of how the legal system works, she was able to interpret the situation in a way that was completely understandable for me. Throughout the case, she was always available if I had any questions via phone and e-mail. Her compassion, professionalism, integrity, and sense of urgency were highly appreciative during these highly stressful moments in my life.
Amy is a highly reputable, respected, and extremely knowledgeable

Alameda County criminal defense attorney Amy Morell is the consummate DUI law professional. I have worked with and referred her DUI defense matters over the past decade and she has proven to be one of the top legal experts in her field. I have learned from her and admired her effectiveness inside the courtroom in drunk driving cases. She is an active member of the National DUI Defense College and executes at the highest level. She employs cutting edge tactics which leaves a lot of other DWI lawyers behind.
Amy achieves success on behalf of her DUI clients and always gets the better part of any

Amy was amazing and I am so pleased that I retained her as my attorney! She made me feel at ease with every decision I made throughout my case. I would recommend her to anyone who is going through their first DUI charge, which by the way was lessened to a Dry and Reckless! Thank you Amy! You made a horrible nightmare become something less frightening and bearable.

I've had the pleasure of working with Amy Morell for years! She is an outstanding DUI attorney who works hard for her clients and gets the results to back it up. I referred a Doctor client of mine to her and she took care of his problems with both the criminal matter and the administrative matter. If you are in need of a DUI attorney in northern California Amy is it!

What a relief to have Amy an experienced professional Attorney on my side.
I was so upset and worried about my career, however after my first appointment with Amy I knew I picked the right Attorney. She listened to my story, offered advice, answered questions, kept in contact and took care of everything and did a fantastic job. She was able to obtain plea deal for me.
Thanks for saving my career Amy, you are well worth your fee. I am very happy with the outcome and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal services.

This is the same review I wrote for avvo, but honestly, what else can you say? I never had less than a restricted license, which was critical for my job, and never had to push around trash or any of that nonsense. A more detailed review follows:
Honestly, navigating the dual legal systems of the courts and DMV is a nightmarish challenge fraught with complexity, and if you end up in this situation, your nerves are frayed and you can't focus from the outset.
I spoke with about 5-6 "DUI attorneys" before settling on Amy, and it's been a brilliant decision. She provided me

Amy Morell was referred to me after I had become increasingly uncomfortable with the approach in representation and attitude from another firm. During our first exploratory meeting, Amy deftly sketched out a legal strategy that was diametrically opposed to the defense my then attorney was intent on presenting. I decided to hire her on the spot, very much impressed with her thorough grasp of the issues and difficulties specific to my case. This proved to be a great decision: in the end, Amy was able to secure a reduction to wet reckless and win the DMV's administrative hearing to get my driving
