-William Head (Nationally Renounded DUI Attorney and Author)
Darryl Genis is one of a small number of trial attorneys in the central coast/southern California area who is always willing to go to trial when the client asks for his or her day in court. Unless you specialize in this area of law, as I do, the rarity of that tendency would not be known by the average client. He charges a very fair fee for the tremendous trial skills and experience he brings to court for his clients. No prosecutor will have the upper hand on Darryl at trial, based on depth of knowledge of California law and procedure.
- William Head (Atlanta DUI Attorney)
If you want to plead guilty and be on probation and have a conviction on your record do not hire Darryl Genis. If you want to fight your case and obtain a dismissal or an acquittal at trial, hire Darryl Genis. He will bring 30 years of aggressive DUI defense on your side and help you win your DUI. I know of no other DUI specialist I can recommend with the same confidence that I would have recommending Darryl Genis because he is the best.

-Lynn Gorelick (Hayward CA Lawyer)
I endorse this lawyer's work. Darryl is one of the few lawyers who is not afraid to take your case to trial; that is because he knows the science of both breath and blood in DUI cases, Field Sobriety Tests that Police Officer usually do incorrectly, and has the ability to teach the jury of all of the mistakes made and prevent a rush to judgment wining case after case after case. Additionally, Mr. Genis recently provided a brief to the California Supreme Court that now allows for a Defendant to present Partition Ratio evidence in a breath test case, and the California Supreme Court's decision was unanimous. Who could ask for more in their lawyer. I highly recommend this DUI lawyer.
