Santa Barbara DUI Lawyer Darryl Genis is the best DUI defense attorney in the tri-county area and handles all aspects of DUI cases including trials and DMV hearings
DUI defense is a specialty that is multi-faceted and complex.

Few attorneys possess the knowledge and legal acumen required to achieve a successful outcome based on logic, insight, careful analysis, and legal expertise.
Exclusive DUI Defense provides the highest level of representation and gets the best dispositions.
In fact, Santa Barbara justice Judge Michael Carrozzo declared on the record during a recent trial that our firm achieves “better dispositions than most attorneys in these types of cases”. Listen to the actual conversation in court. A transcription is available.
Best Dispositions for DUI Cases in Santa Barbara
EDD: I have a question for you based on everything you just said. In your mind, and you’ve got a lot of experience as a prosecutor before taking the bench…
JC: And a defense attorney too.
EDD: And a defense attorney.
JC: I did a lot…
EDD: Even more experience on the bench being neutral and detached and hearing both sides. What do you think its worth?
JC: Well I think that you get, you, get better dispositions than most attorneys in these types of cases so I think… That it’s hard for me to calculate that. I think that, generally, it would be worth a wet but I think that you get better dispositions so that’s the tipping point.
EDD: Are we on the record?
JC: Yeah, I think you do. I think you get better dispositions. But that’s what I think its worth. But I don’t know what Mr. Barnes thinks it worth.
Santa Barbara DUI Case Dismissed
[JUDGE] It is rare, indeed, when a misdemeanor case like this gets reset. And, you know, I don't think based on these facts it should be.
[JUDGE] I think that no reasonable jury could reach a verdict on these cases. I don't think there's any additional or new evidence that could be presented by the people, the people had every opportunity to present all available evidence. And they did so. This is a four year old misdemeanor in which the court gave the people wide latitude to prepare their case to select fair and impartial jurors, take additional time and as much time as needed to select jurors and take additional time is needed to to present your evidence in response to objections by the defense. As to count one, which is the only remaining count. It's a circumstantial evidence case, and the evidence presented by the people through their own expert prove that it was not unreasonable to conclude the defendant was not impaired by alcohol while driving beyond a reasonable doubt.
[JUDGE] The other things I considered is a stark lack of judicial resources to continue to try cases like this and that other serious cases need to take priority.
[JUDGE] You put on the evidence that you had.
[JUDGE] It is what it is and the case is dismissed.
[GENIS] Thank you for your time, Your Honor.
