He’s a pretty smart lawyer. He knows procedure very well and uses it to his clients benefit. As someone else wrote , he’s not cheap, but he is good.

Not too long ago I was pulled over for a DUI for Marijuana. Thank god I reached out to Mr. Genis because he was able to have it reduced to a speeding ticket with a $500 fine. It was a relief when we got to court that both the judges and prosecutors respected Mr. Genis legal expertise as a dui defense attorney.

After researching DUI Attorneys, I chose Darryl Genis because of his successful record. I wasn't disappointed. His knowledge led to a reduction of my DUI to a wet reckless which was amazing and was effective at reducing fees. I am disabled and he made me feel more than comfortable throughout the process. Darryl is very well versed in DUI laws, is professional, and helped me move forward towards getting my license back. I can't be more grateful for his expertise, his ability to understand my case, and best representation.

Hired Darryl to help with my case. He was extremely detailed and organized and explained things to me in simple terms that I could understand. You want this man on your side, he will go to bat for you and be on your side.

It's hard to give the due accolades to Darryl and his firm in a simple review forum. From the minute I signed on through my acquittal - I was at every turn amazed by the professionalism, tact, and, tenacity Daryl and his team exhibited. Not only is Mr Genis excellent in his craft, but he was very strategic, detail oriented and a great person to work with. I have no doubt that had it not been for retaining his services, I would have been at the loosing end of the legal system… that is pure skill or maybe just a great person - I’m going to venture to say it is all of the above!

Mr. Genis stepped in to assist our son on very short notice and succeeded in getting his DUI charge reduced. The compassion he showed for our son guided us through a difficult time. I would highly recommend Darrly Genis.

I came to Mr. Genis afraid and confused. My lawyer at the time had just told me that the best deal I could get was jail time and a suspended license. I was innocent and was determined to fight but my lawyer at the time was advising me not to. Not ready to give up I sought a meeting with Mr. Genis. I read about him and saw some of his advertising videos before our meeting but was not sure if all the hype was true. After our meeting I decided to take a chance and reject the DA’s offer and move forward with my case with my new lawyer Mr. Genis. This turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. I cannot overstate the fact that if it was not for Mr. Genis, I would not have the career that I’m fortunate enough to have now. He was able to expose important details of the case that would not have come up if it were not for him. You have to understand this; if there are some cracks in the case that the state has against you, the prosecutor is not going to point them out on your behalf and let you walk. If the arresting officers make any mistakes, they’re not going to point them out for you. It’s going to be up to you and your attorney to hold them accountable. Accountable could mean that the arresting officers did everything right, the lab that does your BAC test did everything right...but what if they didn’t. The police and prosecutor’s case does not have to be perfect to get a guilty plea or conviction. However if you have Mr. Genis on your side, they will have no choice but to meet that standard. Speaking of standards as some of you know, aside from having to go through the court system, unless your case went to trial and you got found not guilty; you still have to have a dmv hearing. My charges got reduced to a charge that did not have anything to do with driving. That did not stop the DMV from upholding my suspension. They have a lower bar to meet that Mr. Genis can explain far better than I can but just know that those hearings are very hard to win. Mr. Genis again, requiring the DMV to be perfect in their arguments was able to negotiate that my license be reinstated. If you’re taking the time to read this I can only imagine what you are going through right now. I’ve been there and I know the feeling of reading about someone’s story and asking well how does that relate to me? It is true that our cases may have very little in common, but if you hire Mr. Genis; the one thing I guarantee we’ll have in common is the standard of perfection that he will hold the arresting officers and prosecutors to.

To Whom It May Concern: I have known Darryl Genis for over 6 (six) years, professionally and personally. To understand this recommendation or business reference, you would need to know who I am and my business/legal experience. I am a scientist, a Doctor of Technical Science and business entrepreneur (with 35 years of experience), who has started and ran 6 multi-million dollar businesses in multiple markets. I have patented or trade secreted multiple technologies, worldwide, and I have hired over 50 attorneys in my business career. I am very qualified in saying Darryl Genis is one of the best attorneys I have ever worked within his area of expertise. He is professional, intelligent, personable, and efficient. Darryl is productive, and gets the outcomes that his clients want and need. I reviewed and interviewed 4 other top attorneys, before choosing Darryl Genis, as he had the best record for solving the legal issues in front of him. I highly recommend Darryl, as an attorney, and a person taking care of your issues. Sincerely, Dr. William

My experience with Darryl Genis was exceptional!!! I sought out Mr. Genis to handle my DUI case. He was very patient with educating me about the legal process, which I appreciated. He also made it a priority to communicate with me and keep me updated about the case. Normally, a case like this should take 4 months to a year to settle, however, Darryl got the case dismissed on his first day in court. I am so grateful to Darryl, and I cannot recommend him enough. He’s very efficient, and he sincerely cares about his clients and does his every best for each of them.

I got in an accident and was cited for a DUI. I called Mr. Genis the next morning on the weekend and he quickly responded with his opinion on my situation. Because I was over 21 and had only blown a .05, he predicted that the DA would reject the case and the DMV would set aside any action on my license. I was still nervous and unsure about what would happen, but Mr. Genis was extremely helpful and offered to take care of the paperwork and essentially babysit my case until the court date for free. Other lawyers had offered me the same services for thousands of dollars, but Mr. Genis was able to take care of everything and he was 100% correct in his prediction! I was able to take care of the process of dealing with auto insurance, getting a car, and focusing on my job without having to constantly worry about the confusing process of the legal system thanks to him.
