About
The 1st photo is a presentation to me of the President's Award of the CA DUI Lawyers Association (CDLA) for my service to the organization and my dedication to the defense of liberty. Other photos shown are from my recent training in Chicago IL at Axion Labs for Forensic Chromatography and in Harrisburg PA where I was presented with recognition for attending and successfully passing the proficiency based testing for the Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) Advanced Course. The instructor, Tony Palacios is congratulating me at the presentation ceramony and the other photo shows me with Steve Oberman, president of the National Assoc. of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and Bruce Kapsack, author of Innovative DUI Trial Tools and co-author of California Drunk Driving Defense. I place these here to show you the lengths I will go to in order to be at the top of my game when it comes to defending my clients. Practicing DUI Law in Sonoma County and surrounding areas for the last 10 years has given me a great appreciation for the problems that these arrests can cause to citizens accused and often over-charged. I've also been fortunate to meet many people in the wine and food industry, the hospitality industry and the building trades. My dedication is never ending when it comes to helping all of these folks and those visitors to our area who had the misfortune to meet up with the local police in a moment miscalculation. You'll not find a more dedicated, enthusiastic and zealous lawyer and protector of the U.S. Constitution. My commitment to my clients is neverending and never gives in to those who would have an accused simply throw in the towel.

Jon provides the most pertinent and helpful information on his website. Based on this, I gave him a call and was amazed when he answered the phone on a Friday afternoon . He was busy and said he would call me back and did. He talked to me for awhile but almost right away told me something no on else had told me which was a great relief to me. He didn't push to represent me, in fact said he thought it could be handled by the public defenders. I preferred to have private counsel and retained him. Through out the process he maintained contact and provided me with information about the arrest I never expected to see. Most importantly he got me a plea in the case which will prevent me from having a DUI on my record, providing I meet the terms of the fine, education and behavior. I feel a great amount of gratitude for Jon.
I was completely overwhelmed as someone who has never been in trouble in their life. Jon answered my call immediately, talked me through my fears and anxieties, and took as much time as I needed to feel at ease. He met me at my first court date, he was warm and kind. I was a nervous wreck and while he had another client waiting, he handled both of our cases with grace and ease and made both of us feel like actual human beings instead of case numbers. I saw him assure his other client and his wife, to their great relief, and I knew I made the right decision hiring him. Before my case was called, he told me what to expect, he answered my 1.5 million questions, and got me through the day. I never had to spend another day in court. I am a mother of a toddler with plans to travel to run a marathon and I didn’t know what to do. I would have been lost without Jon. I didn’t want a run of the mill, fast talking lawyer. I wanted someone with experience and finesse and he had both. I blew a .23 with video footage, I remember about 3 seconds of the entire ordeal. I thought I’d be thrown in jail, but Jon walked me through every step of regaining my license, signing up for classes and paying my court fines. He was flexible and accommodating with his schedule and would always get back to my emails or calls without delay. I am grateful to him and would 100% recommend anyone to consult and hire this brilliant man.
I was on DUI probation and violated it 5 days before my probation was terminated. I called Jon Woolsey and liked that he was experienced and knowledgeable about my situation. I hired him immediately. He told me not to stress, that he felt very confident about keeping me out of jail. But I was stressed the whole 3 weeks before the court date, because Sonoma County comes down hard on you for violating probation. I was scared they would put me in jail for a month. Also I hold a license in the medical industry so I was scared of that being revoked as well. Mr. Woolsey got the charges dropped! So no violation! It is not on my record. Hiring Mr. Jon Woolsey was the best money I have ever spent. I would highly recommend him. He is the best!
Mr. Woolsey did an excellent job for me. Made any involvement on my part totally transparent and unnecessary. Made excellent referrals wrt required activities. Great followup, communication. Overall he did much more than I expected resulting in something much less imposing, costly and restrictive than I expected. The one thing that I learned most of all is the wisdom of sticking with an attorney who specializes.
While visiting the Santa Rosa area on vacation I was arrested for a DUI. Once I returned to the Southern California area I contacted Jon. He was knowledgeable and honest and put my fears at ease. He was able to handle all court proceeding without me having to travel back to Santa Rosa and took care of all the D.M.V issues as well. On top of everything else he was affordable and I was able to make monthly payments. I truly do not know what I would have done if I did not have Jon in my corner every step of the way. If you ever find yourself in a situation like this I would strongly recommend calling Jon Woolsey. The only thing left to say is THANKS JON!
Jon Woolsey was the best DUI lawyer that I could have asked for! He worked with me for almost two years until everything was taken care of. I had to move from Sonoma county to San Diego county and Jon not only attended all the court hearings for me but he also made sure that I was able to meet all the court requirements even though I was no longer in Sonoma county. Jon is very professional and knowledgeable and helped me move past this experience with the least repercussions. I would recommend his services to anyone!
Throughout a very stressful process, Jon helped ease my many anxieties and achieved a result for me that I feared would be much, much worse. His approach and his real understanding of complicated issues is carefully communicated in a patient, down-to-earth manner. Jon makes a real effort to connect and reaches out in a way that helps to calm nerves so that you can move forward .
He was very prompt and got my case taken care of within a matter of days. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance. Thanks again Mr. Woolsey!
Mr. Woolsey has exceptionally high standards in his practice. He researched my case thoroughly and operated in the most efficient and effective way. He very knowledgeable and responsive. He was successful in my case. I would absolutely recommend him.
Jon Woolsey saved my life. I was going to get a second dui for blowing a .10, two points above the legal limit. He has amazing resources and long story short he found an error in the breathalyser and had a technician on stand by ready to testify on my behalf. Jon Woolsey is very thorough and detailed. I highly recommend Mr. Woolsey. If it weren't for him I'd be without a license, job, and doing jail time.
