Nors is 100% the best DUI attorney I've had the experience working with. I received my first DUI in San Jose about 7 years ago. I was trying to flag down a cab and instead I ended up flagging down a cop instead. Rather than put me in a cab the arrested me for drunk in public. Then I was released, given the keys to my car and told to 'go home'. I tried to do exactly that and was immediately pulled over for a DUI..!!! In all honesty, my "First DUI" should have NEVER been a DUI - drunk in public "requires" the police to hold you 'until you are no longer a harm to yourself or others' - that's the law. They broke the law and told me to go home and gave me essentially a weapon. I thought I was only hungover, I could not fathom they would let me drive home drunk. I went through about $10,000 - $15,000 and 3 THREE law firms. All saying the same thing 'they can't do that, we'll get you off' They all (except the last, which chickened out at the court house and scared me into taking a plea of a wet reckless) quit returning my phone calls once they had my money. Alas, I recently had a bad experience where I had too much to drink and since the law was changed it was a SECOND offense (law was changed to 10 years in 2007). Well suffice to say I got really lucky and Nors was one of the first DUI attorneys here in SF I spoke to for this now '2nd offense DUI'. I evaluated several law firms after my utterly horrible past experiences with DUI attorneys. Ultimately I went with my 'gut' and hired Nors vs. a more expensive attorney (his prices are very reasonable). Nors was extremely professional, he calmed my nerves, he 'took the monkey off my back' (to borrow his words) so I could return to focusing on my life. Long story short, Nors "always" returned my phone calls. We met in person and went over all the details of my case, he informed me of all the ins and outs with regard to the specifics of my case and he made me aware that there was a serious issue regarding my arrest. I gave my approval for him to file a motion to suppress (which has about a less than 1% chance of success). Well I'm almost in disbelief as I type this because while the DMV ruling still stands my court case was DISMISSED! You can't put a price on that. I *never* intend to drink and drive again. Ever. However, not having to deal with Jail, Probation, and another "criminal mark" on my record is priceless. If you are in need of a DUI attorney in the bay area Nors is by far the best one out there in my experience and opinion. Thank you SO MUCH Nors! You're work is superb and your professionalism is unparalleled!

When I first hired my attorney for my DUI case, I knew nothing about Nors. I was told by some friends to be represented by Robert Tayac, because he was the best. Throughout most of my case, I only dealt with Nors. I never even met Robert until my actual hearing date, when my sentence was going to be determined. Even though my blood alcohol level was barely over the legal limit, I still had the potential to be served with a DUI. When Mr. Tayac came out of the courtroom, he said I was to be charged with a DUI. This would also mean that I would lose my driver's license for 6 months. In a panic, I called Nors, who was on his way from another case. Nors assured me, "don't panic, I'm on my way". When Nors arrived to the courtroom, he then said that although he didn't know if it would work, he would try going back into the courtroom to ask for an extension and another hearing date. Mr. Tayac never even offered me that option. Well, as it turned out, Nors DID get the extension for me, and when we went back to court a month later, he got my charges reduced to a wet and reckless, which means I would not have a DUI charge on my record. In addition, Nors also fought for me at the DMV, and I never had my driver's license suspended, not even for one day. I can't begin to describe my gratitude to Nors, and the work and effort he put into my case. Nothing like this will ever happen to me again, but I would trust Nors Davidson 100% if I ever needed an attorney again. He is truly amazing.

There are not enough words that I can say that explain my gratitude for Nors. One of the best human beings and probably one of the best lawyers you can hire for DUI cases. In 2019, I had the opportunity to hire him to help me out with my first DUI. Throughout the pandemic in 2020, he was there every step of the way and keeping me informed on how my case was going. He appeared on my behalf whenever I had a court date. Throughout the whole situation, Nors was able to get my DUI charge dropped down to a wet-reckless. If anyone is looking to hire a lawyer to settle your DUI charges. I can not think of anyone better than Nors.

I was visiting San Francisco for a work conference. Had the last minute idea of going to a wine festival and driving back to San Fran where my Air BnB during the weekend. I got pulled over for using my cell phone, and taken to jail with a .148. Napa was wanting 3 weeks jail time, which could result in job loss because I didn't have enough vaca days to cover that. Nors fought for me and got the minimum, but I did do over 100 hours of AA and alcohol abuse counseling. That helped. Overall, I have driven probably less then 200 miles and have a DUI in Cali not my shining accomplishment in life, but makes for a story. I had a million questions, and Nors answered as many as they could. Thank you again for all your help and assistance. I talked to probably 10 lawyers to handle my case, and I felt I had a connection with Nors and that he would do a good job. I really wanted to get off, but with .148 blood it isn't really possible. He tried though, and I am happy I didn't have to stay 3 weeks in jail.

Let me start by saying that I can't thank Nors enough to help me with my DUI Case. My case was one of the most complicated cases Nors must have dealt with considering the immigration consequences involved. Having yourself in a DUI situation can be a terrible feeling specially during these unpredictable COVID-19 times where everything is being handled virtually. Mails get lost, court dates get pushed and the person who's most affected by this is people like me and you. My case went on for about 1.5 years. It was an extreme case due to my immigration being involved. It was a DUI Refusal Case which with a high BAC. Cases such as these are treated with strict policies and laws especially in San Mateo county. Nors was always there to push and come up with unqiue solutions to solve my case and help me get the best results possible. It is almost impossible to get a DUI refusal case to a Wet Reckless / Reckless Driving conviction but it did happen and it happened with Hard work and unique approach of Nors. I pushed him and he pushed me to get the best results possible considering the circumstances of my case. Rest assured, at times, you might feel like giving up but at the end all what matters is you and your optimistic behavior in dealing with life situations like these. Nors helped me throughout the case. He was professional and even during these unpredictable times, he tried as hard and as much as he can to answer my calls and reply to my E-mails. I am proud of my decision to hire him as my attorney and I will advise you that if you are in a DUI situation where chances aren't looking favorable on your side, hire him as your attorney now. He will fight for you till the end and you will be surprised with the results that you will get.

Nors is #1, bar none. I had what seemed to be an impossible DUI case at the time. But Nors was persistent with the court, and made sure that we received the best possible outcome. I'll always be grateful to him. I'd give 7 stars if I could.

I hired Nors after consulting with a number of different attorneys for my DUI case. I valued his candor and attentiveness during the process. He has a good working relationship with the DA office in the city of San Francisco. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case.

Nors was always supportive of our unusual position and circumstance. A good listener and was able to explain all aspects and options of our case.

3 words to describe Nors's efforts with my case: persistent, knowledgable, professional. My DUI case from April 2011 resurfaced after about 6 years after I was the victim of a hit and run accident in SF in January 2017. Unbeknownst to me, there had been a warrant out for my arrest, and I then had to deal with the case after I was informed in 2011 that the case would be discharged after one year. The clerk had told me that I would be contacted if/when the case would be put on calendar, which never happened. Apparently this had become a regular occurrence in the SF court process years ago, as they were backlogged with too many cases, yet failed to notify the defendant/party involved of the warrant, nor even contact them. Upon my first phone consultation with Nors, he made me aware of this and that he had already dealt with similar cases that had been dropped by the DA office, some with far worse charges. The process took awhile, but thanks to Nors's persistence and knowledge of the SF DA office and unparalled experience with DUI cases in general, he was completely focused on having the charges dropped completely. Nors was completely honest and upfront about the possibilities had the DA attempted to prosecute the case, but never promised me a he result, which other attorneys had done. If you are reading these reviews and exercising your due diligence, I know what you are going through. I was more stressed than most people who had a DUI charge, and became both obsessive and compulsive about finding the "perfect" attorney for my case. I am so glad I consulted Nors, and just wish I had done it sooner. I hope you avoid going through the days and weeks of stress that I put myself through, and instead retain Nors. Good luck.
