Background: Most people will emphasize on the saying "I was at the wrong place at the wrong time" when they are accused of driving under the influence. In my defense, that saying is the epitome of my arrest on March 19th, 2017. I was hit by a drunk driver who totaled my car after failing to yield on a left turn. Like anyone who has been arrested for a DUI, I was terrified. More about the accident, and less about the events that transpired later that night. To this day I can remember the night as if it just happened. Anyways. Back to the story. I was questioned by a police officer after being removed from my vehicle about what I had to drink that night, and well the rest was history. Failed the field sobriety test according to their standards, and blew a 0.07. Still, I was arrested and accused of driving under the influence and driving with a BAC of 0.08 and above at the time of driving. To make my situation worse, I was a newly registered nurse in school finishing my Masters of Science in Nursing. Everything to lose, nothing to gain. I was emotionally distraught and terrified when I was released. Having no experience in DUIs, or defense attorneys I began scrambling for an attorney that would defend my case. After researching the DUI defense attorneys in Socal I came across Peter Iocona, who is one of the attorneys in the SoCal Law Network group. Now, I would lie if I wrote that I was completely convinced when I talked to Peter. Not because I didn't like him. But because I had no idea what I was getting into. I wanted answers, and I wanted them fast. But the reality was that I needed to just bite the bullet and hire someone who provided me security beyond the retainer fees and contracts involved. This attorney was Peter Iocona. At the time of the incident he was present, attentive, and constantly reassured me that everything would work out. But more importantly, he provided me with a realistic outlook. Which is what I needed. Not to mention, the court that my complaint was filed to is infamous for being the absolute worst when it comes to the DUI convictions. It is always refreshing to hear to raw truth from someone because you know its more than the money. Let's fast forward here. Today is February 11th, 2019. On January 31st, 2019 my case was acquitted. It took TWO YEARS for my case to be resolved. My attorney Peter Iocona and his partners, spent TWO YEARS being persistent with bringing my charges down to at LEAST a wet and reckless because that is what my case was worth. TWO YEARS were filled with arraignments, pre-trials, and meetings with DA. TWO YEARS later and the DA still would not budge due to the lack of justice the system actually cared about. TWO YEARS later my options were to 1. accept the DUI charges (2 charges) 2. go to trial. With support from my family, friends, and Peter I took my case to trial. Those of you who end up in a trial, or are thinking about it, be prepared for the emotional ride But also know that Peter Iocona is THE best DUI defense attorney off trial and in trial. He comes well prepared to the trial, and is knowledgeable. He is careful and experienced in all the right areas. Peter is absolutely phenomenal in trial with his organized approach. No words can explain how great Peter Iocona is as a defense attorney. He is professional, and best of all he's passionate. He is there for all his clients via phone, text, or email at any time. This was so important for me to have during these hard years. I recommend Peter Iocona and the SoCal Law Network if you are a professional individual seeking top notch representation. This is my success story. The time and financial commitment are huge, but every dollar and minute was worth it for me. Peter and his partners will defend your DUI and professional license if you have one. Today I am still a Registered Nurse with my Master of Science in Nursing and enrolled in a Nurse Practitioner program. I highly recommend Peter Iocona.

One of the best criminal defense lawyers in Orange County. I was scared s***less when was confronted with a possible 2 year prison sentence but Peter walked me through the whole thing every step of the way. Always answered my messages or calls when I had a question and told me exactly what to do throughout the whole ordeal. When cops tell you to tell them everything because they "want to help you" don't believe them. When Peter tells you to tell him everything because he wants to help you, obey his every word. Needless to say the whole thing took about 6 months and the case was eventually dismissed. His services are not cheap but his expertise is what you pay for. Thankfully he was able to work with me. When you need a lawyer act fast and call Peter! Thanks a lot Mr. Iocona. You're the best. Hopefully I never need to call you again but if I do, I have your number.

Where do I begin after getting my 1st DUI. I felt hopeless, scared, uncertain, and afraid of what life was going to look like in the following months after getting my DUI. It was almost crippling to think about how I was going to do this. I had no clue and didn’t even know where to begin. As anyone would do I started calling around and was referred to Peter. Some good graces must have been on me that day because I had the opportunity to talk to Peter that same day. Little did I know how quickly my life would change. When I had my first call with Peter we spoke for over an hour about my situation and he was kind, compassionate, caring, genuine and I knew I could trust Peter through the process of handling my DUI. Not once did I feel he was counting the time or rushed to get off the phone. After my talk with Peter as much fear as I had, all of that immediately subsided, I found hope and instantaneously knew in my heart that everything was going to be okay. Peter is an anomaly. Even if I didn’t understand every part of the process Peter always reminded me that it’ll all make sense eventually after all said and done. Peter goes above and beyond and you can truly tell his love for wanting to help others. His heart, authenticity, patience, commitment, knowledge, and transparency are all things that make him truly one heck of an amazing lawyer. I can say my life would be a lot different today had I not met Peter. I am so glad I never had to walk down this path alone. I am forever grateful for Peter’s guidance and support through this difficult journey, I will forever be grateful for meeting Peter. Peter makes you feel like family. Thank you doesn’t express my gratitude but truly thank you Peter.

Diligence, knowledge, professionalism and patience are only few of the qualities that one hopes to obtain when hiring an attorney. Mr. Peter Iocona exceeded all my expectations.

Amazing attorney. You will feel like Peter is a family member. He genuinely cares & goes over & beyond. Other lawyers I've had in the past will overbill & round up. Not Mr. Iocona. By far the best attorney I've ever had.

Peter did so much more for me than just represent me (an out-of-state client). He answered all my questions, explained each situation with patience, and most importantly, gave me the confidence to move forward. His guidance and words of encouragement have changed my life for the better. When I first spoke with Peter I was sure I had hit rock bottom. His words and consistent support enabled me to pursue "the best" in all areas of my life. I am now more successful than I have ever been, in my personal life and my professional life. Thank you!

Peter fought for me for a year on my DUI case. All said and done he was able to get my DUI reduced to reckless driving. This was amazing as I was dealing with a violation of probation. He kept me out of jail and my driving privileges normal. Thanks Peter.

Peter came highly recommended. His communication throughout the process was great. I could not be happier with the counsel I received or the outcome. You guys saved my life.

In an uncertain time Peter help me navigate through the hoops of a Felony DUI. Never felt any pressure to go with him as my Attorney and he was always response to my questions. If you find yourself in a need of someone, hands down would recommend Peter.

I got a speeding ticket in Costa Mesa. Knowing I had a warrant from 6 years earlier for driving on a revoked license. Knowing it carried mandatory jail time I started seeking legal counsel. Not to mention I had not had a valid driver's license since 1995 from a DUI it now being 2019, 24 years driving without a valid license always looking in the rearview mirror. After placing some calls I contacted Peter that first phone call changed my life. Peter spent a significant amount of time on the first call with me. He told me Let's put this behind you. Take care of this and not just quick fix a problem that will reoccure. Peter and his team went to work for me. The warrant was dismissed. I went into an 18 month alcohol program completed the program. Today I am a licensed driver. Here is my point Peter genuinely cared that I didn't look over my shoulder any more I am 64 years old. A grandfather. That first call changed my life and I have to say thank you for caring and showing me I could fix my problem with the correct guidance. Thank you for your time and effort in turning my life around. Robert Canfield
