Paul Richard Burglin

I am a California licensed attorney with decades of experience dedicated to defending individuals facing driving under the influence (DUI) allegations and related administrative actions. I am Board-Certified in DUI Defense, a distinction approved by the American Bar Association that reflects advanced knowledge, significant trial experience, and a high level of professional achievement in this area of law. With over 40 years of personal experience, I have been defending DUI cases in Bay Area courts. My practice covers a wide range of DUI defense matters, including first-time and repeat offenses, felony DUI charges, and more complex cases involving accidents or aggravating circumstances. I also represent clients in California DMV license suspension and revocation proceedings, addressing the crucial overlap between criminal cases and administrative consequences. Beyond courtroom defense, I have significant experience assisting clients in protecting their professional licenses before administrative boards, particularly when DUI allegations put their livelihoods or employment at risk. I co-authored the two-volume treatise *California Drunk Driving Law*, a widely regarded resource for attorneys and judges across the state. My commitment to the DUI defense community includes serving as Dean Emeritus and a former Regent of the National College of DUI Defense, highlighting my dedication to education, advocacy, and advancing DUI defense standards nationwide. I am known for conducting thorough case analysis and employing a strategic approach to defending DUI cases. My process involves examining every detail, including traffic stops, chemical testing procedures, evidentiary matters, and law enforcement compliance. I work to protect my clients’ rights, safeguard driving privileges whenever possible, and strive for the most favorable outcomes under California law.
