Not Guilty

In a world filled with attorneys that don’t seem to care about their clients, it was refreshing to find someone with as much compassion as Mr. Valencia.

You Saved Me

When I needed help, you were there for me. We all make mistakes, unfortunately mine almost cost me everything. I was already mentally prepared to do some serious prison time. I heard about you through an inmate you were representing. I can’t thank you enough for what you did for me. You saved me. Thank you!!!

He Fought My Case

After my 3rd DUI I knew if I messed up again I was going to jail for sure. I was guilty and I was certain there was no way anyone could help me. I hired Oscar thinking he could maybe get me less jail time. Instead he actually fought my case. Very happy with the result. Thanks Oscar!

You’re amazing

I can’t thank you enough for taking my sons case. I felt hopeless, and as a mother I blamed myself for everything that was happening. I still get tears in my eyes when I think of everything you did for us. Thank you. You’re amazing

The Best Decision

My Wife found you guys through a friend. I’ve never been in trouble before and I was scared out of my mind. I was innocent but fighting my case was not easy. Hiring your firm was the best decision I ever made. Thank you!

Charges Reduced

My cousin got arrested and my family hired a ‘family attorney’. This attorney was trying to convince my cousin to take a deal that would have put him away for over 10 years. We then hired Elite Criminal Defense, they got him probation instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Do I have to go to court?

Not necessarily. In many cases an attorney can handle all of your court appearances for you, without you having to be present; keeping you Informed every step of the way, so you can stay focused on what matters most.

How much does a DUI or Criminal defense attorney cost in San Diego?

We offer the most competitive rates in San Diego county. Our fees are based on a case by case bases. The good news is we don’t charge hourly like most firms. We charge a flat fee. This means that the fee will be tailored to your specific case.

What is a “Flat Fee”?

A Flat Fee means that before you or anybody signs anything you’ll know exactly what you’re paying from start to the very end of your case. Once you’re a client at ELITE Criminal Defense our fees will never change until our scope is completed.
