Michael A. Simmrin is a Los Angeles DUI defense trial attorney and the lawyer behind LosAngelesDUIAttorney.com. He is licensed by the State Bar of California (Bar No. 238092, admitted 2005) and has spent roughly two decades defending people accused of driving under the influence and other serious criminal charges throughout Los Angeles County and across California.
Where many lawyers avoid the courtroom, Mr. Simmrin built his career in it. He has tried more than 100 jury trials to verdict — including 15 homicide cases, several of them capital — and has represented thousands of clients in California state and federal courts. That trial record matters in a DUI case: prosecutors and the court know which attorneys are prepared to take a case to a jury, and which are only looking to settle.

Focused on DUI Defense in Los Angeles
A DUI charge in California is fought on two fronts at once: the criminal case in court and the parallel DMV Administrative Per Se action that can suspend your license within 10 days of arrest. Mr. Simmrin handles both. His defense work routinely involves challenging the legality of the traffic stop, the administration and calibration of breath (PAS) testing, blood-draw procedure and chain of custody, and the reliability of field sobriety tests under California Vehicle Code 23152 and 23153.
Clients reach Mr. Simmrin directly. He stays available throughout a case because he understands how much stress and uncertainty a DUI arrest creates — and that the people facing it deserve straight answers about what comes next.
