DUI Defense in Napa & the Bay Area – Protect Your License & Future

Napa County is known for strict DUI enforcement, especially around wineries, tasting rooms, and major events.
A DUI conviction can result in license suspension, heavy fines, increased insurance rates, and even jail time.

At Bertolino Law, we aggressively challenge DUI charges by investigating:

  • Police Stops – Did law enforcement have probable cause?

  • Breath & Blood Tests – Were they administered correctly?

  • Field Sobriety Tests – Are the results unreliable?

  • Negotiation & Trial Defense – We push for dismissals, reduced charges, or acquittals.

If you’ve been arrested for DUI in Napa, San Francisco, Oakland, or anywhere in Northern California, you need a skilled DUI lawyer who knows how to fight back.
