Law Offices of William C Makler PC

Mr. Makler’s services were well worth the money. Our son was faced with felony charges of burglary and conspiracy to commit burglary with the potential of jail or even prison time. Mr. Makler had the charges dismissed and reduced to a $ 200 fine.
Mr. Makler’s superior knowledge of the justice system and dedication to the case is what saved our son.

I worked with Bill because he had previously helped (2) of my friends who were happy with their outcomes. I came in knowing he was great and I was very at ease knowing that I was in good hands. He represented me well, made all my court appearances for me, and negotiated some really helpful aspects of my case. I would have been lost without him! He took my phone calls, answered my emails & met with me whenever I needed him. In the midst of helping me with my case, he won a VERY significant case against the CHP which you can read about below. He’s great & very talented and knows his facts. I highly recommend using him, he is worth every penny and then some!

Bill Makler is simply the best defense lawyer in Santa Barbara.
Literally he is the first name that shows up when you search for «Best DUI lawyer in Santa Barbara», and all the reviews are spot on: He handled my case with a very high level of professionalism as he stood firm despite multiple setbacks over the course of my case.
Bill was always quick to respond to any email or phone call at any time of day and would even meet with me outside of his normal office hours so I didn’t need to miss any work during the entirety of my trial.
Bill was able to turn my DUI/​resisting arrest charge to a wet and wreckless which allowed me to keep my job, my driver’s license, and my sanity during this extremely stressful time and for that I am extremely grateful.
Without a doubt Bill Makler is a life saver and should be anybody’s first call in a DUI situation.

A miracle worker. I know he must get frenzied calls from crazies all the time, but Mr. Makler was extremely attentive, responsive and compassionate. He has been doing this a long time and definitely knows the ins and outs of the Santa Barbara Courthouse. I cannot recommend him highly enough, and that is coming from another attorney.
Also, his office assistant Amy is a doll, very responsive and helpful as well. I do not know what I would have done without the quick and effective representation of Mr. Makler.
