"DUI Heroes: Exceeded My Expectations"
Rachel and her team were extremely knowledgeable, reliable, and responsive.
She made an overwhelming process manageable
Working with Attorney Kaia Kopitnik was one of the most reassuring and positive experiences I could have hoped for during one of the most stressful times of my life. Facing a DUI charge, I felt lost, overwhelmed, and scared about what the future might hold. I had never been through anything like this before and didn’t even know where to begin. From the very first conversation, Kaia treated me with respect, compassion, and understanding. She listened carefully to my concerns, never judged me, and immediately gave me a sense of hope that I was not alone in this process.
Kaia stood by me from the very beginning of the case. She walked me step-by-step through what to expect, explained the legal process in plain language, and reassured me whenever I started to feel anxious or uncertain. Every time I had a question — whether big or small — she was there to provide an answer, often responding faster than I expected. She never once made me feel like I was bothering her, and she had a way of explaining things that made even complicated legal matters clear and understandable. That level of communication was invaluable to me and gave me peace of mind when I needed it most.
What impressed me most was how Kaia balanced professionalism and compassion. She is an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled attorney, but she also knows how to connect with her clients on a human level. She didn’t just treat me as a case file or a legal problem to solve — she treated me as a person. She truly “held my hand” through an unfamiliar and frightening journey, making sure I always felt supported and never alone. That type of personal attention is rare, and it is what makes her stand out as an exceptional advocate.
Kaia’s dedication extended far beyond answering questions. She consistently checked in on me, prepared me for hearings, and made sure I understood the strategies being used in my defense. I always felt like she was two steps ahead, anticipating what might come next and making sure I was ready. Even in moments when I felt overwhelmed, she remained calm and reassuring, and that steady presence made all the difference for me.
In addition to Kaia’s outstanding support, the DUIHeroes team as a whole was excellent. Everyone I interacted with was professional, responsive, and caring. Together, they created an environment where I felt safe and respected at every stage. When it came time for my pre-trial, Attorney Rachel Reich represented me with confidence and skill, and the result was an incredible outcome: my DUI was reduced to reckless driving, with no jail time and no probation. That resolution changed my life, and I know that Kaia’s involvement and preparation from the start were a primary reason why things ended so positively.
Looking back, I realize just how important it was to have Kaia on my side. She made an overwhelming and intimidating process manageable, and she gave me hope when I needed it most. Her professionalism, communication, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients set her apart from so many others. She is not just an excellent lawyer — she is someone who truly cares about the people she represents.
Suppose you are searching for a criminal defense attorney who will not only fight for the best possible outcome, but will also stand by you with empathy, patience, and dedication. In that case, I cannot recommend Attorney Kaia Kopitnik enough. She is an outstanding advocate who combines deep legal expertise with genuine compassion, and I am incredibly thankful for everything she did for me. Having her in my corner made all the difference, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of trustworthy, effective, and compassionate legal representation.
DUIHeroes truly lived up to their name.
DUIHeroes truly lived up to their name. From my first call, I was overwhelmed and unsure what to expect. Attorney Kaia Kopitnik immediately took the time to explain the process, timelines, and realistic outcomes. She checked in regularly, answered every question with patience, and made sure I understood each step before we moved forward. I never felt rushed or judged—only supported.
When it came time for my pre-trial, Attorney Rachel Reich represented me with skill, preparation, and confidence. She clearly knew the facts, the law, and the courtroom dynamics, and it showed in the result: my DUI was reduced to reckless driving with no jail and no probation. That outcome changed my life, and I’m incredibly grateful.
Beyond the courtroom, the entire DUIHeroes team was excellent—professional, responsive, and organized. They set expectations, kept me informed about court requirements and deadlines, and even guided me on what to expect from the DOL regarding possible license implications. Every message was timely, every instruction was explicit, and I always felt like my case mattered.
This was a stressful and unfamiliar journey, but DUIHeroes made it manageable and gave me hope. If you want compassionate guidance paired with top-tier legal advocacy, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend DUIHeroes—and especially Attorneys Kaia Kopitnik and Rachel Reich—to anyone who needs strong, trustworthy representation.

DUIHeroes deserves a well-earned thank you
DUIHeroes deserves a WELL EARNED THANK YOU to each and every one of the people on their amazing team for helping me navigate a very difficult legal and personal path that was significantly unfamiliar to me. Their professional, attentive, supportive, and results-oriented approach to my case was the difference between this being a life lesson that I can learn from & grow beyond, instead of a monumental disaster of a mistake that would have had unrecoverable consequences! From the initial call to their firm, to the last moment where we stood in front of the Judge awaiting their decision, Jonathan Dichter and his team stood by me making sure I knew that I was not alone and that they would fight for me with the utmost determination, relentlessness, strength, integrity, and experience that I could ever ask for! I feel extremely blessed to have found them during my search for a DUI attorney and would highly recommend and encourage anyone else who is looking for representation to pick up the phone and call Jonathan and his team ASAP! DUIHeroes made a positive impact on me and made a positive difference in the outcome of my case!!

Kaia was quick to respond to my questions and made the process as simple and easy as it could be. She advocated for me and helped me reach the best possible outcome for my situation. I can't recommend Kaia enough!
Thrilled with the Outcome
Excellent attorney, and I'm thrilled with the outcome of my case. Rachel took the time to explain everything to me in a way that was easy to understand. For anyone facing a DUI, I'd definitely recommend DUI Heroes.
Edward Greene
Excellent Attorney
Excellent attorney. They took the time to explain my options in a way that was easy for me to understand and also held my hand when necessary. If you're facing a DUI, I'd highly recommend them.
We truly felt supported every step
A trusted friend referred our family to DUI Heroes, and from the very beginning, we knew we were in good hands. After reaching out to several other law firms with no responses or urgency, we were relieved to be contacted immediately by DUI Heroes. The entire process was explained to us with professionalism, clarity, and respect. It was clear that this is a firm committed to doing right by their clients. Despite the difficult circumstances, the outcome was far better than we expected, and we truly felt supported every step of the way. I hope to never need their services again, but if I or someone I care about ever does, I would absolutely return to DUI Heroes and recommend them without hesitation.
GenXer _

Couldn't ask for better attorneys.
Tucker Stocum
Unmatched Skill and Experience
Honesty, compassion, and skill are hard to come by. DUI Heroes is the exception. If you have found yourself in a position that requires putting your trust in a law firm's hands, put your trust here with them. I do not know what my family would have done without them. Their skill level and experience are unmatched, and their ability to create a feeling of security in a time where it is very easy to feel anything but is invaluable. Grateful and fortunate to have found Jonathan, Chris, and everyone at DUI Heroes doesn't begin to scratch the surface—but I hope it will suffice here.

Incredible Team at DUI Heroes
The team at DUI Heroes are incredible. The attorney that I personally dealt with, Rachel Reich, handled my case with the utmost sincerity, keeping my best interests always in mind. There is no way that I could have navigated the nightmare of the court system on my own. I shall be forever grateful, thankful, and appreciative of all of their hard work on my behalf. I strongly recommend the legal team at DUI Heroes.
Don Hornby
Swiftly Closed My Case with Great Outcomes
I have had a spotless record up until now; but due to unfortunate circumstances, had required the expertise and sympathetic ear that Jonathan Dichter and his team were able to offer me. Fortunately, JD not only swiftly closed my case as he promised he would but did so with the best possible outcomes regarding my case. During our initial conference, he listened carefully and intelligently to accurately assess the strengths and weaknesses regarding my case. I found Jonathan Dichter and his company to possess a tight-knit 'family' of compassionate professionals, which includes his associate lawyer, Chris Wong, as well as his assistant Alexis Ramos. Each of these individuals with whom I have had the pleasure of working with, displayed a timely and seamless-like approach regarding the specific time frames and logistics of my case. Their working together like a well-oiled machine is indicative of JD's fine leadership. What could have been a much more painful, lengthier, and complicated process, was instead sped up and simplified due to Mr. Dichter's years of experience as the company's head. I am confident and pleased to retain Jonathan Dichter for any future cases; as I highly recommend his services to whomever may need similar assistance. They will not be disappointed.

For anyone considering hiring this firm, I would strongly encourage you to consider doing so. This firm lives up to what it says. They will be there for you until the very end. It was a long process and not due to the fault of the firm. It had to do with the prosecution and a corrupt judge. It took a couple years for us to get results, but we got them nonetheless. Jonathan and his team are caring and compassionate and their customer service is on a level like none other. My wife and I are grateful to this team and extremely happy we chose them.
Confident and Polished in Court
Highly recommend Jonathan! First, he not only got my BAC removed from evidence, the state still wanted to take this case to trial, which I was scared to do, but he reassured me he felt confident in my case and made me feel confident through the process. He was so polished during trial, with his knowledge of DUIs and how to conduct and present in front of a jury, it was truly amazing to witness. It was a long journey, but from start to finish I never once felt like I didn’t put my life in the right person's hands. I can’t stress enough how putting this life decision into him and his team’s care benefited my life. I will always recommend Jonathan and his team to any who need it.
Highly recommend Kaia and the team
Working with Kaia representing on a current case, and she has been extremely communicative, easygoing, and understanding. I was very stressed about my arraignment, but she handled everything perfectly and answered all my questions, leaving me feeling much better about the situation. The team at DUI Heroes is great, and I highly, highly recommend using Kaia and the team at DUI Heroes.

It is possible to get an aggravated DUI charge reduced in certain circumstances, but this will depend on the specifics of the case, including the evidence and state laws. An experienced DUI attorney can review the case details and may identify weaknesses in the evidence or procedural errors that could lead to a reduced charge or lighter sentence.
What should I do after being charged with aggravated DUI?
After being charged with an aggravated DUI, it is crucial to seek legal representation as soon as possible. An experienced attorney can guide you through the legal process, advise on how to handle court appearances and required documentation, and work to develop a strong defense strategy tailored to your case.
What is an aggravated DUI?
An aggravated DUI is a more serious form of a regular DUI charge and is typically elevated because of certain aggravating factors such as having multiple DUI offenses, driving with a suspended license, or being involved in an accident that causes injury or death. This charge carries harsher penalties and can result in more severe legal consequences.
What are the penalties for an aggravated DUI?
Penalties for an aggravated DUI can be severe and often include longer jail sentences, higher fines, extended license suspensions, mandatory DUI school, installation of ignition interlock devices, and probation. The exact penalties depend on the specifics of the case, including the aggravating factors and the jurisdiction where the offense occurred.
