As a fourth generation native of Monterey, California and a graduate of Monterey High School, I am grounded in the community. I am also a graduate of Brigham Young University, and I earned my law degree at San Joaquin College of Law.

As a California criminal defense attorney, I have represented individuals facing state criminal charges, including narcotic trafficking, felony DUI, and vehicular manslaughter.

Meet the Business Owner

John C.

Business Owner

I have been recognized several times in the news as an impressive criminal defense lawyer. Because I have developed a reputation for the highest level of representation and ethical standards, I am often referred cases by local judges, prosecutors, DMV hearing officers, local law enforcement and other DUI/​Criminal Defense lawyers. I have been referred to by one local judge as the Dean of DUI Defense. I am often consulted by other DUI Defense Lawyers on various scientific and procedural issues. I offer personal service as a DUI Attorney in both the Monterey and Santa Cruz areas to my clients by listening to their side of the situation and by thoroughly explaining the charges they are facing. I am a founding member of Board of Directors for the California DUI Lawyers Association (CDLA) and have 10 years of experience working on serious cases for persons accused of DUI.

John pulled off several legal miracles. Where other senior attorneys were calling it a «fool’s errand»… John was able to get some key court orders out of a CA-​district court which overturned a driving suspension. He also got an expungement granted with quick turnaround. John leverages his knowledge and reputation for the benefit of clients. I recommend him wholeheartedly to look after your legal needs.

My aunt hired John to represent her in a case. I went along with her for the initial consultation and she hired him immediately. He was very sympathetic to her situation and right away got to work on her case. He was able to talk to the DA initially to get her sentence reduced, then after another mediation, was able to get her case dismissed without any fines, community service or probation. He was definitely worth the cost and my aunt is so relieved. Thank you John and staff for all your hard work.

After Jon Coniglio took my case the anxiety, fear, and uncertainty was immediately calmed. I had a DUI with injury. I never had experienced any sort of trouble with the law. I was petrified. He was able to get my felony charges dropped to a misdemeanor. I am so relieved and grateful. He is a very kind person and if I had a question he would immediately contact me back. I would recommend him to anybody. He is the best!

Used him about 3 years ago. [didn’t know he was on Unilocal or I would have reviewed sooner] I was facing serious (in my opinion) problems. Concerned car accident.
My insurance agent «advised» me to just roll over and take the consequences.
I’d heard of the Coniglio law connection. First interview, He heard and understood the problem so quickly it was impressive. He seemed ultra-​focused on the issue, but nothing judgmental in his approach. I could tell him anything. He got the best possible results for me.

As other reviewers noted, John’s demeanor, professionalism and the respect he has among his peers inspires confidence. I retained Mr. Coniglio when my under age daughter was in an accident and charged with DUI. From the initial consultation John’s concern was always centered around my daughter’s health, well being and the impact on her immediate future. Throughout discussions with the DA’s office, the court hearing and a subsequent DMV hearing John managed our expectations, communicated issues clearly and kept us fully informed. Mr. Coniglio and his staff far exceeded all expectations. I would recommend John Coniglio without hesitation

John Coniglio was a huge help when my sister got in trouble and received 2 felony charges. She was facing a year in jail but ended up receiving probation and community service. He was so nice and was really there for my sister and my family through a difficult time. Thank you for your help John, we couldn’t be anymore satisfied with the outcome.

I got a DUI, last year and he was amazing. He made an extremely stressful situation a little more tollerable. He didn’t take no for an answer when the ADA refused to lower the charges to a wet and reckless. He also was very accommodating when it came to court appearances. I have a 2 year old daughter and childcare was an issue, he made it so I never had to appear in court. He also only charged a flat fee instead of by the hour, which in my case would have been significantly more expensive. I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a trustworthy and dependable lawyer.

The legal system can be an intimidating place. John quickly gains your trust with his easy going demeanor. He is kind, knowledgeable, experienced, respectful, prepared and aggressive. He takes the initiative to communicate. He is respected by his peers. And tests for your clear understanding of a complicated language and labyrinth of legal steps. Thanks John, for you efforts on my behalf.

John is a kind, smart, understanding and helpful professional. He not only listened to me fully about my case about a battery charge that was a complete misunderstanding, but also gave me practical and sincere insights of how the legal system works. Moreover he provided these services as a free consultation that no other lawyers have given.
Thank you John and be success with you!

Mr. Coniglio assisted a friend of mine with a fairly serious charge. He was professional, prepared and clearly knew the case and the options for my friend to consider. Not only was he able to cut to the heart of the matter and keep the big picture in mind, he helped my friend way all the options so that he could make a proper decision.
Watching Mr. Coniglio’s manner and ability to negotiate on my friend;s behalf, it was clear to me that he knew the courts and was respected by his peers and colleagues. My friend was in excellent hands and received very good representation.
I would recommend Mr. Coniglio to anyone who might be in trouble. He does a great job. Thank you.
