Faq Report

The laws against drunk driving are the same throughout California. The principal statutes relating to drunk driving are found in the California Vehicle Code. However, there are procedural and practical variations in how DUI cases are handled in different counties and even between different superior courts county.

Called in and was quoted two very different prices first $500 then $800. Very rude on the phone and not helpful. I took my business elsewhere, found much better pricing. Beware.

I will agree with many of the other reviews that AODD's front desk employees come across a little uncaring. It left quite the unpleasant taste in my mouth when I went to sign up and was treated like a criminal. The classes were manageable, it was the AA requirement that is really taxing. The instructors though were mostly pleasant, but Henry was one of the kindest people I have ever met.

He makes a point to remember every student's name, and shake your hand after every class. I was actually a little sad when I finished my last class knowing that I wouldn't be seeing him anymore.

Like several others have said, this school is nothing but a shady court-backed business out for your money. They WILL find ways to fine you, hassle you, and even TERMINATE you from the program, making you start from week 1 and paying AGAIN. Stay away from AODD, seek others if you must.
