If you are reading this, it is probably because you are doing what I did a little over 9 months ago, and that is surf the net for reviews on a good Criminal Defense Attorney. I was looking at four (4) Felonies and One (1) Misdemeanor, which meant jail time for sure. I was worried, petrified, and uneasy it all added up to considerable amount of stress. I drove by San Diego Defenders office almost every day, not realizing that I would need to contact them. During my first meeting with Mr. Daniel Smith, I felt a load off my back, my stress level reduced, because he was going to work on keeping me out of jail. He did not make any promises, but showed me that he was confident on his criminal defense skills, along with his Partner Jon Pettis, very knowledgeable and they work well together. Dan and his partner have a good relationship with the DA’s office, and Courts (I think that is very important). They knew the right people to get my case reduced, stay out of Jail with a low risk case; they also worked out a payment plan with the court. I was happy with the outcome and glad I made the right choice in calling San Diego Defenders office. Good Luck!

Daniel Smith is the definition of legal tenacity. My immigration case was complex. He worked diligently for over two years. With his extensive knowledge, he was able to exhaust all avenues and obtain a winning solution to my situation. Thank you San Diego Defenders!

He answer all my questions and he was very professional and honest lawyer I recommend him very much

I called him seeing how many great 5 star reviews he had on “Yelp” and I spoke to him over he phone and I can say I understand and see why he has been rated 5 star for what he does he is very honest and does his job out of heart not for the money but to sincerely help someone in need he gave me free advice on how to go about my process.. without charging me and not many people do that so honestly goes along way if you are looking for a honest criminal justice lawyer please go to “ San Diego defenders “ you won’t be disappointed.... thank you San Diego defenders for listening to my case and giving me your honest opinion

What an amazing an professional team! Unfortunately i got arrested for Dui in April and my alcohol level was really high. This was my first DUI and i was unsure of what might happen. The legal team there is knowledgeable about the laws. I just left their office and i am pleased what i was told. My attorney was able to get the lowest charges reduced and i will not be facing any Jail time. Thank you so much and I am pleased with the outcome. I am amazed about how fast everything got resolved. I highly recommend this team of criminal defense. And they do offer affordable payment plans for anyone who is facing financial difficulties.

Mr Smith represented me well, kept me informed along the way, help keep me calm and confident in unknown territory. Furthermore, when questions arose he took my call and answered all my questions. He made it easier to afford by offering a payment plan.

Thank you very much Mr. Daniel Smith and his team. As soon I spoke to you I feel safe and in good hands regarding my situation. He’s a great lawyer. Muchas gracias Sr. Daniel Smith y su equipo, cuando por fin hablé con usted me sentí con seguridad y en buenas manos referente a la situación en la que me encontraba. Es muy buen abogado.

Dan Smith is the man. Answered my questions and out my mind at ease.

Ok. I am a very hard working technical professional always rushing to the next job. I was in a hurry a couple of months ago and received a speeding ticket. Daniel Smith represented me and was able to get the whole thing dismissed. Daniel's representation is unsurpassed and you need to call him today. His experience and track record is what you need.

I just got off the phone with Mr.Smith! He was very helpful' answered my questions and made me feel better about this situation. He gave me free advice which was great! He was the only lawyer that actually gave me answers instead of telling no you just have to wait. And spoke to me about the APP they have which is helpful thank you mr smith. Even the his receptionist was wonderful on the phone. Thank you!

I retained Mr. Smith to help with a legal matter with my son. Since I live in Texas, I needed someone in California to handle matters. Mr. Smith took care of everything and had my son's case dismissed.

The case was dismissed. Mr. Smith was very helpful and answered all questions throughout the entire process.
