I was arrested for domestic violence and was referred to Ms. Kay by a family friend. I met with Ms. Kay and she was the only attorney (out of several I consulted) who told me NOT to hire her or anyone else at that time. She said domestic violence cases are often hard to prove and based on my version of events she thought the DA would reject the case for what she said sounded like "mutual combat." It was refreshing to hear an attorney telling me not to spend thousands of dollars on legal fees. Ms. Kay even offered to contact the DA's office FREE OF CHARGE to follow up on my case to see if the DA filed charges. Ms. Kay called me back a few days later and told me the DA rejected the case because there was not enough evidence to prosecute me. Ms. Kay never charged me a dime. Ms. Kay's honesty, integrity and knowledge of the law is refreshing and I will without a doubt refer her future clients.
The story doesn't end there. I am also a practicing physician in OC, and when I was arrested the medical board found out about it. Ms. Kay's firm also has an attorney who works with the medical board so I consulted with Courtney Pilchman about the notice I received from the medical board. Courtney spoke to me in her office and reviewed my police reports (which I had to have my wife get from the Irvine Police Department). She offered to contact the investigator and try and get the board to close out their investigation because no criminal charges were filed. Again, she DID NOT charge me for the meeting or the contact with the investigator. Once Courtney explained the facts to the investigator and provided a letter from the DA's office, the investigator sent me a letter saying the investigation was closed. I never had to sit for an interview with the medical board. This was a huge relief!
This was a terrible time for, having been arrested and fearing my career was going to be in jeopardy. I am so very grateful for the recommendation to Pilchman & Kay, they are not only exceptional lawyers but they are truly compassionate and concerned about helping people.

Anita Kay is a rare and exceptional attorney. What you see is what you get ! She is polished , precise , well versed and has every detail clearly attended too. It may sound corny but Anita is someone you can trust 100% . She has a unique ability to balance both her analytical prowess and exceptional communication skills to keep you informed . She exudes confidence yet makes clear the reality that may be ahead so you are very much on solid ground and not confused by the process. I was initially impressed with Ms. Kay's professional demeanor and command of the law when I retained her , what I was most grateful for however was knowing that she would do everything possible to protect me and you cannot ask for more than that !

Anita Kay and all her efforts have saved me from the criminal "no" justice system. I was an innocent man with nothing but my word. Ms. Kay fought so hard proving my innocence and we finally got my case dismissed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

She was amazing. Honest, straight forward, helping, always answered her phone when I had questions, and was astounding in court. On top of that she gave the most amazing closing speech in my case which I feel helped me to be a free man. It was very heart filled and genuine. Down to the peoples level. I was in trial for something I didnt do and she helped the jury to see that and keep me a free man. I cant thank her enough. She is the best of her kind. Thank you so much Anita!
