Sanaz is amazing and so professional. Things went so smooth and they are so reassuring that you cannot help but trust them.

I appreciate her prompt responses and knowledge of the law. Thank you again Ms. Bereliani

Sanaz was very helpful and was able to get me a nice settlement.

Sanaz is sharp, professional and passionate about her job. You’re in good hands if she’s representing you!!!

The law firm of Gold & Witham went above an beyond to represent me in my DUI matter (facing possible felony dui with injury, reduced to misdemeanor dui, MAD + HAM, and 3 month AB program). I could not have asked for a better attorney than Jeff Gold, he was there throughout the whole process. The help that attorney Jeff Gold provides is not just legal (and worth every penny), he also is a good man who wants you to understand the severity of the matter at hand and how you can grow from this situation to return a better person from it. Don't think that you can play games with the courts, you have to take this seriously and this law firm does, they will go above and beyond to represent you and get you a fair outcome.

I found this firm via their reviews online. From my very first call I felt that I had a coach and mentor to take me through the whole process. This turned out to be quite the case. I was prepped and encouraged at every step of the process. Getting a DUI is not a joke, and without such encouragement, understanding, and expertise, I doubt I'd have gotten the results I did. I can say with all honesty that Gold and Witham made a very painful and serious issue, seem manageable and not the end of the world. Indeed they encouraged it to be a new beginning. I highly recommend you give them call if you are ever in need of a DUI defense team.

I was arrested for my first DUI a few months ago. At the time I was completely freaked out, panicked, ashamed, didn't know how I was going to get through this. I started researching online and figured out quickly that I would need to hire an attorney. The reviews for Gold & Witham definitely stood out from the rest. I think I called on a Sunday afternoon and was not expecting anyone to pick up, but Jeff Gold himself answered the call! It was the only call I had to make. He was honest and direct from the very first call, did not try and sugar coat anything or make any promises about my outcome, which I appreciated. I had a BAC of .19, had run a red light and had been driving with no lights on at night. I was facing jail time, Caltrans work/community service, high penalty fees, anywhere from 6-18 month DUI program, and a suspended license for a long time. He told me there would be a lot of work to do on my part: keep an attendance sheet of AA meetings (at least 40, although I ended up doing 110), two character references, one letter from myself to the court, and a psychology evaluation. It wasn't easy, in fact it was quite stressful for me - all of those things were well outside of my comfort zone. But he called every week to check-in, give me the latest status of my case, and hammered in the importance of what I was doing. Week over week, there was a shift somewhere and I started to feel better. The AA meetings were actually helping. I was sober and can honestly say I felt my life improve. I was even promoted at work during all of this! When my day in court finally came, all of the hard work paid off. He got the high BAC charge removed and I ended up with a 30 day license suspension, 5 month ignition interlock device for my car, and a 3 month DUI program. There was a fee of $1900, which he got cut in half. No jail time, no community service, no other mandatory programs or meetings. The judge even commended me at the end for all of the work I was doing to try and better myself. I could not believe it. In the end I realize I needed to do all of this work, not only for my case, but for myself. I've personally gained so much from this experience and know it's due in part to Mr. Jeff Gold's guidance and method. I'm so grateful and cannot recommend him or his firm highly enough! He's got your back and wants to help you if you want to help yourself. If you listen to him, follow his lead, and be open to the process, very good things will come from an otherwise horrible situation that you only want to find yourself in once.

convinced me to file a chapter 13. She then locked me into a high monthly payment of $475.00 for three years. Because I failed to make all the payments on time to the trustee my case was dismissed. I kept telling her $475.00 was too high and not to do it and she did it anyway. She wanted me to file a chapter 13 because she gets give or take about $4000.00 more give or take. She doesn't communicate with you very well and her assistant Chris fails to relay important messages you give him. Now I have I start all over again all because this lady wanted a little extra I her pocket. Because of her I've lost about $3000 give or take...She is a shady person and should not be practicing law! I am filing complaints to the state bar and the attorney general. Its been a little over a year since my bankruptcy was charged off due to mrs. Berelianis dishonest business practices and my new lawyer not only confirmed she was being shady in trying to get me to file a chapter 13....but told me i did qualify for a chapter 7. This lawyer will try to get you to file a chapter 13 telling you that you do t qualify for a 7. so she can make more money off you. Im not writing this review only because im upset i got scammed... but because i wish to let others know that she is shady and NOT TO BE TRUSTED! I got set back a year plus because of her! And finally found a trustworthy lawyer who is helping me. Dont be beguiled by this lady!!!! Please!

FightDUICharges referred my girlfriend here for her type of DUI charge. I am grateful they did, because her lawyer ended up getting the case dropped. I would definitely recommend again for anyone having to go through a DUI offense.

Without question the best DUI attorney in LA. I would be hard pressed to list all of the ways that Nigel was able to help me reduce the extent of the damages that I had created in my life. What is a truer testament to his character, as an attorney, is his ability to hit the ground running when dealing with highly complicated DUI cases such as my own. His no BS approach coupled with his experience allows him to get the results one should require when facing times such as these. Granted, Mr. Witham's prices can be on the high end. However, yet again to his character, after we had agreed on a price. He reached out to me to renegotiate the costs of my case because the circumstances had fallen more into my favor, then we had previously anticipated. Certainly a gentleman among men. In short, if you want honesty, respect and the "Big Guns" to get things done. Then Nigel Witham is your guy, hands down.

If you want your life to change for the better, Jeff Gold is the attorney you have been looking for. However, if you are looking for an attorney that is out to prove the police officer was wrong you should continue on your search. Your efforts are an absolute must when you hire Mr. Gold; and for good reason at that. After my DUI I felt hopeless and terrified. I knew what I did was wrong and I was willing to do whatever it took to help my case. I was able to attend 90 meetings prior to my court date. I work full time and have a household to take care of so there really are no excuses as to why these simple requests set forth by Mr. Gold cannot be achieved. I blew a .24 at the time of my arrest. With Mr. Gold’s help, which I am still in awe about, I received VERY MINIMAL fines, NO jail time, NO community service and only a one month suspension on my license. I am forever thankful for his process as he was very honest and never sugarcoated any details. I knew from the get go that I was up against a lot of factors. His weekly calls were very detailed and helped me stay informed. The day of court I was very nervous but Mr. Gold has a way of making you feel more comfortable with the process. I will be sure to call Mr. Gold in a few years again; this time not for a DUI but to say thank you for everything.

I'm extremely grateful for the help and support that I received from Mr Gold. I truly believe that I received the best outcome for my case by choosing Mr. Gold to represent me, and if you care at all about learning from this experience you should go with Gold & Witham.
