Jorge Hechavarria was a pleasure to work with! I consulted with multiple attorneys for my case and Jorge was not only sympathetic but realistic and the best choice. Throughout the case, whether there was major updates or not, Jorge would check in consistently and made himself available at any time. I appreciate the representation I was given by Jorge, I would definitely recommend him and would consult with him again need be. The firm is very welcoming and made me feel comfortable whenever I was in the office.

Excellent place to work.

There are over 166,000 licensed practicing attorneys in California, the odds of finding the right one are slim. I know because my case was almost lost due to an Atty that did not take the time and care to represent me in my best interest. All that changed the moment I met Jessie Zaylia, after spending the time to review my case,she took over and my case was now in the hands of a caring person, not just an Atty. and I trusted her completely. She doesn’t take every case, but if Jessie takes your case, rest assured you made the right choice. 😊

It was sheer luck how Chris became my lawyer. When I was met with the pending doom of deportation, I picked with tears in my eyes, "That guy. He seems nice." And through the magic of Google, I found Christopher Bou Saeed, an oddity of a criminal justice attorney who didn't seem at all jaded by his career path. He handled my case with ease, despite the 'surprise' immigration implications that drove me insane. He spent hours with me on the phone, patiently breaking down the process and pathways the case could go. It seemed almost too easy for him. Before court, I wondered did I hire the right guy? Does he even care how this would impact my life? Day of court, Chris came prepared with all the force I had previously missed. He was energetic and confident in his presentation of my circumstances to the judge, maintained professional rapport with other counsel and expertly strategic in having a once damning, life-changing charge turned into a dismissal. Needless to say, I highly recommend Chris.

Sara is great! Even though her firm could not take me on as a client, she still took the time to talk to me and gave me some general advise that really helped me out with the issues that I was having at work. She’s really empathetic and cares about helping people. I really appreciate her help and highly recommend her and her firm.

Jorge listened, helped and supported me tremendously I feel special, important but most of all safe. I highly recommend! Thank You so much

Chris, did a great job representing me. He was always on call and answered all my questions when it was needed. I recommend Chris to anyone who is dealing with some type of hardship in there life. Chris will get you through it.

Chris did an outstanding job handling my case. He is great at communicating and has away of helping his clients understand the legal jargon. I highly recommend him and would definitely reach out to him, if needed.

Teresa Um was so helpful from the first call to the last update! I am very grateful to have had her by my side after my accident.

I want to give my most heartfelt thanks for Matt’s legal advice and skill. He is a kind, supportive, intelligent, and incredibly skillful attorney. I spoke to many law firms before I decided to work with Derek Smith Law Group. Now I am just so glad that I made the right choice. Matt is the best. I would totally recommend Matt.

Michael and his Team were absolutely amazing. When going into a situation that is personal you never know what kind of service you are going to encounter. They were amazing and me feel at ease. Would highly recommend!
