Consulted with a few attorneys to handle my DV case. Christopher was the 3rd attorney I talked with and I knew right away he is the one to represent me. He was very professional and carried himself with confidence. Very knowledgeable and experienced with handling DV cases. Also was sensitive to what I was going through and I felt he cared. Walked me through the process and what to expect. I did everything he asked for and in the end the court dropped my case. The court system can be very tricky and hard to navigate. Having good counsel on your side is important to make it out alive. Very happy he represented me. Highly recommended.

I contacted CBS Law under extreme stress and after normal business hours. The CBS Law team was sensitive to my stress and reassured me that I would receive the representation I needed. Christopher was the representation I needed! He is a brilliant attorney who listened to my concerns, understood how to address them, and represented me fantastically in court. Christopher's professionalism and expertise resulted in a positive outcome for me and I am so grateful. Not only is Christopher a brilliant attorney, he cares about his clients. He showed up for me when I needed help the most. I highly recommend Christopher and CBS Law to anyone who needs expert, reliable legal representation. You couldn't be in better hands!

I had a case in which I had my first offense and I was in a situation where it was unfamiliar territory. I was terrified of what was to happen next, but Chris was reassuring, kind, professional, and always answered any questions I had concerning my case. His confidence and approach really helped to receive a pathway to dismissal. I can’t thank him enough for being amazing - Thank you, Chris!!

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.

Mr. Bou Saeed did for me exactly what I had hoped for. An absolute professional and kind person. Very thorough never hesitated to explain things to me in a way I can understand them. I was worried about hiring him because of my financial situation. But I am so glad I did because he is worth every penny. From the beginning, his main concern was to help me. I am so thankful that our paths crossed and I was able to obtain his services when I needed them the most. Thank you Mr. Bou Saeed. I mean this in the best way but, I hope I never need your services again. If I do however I’m glad I found someone I can trust to get the job done!

Filled with anguish, my 85-year old mother and I sat in court overcome with hopelessness and helplessness. The month prior, I plead guilty to a heinous, violent crime that I didn’t commit. Up to that day, I had been defended by the same Public Defender.
As we sat in court, instead of my same Public Defender, a dignified man that embodied competence, charisma, and character approached us. With a compassionate smile, he extended his hand introducing himself as Christopher J. Bou Saeed. He stated that he would be representing me. Remarkably and immediately, Christopher’s demeanor assuaged our emotional torment; in fact, giving us a glimpse of hope.
In court he was amicable, articulate, and assertive. Christopher navigated the courtroom brilliantly, boldly, and nobly. Obviously, all those in the courtroom – employees, lawyers, and judge alike, admired him.
My first Public Defender spoke to me less than ten minutes in four months. After the hearing, I expected Christopher to leave immediately for his next case because of his full, hectic schedule. Instead, he tapped me on the elbow suggesting we speak outside the courtroom.
He sat with my mother and me for 30 minutes to talk. Most of the time, he graciously listened to our fears and concerns. Lastly, Christopher handed me his phone number, and has answered every call since on the first ring.
It goes without saying; Christopher J. Bou Saeed is the finest criminal attorney I’ve met.

Christopher is an excellent attorney. He is very professional and compassionate. Christopher represented my brother who is disabled and suffers from severe mental health issues and substance abuse problems. My brother was facing an arson charge (which was a felony "strike" carrying lifetime arsonist registration.) This was due to an incident that happened when my brother was experiencing a mental health crisis.
Christopher engaged with family members to obtain information about my brother’s mental health history, requested medical records, and requested for my brother to receive a mental health assessment in order to gather the information needed to better represent my brother.
Thanks to Christopher’s work, the judge took into consideration my brother’s mental health problems. Christopher was able to get the felony “Strike” dismissed. Instead, my brother agreed to a non-strike felony on the condition that he completes the ODR program. Upon the completion of the program, the felony charge can be reduced to a misdemeanor. Christopher advocated for my brother to be referred to a program in which he will have the opportunity to rehabilitate, receive mental health and housing services. My brother was fortunate to have Christopher as his attorney and our family is very thankful to him. Christopher is an excellent attorney because he genuinely cares about helping those in need.

My criminal case started with a bail set at 1.2 million dollars and as a third strike case. One year later when it was all said and done my bail had been reduced to a 110,000 and my criminal court case had been reduced to a misdemeanor battery. My attorney was very diligent in explaining the nature of my charges and the nature of my deffense. I would recommend him to any one in a criminal legal bind because he is intelligent and very professional. My son and I owe him alot.
Thnx Bou Saeed

Christopher Jude Bou Saeed is dedicated and very professional attorney. My son was charged with a felony and a strike. My son Nick had just turned 18 and made a few foolish choices. Choices that were not felony worthy. Chris took the time to know my son's background and every detail of his case. He was always great at replying to my questions and concerns. He did everything legally possible to obtain a lesser charge and give my son the best deal possible. I would recommend attorney Chris to anyone who wants a dedicated and passionate Attorney on their side.

I recently had the privilege of retaining Christopher as my lawyer. I say privilege because that's exactly how my experience working with Chis made me feel. He represented me in and DUI case from 2012 against the county of a Riverside Ca. Through His knowledge, tenacious work ethic and a clear and consistent open line of communication he exceeded my expectations of professional attorney representation. As his client I was always well informed of my cases status, my possible options and a realistic outlook on conceivable outcomes of my case. Most importantly he provided me with the controlling power of decision making while always expertly advising me of my best option. With the states evidence being extremely strong Chris was still able to get all charges dismissed on basis of a "Serna motion". If you are looking for an attorney who is professional and extremely dedicated to protecting the constitutional rights of his clients then Chris is hands down the best choice. I can honestly say that if ever I need legal counsel again there is no hesitation on who's name would stand out. If I had to sum up my entire experience into one word, WOW! Would be the most applicable.
