Ed made a terrifying experience normal by staying on top of my case, keeping me informed, and working damn hard to learn the ins and outs of my case. I had a criminal case im the city of sunnyvale and Ed succeeded in getting the best case sentence for me after a year of tough battle. Not only did he get results, but he was also very easy to work with for the entire experience. He is invested in his clients and the results show. I was very scared to be in the jusice system, as it was my first offence, but I can confidently say that Ed took care of me and i couldnt have felt as easy without his expert help. Thanks. Ed!

Ed is fantastic. He is exceptionally responsive, very helpful, a true expert in his area of law, and yet he maintains genuine humility. Not only would I refer a family member to Ed, but I have referred a family member to Ed.

Ed is a fantastic lawyer and my experience with him could not have been better. I had never before had any issue with "the law" but was cited for a DUI on Halloween (2012)..which completely caught me off guard. I had no idea what to do or how to handle it. Ed took care of everything and I could not have been happier picking him. I was in total shell shock and really lucked out finding him. I honestly don't know what I would have done without Ed! He was so patient and spent a lot of time talking to my mom and I about the process (I literally knew nothing about it). After hiring him he was really communicative and kept me informed as the process moved forward too. My case was pretty straight forward (although not completely...I definitely could not have navigated it on my own) but I talked to someone in my alcohol course who had a really complicated situation and he raved about Ed as well. Talking to people in my course also, Ed is very reasonably priced. He is very hard working and was always available to answer my questions as well. In addition, about a year later I had to provide my disposition for a job (background check..and needed it immediately!) and he went straight to the court and faxed it to my employer! It was a lifesaver. Obviously getting a DUI is a pretty unfortunate situation to be in and to make matters worse, dealing with the criminal court and DMV is very very complicated. I would never recommend going through it without a lawyer...I just don't know how I could have gotten through it without Ed. He's been doing this for a long time, knows everything and can make the process understandable and manageable, I highly recommend Ed as a lawyer! I normally would never write a review but Ed was so great during the whole process and then recently went so out of his way to get me this additional information (a year later!) I hope it helps other people who are in a similar situation pick Ed, you can't go wrong! I'll definitely be hiring him again in a year or so when I am eligible for it to be expunged.

I had a slightly unusual DUI. I had taken a prescription sleep medicine that caused me to get up out of bed in an altered state of consciousness and drive my car. I hired Mr. Samuels to represent me. He arranged on short notice for a qualified neurologist to testify, should we go to trial ( we did not) At pre-trial, Mr Samuels spoke to the prosecutor, and an agreement was reached where the DUI charges would be totally dropped. Saving me from having a DUI conviction on my record.

Very professional and totally knowledgeable, and successful in handling my case.

I needed an attorney to appear on a criminal case that I had on short notice. Although Edwin has a busy calendar, he fit me in and took care of my case perfectly. Professional and responsible! A life saver!
