Attorney Gressley wins! . Attorney Gressley's helped me with my case.I had a DUI case plus two other charges,Gressley got a dismissal in my whole case. Any criminal charge anywhere in the state... call Attorney Lara Gressley.

I am a medical professional that was charged with some very serious charges after being a good Samaritan in public. The Riverside Police Department greatly exaggerated the charges and put me in a very precarious position with regards to my occupation and licensing. I was looking at possibly of losing the ability to work in the profession that I had strived so hard to be successful at. Lara Gressley was recommended to me by one of our business advisors just by chance, but I can't even begin to enumerate the reasons that I am thankful to have had her working on my case. From the very beginning, Lara was extremely compassionate, understanding and empathetic to my situation. It became clear within minutes of meeting her and her partners that she was the right attorney to handle my case. She was able to negotiate such a reduction in my charges that no serious consequences occurred and my professional licensing was not affected. During the course of the case, there were many times that Lara's reputation was validated by people throughout the court system. From multiple unsolicited court staff and clerks telling me on many occasions that I had hired the "best attorney in Riverside" to even the DA himself coming up to me and stating that he had no desire to prosecute this case if it would mean going up against Lara. I felt confident and comfortable with her from the very beginning, and these feelings only grew stronger as the case progressed. I am hoping that I will never again have to require her services as an attorney. But if that day ever happens again, I would hire Lara Gressley again in a heartbeat! She is an extremely intelligent and competent litigator and I would give her the highest recommendation possible to any future potential client who is in need of legal representation.

I am a medical professional who received a DUI in Riverside County. Lara Gressley was recommended from a work colleague who used her in a similar situation. Lara was very efficient and punctual with legal issues. With my very busy work schedule, Lara was patient and continually keeping me updated with current legal standings. There was not a single day where I didn't know what was going on with my case. Lara takes her profession and others very seriously, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an all angle attack to their specific case. Through legal tactics and 12 years of experience with legal court officials, the District Attorney offered me reckless driving and without hesitation I settled. Thank you again Lara!

There has been no other criminal lawyer in the last couple of years that I have been more impressed with than Lara Greesley. If I ever got into trouble I would have no problem hiring Lara to represent me. I don't think there is a better endorsement than I can give as a fellow criminal lawyer. I have recently hired her to write a couple of motions for me. I have never hired another attorney to write a criminal motion for me in the 17 1/2 years of practice but in this particular case I needed a second opinion and she delivered excellent work. I know that she has ghost written a number of motions for several other attorneys but I wanted to take this moment, unlike the other attorneys, to acknowledge her contribution. I have had only one law partner, my wife, in the 17 1/2 years of practice even though others have asked to me. However, she would be the only other person in California that I would consider to have as my law partner. I have witnessed her in court, hired her to perform work on behalf of my clients, would hire her if I got into trouble and she has a standing offer to be my law partner anytime she wants to stop driving to Riverside. There isn't anything left to say here.

My interaction with Lara at the Bartell firm spanned about a year. It was immediately evident that she was dedicated to helping me; from the initial consultation, and every conversation throughout. I greatly appreciated her patience and level of detail in explaining the legal intricacies. Her expertise in DUI defenses gave me confidence, since there were many unknown variables. Uncertainty generates fear, and having her as my legal representation gave me hope. She won my appeal for a seal and destroy of a wrongful arrest. I would recommend her services to anyone involved in a DUI related case.

Atty Lara Gressley is a very competent and compassionate lawyer She was able to dismiss a complicated stolen identity case against our Son who was wrongfully accused and had a warrant of arrest due to a felon's unlawful use of our Son's driver's license Our Son suffered minimal trauma going thru the hearings because of Atty Gressley's expertise in legal facts and processed We are most grateful to Atty Gressley and highly recommend her and Atty Don Bartell's Law Office

I cannot speak highly enough regarding the service that I received from Lara Gressley. Her knowledge of the law regarding my case left me feeling secure. Her support before, during and after my trial, though I had nothing to compare it to, helped me get through one of the worse experiences of my life. Her explanations for procedure prepared me psychologically and mentally each day of the trial. Unfortunately I lost at trial. Lara wrote the motion for appeal. I won the appeal! Well actually Lara won the appeal. I highly recommend Lara Gressley for her keen knowledge of the law, her personal interaction and her caring for and about her clients.

From the beginning, Lara Gressley expressed an absolutely genuine concern for me and my appeal. Her consistently humane attention to my plight, as well as to the professionalism necessary to handle my case, I have to believe is both unique and rare. I was kept aware every step of the way and my input and opinions were also valued. Lara's successful argument for my appeal is undoubtedly due to her expertise, skill, and knowledge of the law. She is a lawyer of the highest quality.
