Best criminal defense attorney in the Bay Area hands down! Really needed someone who was an experienced criminal attorney in San Francisco to help me with my case. Jonah is smart, a fighter, and had my back the whole time. No criminal trial for us because Jonah got my case dismissed, YES DISMISSED! Jonah rejected jail time offers and believed in me. He's a true lifesaver that was really looking out for my future. He handles all kinds of cases from DUI, drugs, guns, DV, and serious crimes like murder, sex crimes, and three strikes cases. Highly recommend Jonah, best attorney!

I cannot say enough good things about Jonah. He is an outstanding lawyer. Without going into detail I can say that I've recommended him to others for a range of issues and he has a 100% batting average with all of them. He's attentive, compassionate, open communicator, professional and highly dedicated to helping good people deal with bad situations. If you're looking for representation, I highly recommend the Law Offices of Jonah Chew. He's the best defense lawyer you can get and an amazing human being.

A great lawyer, an even greater human being. Jonah Chew was by my side every step of my ordeal. He was understanding and professional. His 20 years being a lawyer shines in the courtroom. His expertise and ability to navigate the courts is unmatched. I came out of my ordeal with the court system, feeling completely safe, and informed the whole way. Jonah Chew is tough when defending you as a client. He will make sure your rights are protected, and negotiate on your behalf. If you choose to retain this lawyer, you will not be dissapointed. Jonah was compassionate every step of the way and made me feel at ease. I highly recommend this lawyer. Please give him a try now, or you are missing out on proper representation! Thank Jonah for having my back and helping me during a dark time in my life! God bless you!

Was in dire need of a lawyer for my case so I contacted the law offices of Jonah Chew. Without going into too much detail, I can say that Jonah displayed a level of unparalleled professionalism throughout this long, tiring ordeal. Mr Chew was non-judgmental but also personable and made me feel like I could reach out to him whatever time of day. Despite his heavy caseload he made sure to take the time to make sure whatever needs or questions I had at the time were addressed and always feeling re-assured and in good hands. His communication, follow-ups, and depth of knowledge was simply amazing. Mr Chew is also extremely experienced with the court system and was able to leverage his rapport with the prosecutors, DAs, and judges to ensure I was getting the best outcome. It is unclear whether a lawyer without prior experience working in these specific court systems could've yielded a better outcome. I think the case could've easily gone south had I not gone through this ordeal with Mr Chew. I honestly had not expected this level of service given the pricing. Mr Chew went above and beyond his call of duty. I am extremely releived to have done the research when searching for representation. It does make a difference. Thank you Mr Chew!

My cousin was falsely accused of a crime. Prior to this, she has never been in trouble with the law and maintained a clean record. Jonah was referred to her to handle this matter. He is able to make you feel at ease from the first time meeting each other. No matter how stressful the situation was he always had a calm demeanor. Jonah was consistent and punctual with his replies for my cousin's questions and concerns. He even threw in some jokes to lighten up the mood in during the court hearings. Make no mistake, Jonah takes action in the courtroom and fights for his client. He took care of my cousin and made sure she felt protected. Shared his knowledge and made sure she understood everything that was going on as the case proceeded. I am happy to say that his hard work and dedication to my cousin's case led to its eventual dismissal. I highly recommend him as a lawyer, he's your guy!

My brother had gotten into trouble under the influence 4 years back, and his case only recently got closed. Jonah was recommended to me by a friend of mines who also leveraged his expertise. Jonah was very understanding and made sure that we understood process and why things had to happen. As we began the process, he made sure to include him for any court appearances, and also strategized with him on a weekly basis to make sure they made the best case in court. My brother's case was quite unique as it soon became the oldest active case in Redwood City, making Jonah show up to court about 50-60 times total. He is actively provided updates and professional advice so that we could make the best decisions. I would not go with anyone else in the bay area, but Jonah, as I have seen his commitment to his clients, even his family. I hold Jonah to a very high regard, as he treated us like family.

Jonah is a life saver. My mother and I were referred to Jonah by an attorney in Oakland. This attorney promised us that we would be in "good hands". From then on, that is exactly what has occurred. As this was my first offense, I was very honest about my lack of knowledge of the justice system and court procedures. He was with me every step of the way with my numerous questions and worries. He made us feel as comfortable as possible (I was super nervous about my future). We felt like we can put our full trust in him, and fortunately, I am very glad we did. He was able to reduce my felony into a misdemeanor with just a few days of community service, and no restitution. In San Mateo County! Like magic. He is a very well respected attorney, and well known in the courts. My mother and I are thankful for you Jonah Chew! you are Family to us.

He represented me and a fammily memeber my family memember Referred me to him. He helpedme on a case with numerous felonies charged. Conviction of any of the charges would have had devastating consequences. After six months of work, he was able to work out a very satisfactorily misdemeanor deal"

"He got my felony dismissed and all my money back".

I worked with Jonah Chew on two different occasions and highly recommend him as an attorney. Jonah was referred by one of my friends who worked in the DA office, which means a lot. He is well respected by by the judges and other attorneys. On both occasions things did not look good, and it was extremely stressful. Jonah got both cases dismissed. That was an impossible outcome. Jonah is the best defensive attorney I have ever worked with.

I cannot recommend Jonah enough to those who are seeking legal counsel. He's extremely professional, knows everything in and out, and keeps it super candid/ real ensuring you get the best guidance. Jonah goes the extra mile and makes the situation feel less grim and his clients super comfortable.

I am so glad that Jonah was referred to me! I am in the middle of a huge career change. My background check came back saying I had a warrant out for my arrest for a failure to appear. I was under the impression that I had taken all necessary requirements to take care of a traffic citation. I just about had a heart attack and had no idea what to do. I called several attorneys who were in a hurry and told me their was nothing that could be done. I called Jonah and was able to get in contact with him immediately. He listened to my situation with out rushing me like most attorneys. Jonah's response back to me gave me some ease and confidence that he knew how to help me. I am a huge worry wart, so providing me with some ease is not easy. Jonah was extremely sensitive and understanding to my concerns. He continued to keep in contact with me through out the entire process, keeping me well informed. We appeared in court and Jonah was able to get the warrant removed and schedule a court date, preventing me from going to jail. I presented all proof and evidence to Jonah. He appeared in court with out needing me present and was able to have my case dismissed. A warrant on my record and being charged for failure to appear could have enabled me to pursuit a career change. Jonah saved me! Thank You Jonah Chew!
