Made a painful situation so much easier. Affordable, knowledgable, communicative and truly wanted to help me. Highly recommend!

Timely and specific, he provided great advice.

Mr. Zelig is an amazing human being. I saw that there is one negative review on here ànd frankly I cannot see why. Evan represented one of my sons in a co-defendant case of false allegation that involved both of my sons. We have finally completed the most terrifying two year journey of our lives and I am certain we could not have done it without this man! From the moment I hit send on my desperate plea for help through Mr. Zelig's website, my son was to be in the best of hands. That plea went out in the late hours of a night in June two years ago. Evan called me only moments later and spoke at great length to me. He was by my son's side in court the following morning, before we could even raise a retainer. His commitment to his clients is certainly unparalleled. He is genuine, honest, kind, confident, caring and absolutely brilliant. His sense of humor helped us keep our sanity, as well as keep hope wildly alive in the hearts of the whole family. Our case went all the way through trial. I was amazed at the magnitude of work that went into our case. Further, all while building our defense, he was so attentive to and patient with this SUPER CRAZY MAMA, that I would be hard pressed to believe he had any other clients! Evan Zelig was worth more to us than what we ever could have paid him. To be honest, we will miss seeing him regularly! Because of this man's dedication and hard work both of my sons are free to begin rebuilding their lives. Evan, there are not enough words to thank you for giving my son his life back. You are "God's Gift" and I am glad he gave you to us. We will be forever grateful. May God richly bless you for your fairness and honesty and all that you do for those who cling frantically to you. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!

I went in for a consultation and being scared to death that a little housewife like myself was facing felony charges, he immediately put me at ease in regards to my situation (which wasn't a pretty one). He was super knowledgable and represented me at my court hearing. The charges were dropped and he seemed just as happy as I was. He even called me a few hours later to check in and make sure I was ok. Hopefully I will never need his services again, but if I did, he is definitely my go to man.

Recently, I retained Evan Zelig to represent me for my criminal case in Sonoma County. I interviewed 2 other lawyers, one of which seemed uninterested and lazily suggested pleaing out during the interview. The other tried to scare me and asked more than double Evans fee for retainer. From the very beginning, Evan displayed an intimate understanding of the judicial process as well as the local jurisdiction, including familiarity with D.A. etc. He displayed very high levels of discretion and integrity. After explaining my options and the process, he was completely supportive of following my goals for the direction and handling of my case. He did not try to steer my decisions nor did he want to be lazy and cop a plea. instead he fought hard for me and earned every penny. Evans level of communication was outstanding; he never let me wait more than a day and frequently responded immediately even well after hours. He keeps his word for EVERYTHING and follows through til the end, as many months after my case he still fought successfully for return of my property that had been kept as evidence. Evan seriously earned my trust and respect and grossly outperformed the other 4 attorneys I have had the misfortune of retaining. MOST IMPORTANTLY Mr. Zelig got me RESULTS! A lying off duty detective claimed I pointed a pistol at him and made threats, and further lied during his report. The dishonest police also put several thousand of my dollars into a dog bowl in an order to get their canine to hit on it, which they then seized - but NOPE Evan chewed up the case I walked away with no conviction and got my money back way before completion of case. I tried to retain Evan again for another case because he earned my trust and although that case was unfortunately outside of his area of practice, he referred me to a competent colleague. I would strongly recommend Mr. Zelig to friends or family in a heartbeat. THANK YOU EVAN!

I especially appreciated Evan's presentation of our options. I like that he was a prosecutor. Never underestimate your opponent …..even when you are totally innocent. Very courteous, up-front chap with the strong background I'm looking for in a local legal counsel.

Evan was great, every step of the way. He was in constant communication, was honest , knowledgable and very forth coming and available to answer any and all of my questions. He expunged a prior felony conviction for marijuana and had I know him when I was arrested I would have used him on the original case. Thanks Evan!

I would highly recommend Evan Zelig to handle any criminal matter. He represented my nephew on two serious criminal matters. I am actually a business attorney myself. Evan fought hard to achieve the best possible results on both legal matters. He was incredible about updating us and explaining all of the alternatives. It is clear to us that the Criminal judges, District Attorneys and everyone else respects Evan and listens to his recommendations. Evan inspired my nephew to turn his life around for the best. He did this by being a caring, aggressive, knowledgeable attorney and a terrific role model.

Evan Zelig is exactly what you want from a lawyer. Knowledgeable, honest, fair, hard working, committed, enthusiastic, and aggressive. He will stand up for his clients rights, and not be pushed around by prosecutors. Mr. Zelig was my savior, and he really helped me through a scary time.

I wanted to take a minute to thank and endorse Evan for his stellar work on my criminal case. He was completely honest upfront when I came to him. He diligently worked on my case and responded within minutes of my every request. He took the time also to educate me as to the process. He was able to negotiate me a killer deal with the DA. I highly recommend his services if you get yourself in a serious "felony" bind. My case was resolved with my complete satisfaction! I could not be more pleased. On top of that I consider him a friend. A great guy! He is a pit bull amongst lawyers....
