Rick gave me excellent advice and took a ton of the stress out of my situation. Having worked in the courts for years, he knew the system in Santa Cruz quite well and played my hand perfectly. I was able to avoid jail time after being told by other attorneys that incarceration was inevitable. I was willing to take direction from Rick and let him fight for me. I'm very pleased with the results.

I hired Rick for a DUI expungement motion. After speaking with a few other attorneys, I decided on Rick because he was affordable and outlined a thorough game plan during the phone consultation. I was on a deadline, and Rick worked quickly to get things done as fast as possible. We were able to efficiently collaborate on documents through google drive. During the hearing of the motion, the judge was complimentary on the thoroughness of the paperwork and granted it without question. I plan on keeping his contact information handy in case I need his services again.

I hired Rick to defend my son in a drug case. He had come highly recommended from another lawyer for the successful work he had done in the public defenders office. Rick coordinated with my son directly without my intervention. His professionalism and determination resulted in a successful defense which resulted in all charges being dropped. I don't think there would be too many lawyers who would have pursued this approach which took over the course of much of the year. I trust in Rick's judgement and would highly recommend him in any case to vigorously pursue the best defense possible.

The case must have gone on for 10 days. It was the first time in my life I had a full-blown jury trial. Rick did his homework every night. He came up with angles I couldn't even imagine to get the case dismissed. I had never seen or known an attorney to have this much tenacity. When he advised me to refrain from testifying at all, it was a hard decision for me. I took Rick's advice and the jury deliberated just 10 minutes. NOT GUILTY on both charges!

Rick is one of the most genuine and trustworthy people that I know. He can be counted on to help you through any situation and will always put your interests first.

Rick is a top-notch attorney. He works tirelessly for his clients, knows the law, and is a fearsome advocate. He got cases dismissed due to his brilliant motion work. Rick is tough and he doesn't back down, and he is highly respected by judges and colleagues alike.

I've known Rick for several years and recommend him to friends who need help. He works hard for you and really cares. He has great lawyer instincts and a very professional demeanor in court.

Rick is smart, caring and skilled. You can't go wrong by hiring him.

I know Rick from when we both worked as public defenders. He established a great reputation as a staunch advocate and great negotiator. Years after he left his work as a public defender, he was always mentioned favorably. He's a great choice for a defense attorney.

Attorney Rick Gazipura helped me with my legal troubles to get out of jail, and stay out of jail from a DUI with many priors, to get back to my family and work. He saved me an incredible amount of money. (I know this very well, as I'm the one charged with many DUI'S/PRIORS) He somehow got me the lowest fines and restitution I've ever paid as part of my sentence, unbelievably low. I would recommend Rick Gazipura to anyone. His help was the beginning of a journey for me to a better and healthier life, and I owe part of that success story to this attorney. Thanks Rick!!

Rick is a talented and hardworking trial attorney who genuinely cares about his clients. He is very knowledgeable about the law and I enjoy consulting with him on legal issues.

Wonderful attorney and human being. Always outworking the opposing side and will not stop until the goal has been accomplished. In constant communication with clients, keeping them informed of the latest developments on their cases. I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Gazipura for about five years and would trust him representing any of my family members if they were ever accused of a crime.
