I can't say enough good things about Louisa Pensanti and her team this is my second time using Louisa Pensanti, and she is truly a force to be reckoned with on both defense and plaintiff representation. When she is in the courtroom, she is in her FLOW state, and everything she does is very well calculated and delivered with precision with such a natural ease like a well-conducted symphony orchestra, but for your defense in the courtroom and the best sounding symphony you've ever heard! I am a business professional who made some mistakes in my early 20s, and now I am older into my 30s had some minor civil issues and Louisa is my go to person for a reason, she's worth every penny. Whatever it costs it's worth it for the piece of mind you will get knowing you have a VETERAN of the courtroom on your team. She's more than a lawyer; she cares about her clients, and it shows in her passion for each case. Never seen anything like her and I know what the options are out there, and she is like hiring special forces. There's a lot of gimmicky attorneys out there on TV and the internet, but this review comes from the heart. Louisa always finds the Achilles heel in every situation. She truly takes on each case as if it was happening to her or a member of her family. A day in court with Louisa as your council is not just another day at the office, each and every day you have Louisa she will bring the best defense money and gold can buy. Thank you, Louisa Pensanti and Associates.

On the worst day of my life I was cleaning my gun when it went off accidentally and mortally wounded a 12-year-old family friend who was walking by in the kitchen. He was shot in the left arm and chest. I panicked in fear and ran out of the house. I learned the police were looking for me and that I was charged with 1st Degree Murder. I was facing life in prison. Attorney Louisa Pensanti drove to my location, picked me up in her car and took me to detectives for a voluntary turn in. I could not afford both an attorney and bail so I stayed in San Bernadino County jail for 8 months awaiting trial. At trial, Attorney Louisa Pensanti convinced the jury that it was an accident and I was only found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. I was given credit for time served and then released. I authored this when I heard that someone had written a defamatory review and realized that I had perhaps been negIigent in not posting a review myself. I learned a great deal about this womans character as she plead my case to a jury of my peers with my entire future at stake. She has an abundance of moral courage and a strong belief in humanity and forgiveness. Obviously the jurors agreed with and were greatly moved by her. I am forever grateful.

I took a troubled teen into my home and was charged with 15 counts of child molestation. I was facing life the way that I was charged. It was risky and nerve wracking but I took it to trial. I was and am innocent. A jury agreed. I went to trial with Louisa Pensanti was found not guilty. She's a class act.

I was on probation in Victorville CA when my boyfriend -who was on on parole - and his friends began dealing drugs. I ended up being arrested with them on drug charges and possession of stolen property and drug charges. Fourteen people were arrested all together and the story was on the news and front page in the paper. In court a "package deal" was offered for all 14 of us but we all had to agree to what was offered and it required that my probation be violated and that I go to prison for 6 years. Ms Pensanti said that she would not send a mother of 3 children to prison and told me not to be afraid. There were at least 20 people in court that day and all of them were angry at her for ruining their deal. One of the attorneys was so mad he was yelling at her in the courtroom. About 60 days later I plead to the Civil Narcotics Offenders Program which sent me to rehab for 6 months and even reversed the felony conviction that I was on probation for when Ms Pensanti figured out it was an illegal sentence. When we were in court the judge didn't know how to take the plea and they had to call another judge in another city to figure it out. All they were used to doing was sending people to prison. I am now reunited with my 3 children, in recovery and I have no record. Thanks Louisa.

We live in Compton and were horrified to learn that our 26 - year - old son had sex with a 13 - year - old girl while they were both under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Besides being impaired he did not know the girls' age, as she looked and acted really mature. To make things worse he admitted what he had done to detectives. The District Attorney wanted to send him to prison 6 years. They were very serious, stubborn and intent on that. Intead Ms Pensanti arranged for a 90 day evaluation where he was sent to a prison to determine whether he was worthy of probation. Their eventual recommendation was for a state prison term. We knew that our son's actions were wreckless and criminal but felt strongly that prison would ruin his future. Attorney Pensanti and her team then brought in an expert who, along with her convincing argument caused the judge to grant probation. With their help we got our son home. We are a close Latin American family. We strongly recommend her.

When my husband was arrested and charged with poss/sales of crystal meth and felon with a loaded gun, two prior prison terms , 2 strikes and 11 prior guns and drug charges under his belt things looked really bad. Two lawyers I had hired tried to get a bail reduction but failed miserably. I was desperate. Then I talked with Louisa Pensanti. She told me of a plan of action that she would work to get him a bail reduction. We went to court 2 days later and Ms Pensanti worked her plan and got him a bail reduction. We bailed him out, this was all before we had even paid a down payment.. The DA wanted my husband to get 14 years in prison and a 3rd strike . So when my husband and myself met Ms .Pensanti we arranged a payment plan. She told my husband he was in big trouble and he needed a miracle to get out of this one. but she said she might be able to make one happen.She laid out her new plan of action .She told us it was a long shot but she believed she could get his case reduced down to 2yrs with half. I told my husband we needed her that those other lawyers said you would end up with another strike and no less than 10 years at80%.For the months that followed we followed Ms. Pensanti from court to court until the DA offered a plea bargin for 2 yrs with half . we accepted it. Ms Pensanti did the best job possible. we were so happy with her., she was wonderful. thank you

My boyfriend was facing life in prison and Ms. Pensanti got him home on probation! She convinced the D.A. about the real facts. We think everyone in her law office is helpful too.

Ms. Pensanti and her firm, was really knowledgable with the case. Any questions we had her staff was there to answer. She has given me a new respect for the legal field.
