Jonathan Kelman Is A Caring Criminal Defense Attorney Until Your Money Runs Out!
I was charged and then convicted of a sex crime. I paid a lot of money and went into deep debt to have Jonathan Kelman defend me in court. Jonathan Kelman communicated with the Special District Attorney and accepted a plea deal. A public defender could have done the same job and would have kept me out of the deep debt I am now in.
The only 2 things that saved me from serving years in prison were;
(1) I had a clean record.
(2) The police had very little evidence against me.
After the court case, Jonathan Kelman told me that I could go back to court and have my record expunged. I ended up going back to court by myself because I didn’t have anymore money to pay Jonathan Kelman. In the courtroom, the Special District Attorney told me and the judge that my case was Not Eligible for Expungement!
I would have received the same outcome and saved a lot of money if I would have had a public defender.
If you are charged with a sex crime and are looking for legal representation, I would suggest that you find a different attorney.
Bottom Line; Jonathan Kelman needs to go back to Law School and learn more about the laws.

I was a client of Johnathan Kelman in 2013 for a vehicular manslauter charge that would have given me a maximum exposure of 8-10 years in prison, thanks to Johnathan I served a total of 18 months which is truly a blessing giving the circumstances of my arrest. I know that he did his absolute best to humanize me in front of the Los Angeles District Attourney in order to return me to my family as soon as possible. I am very thankful and also highly recommend Mr.Kelman to anyone seeking legal representation.

I contacted John when I received my 2nd DUI offense. At first I was skeptical since the outcome for my prior offense was not so great. I had Michael Kraut for my 1st DUI and I received the full ride. 6 months of alcohol classes, 6 sessions of AA, interlock system, you name it. Naturally, I had a grim outlook of attorneys because of this experience. John is the complete opposite! He is very knowledgeable of what he is doing and kept me inform throughout the whole process! I couldn't be happier going with John. He reduced my 2nd DUI offense to a wet reckless with no classes at all! I just had to pay the fine and that's it. My license was suspended for 2 years, but that was inevitable on my part. However, I am happy with the outcome and the way John takes his job seriously and with great passion! If you are in a bind, I definitely recommend John.

I was going through a very stressful period in my life and I needed some legal help. Thankfully, a good friend recommended Jonathan and I was able to get my case dropped. I could not begin to tell you how thankful I was. Jon was super responsive, professional and always had my best interests in mind. I think the game plan and strategy we set up really helped. We were able to argue the facts in a manner where a rebuttal seemed irrelevant. Call Jon, it was the best decision I made.

Jonathan Kelman was just amazing in representation. He kept all his promises & followed through with full commitment. With out him I would be in jail or even prison. Without doubt I would recommend him & feel assure that you are in good hands. He was prompt with all his actions & duties as your lawyer & even went the extra mile building a relationship with my family to reassure all of us that I was going to be safe. Thanks once again for all that you did for me Jonathan, you were just miraculous!!!!

He got us through our case and kept us informed every step of the way. My boyfriend was facing 2 years in prison and he was able to get him released. He really seemed to care about the case and informed me of every possible thing that could have been needed for our court date.

Jonathan Kelman took the nightmare I was living in; which easily could have ruined my personal and professional life, and brought light into my reality by resolving my case. He was incredibly persistent and it paid off by having my original charges thrown out! He clearly was concerned and took the time to help me understand exactly what I could expect. He was dedicated, aggressive and very attentive. I cannot express my gratitude enough. Many heartfelt thanks to you from me and my family.

Jonathan returned my first phone call within ONE hour and carefully listened to my entire side of the story. Everytime he predicted what would happen next, he was right! He gave me constant updates at the progress of my case, and he calmed me down by having me focus on my family, my future and the person I really am. If you don't know what to do, call Jonathan Kelman. You need to hire a good attorney and you only get one chance to get it right. He can help you and he's a human being. You are not alone. Pick up the phone NOW before it's too late.
