I contacted Matthew in regards to a few legal issues I am dealing with. When he contacted me not only did he walk me through the best courses of action with a step by step plan, he was proactive in researching the best course of action to resolve my issues. To take it one step further, I presented him with additional requests outside of his field and he surprisingly had already contacted additional counsel to provide me with the answers I was looking for. This was to date, the best experience I have had with an attorney and have no reservation recommending him.

Mr Ernenwein is hands down the best criminal defense lawyer you can have. My son and I were devastated with what we had to face and from day one he took control, calmed us down and took a terrible situation and turned the entire outcome around. The respect from his many years of experience and integrity in his community is for certain why we are whole again today. I can't say enough about how grateful we are and how forntuate we were that someone we trusted recommended him to us. Best decision of our lives. Thank you Robert!

I am so lucky to have been referred to the office of McGregor & Ernenwein. Mr. Rinaldi took over my case and shocked me with the outcome! I went into court thinking that my two felonies were dismissed and I was going to be charged with a misdemeanor, because I did what was asked of me from the court: community labor and drug classes, which involved staying clean and making sure I did not get in any more trouble. When Matthew Rinaldi met me in court that day, he told me he was going to try and get my misdemeanor dismissed, leaving me with a clean record! He came through, and I could not be more ecstatic with the work my attorneys put into my case. They made it possible for a true second chance. Thank you Mr. Rinaldi!

Character, class, calculated, charm, and charisma are words that describe Robert. My case was not clean-cut and it didn’t begin as most might. Robert picked up where another lawyer had failed me (after a preliminary hearing), which is not an ideal place to pick-up a case from a defense perspective (something I’ve learned by going through the process, but it should be noted that it was something that Robert was comfortable with). Suffice it to say that during the process of the transition of my case, I had the opportunity to interview approximately 20 different lawyers in Los Angeles County, ranging from fear driven future prospects to over confident, over extending, and over promising sales pitches. But something was different from the first time I spoke with Robert, there was a quiet confidence and experienced demeanor that was quite unique from the others I had interviewed. While Robert will never promise an outcome, he has an interesting insight and perspective on the system, and an extensive network of connections inside the district attorney offices in Los Angeles County. I felt after the intense amount of searching for someone to put my life in the hands of; Robert was the guy. From the onset of Roberts’s involvement, the approach changed dramatically. In my case; I was most interested in mitigation to avoid going to trial. There are no text books on this matter, so having a lawyer that has both a long line of experience, as well as professional relationships inside the district attorney’s office is a huge plus. After reviewing who I am both personally and professionally, and the incident at length, Robert came up with a strategy to approach the DA from. I can say with honesty that at first I wasn’t 100% comfortable with the strategy that he presented, but I’m also smart enough to know what I don’t know (and that is the legal system). So I cast aside my initial reservations in regards to the plan, knowing that from the onset I had enough confidence to put my life in the hands of Robert, so we decided to proceed with his proposed plan. The process of scheduling court dates and appearances took longer than I had hoped, but results are really the only thing that matters, so hindsight 20/20 the timeline isn’t something that really matters (after all, we are dealing with the government, and unfortunately they don’t always work at the pace one would hope). One other thing to note; Robert is not a lawyer that will overextend himself in regards to having non-substantive phone conversations, expect conversations to be adequately timed to work through the facts and matters of the case and not a client’s feelings. He is results driven and a very busy guy, which in the beginning took some getting used to, as I wanted weekly updates (if not daily), but looking back, his systematic approach is a very efficient way to run a business. It should not be confused with his absolute focus on individual cases. I can also say that over the period of time my case was active (5 months), Robert became a true friend. I will conclude by saying that the outcome was better than I could have hoped for. Robert was able to get both (2) pending charges against me dropped (after a preliminary hearing) and reduced to a simple misdemeanor, in which if I complete requirements from the court the event in its entirety will be completely erased from my record by enrolling me in a pre-trial diversion program. I cannot thank Robert enough for his efforts, knowledge, and execution in my case. He is truly a life saver and a man I’ll never forget in my life. He gave me a second chance.

I highly recommend the offices of McGregor & Ernenwein for your legal matters. I was refereed by two colleagues who have also used their services and I was extremely pleased with the service that i received. Matt Rinaldi handled my case and I was very confident in his ability to get the result I wanted. He is extremely thorough in his approach, went above and beyond and is ready, willing and very able to go to bat for his clients. Matt and the offices of McGregor and Ernenwein were very responsive in all matters and always available via email or on their cell phones. I would recommend this law office above any other, having done a lot of research, and would most definitely use their services in the future, should i need to. Because of the actions of my lawyer my case was completely dismissed which was a much better result that I could have ever wished for.

On behalf of my wife and myself. I'd like to thank Mr. Robert Ernenwein and Matthew Rinaldi for their excellent work, their dedication to our case and the effort they provided us. I'd also like to thank the staff at McGregor & Ernenwein, LLP. We had a criminal case and we are very fortunate to have been referred to McGregor & Ernenwein. From the moment we met Mr. Ernenwein, my wife and I both had a good feeling about him. He was professional, direct and very clear on what he could do for us. He never promised us what the outcome would be. He was very confident and assured us that he would do his best to get us a favorable decision. We were kept well informed throughout the process of all court proceedings and always had a line of communication open for us if we had any questions or concerns. Our case was recently resolved after several court appearances and conferencing with the District Attorney's Office. We were blessed to get a case dismissal and my wife and I are extremely grateful to Mr. Ernenwein and all of the staff. Thanks to them we can move on with our lives in a positive direction. We would highly recommend McGregor & Ernenwein, LLP. to anyone who needs quality legal representation.

Robert Ernenwein is a JOY to have as your lawyer! Under his guidance, I received the best possible outcome in my case. I even enjoyed paying him, which is saying a lot.!! He made me a great deal, drew up a fantastic gameplan all the way through the results and probationary period, and represented me everytime in court. I never needed to show up because he was so professional and completely respected. Robert asks you to call him by his first name, and is a personable and friendly guy who talks sports/current events as much as the law. He seems to really like you as a person, so this whole experience is made as easy and less stressfull as possible. He is a very down-to-earth guy with no attitude or arrogance, as one might expect from a lawyer of his caliber and experience. I highly recommend Robert Ernenwein for you to hire when you need a lawer. His office will treat you right with fantastic service, and a comfortable atmosphere in central torrance, close to the courthouse. Thanks Robert and staff! Tony Jones

Matthew Rinaldi represented me for a recent DUI case and, against difficult circumstances, he got it reduced to a Reckless Driving. Throughout this entire year he has been incredibly professional, responsive and flexible depending on what I needed at the time whether it be legal advice, court representation or generally useful advice to save time and money. On the more personal side - Matt is a very friendly and trustworthy guy. I enjoyed all of my interactions with him and felt very much at ease throughout this whole ordeal knowing he was representing me. Highly recommend anyone considering hiring him to give him a visit/call and see what I mean!

Robert Ernenwein, Esq. is more than a phenomenal attorney with vast knowledge of the minute intricacies of the law and unmatched experience, he is a person that cares deeply about improving people's lives as evidenced by his empathy, expertise, professionalism and his commitment to his clients. Everyone in my family including myself would refer Mr. Ernenwein for any and all criminal matters. My Father is a financial attorney and has referred Mr. Ernenwein to his clients and my Uncle carries around his business card in the off chance he might run into somebody that needs an attorney. Mr. Ernenwein's services have had a profoundly positive impact on my life and I am very fortunate to have had him in my corner.

I recently hired The Law Offices of McGregor and Ernenwein and couldn't be more happy with the representation I received. My case took almost a year and Mr. Robert Ernenwein and his team were very successful in procuring an outcome that exceeded my expectations. The professionalism that was displayed on my behalf made a very stressful situation bearable as Mr. Ernenwein and his teams expertise were proven time and time again. I am glad to have this behind me, and am so grateful that I had Robert and his team on my side.

I was privileged to have Matt Rinaldi work on my case and I highly recommend him. He is very knowledgeable and effective. Most importantly, you can trust him. He will advise you honestly on all your options, what's best for your case and will not pressure you. He is patient and will answer all your questions. He is extremely intelligent, skilled, and an incredible strategist. He is very passionate about his work and truly cares about his clients. Matt also has excellent peoples skills and a great rapport within the legal community which is important so the prosecution will consider offering a favorable plea deal. He got a great deal for me so I could avoid jail and avoid going to trial. He got the most severe charge dismissed and greatly reduced the court fees and community service hours also! When I was charged, I felt like I was under attack by the PD, prosecution, and city. With Matt Rinaldi I finally felt confident again having such a skilled and caring attorney on my side working for me.
