Mr. Dolenga worked with us on our trust and estate plan. He was very efficient and explained rather daunting legal aspects using the simple-to-understand language. He also expanded on the aspects of our estate planning we haven't even considered. I highly recommend him.

Wonderful quick response.......sorry the first survey didn't let me check all 5 stars. Amazing excellent attorney Have a good day

My wife and I just finished our Trust, Estate Plan, etc with Jim Dolenga. I don't typically take time to write Google reviews, but in this case I felt compelled given finding a good lawyer can be a challenging task. I can't recommend Jim enough. He simplified an incredibly complicated process and guided us through each stage of the various documents and the important decisions required with each. I sleep better at night knowing the Trust is finalized and that if we ever need Jim again he's an email or phone call away. If you're looking for a legal team to handle your estate planning portfolio I highly recommend the Law Office of James Dolenga.

We worked with Mr. Dolenga on our trust and estate plan. He is accurate and efficient, and the entire process was easier than expected.

I was facing charges for domestic violence and possession of ecstasy. My mother and I did some research online and I am so happy that we found the Law Offices of David Chesley. He marshaled the evidence in my favor and dealt with the detective and prosecutor. I am impressed by his zealous advocacy for his clients. David is by far the best lawyer for criminal defense and the most caring human being I’ve ever encountered in the legal field.

From the first phone call about my matter, David and his team have been excellent. I have nothing but respect for and confidence in his law firm. I still remember how grateful I was to David and his staff, and my lawyer friend who recommended them, when I got that yellow piece of paper that had DISMISSED at the top. He’s one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Torrance. I feel he was very understanding and patient and took time to answer all of my questions. Not only was my case handled successfully from a legal perspective, but I felt like I had a real friend next to me during the whole process. He has the expertise and is willing to do the work it takes to get you the results you need in the courtroom. I could not have asked for a better experience. Excellent job in dealing with my drunk driving charge and helping to get my driver’s license back. I feel good about hiring the Law Offices of David Chesley and I am happy now that my job as a commercial driver is safe and secure. I would recommend him to anyone.

I'm extremely appreciative of what the Law Offices of David Chesley did for me. I hope that someone looking for a Torrance criminal attorney with experience reads this review and goes to meet with David and his team. At a time where I almost had my life taken from me, David, who has a great reputation in Court, was there to do the work on my legal matter. In my meetings with David, he was highly intelligent and informative. The honest communication David engages in with his clients really helps prevent misunderstandings and keeps the case moving forward. He applied his expertise in dealing with the police officer in court, and prevented any false accusations from happening, thereby protecting my future. With his help, the charges were dropped, and I was able to avoid paying fines and fees. As I said, Mr. Chesley has a great relationship with his peers and is well respected in the court room. I also feel he is one of the most patient, understanding, and passionate lawyers I have ever met. Highly recommend!

David no words in the world can express how thankful I am to have you on my criminal case in Torrance Courthouse. When I was arrested, my girlfriend called Mr. Chesley and he came out to the jail right away. In my experience, he has been very responsive and professional and I am excited to report the case is scheduled to be dismissed at the next hearing. Thank you, David. Would highly recommend the Law Offices of David Chesley.

David Chesley did an excellent job assisting me and a family member. They took the case in Torrance Court and now my family member and I are out of jail free in just a couple of days thanks to you and to everyone at the law firm. Mr. Chesley was honest and straightforward. He is knowledgeable about the law and was able to achieve quick results and judgment from court without causing me to have too many lost days from work. I highly recommend them!

Mr. Chesley and his staff are not only incredibly good at what they do, they are also kind, respectful and patient. I leave this review out of gratitude for David's excellent job in achieving the best possible outcome: a baseless felony charge and two criminal accusation resolved with ease. Great customer service and overall experience! Highly recommended!

From the first phone call on the date I was arrested with felony charges, the legal team at the Law Offices of Chesley did a phenomenal job with my case. The entire staff is knowledgeable and always willing to answer as many questions regarding your matter as needed to ensure that you are accurately informed. The work and the outcome from this Torrance criminal defense attorney were better than we could have imagined- way better. David provided an experience that was seamless on my end although I know he has been working hard behind the scenes, especially given the unforeseen circumstances that 2020 has thrown our way. Whenever I would "overthink" or "worry" too much about my situation they were very patient and understanding and would help me feel better. Mr. Chesley and the law firm staff eased my mind like I had nothing to worry about. Gave us options and made sure he did what was best for us based on his expertise in the court room. I even got the results I wanted, and I have to admit their reputation with the judicial officer seemed to provide an added benefit. My case was dismissed a month in advance! Excellent outcome for my felony charges from this law firm. Attorney David Chesley is a great man with knowledge, experience, and a passion for criminal law who I greatly admire and respect. Highly recommend him.

The whole legal team of Torrance defense attorneys at the Chesley law firm has been fulfilled our court needs. I have read that choosing an ex-prosecutor as your attorney has no effect. I can tell it surely did have an effect in my cri min al case. Answered all my questions and the team did excellent work before the Judge to avoid a conviction. David Chesley made me feel secure in a very stressful situation. Professional to me while operating at the highest level of ethical standards. They did all that they could to secure a victory which was a tough situation in my case making the best out of a hopeless and very time-constrained situation. When I was initially charged, I felt stressed, but with their level of understanding and communication, my mind was put at ease. Worth every penny and much more! Seeing him in action at trial was a special sight to behold. I will forever refer the Law Office of David Chesley to everyone facing felony charges in Torrance or for anyone I know arrested for a misdemeanor here. Thanks for your highly professional work.
