5 stars is not enough. Mr. Mehas and Ms. Santo are the A team of attorneys. They are comprehensive, strategic, one step ahead, and a powerful team! When you hire the Santo Mehas firm to manage your case, you have hired a team of legal advocates who care, who will keep you informed, who will fight for you, and be the voice you need to represent you. Without the help of the entire firm, I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had. They took on an extremely difficult case and encountered issues that no one expected and few had ever seen. They worked tirelessly to make sure that the truth was told and presented it perfectly. They stood by every one of my requests and guided me through the entire lengthy process. Though there were challenges, they strategically and diligently with compassion met them head on and never faltered. Their expertise and thoroughness provided us the pathway we needed to rise to victory. I am proud to be a client and will continue to retain them for all legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands.

I was going through a divorce and had been working with another lawyer for about 6 months. Needless to say, they were not helping progress my case, they were charging me out the wazoo and there seemed to be no end in sight, so I started to look for another lawyer. I found Amanda Kazzi by looking on Google for lawyers that had good reviews and she did not disappoint. Her flat rate was a breath of fresh air and her personalized approach to my case is what got me through it with the best possible outcome. Going through a divorce is stressful enough. Go with a lawyer you can trust. Amanda Kazzi is that person.

Male, mid 30's, and to risk sounding cliche, "I do not normally write reviews". However, in this circumstance, I find myself obligated to do so in as honest and sincere a way as possible as a means to be a service. The service I would hope to provide is to guide others who may have found themselves on the wrong side of the system and in a "nightmare scenario" so as to direct them the correct way.
Last summer, I found myself in a predicament in which I was involved in an incident at a hotel which landed me charges with the State of Maryland. Again, in my 30s, I have always strove to do the right thing; I served in the Army and spent years in a civil service job with no prior record. However, as we too often do for ourselves, I may have been caught up in the perspective of it never happening to myself. Several bad choices and a mess later and I was struggling to figure out how to save my career while navigate the stressors and situation I had found myself in. Being from out of state and a couple thousand dollars bail later, I was finally home and frantically searching for legal representation without any clue as to how to proceed with my situation.
Through the process, from the beginning to the end, Frank honestly and sincerely guided and articulated how the legal case would go. Coming from an experienced background, I found in conclusion of my case that everything he had stated in his guidance and truthfulness in regards to how to proceed had come true. The results of my case were better than could have been expected; not only was I found not guilty, I was acquitted of the charges.

Frank and Jennifer were absolutely amazing. They answered every question I had and eased my anxiety. If it weren't for them, I do not know what I would have done. Very professional. I would recommend Frank Benvenuto, PA to everyone and anyone.

I got pulled over for a DUI and had forgotten that I left my loaded firearm in the car. I realized I was in serious trouble and looking at substantial prison time. I called the Law Offices of Frank Benvenuto and he and his assistant Jennifer went to work on my case. Frank is the best lawyer. He walked me out of court with no conviction! He was even able to save my driving privilege. If you are in Ocean City or in the surrounding area. YOU want this GUY! He gets the job done. He was accessible, took my calls and got me a great outcome! Very appreciative of this man and his team.

I 100% recommend Julie and Ethan to anyone looking for good experienced attorneys! Julie recently represented me in a DV case. She was very patient and understanding. She stood up for me when I couldn’t stand up for myself. During court she held my hand the entire time. You can just tell she truly cares about her clients and sees this as way more than just a career. Even now that the DV case is done, she still checks on me to make sure I am OK! I am so thankful for her and Ethan! Words cannot describe how amazing both of them are!

Ethan and his team helped me through a difficult time for my family. He handled my case with emotional sensitivity and professionalism. It was amazing to work with a fellow member of the LGBT community, who was familiar with the intricacies of queer families. It made me feel affirmed and supported even while we navigated some tricky waters together. I would recommend him to and trust him with everyone I love.

I recently obtained counsel from David Haskett at this firm. I have to say, I would recommend him highly. He helped me thru a difficult experience and did a fantastic job for me and with wonderful results. He was compassionate, but honest with his advice and listened to me and my needs. I really appreciated that. If you need a great attorney, please call David Haskett.

I had a very serious issue with the courts and I needed someone who could get in front of a judge immediately and have an order ammendee as I didn’t have a case number yet it was very hard to get information and u also had very little resources. Kelly was compassionate kind and thorough and did what he could for me to get the matter resolved in my favor expeditiously. He listens very well and it is clear that he really cares about his clients. Once I talked with him I felt much more calm and assured and when we went to court things went as well as I believe they possibly could have. I also have severe ADHD and was very stressed when I was speaking with him and he was very kind and understanding with like my quirks and interruptions while being able to keep my on point and related the information I needed effectively to me in that state. I cannot recommend Kelly Monaghan enough. He is obviously extremely sharp about the law and will fight hard for his clients but he also is just a very good human overall! Thanks Kelly!

I highly recommend using Christine Padilla for your Living Trust and Estate Planning. She is very patient, knowledgeable, and explains and educates you every step of the way. She is a great communicator and gives a clear timeline for turning around documents and has straight forward pricing. I had to make a last minute chance and she was very accommodating. I feel confident that things were set up properly and I understand how to make changes in the future if needed.

I recently contacted this Mr. Gold seeking guidance for a traffic matter- even though he doesn't practice in my area. Despite this, he graciously offered valuable insights and advice on how to handle my situation. His genuine kindness and sincerity shone through during our conversation, and I'm truly grateful for the assistance he provided. While I couldn't engage his services due to geographical constraints, I wholeheartedly recommend him based on his professionalism and willingness to assist. Thank you once again for your invaluable support!

I was involved in a car accident on February 19, 2022, and Duke Seth, PLLC, provided me with exceptional legal support throughout the entire process. Meenu Seth, who was the main lawyer handling my case, along with Maureen Carter, went above and beyond to ensure that everything was taken care of with the utmost professionalism and dedication.
Their expertise and attention to detail were evident from the start. They guided me through each step, kept me informed, and were always available to answer any questions I had. The personal attention I received from Meenu and Maureen made a challenging situation much easier to navigate, and I truly felt that my case was in the best possible hands.
The outcome of my case was better than I could have hoped for, thanks to their hard work and commitment. I highly recommend Duke Seth, PLLC, and especially Meenu Seth and Maureen Carter, to anyone in need of legal assistance. They are not just skilled attorneys but also genuinely care about their clients.

I have represented clients in civil law cases in Denton County for over 30 years. As a practicing attorney, I am familiar with the lawyers in other practice areas and the quality of their work. Earl Dobson is an excellent criminal defense attorney who I have referred numerous cases to because of the positive feedback I always receive. Earl is a skilled and experienced trial lawyer who is passionate about what he does and the people he represents. Earl is very knowledgeable, ethical and shoots straight with his clients. It's easy for me to give him a five star recommendation.

For anyone seeking legal guidance and formidable representation, the Law Office of Earl Dobson is an undeniable choice.
My experience with Mr. Dobson was exceptional and exceeded all my expectations. He embodies professionalism, empathy, and a high degree of legal acumen that is hard to match. Confronted with a complex case, I was initially beset with anxiety, but Mr. Dobson's calm demeanor and his ability to break down the complexities into understandable terms quickly put me at ease.
I was particularly impressed by Mr. Dobson's skillful approach to evidence collection and case building. His diligence and attention to detail led to the construction of a robust, unassailable case. It was this concrete evidence that resulted in a full decline from prosecution—an outcome that truly speaks to Mr. Dobson's mastery in the legal field.
We never had to step into court or battle for a dismissal. As soon as the prosecutor reviewed the compelling evidence presented by Mr. Dobson, we received a full decline notification, which was a testament to his dedication and relentless pursuit of justice.
To me, Mr. Dobson is not merely an attorney, but a steadfast advocate who stands by his clients through thick and thin. If you are seeking a legal counselor who can secure the best possible outcome while maintaining the highest standards of integrity, trust, and transparency, then the Law Office of Earl Dobson comes highly recommended.
In all honesty, Mr. Dobson is the best attorney I've ever had the pleasure of working with. His top-tier services have made a tremendous difference in my life, and for that, I am deeply grateful. I assure you, with Mr. Dobson, you're not only in capable hands, but you're also with someone who genuinely cares.

Hello, (Malo)
My name is Segia Tupu (birth name) but my American name is Sarah Johnson. I want to take the time to say thank you to Earl and his team. You guys not only did a phenomenal job but you out-stood the rest of the world. Because of you, I have found my way into who I am as a person. Because of you, I had my case dropped that should have never been a case. I cannot express how grateful I am to you, Earl. You showed me kindness and gentleness. You showed me love in a way I hadn’t seen with others around me. You were patient with William Johnson (adoptive father) and you did your best to make things happen. For that, I am grateful and honored to have been a part of your journey. I thank you for helping me in a time of need. But mostly, for doing for me what I couldn’t do for myself. I will remember you and your team when the time comes. Much alofa (as they say in Samoa)

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for Leanna Smith’s exceptional legal representation, which she provided during one of the most challenging periods of my life.
When I found myself falsely arrested and facing the wrong offense, I felt utterly helpless and scared. However, from the moment my parents hired her, she became a beacon of hope in what seemed like a hopeless situation.
Leanna’s understanding, kindness, and unwavering support throughout the entire ordeal was truly remarkable. Her clear and consistent communication not only kept me informed but also eased my anxieties. Knowing that I had her in my corner gave me the strength to endure each step of the legal process.
Her dedication and expertise were evident as she worked tirelessly to successfully drop all the charges against me. But, her assistance didn't stop there. She went above and beyond by reassuring me that everything would be alright and even helped clear my name within my college and community.
Her professionalism and compassion have left a lasting impression on me. She didn't just defend me legally, she restored my faith in justice and humanity. I am truly thankful for her service during this challenging time.
Thank you,
-Clifford C. Deitelbaum

Usually the best way to hire an atty is through personal references but for the jurisdiction we had a problem with we didn't have any and had to search cold. We avoided checking with premium/sponsored profile attorneys and saw that Leanna was not only highly rated on Avvo and Justia but amazingly had 35 all 5-star reviews so it was our first (and last call). We can immediately tell she was on the ball, caring, knew what she was doing and most importantly extremely responsive. You will find this out on your first call. The outcome of our difficult case was far above our expectations and amazing. If your shopping attorneys make your first call to Leanna and it will likely be the only one you need to make!

I really waited a few months to write this review just to snap back to reality and actually think about what I wanted to write since becoming a client of this prestigious law firm. If there was a 10 star button I would select it in a blink of an eye. This law firm is nothing short of what it represents "Proper Defense"!!! I came to Sally when she was fresh on her own 6 years ago and man let me tell you that odds were against me and Sally always stayed profession and keep it real told me how it was and what needed to be done. Not once did Sally sugarcoat or attempt to deceive me most in society would. She is very professional and knows what she is talking about and Sally does not play around either. She comes off as a very understanding individual and actually cares about her clients and what truly happens it not about the money for Sally but the name that she stands on. Grateful to say that after a long time waiting Sally was able to successfully win my case and was excited to tell me the news that she woke me up out of my sleep on a Sunday!!! If you want an attorney that gives you that reassurance and quality guarantee for your money's worth look no further Proper Defense is the place to go no question asked and if you feel that your not getting the answer's you need stop letting your conscience get the better of your mind and just be patient. I waited for a whole 6 plus years but the wait is worth the wait and the end result was nothing pure of joy. Thank you Sally for an amazing experience in a rough time of my life.

Susan Ford helped me prepare for a small claims case (where I represented my company) for a customer that sued us for nearly $5,000. Before hiring Susan I had checked with two other lawyers but I did not feel confident. Susan helped with both the mediation and the final court hearing. With her knowledge in my brain, I was able to make a clear and coherent explanation of events. The judge decided the case in my favor. I recommend Res Nova for anyone dealing with business issues in Oregon.

When it comes to legal and business advice, Susan is our "go-to" resource.

Extremely professional and effective law firm. Christina was constantly talking to me about the case and any updates that she had. She was able to reduce my case from an original deal of 3 months incarcerated to 45 days of house arrest due to the research she did on me and her ability to show the court the ways in which I have vastly changed since the beginning of my case. Would recommend to anyone that is going through something similar.

Michael was hired to help with a case involving two cross-border jurisdictions. An amount of undue stress, frustration and mental/financial cost was unfortunately beyond normal, largely due to us having to deal with an extremely dishonest opposing side, whose counsel (a gentleman named Gaurav Bali) in a counter motion was close to facing the judge and get sanctioned due to his unethical/illegal actions on this case (which included them faking the evidence, as well as illegally subpoenaing my former employers and financial institutions). Amidst all of this, Michael was the one who actually helped manage this mess, providing much needed clarity and guidance as to what to do and how to sanction them.
I plan on further retaining (and working with) Michael going forward, and highly recommend him as a person/professional with the highest standard of integrity.

I am obliged to post my review since the reviews and comments here has lead me to a right decision of choosing Julia Jayne. She is one of a kind- prompt in answering emails, calls and inquiries, approachable, honest, straightforward, witty, pro active. We’ve only met for a short time, she listened, had genuine concern, and had acted right away. My case was resolved in less than half an hour. And even after that, Julia still reached out when she has concerns. And she only charged reasonable fees. Words are not enough to thank Julia for what she has done. No one would wanna be in a position where you need to consult or hire a lawyer, but sometimes, that is life. Don’t hesitate, consult Julia. From my heart, I highly recommend her.

Experienced, caring, and diligent work! The level of professionalism and expertise was apparent from the start. Attorney Andrew Stacey did a great job at making me feel hopefully for resolution in my case. Along, with his assistant, Attorney Stacey was able to handle my complicated case with such delicacy, sensitivity and understanding. There was exceptional and effective communications between me, Attorney Stacey and his assistant, helping to keep me up to date with my case. I had terrible anxiety throughout the duration of my case, and even so, I was respected and heard about all of my concerns, which assured me that I was getting the best representation. His skill is showcased in his work, I have often noted that Attorney Stacey has a way of making things look easy. He is meticulous, very organized, and does not skip a beat when handling a case. I've had the pleasure to witness and personally experience how Attorney Stacey is willing to go above and beyond to defend his clients. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the services and professionalism provided by Voyager Law Group. Thank you Attorney Stacey for all you were able to accomplish for me and my family.

Andrew was very passionate about helping me out of my domestic violence case. The terms of the case were clear to him that I was innocent and he got two cases dismissed with the same woman who just liked to call the police on me.

What a Domestic Violence Lawyer Can Do for You
A domestic violence lawyer provides legal assistance to individuals involved in cases of domestic abuse, whether you are a victim seeking protection or someone accused of domestic violence defending against the charges. These lawyers help with obtaining restraining orders (protective orders), representing clients in criminal court, and handling related family law issues such as child custody, divorce, and visitation rights.
If you are dealing with domestic violence, a lawyer can help protect your rights and navigate the legal system to ensure your safety or defend you if you’re falsely accused.
When Should I Hire a Domestic Violence Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a domestic violence lawyer if you are:
-
A Victim of Domestic Violence:
- Filing for a protective order (restraining order): If you need immediate protection from an abuser, a lawyer can help you file for a protective order, which legally requires the abuser to stay away from you and refrain from contacting you.
- Divorce or separation due to abuse: If domestic violence is a factor in your relationship, a lawyer can help you pursue a divorce or legal separation and ensure that you are protected throughout the process.
- Child custody and visitation issues: A lawyer can help you secure custody of your children and limit or restrict the abuser’s visitation rights to protect the safety of your children.
- Filing criminal charges: If you are pursuing criminal charges against the abuser, a domestic violence lawyer can work with law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure the case is handled properly.
- Assistance with safety planning: A lawyer can advise on the legal steps to create a safety plan, including securing temporary housing, and taking steps to protect you and your family.
-
Accused of Domestic Violence:
- Defending against criminal charges: If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, a lawyer can defend your case, challenge the evidence, and represent you in court. If possible, the lawyer can help get charges reduced or dismissed.
- Challenging a restraining order: If someone has obtained a protective order against you, a lawyer can help you contest the order to prevent it from negatively impacting your life, including your employment and child custody rights.
- Dealing with family law issues: Domestic violence allegations can affect child custody, divorce, and property division. A lawyer can represent your interests in family court and ensure that your parental rights are protected.
- Avoiding criminal record implications: A lawyer can work to minimize the impact of the allegations on your record, which can affect your employment, housing, and future legal matters.
Hiring a lawyer at the earliest stages can help ensure your rights are protected and the case is handled effectively, whether you are seeking protection or defending against accusations.
What Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Do?
A domestic violence lawyer provides various legal services depending on the specifics of your case. These responsibilities often include:
-
For Victims:
- Filing for protective orders: A lawyer can help victims of domestic violence obtain temporary or permanent restraining orders, which provide legal protection by restricting the abuser’s access to you and your children.
- Representing you in divorce and child custody matters: Domestic violence often leads to divorce or separation, and a lawyer can represent you in family court to protect your assets, secure custody of your children, and arrange spousal and child support.
- Criminal representation: Lawyers work with law enforcement and prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against the abuser, ensuring that you are informed and supported throughout the legal process.
- Safety planning and legal advice: Lawyers provide advice on how to stay safe legally and can assist in securing temporary housing, providing guidance on how to leave abusive situations safely.
-
For the Accused:
- Defending against charges: A lawyer will build a defense by investigating the case, gathering evidence, and challenging the claims made against you. If necessary, the lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties.
- Challenging protective orders: If a restraining order has been placed against you, a lawyer can contest the order and present evidence to defend against it, aiming to minimize its impact on your life and reputation.
- Handling related family law issues: Lawyers help defend against domestic violence allegations in divorce, child custody, and visitation disputes, working to protect your parental rights and reputation.
- Preventing long-term consequences: A lawyer will work to protect you from the long-term consequences of a domestic violence conviction, such as a criminal record that could affect employment, housing, and more.
How Are Domestic Violence Lawyers Paid?

- Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as filing a restraining order or defending against a straightforward domestic violence charge, some lawyers offer a flat fee that covers all legal work related to that service.
- Retainer: In complex cases, such as those involving criminal charges, divorce, and custody disputes, a lawyer may require a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
- Pro bono or reduced fees: Some domestic violence lawyers provide pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services to victims of domestic abuse who cannot afford legal representation.
It’s important to discuss fees during your consultation to ensure you understand how much your case will cost and what payment options may be available.

Top Questions to Ask a Domestic Violence Lawyer
Before hiring a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the right experience and approach for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with domestic violence cases?
Ensure that the lawyer has handled domestic violence cases similar to yours, whether you’re a victim or the accused. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, flat fees, or a retainer, and ask for a detailed cost estimate. -
What is the likely outcome of my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Domestic violence cases vary in length, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what might cause delays. -
Will I need to appear in court?
Ask if your participation in court is required, and how the lawyer plans to represent you during hearings or trials. -
What steps should I take to protect myself or my rights?
Whether you’re a victim seeking protection or defending against allegations, ask the lawyer how they will help you navigate the situation.
How to Check the Credibility of a Domestic Violence Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable domestic violence lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for domestic violence experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in domestic violence cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients say about their experience with the lawyer.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have been involved in domestic violence cases.
- Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for certifications or memberships in family law or domestic violence advocacy groups, such as the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
-
For Victims:
- Details of the abuse: Prepare a detailed account of the abuse, including dates, locations, and descriptions of any injuries or threats.
- Police reports and medical records: Bring copies of any police reports, medical records, or photographs that document the abuse.
- Legal filings: If you have already filed for a restraining order or been involved in any legal proceedings, bring copies of those documents.
- Questions about your safety and legal options: Be ready to ask about the best steps to protect yourself and your family, as well as what legal actions you should pursue.
-
For the Accused:
- Details of the allegations: Prepare a detailed account of the incident or allegations against you, including any evidence or witnesses that support your defense.
- Legal documents: Bring any legal documents you have received, such as a restraining order, criminal charges, or child custody filings.
- Questions about your defense: Prepare questions about the legal process, possible penalties, and how the lawyer plans to defend your case.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation and provide the best possible legal advice.
