I Consulted Greg for DVPO and he was very quick and clear about communicating what needs to be done and very patient. He was also very empathetic to my situation and explained the possible outcomes and what my best options at hand. I wish I had hired him when I ran into issue the very first time. Highly recommend anybody who wants advice regarding DV to first reach him and talk to him even if you don't hire him. Not one of those attorney's who is money minded and does things only for the sake of business. A big thank you Greg!

Greg is a fantastic attorney. I hired him for a complicated case that I thought was resolved. It was very frightening to receive a letter out of the blue from the court but Greg was excellent at talking me through the specifics. He was honest and upfront about what could happen. The day before court we were able to talk and he had a comprehensive plan of attack that put me at ease after weeks of intense stress and worry. It’s clear he is respected in court and I was impressed by how kind and knowledgeable he was. I sincerely hope I never have a brush with the legal system again but if I do I would certainly contact Greg.

I am very grateful to have had Greg as my attorney. Greg Schwesinger from SQ attorneys had exceeded my expectations - he was always available to my needs and displayed a high level of professionalism. Without his knowledge and expertise I knew that I would not have had a successful outcome. Two years ago, my previous attorney had failed to mentioned that my DV civil case would arise to a criminal case. I was very frustrated and started to scout for a different attorney. I have talked to many attorneys prior to coming across Gregs’ profile. It was exhausting to re-explain the background of the case however Greg was attentive, understanding and was quick to the matter. In our initial call, Greg took action and was deep diving into the situation, making the knowledge transfer very seamless. During the process, Greg was devoted and worked relentlessly to ensure that the truth was told and presented perfectly. Greg was encouraging, informative, transparent and guided me through the long process. In result of Gregs’ work the case had been dismissed sooner than expected I am very honored to be a client of Greg and will highly refer Greg for any legal advice or legal matters. Thank you Greg Schwesinger.

I highly recommend Tom and am confident in his expert representation for any legal matters. From the first call, he was on top of my needs. I recently moved to Florida and needed an expungement in Rhode Island. I called his offices and left a message with my name, what I needed and my phone number. On the initial call, he had already looked up my record, had an answer for me and a very reasonable quote for services. I didn't even need to travel back to Rhode Island saving me both time and money. He was responsive, professional and reassuring throughout the process. I will definitely rely upon him again for any legal matters.

Wonderful Service and Representation, exonerating of all false claims! I am not from Seattle, was traveling for business and was set up. Court Will and his team took the time to review my case on 4th of July weekend and helped defend me, even on short Holiday notice. My case was filed and by 5 minutes past 5pm, Court Will called me and mentioned he spoke with the DA and they’ve decided to withdraw their filing! Few months later he called again, mentioned the DA will be closing the books on this matter and to stay away from any issues! Music to my ears! Sooooo Much appreciated!

Mr. Marry was vigorously recommended to me, with absolute promise of his success, were he to handle my DV case. Facing felony charges and the ruin of my foreseeable future, I went to Phil an absolute wreck. I was shocked at how calm, composed, and collected he remained, and at how hopeful he was for my situation. His secretary, Mrs. Jen, was just as wonderfully reassuring, and confident in his abilities. Phil worked with me financially, explained every step of the process, and ensured that I was aware of every possible outcome of my dire circumstances. He facilitated the passing of information to all parties involved, and I believe it was this aspect of his multifaceted professionalism, that granted me an Ordinance, rather than a Felony charge. Thanks to Phil Marry, I am able to spend time with my wife and better myself at home. I cannot possibly express my thanks and recommendation sufficiently enough.

When I needed legal representation, a mutual friend recommended Scott. Although the case was not convoluted, it was considered criminal under OHIO law. Having Scott representing me during this stressful time, definitely diminished the burden. During our first informal phone conversation, Scott clearly laid out all steps of the process and then followed them until the successful resolution of the case. Throughout the process, I could count on Scott’s professionalism, patience and respectfulness that extends not just to his clients, but visibly to other people he interacts with professionally.

His knowledge of the legal system when it comes to DUI cases is incredible then add mental health to that and Scott knew exactly what to do! He was able to get my son's DUI amended due to his mental health aspect. I do not believe other lawyers would have taken these extra steps.

i hired Timothy Healy's firm for my criminal case. I was recommended Duncan Lewis by Jason Benjamin who had represented me in my divorce and I trusted his opinion. I had a review hearing for an old Physical Control charge coming up and I had had very traumatizing experiences with this court and jail. I was convinced it was just not a smart or safe idea for me to show up alone and was I very nervous. I hired Duncan as recommended and I'm so glad I did! He validated all of my concerns and worries, and addressed everything I asked about. To me, he seems like a very understanding, agreeable and likeable man. He showed up early and handled things ahead of time so I was in and out of that awful court in 15 minutes flat! I could not have asked for a better outcome that day. It makes me feel a lot more confident knowing I can call him just in case, and I'm grateful for that. I highly recommend Duncan Lewis.

I contracted Mr. Healey's firm to represent me in a complex criminal case where I was falsely accused of a felony. Mr. Healey appointed Duncan Lewis to my defense. I am grateful to Mr. Healey's firm and Duncan Lewis. Please read my review to Mr. Duncan below: I was falsely accused of a serious crime and Mr. Lewis’ exceptional talent proved my innocence. Throughout the many months of agonizing proceedings and countless court dates, Mr. Lewis never missed a court date and he was always thoroughly prepared. Mr. Lewis was supportive of my family and I during this incredibly painful experience. I was facing prison time, loss of my career, and the ability to care for my family. Everything I had worked so arduously for my entirely life was at peril. Today, I have my freedom and my integrity is sound in the eyes of the law, family and friends because of Mr. Lewis. He has over three decades of professional experience and he is deservingly well-respected in the law community. Mr. Lewis’ diligence, breadth of experience, and professionalism helped save my life. My family and I are grateful to Mr. Lewis and we affectionately refer to him as Duncan “The Lion” Lewis. Thank you for saving my life and family’s future.

We found ourselves in a situation where they didn’t know what to do nor where to turn, so we reached out to Mr Leary. Mr. Leary responded quickly to our request for guidance and helped us see things in the correct light, giving us a path forward to return to normality. Frankly we really felt lost (and completely stressed out) before consulting with Mr. Leary, and afterwards felt like we had a true and incredibly experienced advocate on our side. His knowledge of the Legal system, both the letter of the law and the practical interpretation, gave us clear guidance and hope. He presented clear options and helped us steer a path forward. While Mr Leary handles much more serious cases, he was incredibly patient with us, taking his time to explain everything, and we always felt like he was giving us his complete attention. It was a blessing and a relief when we found Mr. Leary and we can only say good things about him and his help. Sincere thanks Tim!

Alex represented our son in a civil and later criminal case. From the very moment we contacted him, he showed he cared for our son’s wellbeing & took charge of a very difficult case. We had no legal experience at all and he patiently & thoroughly explained things to us. He knew right away our son was suffering from an underlying medical condition & he knew we needed to get him home as quickly as possible. His expertise and professionalism were amazing. Alex represented our son at the preliminary hearing so well, the plaintiff didn’t show to the actual hearing. We were able to get our son home and the cases were later closed. I can’t say enough about Alex. He literally saved our son’s life! If you want the best of the best, you need Alex to represent you.

I got hit with a TPO full of false allegations in Kitsap County out of the blue stemming from a dispute with my HOA (ironically involving other false allegations). After hiring Alex, he immediately got to work and provided invaluable guidance every step of the way in getting the case together. By the time we got to court, we were so prepared that we never even got to testify, the judge threw the case out in our favor after the petitioner's story completely fell apart. I was almost disappointed to win so quickly, as we had so much more to go over! I had total confidence in him every step of the way. If you ever get in a situation like this, I would highly recommend his services.

I called Alexander's law office from the Sacramento airport while I was on a layover where I had to be in court in Seattle to respond to a legal matter. He only had about 18 hours to prepare and defend me, yet he did so in impressive fashion: CASE DISMISSED. He educated me on the what to expect in a legal process before we entered the courtroom and walked me through a mock Q & A scenario on what to expect at the time of my hearing. It was exactly as he described with the exception that I didn't have to do any talking at all because his explanation was so sharp and to the point that he blew the whole case apart in one session without dragging my dear friend into the case who was called as a witness when she did not want to be used as a scapegoat and set up to be embarrassed by questions unrelated to her. He really knows how to thread the needle to help protect everyone all while reminding you that YOU, THE CLIENT is always his main concern. No less important, his fee structure is extremely honest too. I was expecting to pay one amount much higher than what he actually retained from me, but actually ended up with money back that I had considered gone. Finally, after our victory, he sat with me for about 35 or 40 minutes and just gave me true down-to-earth legal counsel and advice on what to do moving forward to avoid disputes like mine all while telling me about alternative options if I ever need him again. Put this guy on retainer, it's a no-brainer in the adage when it comes to him.

First off let me say I have never been so scared in my life as when I got arrested and charged with two felonies. What's worst of all is the crimes I was accused of I did not commit. I was facing five years behind bars minimum. I was given a public defender which I didn't hear from at all for a whole week. Thus starting my quest to find a good lawyer. I needed to find a lawyer I felt confident would represent me well. I went to seven different lawyers accompanied by my brother, before speaking to Mr. Graves. I heard all similar things from the seven previous lawyers. They all seemed more interested in getting paid then proving my innocence. My first meeting with Mr. Graves we spoke for about two hours about my options and what his plan of attack would be. I felt very comfortable in his skills, ability and experience. My brother who accompanied me during this process felt Mr. Graves was the best for the job. My case dragged on for almost a year and each step of the way Mr. Graves kept me updated. He was very prepared for different scenarios that might have risen and gathered as much information about the case as he could. After almost a whole year of dealing with my case it ended with a dismissal! I could not have been more joyous and relieved and I owed it all to Daryl Graves. If your looking for a lawyer with grit and honesty Mr graves is someone highly worth considering. Lastly, on a personal note, I was very impressed with him not only as a lawyer but as a human being.

Brian performed well above any expectations considering what the courts were trying to do to me. I was facing serious felony charges of hate crime in 2021 ; as you know a very difficult time for such accusations to be judged fairly. He boiled it down to the facts and wasn't shaken by the blocking of nearly all my evidence by the prosecution. In the end he exposed the lies through incredible witness cross examination. He is an amazing trial lawyer and i would recommend him to anyone facing criminal prosecution. I am now able to breathe easy and i felt comfort knowing he had my back.

Joni is an outstanding defense lawyer. I was arrested on trumped up charges for a DUI, but unfortunately for me there was not a lot lot of evidence to back up my side of the story. Joni knows every angle to approach a case from and successfully reduced it to a traffic violation. I thought my life was over, but Joni saved me. She is highly experienced and knows exactly how to handle a case to achieve favorable results for the client. She is outgoing and easy to talk to as well - my whole predicament was grim, with seemingly little hope, but she put me at ease right away. Additionally, her rates are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of her services as a defense attorney.

I have been searching and searching for a lawyer that could help me with my situation. I had 2 misdemeanors on my record and I actually moved to Idaho, so it was nearly impossible for me to go down to Temecula. Or riverside to deal with this. In searching for someone that can help me. I landed upon this lawyer and I must say the care and help that they gave me was remarkable. The day that I called they started on my case and kept me in the loop with everything. A lot of attorneys that I have contacted wanted to charge me upwards of 3500 and of course, a single mom, I could definitely not afford that. This is the first time I actually had to hire an attorney to help me and it was very daunting, but coming across this attorney made it effortless. I didn't have to do much and living in a different state made me concerned that it was even possible to do. The cases were dismissed so fast I honestly couldn't believe it and the cost was actually very reasonable that I could even afford. I can't express enough how happy I am that I actually, pushed through and decided to make one last call to an attorney and ended up with them. I am so grateful to this attorney for doing what they did in such a short amount of time and keeping me updated throughout the process. I would highly highly recommend this attorney to anyone, and everyone that is searching for a great person and attorney to represent them in a difficult situation you will not regret it.

I am very grateful for meeting Mr. & Mrs. Combs they are very nice and work greatly as a team. Mr. & Mrs. Combs always updated me on my case. They made sure to instruct me properly on what to do with certain forms and anything I had to do on my end. All of my questions were answered and they understood my situation. Mr. Combs told me something no other lawyer told me, he said he will show up to court on my behalf, knowing I was out of the state. My warrant was removed without me having to be there. The next court date my felony would be dropped which was another court date I did not have to attend. This helped me out tremendously! It would have been very costly for me to travel back and forth since I'm preparing for university. Knowing that, he worked really hard for me to not have to show face. Thank you very much Mr. & Mrs. Combs. Lovely people, great personalities, I haven't even met them in person and I know this. To anyone reading I highly recommend this wonderful team!

I contacted Kip to represent me for a domestic violence charge. Colorado law requires mandatory arrest(s) be made if there is a 911 call related to domestic violence. That arrest happened to be me even though I was the one that walked into the police station to fill out a report. Ironically I was never allowed to complete my report before taken into custody. There was never intent to file charges from either parties involved but Colorado law rarely dismisses a case once there is an arrest. I thought about representing myself but these are serious charges and I wanted the best to represent me. I found Kip online and his great reviews convinced me to pick up the phone and call. I'm glad I did. Kip was great. He was very professional and helpful. He explained things to me and worked hard on my case. He negotiated a very generous plea agreement but I have a hard time agreeing to something that in my opinion is untrue and unfair. I rejected the plea agreement and wanted to exercise my right to a fair trial. KIP is amazing at what he does and was honest about his litigation Comfort level. He understood and respected my position and suggested I hire an attorney that specializes in trial litigation. He did a great job for me and I felt that he truly cared and put in the extra effort. Thank you Kip

You absolutely cannot go wrong hiring Kip O’Connor as your attorney and is easily the best attorney I’ve ever dealt with. His kindness, honesty, attention to detail, legal acumen, and respect he engenders from the D.A. and local judicial system is priceless. His prices were exceedingly fair and upfront. Throughout the case Kip was always available by phone or email and promptly responded. During the hearing Kip was well prepared, presented my case wonderfully, and was able to get an outstanding plea bargain. I cannot recommend Kip highly enough-my family will forever be deeply indebted to him and his assistance.

I had a photo radar ticket question...I called the office and within minutes Ryan called me back. I was very stressed due to the fact of having a clean driving record. Ryan took the time to explain the photo radar process advising me not to worry. Ryan sent a follow up email making sure everything was ok. He went out of his way to keep checking to make sure the ticket was dismissed. The ticket was dismissed and I am very thankful for the time he spent.

Matthew was always very patient with us, answered all our questions with the always present graciousness and was very systematic in providing us the details. He went to great lengths to help us fight our case against the school district and obtained for us a very favorable result. He is a very dedicated and hard working attorney and we were very happy to have him on our side. Matthew prepared a comprehensive packet which provided all the details from our point of view. He spent a lot of time in helping us build the case and guided us in different areas to ensure we fulfilled all requirements before hand. This helped in presenting a very compulsive case.

If you are in need of consistently aggressive, calculated and very professional advocacy, Wallin and Klarich is the law firm that you should go to. I understand, it is terrifying to be in a situation wherein you are accused specially if you have not have not had experience with the legal system before, so looking for strong lawyers will be your best defense. Our story with Wallin and Klarich started when we had a serious accusation thrown at a family member. I called them on a Saturday evening, left a message; I immediately got a call from Jonathan Lynn, one of their senior lawyers who made an appointment with us even on a Sunday. He then referred us to one of the partners of the firm, Matthew Wallin, and after our first meeting, we knew that we were starting off on the right path in having this firm at our side. Matt was always there for us. I know he is a top rated lawyer who handles a lot of cases, but he never made us feel that our case was any less serious or less important. He was always prompt, detailed, pro-active and he was always respectful. Contrary to what a few negative reviewers post here, this firm never made us feel that our case was about money first. I actually had to ask them several times to review the retainer since I really felt that they were spending so much time on our case vs. what we were paying for. Matt is a very strong advocate and he really cares about his clients. He acted as a confidant, coach, lawyer, mentor during our darkest and most trying times. Like I always said to him, his advocacy is much more than whatever money we can pay for. His service, his care, his diligence is unsurpassed. I have heard horror stories from other families about how badly they were treated by their law firms and honestly, if I would just say out loud to those having problems, go to Wallin and Klarich. On a personal note to Matt and his team, thank your work and your firm. It is because of people like you, that people get a fighting chance to defend themselves and be presumed innocent first in the eyes of the law. You guys have chosen to fight the hard fight with your clients and just for making that career choice and that decision, gives all of your clients a fighting chance to prove themselves innocent. Our family, will always be forever grateful for your advocacy.

I was pulled over for doing donuts in an empty dirt lot, and the police officer told me I would get something in the mail. Almost a year later, I got a court summons telling me I was to be charged with misdemeanor reckless driving and vandalism. Adding insult to injury, the DA’s office made me court date AFTER I had moved out of state for school! After consulting with and retaining Matt Wallin, I could not be happier with the outcome. He represented me and kept me updated with all relevant info, and was very professional. Mr. Wallin eventually got both charges dropped and the case dismissed. Considering I could have been facing jail time, a nasty fine and a license suspension, this could not have gone any better for me. A big thank you to Mr. Matt Wallin and the entire team!

Matt was very efficient and went the full distance with my case. One thing that impressed me was Matt’s attitude. He was very positive and kept me updated on my case.

I am very satisfied with my experience with Matt Sullivan. It took him 4 1/2 years to get my case dismissed. He worked so hard for so long that I feel like I underpaid for his outstanding efforts! Aside from the outstanding results, working with Matt is a pleasure. He explained everything that was going on, the various outcomes to expect, and strategies we might use, in clear layman's terms. I feel like Matt was very conscientious about not wasting my money. We spent a good amount on private investigators, but all of it was well spent and in the end got us the best possible result. This brings up another point worth mentioning, Matt has put together a great team of investigators and experts to help win your case. I highly recommend Matt Sullivan, not just a great lawyer, a great guy too!

You can definitely tell Julie is all about helping and not based solely off of money. There are other lawyers that try to charge a fee just to speak with you. I appreciate Julie’s professional service and would refer her to anyone that’s in need of a criminal defense attorney based off of my first impression.

Ok to start I have literally been using Julie Kert's services for years now, and since I found her she has NEVER let me down! I first hired Julie for a dui that I received in Cobb County almost 10 years ago. I was praying to beat the charges but because I had heard of how strict cobb County can be I knew I needed a really good attorney. I never had hired a top tier attorney at the time but because of the circumstances I knew it would be the best decision for me to do so. I received a ton of letters via mail from all sorts of attorneys and for some reason Julie's stood out to me. I went and met with her for the initial free consultation. I felt very confident with her and I could tell that she was extremely knowledgeable to the point that I decided to hire her that day. I apparently had made the correct decision because Julie was able to get the charges totally dismissed which was amazing, and at that point I knew that she was worth every single penny that I had paid her. Fast forward down the line I had a a situation come up with an ex that I had been living with who had acquired a small misdemeanor marijuana charge at the home that we shared, however even though I was not there when the incident happened the police decided to charge me as well along with the ex who had already admitted to the marijuana. I found out later that I had a warrant from those charges that I didn't know of and was arrested. I called Julie and hired her and when we went to court she was able to have all charges dropped due to the fact that the charges had already been previously charged to someone else. What I have learned in my experience is when hiring attorneys you are paying for the experience and knowledge which is what will win cases. A lesser experienced attorney might not know all of the intricacies of the law to be honest. Given Julie's history and prior work experience as a prosecutor I have no doubt that she knows both sides of the field which is what I think has been very successful in helping me with my cases. I received another DUI years later and decided to go with a friend because I thought that it was a simple case. At the time I technically had never been convicted with a DUI and it was a refusal to blow so I knew there wasn't any hard evidence. Needless to say I went to court and lost that case which should have been a very simple case. The reason being is the attorney was inexperienced. Years later I received another DUI and I decided to hire another attorney again because I didn't think I could afford Julie, however I lost the case and wound up spending more money after the case than what I would have spent if I would have just hired her. And now, what brings me to this review, I hate to admit it but for the sake of this review I will expose that that I have caught the third and final DUI I will ever catch in my lifetime and I made sure to hire Julie because I did not need this DUI to stick because three would be very bad, as if the 2 prior wasnt bad enough. This time however I really felt that I was innocent. Let me tell you that Julie Kert was able to get the DUI thrown out by the judge due to circumstances that only she in my opinion would have been able to execute due to her exemplary knowledge and experience and legal intelligence in the courtroom. It is an honor to watch her work and witness her masterful execution in the courtroom. She has literally saved my life this time around. The earlier situations I was very young and making stupid decisions and this time I really did get caught up in a bad place at the wrong time and she saved my life for me and my family! Thank you Julie Kert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was accused by police for abusing my son. I admit that I am a tough father but I am not the "abuser" described by the police. When I was released from jail I started seeking an attorney on AVVO. Mr. Nakano's experience drew my attention. However, my stereotype about lawyers reserved me from making immediate decision to hire him. After looking through his website, I told myself "why not give him a chance, and give yourself a chance". Because of our similar ethnic background, he could look at the situation from my perspective. Not only that, Mr. Nakano suggest me started to makeup for my mistake before the court date. He recommended Parents' Group, a group therapy that help distressed parents. In addition, he recommended me seeing professional counselor, who had taught me a lot because he had already went through the path that I am going through. Because of Mr. Nakano's help, I was dismissed of the charges by the police and was exonerated from CACI listing. Most importantly, my relationship with my son has improved. We enjoyed our Thanksgiving vacation in Disney; played retro video games and light saber duel together during Christmas Holidays. Aside from all the fun, he is still willing to follow my guidance to learn math and English daily. Thank you Mr. Nakano.

After the police contacted me and conducted their investigation it was confirmed I was not involved in any hit and run. Turns out the party who claimed I was involved was pulling an insurance scam. Steven Nakano and myself had a consultation in his office and he put me at ease that I had nothing to be concerned about. He is clearly very skilled and very professional. He is one of the best attorneys in the bay area. And I'm very thankful for him. Thank you Mr. Steven Nakano.

This man is worth every single penny. WORTH IT. I have never seen an attorney more prepared and ready to attack in court. Custody court was mentally the toughest thing I had ever gone through along with living 300 miles away. Mike helped me through every step. He made sure I was clear on everything and understood what was going on at all times. We had telephone conferences and I only had to come in office a few times. His ability to recollect laws and cases in court is astounding and he made my ex’s lawyer look like he’d never been to law school or passed a bar exam a day in his life. Mike came fully prepared to rock my ex’s world and did. I have FULL SOLE CUSTODY with supervised visits for the other party. If I had to do it all over again he’s the ONLY attorney I would consider.
