I had a case of posession of marijuana in Montgomery county jail for less than 2 ounces I was dropped a felony to a misdemeanor and served 1 year probation. He was even there for me when I was revoked my probation in 2009 and although this review was due a long time ago. It's always better late than ever to tell everyone that Gilbert Garcia is a great lawyer and is very well known. He will fight for you!

Mr. Shapiro is a fantastic lawyer. With myself having never dealt with the legal system in any way he provided me with the help I needed and made it very simple and as stress free as possible. I highly recommend anyone who is in need of a great defense attorney to call the law office of David P. Shapiro.

I hired Mr. Shapiro at a horrible time when my life fell apart very publicly because of a poor choice of mine. David was very helpful at shooting straight with me, as well as teaching me, my wife, and my family about the different nuances, definitions, and options of the legal system (which is a disappointingly designed system). I will never need to, but would hire him again in a heartbeat. He is unbelievably responsive to communication at all times, and his firm is filled with kind, helpful people. If you are looking at this review, best of luck to you, Shapiro is a good choice.

While I don’t wish anyone to be in my position, if someone needs help, I will always recommend David and his firm. I received the most exceptional legal representation from David throughout this case. David's dedication, expertise, and exceptional communication skills with genuine empathy made a significant difference during what was undoubtedly a stressful and uncertain time for me. Genuine professionalism, integrity, and ethical conduct were evident at every stage of our interactions. Thank you for your outstanding work.

Ray Cassar consulted with me over my husband's case a few months back and was especially helpful. He took the time that I needed to be able to make a big decision. I had spoke with many other lawyers, and Ray was the only one to sit down with me in person, clearly write things out and explain the options I had, along with potential consequences. He was personable and reassuring. I am very grateful for Ray and the time he spent with me.

His vast knowledge in this type of matters resulted in getting the civil case dismissed. I was in constant communication with him throughout this entire process.

If you’re reading this review today, chances are you or someone you know are in need of representation in the court of law. I hired Adam Bolotin in February of 2020, after an unfortunate misunderstanding that led to my untimely separation from my company and a dream career that I had waited for over 35yrs:( Due to the pandemic the city of Chicago literally shut down in March of 2020, which pushed my court dates further and further back, with the unknown and uncertainties, a widespread pandemic and no employment I found myself at a low point in my life, but through it all, Adam was extremely encouraging and reassuring by reminding me of how he was going to fight for me and that the law was there to protect me. I will forever be in this man’s debt as he time and time again rushed to represent me even after the case was dismissed, yet my new employer needed some legal final papers. Adam has definitely restored my faith in humanity. Thank God for attorneys who remain faithful to their oath to protect the citizens of this country. Today I am with a different company doing the same dream career and enjoying my life, thanks to Adam’s continued support and legal representation.

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!

I had the pleasure of working with Scott Lawrence for my DUI case and I couldn't be more grateful for his representation. Not only did he win my trial, but his knowledge of the details and his negotiation skills were instrumental in achieving a successful outcome. He was able to navigate the complex legal system with ease and always had my best interests in mind. One of the things I appreciated most about working with Mr. Lawrence was his commitment to keeping me informed and updated throughout the entire process. He always made sure I understood the progress of my case and was available to answer any questions I had. I never felt in the dark or uncertain about my case with him on my side. If you're in need of a DUI attorney, I highly recommend Mr. Lawrence. His expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail are second to none. He truly is the best in the business and I'm grateful for all that he did for me.

A big portion of my job involves driving, so when I recently received a traffic infraction I decided to look into options rather than just “lying down” and allowing it to go onto my driving record. I reached out to Mr. Lawrence and I am extremely glad I did. After reaching out and paying the retainer, he assured me that “he had it handled from here”. Everything went extremely smooth. He was always quick to respond to any questions I had and he kept me in the loop with what was going on with my case. He went to court and represented me, I didn’t even have to go at all… and the best part is, he got my ticket totally dismissed!! What more could I ask for? I would recommend him to anyone looking to be represented, and if I ever need his assistance again in the future ( *knock on wood* hopefully I don’t!!), I will definitely be reaching back out to him. Thanks again Mr Lawrence!!!! YOU ROCK!

My experience with Jeff Manciagli was nothing short of phenomenal. I contacted Jeff on behalf of a friend that was incarcerated in Fulton County Jail. Prior to this I was totally green as to how the court, and jail systems operate. Jeff walked me through the next steps, as well as provided sound legal advice. Ultimately, my friend's family decided to move in another direction regarding legal representation. The family and myself cannot thank Jeff enough for his responsiveness, genuine concern, patience, and professionalism. It's hard to believe that an attorney as busy as Jeff actually has the time to effectively follow-up, and follow-through with potential clients - but he does. If you are looking for a 5 Star Attorney - Jeff is definitely it !

I recently moved to AZ from CA, and I was pulled over (speeding), and the cop that pulled me over told me I was lucky he wasn’t going to arrest me, because I was going (what he said) was 20 miles over the posted speed limit as well as in a school zone. I was completely shocked, since this was my very first time being pulled over in the 20+ years I’ve been driving. The cop told me that I will need to go have my fingers printed and get my pictures taken. This whole situation was eased when I reached out to Mark and his team. After our first conversation on the phone I knew I was in good hands. I felt that Mark and his team listened to me, and provided me with the very best outcome possible. I am so thankful.

Marc advised me to hire someone good to represent me asap because he said that based upon his former experience as a prosecutor, it was much better if I had a good lawyer plead my case before a charging decision was made. And also for the DMV hearing process. The DA decided to not file a DUI case against me!

My family, like so many, battled with a drug addicted child. The addiction led to criminal behavior. We never stopped fighting for our son for the 11 years of hardcore heroin addiction. Multiple times he was incarcerated for both petty and serious crimes. We hired Philip Brown to help on multiple cases over a period of 5 years. In each instance he prevailed in our son's favor. These victories gave our son an opportunity to be rehabilitated rather than just incarcerated. Today our son is healthy and clean for almost two years. Working a steady job and preparing to get married to a lovely young lady. Never give up hope! Thank you, Phil, for the part you played in his rehabilitation. I can't recommend Phil Brown enough.

Jim Gass has done a phenomenal job on behalf of my little brother. His top-tier legal defense instincts, experience and expertise are beyond question in San Bernardino County (SBC). His stand-alone outcome differentiator of having 'won more felony jury trials than any other attorney in SBC,' speaks for itself. As a dedicated family man Jim also dedicates his time and energy to the emotional as well as legal well-being of his clients. No sooner did my little brother meet with Jim than his entire demeanor changed. Operationally, Jim maintains an excellent rapport with courtroom colleagues on both sides of the justice system aisle, as is also all-too-critical to optimizing outcomes. Jim has my most sincere thanks, and I highly recommend him for legal defense services in the SBC area.

I am also a criminal defense lawyer and have been since 1997. Jim Gass was actually one of my supervising attorneys when I was a law clerk and in the first 3 years of my practice I worked with him extensively. He supervised my first jury trial. I have represented co-defendants in cases with him. If I needed a lawyer to defend me in trial, I would move Heaven and Earth to convince Jim to represent me. I am not at all exaggerating. I have seen...I don't know...maybe thousands of criminal defense attorneys in action. I have seen criminal defense lawyers who are flashier and undoubtedly more comfortable with charging people crazy high fees because, after all, being a little full of BS is part of the business side of criminal defense. I don't know how to say this as a positive thing but, I don't think that Jim is good at convincing people to fork over their entire life savings to represent them. He should be because he really is worth it. Jim is exceptionally good in front of juries...exceptionally...really exceptionally. Are you getting that I am saying he is exceptionally good at connecting with normal types of people who end up on juries? And, the other thing good about Jim is that he doesn't come across as threatening or arrogant to prosecutors even though they know he is a threat. So, while other criminal defense lawyers may tick off prosecutors and make them want to beat the lawyer, prosecutors in the Inland Empire courts just kind of know that he WILL beat them. It is that trait that allows Jim to effectively settle cases in my opinion. I wish I could pull rabbits out of hats like Jim can. Anyone who writes a bad review doesn't know what they are talking about and I bet that most of the people who have reviewed him would give him stars that go beyond 5 if it were possible to do it. Funny but, the only reason I am writing this review is that I have a former client who I just gave Jim's information to so I had to look him up on the internet to get the number. Those people will be in good hands if they hire him.

Working with Attorney Philip was an amazing experience. Before meeting Philip, I was in a panic as I had received an offer from as a federal contractor and I had to do an FBI CORI which required fingerprints. I had called the lawyer who had worked on my case and tried to get him to Seal and Update my FBI CORI but his response was “there’s nothing we can do.” That is when I went online to do my research and that’s how I landed on attorney Philip’s website. I read through the testimonies on his website but I had to say, I was skeptical at first because not everything that’s on the internet is real. I followed my gut & called attorney Philip’s office. Philip was extremely knowledgeable about the FBI Sealing and Updating CORI process and he was able to answer all my questions. It felt great working with a lawyer that was confident in his work. Philip returns phone calls and emails promptly. Once I handed all the required documents he needed to work on my case, it took him 5 days to give me the exciting news that my FBI CORI was sealed and that the FBI update will be effective within 17 weeks. I highly recommend Philip and I will hire him again for any legal issues.

She immediately took charge of my situation and assured me that although this may feel like the worst thing that has ever happened, everything is going to be okay. She treated me with respect that I did not feel like I deserved. I started to breathe again as she took charge and explained how my charges could be reduced if I followed all of the steps she presented to me. I was 100% committed to doing so. I left her office that day feeling lighter knowing I had her to help me navigate this storm in my life. Each and every time I contacted Amy via email or phone, she responded within a few hours. Amy never left me hanging or feeling alone. I never even had to go to court! She took care of every single legal detail. Yes, she is incredibly brilliant and a compassionate soul who I cannot recommend enough. Hiring Amy was a godsend!

I hired Elliot Zarabi and his team to help with my DUI case. He could succeed to change my DUI case to Wet Reckless and magically, reduce my probation from 3 years to 4 month!. Elliot is a first-rate attorney who demonstrated courage and tenacity in representing us. He listened carefully, he skillfully designed an effective defense for our issue, he presented it to the judge and brought immediate closure to the situation we were facing. Eliot is experienced and practical – he will not waste your time. He has a superior comprehension of the nuances of the law and in-depth understanding of the court system. He is the top-notch captain that every team needs. Thank you for bringing peace back into my life. Matt

I came to Elliot for a consultation to handle my 10 year old felony case. I hadn't completed the terms of my probation, none of it, and I was ready to turn myself in. As it turned out not only was my felony probation violation open, but also a slew of smaller warrants for traffic violations. I consulted with a few different attorneys who were all really great but I decided to go with Elliot and I am very glad that I did. First he met me on a Saturday which was very convenient. He genuinely seemed to care about helping me. He was honest and upfront, didn't make any promises to give me false hope. Which I appreciated as I knew how serious the consequences were going to be. Leading up to court there were many times that I had questions about our strategy and Elliot was always available to reply via email, and take my calls. It felt like I was his only client. In front of the judge where it matter the most, Elliot really came through. When my character came into question, he argued fiercely on my behalf. That's when I was 100% sure that I had made the right choice. In the end I received my best possible outcome, and I have Elliot to thank for that. Out of 4 cases (1 Felony and 3 Misdemeanors) that he handled for me I received positive outcomes in each. I'm extremely fortunate. Every scenario is obviously different and I can't guarantee your outcome. I can however tell you that you can have a little more confidence with Elliot behind you.

My wife of 25 years filed a restraining order against me. I am in my seventies, a retired surgeon, and have never had this kind of legal issue. Ms. Keegan did not start by evaluating my ability to pay but instead listened, clearly comprehended my situation, and agreed to take my case. She is a Jurist with the added outstanding qualities of organization, problem-solving, laser focus, attention, and retention of details, and she responds and adapts to changing circumstances with composure. Her patience elevates her to the highest levels of professionalism, coupled with her analysis, writing, and persuasion skills, will give you great comfort that you are represented by the best.

Caterina is an amazing attorney. She is extremely knowledgeable, respectful, decisive, and a great negotiator on behalf of her clients. With very little advance prep due to the nature of my case, Caterina jumped right in and was able to negotiate an almost unbelievable result with the district attorney. I found her to be very personable, intelligent, flexible, and highly respected by all in the legal process. Her Assistant, Gina was wonderful and guided us through the entire process step by step so that we were ready. I will surely recommend Caterina and her firm to anyone needing legal counsel. Thank you so much!

Dan has proven to be a thorough attorney that leaves no stone unturned. Was always available and quick to respond to texts and emails. The only thing lacking was face to face consultation in his office. Other than that, Dan was quick to respond when we had a question. I’m not aware of everything Dan did behind the scenes while dealing with the opposing attorney but in the end, the outcome was favorable considering the circumstances. I would hire Dan again and recommend his services.

Dan Peugh has the knowledge, skill, and compassion to help your family navigate these unknowns.

I am so thankful I found Dan to help me with my DWI arrest. He is professional and has experience handling DWI’s. His paralegal Cara is great and always answered my calls and emails in a timely manner. I was always kept informed throughout the process so I knew what was happening. This was a super stressful time for me. DWI laws are pretty much straight forward so he could only do so much but he was able to get me the best possible outcome I could expect considering the facts in my case. I am happy he was able to get my probation term reduced slightly. I couldn’t have done it without him or Cara. I hope I never need him again but wouldn’t hesitate to retain him again if needed.

Talked to few but definitely out the group I like the sense of humor they had positive attitude they had. They let me put a down payment and worked with me on my payments when I got behind a few. I finally got him paid and he got me a plea that was a blessing! I’m still free and I’m not sure if I would be if I didn’t hire this guy! Thanks Micheal Lemond!!

Well before hiring, I was nervous scared terrified I didn't know what to do who to call where to go but Michael was very reassuring when she poke to him the first call. I called other attorneys that same day but no one felt right. I told my parents I feel like this person is the best to represent me and I know it's more expensive but I feel like he has the best interest for this case at heart. Everything was smooth sailing and I was kept up to date. Most positive experience ever. When Mike called me to tell me my case was dismissed I almost well I can't say what I almost did haha. I was in the car driving when he called and I almost threw the phone out of the window I was so glad it was all over after almost 2 years. If you need an attorney make you calls but this one I recommend because Michael and his staff truly care.

I would not hesitate to send a friend or family member her way. I came in for my consultation she listened,took notes and gave me her honest opinion explained what she would try to do on her end.

I had a DUI in Denton country. It was very stressful and I knew I need a very good attorney to support me to get through this. After going through so many hours of research online, my search ended with hiring Kimberly. I am very glad she accepted my case. She was honest with me from the beginning and explained me the possibilities of the case, made me understand the law, what the next steps are and is very professional in communication. What I really liked about the service is -> Her strategical advice at many points, given the complexity of my case is really good. -> Communication was prompt via email at every step, including for her own vacation time upfront. -> Her patience in answering questions, genuine advice and care for the client. -> Her explanation of what will happen next and what the plan is. -> Exceptional service, going above and beyond There were many instances where the service was above and beyond, ex: I had issues with my interlock device for a short time and she cared enough to help by letting her IID contact know about the issue. Also, at the end, she got my interlock device removal granted, but I did not got the removal papers on the court date by mistake. She and her team followed up personally and got the papers to me from the court the very next day!! She cares about her clients enough and I felt no different and I am really very pleased with her service. I had attorneys for other things in my past such as immigration matters and others, and from my own little experience I can say that she is definitely in her own league, at the very top. I wish my other attorneys could at least be half good as her. I could not be more happy with the outcome we got last week. I cannot thank her enough and I would highly recommend her services. I am usually not the reviewing type, but I felt the need to do something in return for her awesome service and the person she is. I am able to write this review in peace because of her. I do wish her all the best for her future.

Tommy Hull and his paralegal Kenna are awesome! I picked Tommy as my criminal defense attorney after an officer made a false DWI allegation against me. As a former prosecutor, Tommy is incredibly knowledgeable and knows how to get things done; he’s a straight shooter and always made time to meet with me when I had questions, and was able to give a realistic guesstimation of outcome right away, but never sugar coated anything(he tells you things you don’t want to hear but need to). Paralegal Kenna is also awesome, she was super responsive, and knowledgeable giving answers she knew on the fly, or reaching out to Tommy when needed. Tommy is a little more pricey than some options in the region, but in my opinion a very worthwhile investment. He had everything taken care of within 7 weeks, and while he told me that I could expect to lose my drivers license; he ended up having the ALR case dismissed too… So I never lost my license, which statistically is something that lawyers in these cases are only able to achieve less than 5% of the time. But I think that’s very much consistent with who he is… I’d guess Tommy is easily within the top 5% of lawyers capability wise.

I was originally referred to Maureen O'Brien at O'Brien, Thomas and Bibek, LLC law firm by my personal attorney. Maureen was unable to take my case due to illness but she recommended David and he accepted my case. David provided invaluable professional and discreet assistance in the court room while handling my case. He spoke to the judge and the district attorney on my behalf on several occasions while we were both in the court room. He negotiated a reduction in charges with the district attorney that changed my potential conviction of a felony to a misdemeanor. David also led me through the required paperwork and after I fulfilled my court ordered probation requirements, achieve early termination of my probation. I again, highly recommend David Thomas as a criminal defense attorney.

Dave Thomas is an exceptional attorney! we highly recommend him, for anyone seeking an ethical, caring attorney, who will work to get the best resolution for your case. From our first meeting with Dave to discuss our son’s case, it was clear that he is a passionate advocate for his clients. In our time working with him, we never felt rushed or unheard. Dave always took the time needed to address our questions and concerns and to explain the often-confusing legal process. He was very upfront with us from the start, giving possible outcomes of the case and what we should expect. We appreciated his honesty in telling us what we needed to know and not what we wanted to hear. Well respected both in the community and within the legal system, Dave also has extensive courtroom experience. He has worked as both a district attorney and defense lawyer, allowing him to easily navigate the legal system. Dave is a consummate professional on every level.
