Mr. Vikas Bajaj is the absolute best criminal defense lawyer in San Diego. He will fight for you every step of the way. It’s tough to find someone in the legal system who isn’t just a book-smart salesman. Words can’t describe how thankful I am that he and his team fought for me until the bitter end. Do not hesitate to hire him. You won’t be disappointed if you give his firm a call.

It is an honor to give Attorney Martin Lijtmaer 5 stars. He has solved a huge problem and source of heartache for our family, which was my partner’s criminal case. His expertise as well as his tireless, well-focused and continuous work made it possible for our case to be successfully resolved. His communication with the entire family was always one of great support; his positive attitude helped keep our spirits up. He approached my partner’s case with compassion and kindness and that meant a lot to us while we were going through such a tough time. Attorney Martin always and personally answered all our phone calls. Any text we sent him was answered within a couple hours. He never lets you down by not responding. His presence gives you such confidence and hopes that your case will be resolved. By the end, we felt like he was part of our family. He works by your side. Most of all, he is such an honest person. His monetary charges are fair. No hidden fees. Other attorneys out there, once they receive your money, they put your case to the side in order to take care of the next. Also, he is 100% bilingual (Spanish), which was a definite help during our case. I highly recommend Attorney Lijtmaer. Thank you so much, Attorney Martin, Our family is eternally gratefully to you

TLDR; Martin Litmaer is an excellent attorney who will look for creative ways and fight for your rights to resolve your situation. Hes compassionate, and sees you as a person and not just another case number. His fees are also extremely reasonable give how stressful, disasterous and damaging (financially, mental health, etc.) legal issues can be to one's life, and he understands this. Together we fought a felony charge over the span of 1 year which resulted in the charges being dropped and case dismissed. More below: I little over a year ago, I received a call from the LAPD notifying me that I was being charged with a felony (for a crime I didn't even commit, it just happened that the law had recently changed without my knowledge and I was found out of compliance). Prior to consulting Martin, i had a brief interaction with a public defender (AKA public pretender), who was completely unhelpful. I was then referred to Martin through family. After our consultation I immediately hired Martin. He consulted me on the legal process, and together we went to the courthouse to "turn myself in" and clear the warrant (because, I wasn't actually arrested committing a crime). Martin convinced the judge to release me without bail (saving me $4k bail bond fees on an originally set $40k bail). Over the next year, we had a dozen court dates together and multiple phone calls and texts, devising a strategy to resolve this (what I call it, an injustice). Ultimately, after pivoting a couple times and trying a couple strategies, we found one that sticked, worked on that together and the case was dismissed.

After being arrested I knew hiring the best attorney would be the best thing I could do to help myself. I did a lot of research and contacted several attorneys before I decided to meet with James Phillips. He was even recommended by some of the other attorneys I talked to. He demonstrated a very good understanding and proficiency with my situation and assured me that he would do whatever it took to obtain the best results possible. With professionalism and courtesy and a thorough knowledge of the legal system he was able to get my DUI charge sent to pretrial diversion. He was also able to dispute my DUI with the DMV so I received my full license back with no limitations and no penalties fines or points. I could not have asked for a better outcome and a better attorney.

Katz & Philips law firm is exceptional. “Don’t try fighting by yourself…They helped me a lot and I don’t have the words to thank them.” I was offered a public defender and so glad I turned that down. The outcome of my situation could have ended bad. As it turned out the case was dropped to the quick actions by this firm. There was so much understanding and concern of my situation and I would recommend them to anyone. There is no second choice for a good lawyer.

A couple years ago, I had my previous employer fire me based on my health. I immediately reached out to Houman and his team and they welcomed my case. It was a long journey, but Houman and his team kept in contact with me consistently. I even was able to text him, often, asking about any updates from his end. He always kept me in the loop and I was never a step behind. His paralegals also were amazing. When the case neared its end, they spent a lot of time with me in sorting out through the finalization of my case. I had great faith in them and I would genuinely recommend Houman and his team to anyone. Filing a lawsuit and handling the legalities can be extremely time consuming, but I never had a doubt that I would not see the light at the end of the tunnel and seek justice. Thank you so much, Houman. I appreciate all your hard work.

I can validate what others have stated on this site. I met and hired Dan in 2014 after releasing my first attorney. Needless to say, selecting him to represent me in my high profiled case was one of the best decisions that I ever made. Besides knowing his way around the courtroom and legal arena, Dan is the definition of what a human being should be and something his fellow attorneys should emulate. He cares so very much about his clients and puts forth countless hours on their behalf to make sure that they are well represented. I was facing almost five decades of incarceration and am now experiencing the free world in large part due to Dan Greene. You won't be disappointed if you select him to represent you.

It has been a long road for me for the past 5 years on probation. It was really tough, but with the help and expertise of Dan Greene I was able to survive and successfully completed my probation on May 10, 2020. He did an EXCEPTIONAL and PHENOMENAL job from start to finish. Dan cleared the pathway and guided me properly all the way till the end. He saved me from all my miseries especially with my immigration status as permanent resident that I could be facing deportation if not for Dan. It was really remarkable and turning point in my life and my family. He gave me life and freedom. June 6, 2020 I received an email from Dan informing me that he already filed the petition for dismissal of my case on June 3, 2020. I was so pleased and very happy about it that I did not even have to follow up with him. Everything was just automatic for Dan without me reminding him of anything. I am so proud to say that Dan has always been "GREAT and SUPERB". He is a tough lawyer with a heart. I truly admire his work ethics and excellency ever since he handled my case. Without any doubt in my mind I can assure you 100% that you can never go wrong with Dan if you need legal assistance. He is brilliant and top notch. It is hard to find a lawyer with that type of caliber like Dan. He is the "BEST of the BEST". Every penny you pay is worth it. He really work hard for it. He is very honest and sincere in dealing with his clients. With all that being said, surprisingly on August 11, 2020 I received another email from Dan with court documents attached congratulating me for my case was dismissed. While I was reading his message it was a total relief on my part and tears of joy. I told myself that finally everything is all done and now I can move forward for the better for only one reason because of the "GREATNESS" of Dan Greene. Thank you so much Dan for everything that you have done to me and my family. I will always remember this for the rest of my life because, without you I would not be here with my family right at this very moment. My wife and I are truly grateful and lucky to have you not only as our lawyer but as a true friend and most importantly you are already part of the family. It was an amazing journey with you although we had some rough times along the way but at the end of the day we got the best outcome. By the way, congratulations to you for receiving the award as 2019 Trial Lawyer of the year for San Diego. You deserve it. We are so proud of you. Keep up the good work as always. God bless you and your family. We hope to see you soon.

I've never spent this amount of money - in one go - on anything, but I've also never been more satisfied, in my life, with a purchase. Literally... I've never been happier with anything that I've spent money on. Dan Greene is a genius, (literally more than) an expert in his craft, a warrior in the courtroom, and a good man. I consider myself blessed by God to have ended up with Daniel F. Greene as my attorney. If you or a loved one is under fire from the San Diego District Attorney's Office, as I was, then I would unequivocally recommend Dan Greene & The Law Offices of Kerry Armstrong.

Chris handled a case of mine over a year ago, and throughout the year, some things came up that Chris really had no responsibility to address as he had successfully done his job with a fantastic sentencing outcome but he always took the time to follow up with me. I've had another criminal attorney who was supposed to ranked very highly and the fact is after the case was over, I couldn't get a word out of him unless it involved paying more. Chris is a stand up attorney, remembered the facts of my case for an entire year and when he was able to help, he did so, and as a secondary outcome, we applied for and got an early dismissal from probation and on my record a year after. Chris is by far the best attorney I have worked with and I highly recommend him. When I am able to get my case expunged in two years, Chris will be my immediate go-to.

As soon as I placed a request online for some questions about my case, he immediately texted me back while I was at work during my nightshift and we had a conversation on what to expect going forward. Right there I knew that he was the right lawyer for the job. He could of just waited until the next day or two to call me back, yet because of his responsiveness to my situation, I hired him. He stuck by my side through the long drawn out process which was out of our control. Whether your situation is big or small, Keith will fight tooth and nail for you. His straight to the point attitude and aggressive nature will ease your mind knowing that you hired the right lawyer for your particular situation. Give him a chance and call him, you won't be disappointed. Keith is a great lawyer. He's my super lawyer! Google him and you will see his background of accomplishments and achievements.

Faced with a multiple count complaint, I was looking at a possible 20+ year sentence. That, plus my poor health, just about guaranteed I might never see the light of day again. My first impressions of Mr Barone were of confidence, compassion and experience. In short order, Mr Barone had prepared a defensive battle plan for my case. When he presented it to me there was no sugar coating or outrageous promises. He explained his plan and warned me that I would need to be involved. Mr Barone and his staff ensured I was kept up to date on the court proceedings throughout the case. He also explained any and all questions that I or my family members had about the case. He is a very personable man and easy to talk to. To my advantage Patrick did not take no for an answer when dealing/ bargaining with the Prosecuting Attorney. He stated to me that he thought I should not be incarcerated, and that is exactly what he fought for and won for me. I truly believe he negotiated a second life for me and I will be forever grateful for that. I would also like to mention that Mr Barone removed his attorney's hat and graciously offered advice on counseling that has been invaluable.

I called countless lawyers for help and everyone told me all the awful outcomes to expect and that my life was forever ruined- then I called Sherwood and was immediately put at ease with Austin and Cynthia.

I first met Keith Rouse when he became my lawyer in 2013 when i was facing numerous felony charges and i couldnt be more pleased with the outcome of my case. Keith Rouse is well respected in the courtroom by the judges, D.A's, and his defendants and believe me when i tell you that that is VERY IMPORTANT. He always has his whole heart in his cases and defends til the end no matter how long the case is in court. I never had any problems getting him on the phone, returning my calls, or meeting me to discuss my case or my concerns. There would be no other lawyer i would even consider defending me other than Kieth Rouse.

Hired Mr Saunders and from the very first meeting I knew that he was the one for the job. Mr Sanders made payment arrangements for me and made it very affordable. I have confidence that he is a pro in every aspect of his practice. My case is a criminal matter and real knowledgeable representation is what is demonstrated by Mr Sanders. His past performance in tons of cases showed that I have chosen the right man for the job. Misses Sanders is also a great help when visiting the office to make a payment or get an update. All I can say is they are an excellent legal team.

I had a frivolous charge against me, by a coworker who was notorious for assaulting peers. On the verge of being fired from his job for frequent assaults, and in an effort to save his job, the coworker filed 'unwanted touching' charge against me, as I pushed him away during an assault. The Richland police were unhelpful, unwilling to accept facts, or even call our boss or other coworkers who would confirm the situation. The prosecutor was unwilling to investigate. Christine was very helpful. I appreciate her legal knowledge, skill in the courtroom, and her excellent communication ability. This charge has now been dropped, due to Ms Bennett's efforts. Many thanks!

I have a great deal of respect for Ms. Bennett and how intuitive it was to work with her. Working with Ms. Bennett made my first experience with the law pleasant. Ms. Bennett showed the confidence and persistence it takes to be the best attorney. I felt at ease explaining the most difficult day for myself because I knew she was going to try her best to hear me and help me. When the court suggested fines and jail time, Ms. Bennett suggested alcohol treatment and therapy. 4 counts against me turned into a case dismissed, 8 months sober, and a whole new perspective on myself and my own career.

Words can't fully express my gratitude and appreciation for Mr Dylan Greenwood. I hired Dylan in 2018 for a DWI case. Dylan was ontop of my case and kept me well informed throughout the process. Dylan and his team worked very hard to have no negative impact or points on my license. He is a very respectable, knowledgeable and honest attorney, with experience handling DWI's and other criminal matters. I'm very happy I made the decision of choosing him. I would recommend him to anyone!

Scott Johnson and his partner Deric Orr have gone above and beyond. My case started in March 2015. It is now June 2021. Everything is finally over. Every step of the way, one factor or another slowed my case down.. Although the efforts that these two beautiful men put forth showed their worth time, and time again. I went from facing 8+ years in prison for a crime that happened before 2008, to being sentenced with 15 days Jail and 15 days Work Crew. I don't know the full details of all the effort they put in, although the only bad news I was ever given was that something happened to slow the case down.. Whether it be a vengeful prosecutor, or someone else's screw up. Every step was arduous and stressful, I've been a ball of anxiety... But these two never gave up. I paid an initial sum of $6,000-$8,000 (forgot the amount).. And not a single time was a requested or required to pay more. I believe the effort put into this extremely arduous case far exceeds the price that was paid. Based on anecdotal evidence, Scott Johnson and Deric Orr are the best Defense team in all of Eastern Washington.

Ms. Medvin is the One and only lawyer I would recommend and a exemplary professional. I now understand why she's one of the best lawyers in the DMV area. I had very minimum interaction with the Judge, she was my shield. She even fought for me to get a down-graded charge from the initial charge. My initial interaction with her was brief and straight to the point. She recommended a few tasks for me to complete to potentially assist in confronting the given charge, and she went to work to build on my case. Her knowledge of the law and work ethic is second to none and her communication throughout my case was excellent. Regarding any legal matters, I would highly recommend her services to everyone. You're in excellent hands and safe with her.

If you need a criminal defense attorney, look no further. Don't make the mistake of scrolling past Marina Medvin and not immediately reaching out to her. I'm going to do my best to describe Mrs. Medvin in mere words. Unfortunately, there's not enough words in my vocabulary to properly describe what an amazing, hard working, dedicated, intelligent, caring, spirited, talented, feisty, and tenacious fighter she will be on your behalf! You won't find better, period. She knows the law better than most people who've been practicing twice as long. If you want to feel safe knowing that you have the best to legal representation you can get, you will not regret hiring Marina Medvin. I can't make that any clearer.

He skillfully coordinated his defense by meeting with many people in the various offices instrumental in ensuring a fair trial for a very unusual and difficult case. He worked tirelessly and effectively with the Sheriff’s office, doctors and medical specialists, and prosecutor ‘s office to make the outcome of our situation as good as it could possibly be. Both he and the entire Invictus Law staff were supportive, responsive and understanding during this difficult time. I can unconditionally recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance.

Kevin did an outstanding job with my case, he was great at communicating and explaining everything that was going to happen. He was always there when I needed him and alway returned my calls or emails in a timely manner. He will have your back and give you the best result in my opinion. When I was arrested my bond was outrageous but Kevin was able to get it SIGNIFICANTLY lowered. When Kevin get his hands on the “discovery” of the case he reviews it very closely and WILL find any discrepancies. It was truly a honor to have Kevin as my lawyer, it is because of him I am here to write this review as a free man. Thank you Kevin Marcilliat for all you have done!

I consulted with numerous lawyers concerning a scenario that was ongoing. I hired Bruce Mason after reading about his selection to Super Lawyers for several consecutive years, and meeting with him. My situation compares to being lost in the jungle only to find a lion who becomes my aegis. I no longer suffered from noctambulation or constant worry because Bruce Mason was superb. He is breviloquent and eloquent simultaneously and has substantive work ethic and integrity. He is also well respected by his peers, and I suspect his intellect far surpasses that of most lawyers. If you have something going on that is incredibly important to you, I suggest hiring him. He can handle difficult cases with ease. He certainly left me in a better place after winning my case, and the only thing I would change about him is not having been in the situation I was in to begin with to need someone like him. I wish the world had more people like him in it.

Last year, my son was charged with four offenses including DUI, Mr. Mason was recommended by a colleague who works in Wilmington and had experienced a similar issue. In our initial consultation, Mr. Mason engaged immediately, listened carefully, and made solid recommendations for moving forward. We experienced many twists and turns during the case, including pleadings during the pandemic. Mr. Mason's knowledge of NC statutes as well as his effective navigation of the New Hanover County court system gave us great confidence in his services. Throughout the process, he always returned my calls promptly, explained our legal options thoroughly, and offered excellent advice. His patience and approach ultimately resulted in dismissal of charges. Without reservation, I can recommend Mr. Mason's legal services.

Megan made the whole DUI process a lot less intimidating. She gave me all the info on what I needed to do and got me all the DOL paper work instead of me having to round it all up. She took my case to a Jury trial because the prosecutor thought he had it in the bag. After she told the jury all the evidence it was dropped to a lesser charge. I was happy with the outcome and would hire Megan again.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
