Absolutely Incredible service!! They’ve helped with a few tickets I’ve had over the past eight years, including a recent one for my teenage son. I was super concerned about how it would impact insurance with him getting a ticket, but they helped me resolve it more than I thought was possible.
I’ve recommended them to many friends and business clients, at least a dozen in SD and all of whom have been very happy with the results. I’ll definitely continue to recommend them!

I have been very happy with Elizabeth Aronson's office regarding the speed of communication, helpful and friendly staff. Most important she knows how to have cases dismissed . I have repeatedly used her for my son and me to have speeding tickets dismissed on at least 3 different occasions if not more over the years. Highly recommend her for any traffic related tickets. Thank you.

I've worked with Sara off and on over a 10-year period in a challenging and complicated divorce situation. Sara has always been helpful and responsive. She has remained calm and kind even when I wasn't. She has been honest and never gave me false hope or set unrealistic expectations. Instead, she has helped me understand the strengths and weaknesses in my case so I could make informed, clear minded decisions. Sara knows the family court system well and the people involved in the system. She also understands its limitations. The unique thing about Sara is that she's a good person ... and I can't say this about other family law attorneys I've worked with. She has looked out for me and my family's best interests while other family law attorneys I've used always managed to prioritize their financial interests above all else.

Greg helped me with my BK and was absolutely fantastic in every way. Very honest and helpful, even got a creditor who came back years later to stop harassing me for requests of payment. Was very responsive to everything i asked and had the experience to make the process as stress free as possible. Thank you Greg!

Greg restored my faith in the legal system and I would recommend him to anyone/everyone who's recently been in a car accident. I was in an unfortunate accident two weeks ago and was in shock when I called up my car insurance company and was immediately pushed into giving a recorded statement. I felt steamrolled by my insurance company (they are not your ally), especially since they immediately pronounced me 100% at-fault without any defense (and without even letting me know). I needed an expert coach to get me through the process and defend my rights. I started calling attorneys and after 15 calls of bureaucratic rejections I felt defeated. These large legal "corporations" would have a rep answer the phone, punch my info into a computer, and then say, "Sorry, but we don't cover minor accidents". I was literally about to give up (and cry), but then Attorney Hood picked up the phone. Yes... he, the actual attorney, called me back and asked for my full story: what happened, why did I feel cheated, etc. He was compassionate, patient, and infinitely helpful. He started sending me legal terms to use and lawsuits to reference. He took the time to actually show/explain to me my rights. I can't thank you enough Greg! Highly highly recommend!

Erik Jenkins and April Hu did an excellent job of representing me in my child custody case. They were aggressive in their litigation with the petitioner and her counsel and made decisions that were in the best interests of my family and my child resulting in a 50/50 custody schedule. Previous judges and our mediator had made my path to extend visitation with my child very difficult and the representation I had had in the past was not the caliber that was necessary to see through the deceit of the petitioner and her attorney. Erik and April were able to navigate through the conflict and the result was increased time with my child. Everyone I interacted with in Erik’s office responded promptly to my questions and my concerns. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a trustworthy practice that is highly knowledgeable of the law and will be committed to your needs.

We were facing a giant complaint and the Jenkins team helped us with a powerful and cost friendly defense plan that ended the lawsuit with a dismissal VERY early in the process! These things can be very stressful and damaging and Erik had the patience to keep us calm and confident! The entire Jenkins team was focused and professional and sharp and even occasionally light hearted when the moment was appropriate. This balanced constitution was both effective and comforting!

I wish I had hired Mr. Jenkins since the beginning of my custody case. He is very knowledgeable in family law and will handle your case as a priority.
He always calls, emails and text back when needed, has always kept me informed of my case and always prepared and filed documents on time.
I can go on and on but the bottom line is he is a awesome attorney and I would highly recommend him to represent you in your family law case.

Ryan is amazing. Getting scary letters from the IRS is not fun, and he helped to walk me through even worst case options so calmly that it helped me find my center and remember that even if the worst case was a reality, it was going to be okay. He’s not money hungry, he’s generous with his time, and is an all around great human to spend time on the phone with (in person I’m sure as well, my experience was just over the phone for now). He was also incredibly responsive and got things done at lighting speed, which these days is so precious and rare. 10/10, Highly recommend!!

Ms Hersch has helped me with various issues over the past several years. She is honest and has the highest ethics. Besides being highly competent what I really love about her is that she really cares about me. She makes that clear in the way that she listens and takes time to arrive at the very best approach to solve the problems I set before her. I would never want to use anyone else. She is the best.

Our case was a bit unusual but Jeff listened and immediately gathered all the facts and details of the case and proceeded to explain the entire process in a format we could understand. He's responsive and best of all you're not dealing with middle people like Paralegals, he personally takes the time to answer your question in a timely and professional manner. We definitely recommend his service if you're looking into Bankruptcy and need solid legal advice.

I contacted Carla to represent me in what turned out to be a very prolonged, contentious probate case involving my mother's estate. From the beginning Carla was understanding, kind, compassionate and professional. She took a personal interest in my situation, always thinking about my mother, who passed away before this case was settled. Through the course of the case Carla always gave 100% to this very complicated civil litigation. She fought vigorously to defend my mother's dying wishes. Carla's hard work and dedication resulted in a positive outcome. I am so thankful that I chose Carla for my attorney. I highly recommend Carla to anyone who is seeking representation in a probate/civil matter.

I found my self in a very difficult position financially due to a bank that made mistakes funding the SBC loan I was approved for. Mr. Zarcone stepped in and did so much more that what was expected to help my family and I. Of course, outcomes are important. But what is equally, if not more important, is knowing that everything was done that could have been done in your case. Mr. Zarcone. cared so much about the our situation, that after our dealings where done, he helped draft a letter to our representatives bringing attention to the issue in the hopes that other families with small businesses don't get treated they way we did. If you think about it, this is not only a good deed of a kind person...but selfless in that it could negatively affect the number of potential clients available to him. What mattered to Mr. Zarcone is that we had qualified and diligent representation. I thank him for that.

Sara Davison is the most outstanding lawyer and her efforts have profoundly changed my life by securing for me primary physical custody of my son. She worked around the clock on my case, responded to all my emails and calls on that very same day or the next morning and was incredibly reliable, adept, eloquent, forceful and successful in my child custody modification proceedings. She won my emergency ex parte hearing then won again at the formal custody hearing. Her writing skills are excellent and her competency in the courtroom is unrivaled. Having had a terrible divorce attorney in the past, Sara Davison Esq. has restored my faith in lawyers, she’s not in this profession to collect your retainer and give minimal effort in winning your case. She truly cares about her clients, she gave me fair pricing and excellent counsel and representation. You should not hesitate to retain her services.

I am beyond grateful for the exceptional legal support I received from attorney Joel Baily. After enduring relentless harassment and threats for over six years from a neighbor, I finally found the courage to seek a Restraining Order, and Joel really made all the difference in that journey. His honesty, integrity and knowledge were evident from our very first meeting; he took the time to listen to my story with genuine compassion, making me feel heard and understood.
Joel’s impeccable knowledge of the law is truly remarkable. He navigated the complexities of my case with skill and precision, always keeping me informed and confident in our strategy. What impressed me most was his unwavering legal perseverance. He fought tirelessly on my behalf, even responding after hours, demonstrating a fierce dedication to securing the justice I so desperately needed.
Thanks to Joel's relentless efforts, I am now able to live under the added protection of a Restraining Order, and for that, I will be forever grateful. If you are looking for an attorney who combines expertise with compassion, look no further than Joel Baily. He is a beacon of hope for those in need of great legal assistance.

I am a California attorney. I have known George Arvanitis for thirty-four years. I appreciate his great skill and see his work ethic as extraordinary. George is knowledgeable. He is honest. And George is an exceptional communicator. His cross-examinations and closing arguments are legendary. I refer my clients’ personal injury cases to George, because he handles those cases skillfully. George reported his progress on my referred cases to my clients and me. Therefore, I know the care he takes to provide the best outcome possible for his clients. If I ever need the services of a personal injury attorney, I will call George. I most highly recommend George to any person needing a personal injury attorney.

I retained Maria's services to assist with the asset portion of my divorce after my previous attorney basically did nothing. Maria familiarized herself with my case immediately and took to the task. Without going extensively into my nightmare case here's the short version: my ex used any and every tactic and dirty dealings to avoid compliance with my court order to sell our home, pay monies, return my vehicle and provide documentation. Maria was on top of it and many times ahead of the next play. She listened, timely returned my calls and provided a detailed accounting of how my money was being spent. Every court appearance she came prepared and ready. Ultimately she stopped the games that were being played and we were victorious! If you need smart expert & professional legal assistance...choosing Maria Taylor is definitely your best move. Thank you again Attorney Taylor!!!!!

Thanks to Gary Barthel and his team, he helped fight for me to get a better outcome and navigate the process to be able to complete the court requirements to reduce the punishment and ultimately expunge my record.

I am a combat veteran, with 10 years of service. In the fall of 2020, I received a call from the Public Defender’s office asking me if I was going to use their services. I told her that she must have the wrong number. She confirmed that she in fact had the correct number. She went on to tell me I was being indicted on two felony counts for attempting to exercise my 2nd Amendment right to purchase a shotgun. I thought, “This is some kind of joke.” It was not.
In the summer of 2016, I was taken to a hospital by the police for an alcohol related incident. Prior to leaving the hospital for home, I apparently signed a document acknowledging that I could not purchase a firearm for 5 years. I don’t remember this or really anything about that night.
After becoming sober, four years later in December 2019, I attempted to purchase a shotgun so I could teach my son to shoot. On the 7th day of the 10-day waiting period I received a phone call that the gun store could not release the weapon to me. I didn’t know why. Two months later I was contacted by an investigator asking why I tried to purchase a gun. “You are barred from owning a firearm” he said. This was news to me. He explained that almost four years earlier I was given what’s called a 5150. This means that a doctor had determined that I am a danger to myself and others. I don’t remember ever hearing those words from a doctor.
I was given a public defender who, in my opinion, did nothing but try to intimidate me into taking the prosecutor’s deal. I refused because I honestly did not know that I was a barred person and was willing to fight for my 2nd amendment right, even if that meant I might become a convicted felon. It seemed like the DA’s office and the public defender both just wanted me to go away. I was getting irritated with the way the whole situation was developing.
Finally, I was fed up. I started asking around for any effective attorneys who truly believed in our constitutional rights and that wouldn’t try to extend the case in order to increase their bill. A veteran neighbor suggested Attorney Gary Barthel at the Military Law Center. Mr. Barthel is a veteran himself and so I felt he could understand the nuance of this case. What he discovered blew my mind.
After retaining Mr. Barthel, he immediately started to examine the evidence and determined the 5150 determination, that I was threat to myself or others, was not properly assessed in accordance with California law. Additionally, Mr. Barthel also determined I was denied a required hearing to appeal California’s 5-year ban to purchase a weapon. Based upon the results of his investigation, Mr. Barthel was able to convince the District Attorney’s office to dismiss the charges.
It took Mr. Barthel only a few months to get all charges dropped. Attorneys are expensive so it is important to find one that is efficient. Mr. Barthel was able to win the case and since it was done so quickly, my total bill was very reasonable. I was also refunded the unused portion of the retainer. I don’t plan on ever needing a criminal defense attorney again, but if I do, I’m calling Gary Barthel. He is very competent, and I would highly recommend his services.

Erica came highly recommended by one of her colleagues. Needing an attorney for family issues is stressful while also feeling so vulnerable. She handled my situation with honesty and integrity. She would calm me down when I was very upset (true story :)) and helped me process each situation as they arose. I highly recommend Erica for any of your family needs!

4 years ago I was facing serious consequences for an incident that changed the course of my career and life. Thanks to Gary Barthel and his team, he helped fight for me to get a better outcome and navigate the process to be able to complete the court requirements to reduce the punishment and ultimately expunge my record. If you're active duty or a veteran in any kind of trouble with civilian or military law I would recommend getting in touch with military law center.

She is the best Attorney I have ever known ! , she went above and beyond and never stopped.
My daughter was going through a very rough divorce and had started with another well known law firm and they were so lax and had done a very poor job in representing her . , she was in tears and asking me to help her find a good attorney , I contacted many a discussed the case they all just said come in and we will talk . I then called Ms Harris and she talked for about an hour and was so reassuring , my daughter and I went in and it seemed like she was an angel sent to us by heaven , she took on this case that had already went to mediation and we thought was hopeless , she stepped in and took it all the way to trial , I thought I was watching a movie she took over and just had me in aw , her ex had hived a well known attorney and we thought we were beating a dead horse so to speak but she went in the court room as she did with us before and by the way she always was good in court , and she started off with penalizing the other attorney for not have filed and serving all the proper paper work , ( now remember this attorney was from a lg well known firm ) and that set the stage , they could not speak at all , she then proceeded to present her case for about three hours , it was amazing , it should of been filmed for a how to movie , at the end it was better than expected all of her demands were granted , I just have to say if you don't choose Ms Harris you would be making a big mistake , her daughter is her assistant and is just as good as her mother and together they are the best attorney team I ever ! , they pay attention to all details and it dose make a difference , they gave us peace in our home and saved my grand daughter from harms way , thank you again !!!!!

We had some difficult and legally grey issues we were dealing with and Sam did a great job of walking us through all of it. He frequently tells us what we might need to do in the future, but never tries to sell us on estate planning products that we don't need yet. I feel that he is very trustworthy and honest.

Our case was a bit unusual but Jeff listened and immediately gathered all the facts and details of the case and proceeded to explain the entire process in a format we could understand. He's responsive and best of all you're not dealing with middle people like Paralegals, he personally takes the time to answer your question in a timely and professional manner. We definitely recommend his service if you're looking into Bankruptcy and need solid legal advice.
