Ben Perlmutter & his team provided expert legal guidance that truly made a difference in my case. Their deep understanding of personal injury law is evident in every step of the process. They meticulously analyzed every detail of my situation and crafted a compelling case that highlighted the extent of my injuries and the negligence involved. What sets Ben apart is his genuine compassion and personalized approach. From the initial consultation, I felt heard and understood. Ben took the time to explain the legal process in simple terms, ensuring I was always informed and comfortable. Ben's empathetic nature provided me with much-needed support during a challenging time. Throughout my case, communication was seamless. The team was always available to answer my questions, provide updates, and offer reassurance. Their transparency and prompt responses made me feel confident that my case was in the best hands.

Jeffery has helped me and my family through a long series of family law, litigations, divorce, paternity, custody and adoption procedures. At every turn , he has been very cool about explaining the legal system that often seems unfair and stacked in favor of rich people . we have always been successful, even if things took longer than I had expected. I have referred many friends to him and they all have had the same experience. Jeffery is deadly blunt but very caring and accessible a no BS guy in a world full of chaos.

My son was taken from his mother by DCFS I didn’t know this happened until 4 and half month after he was placed in a strangers house ! And this was the second DCFS case the first one I was the victim that didn’t press charges or show up to the case because my logic was I was the victim in that case so how do I need to show up ? Well I was very wrong and my rights to my son were limited to 1 supervised visit per year! So for 4 years I was basically paying her to see my kid and I was paying large sums of money to do so. When I showed up to court, the court provided me with so free but terrible lawyer I left court and was reaching out to her and her office with no response calling 4-5 times a day for over a week and that wasn’t gonna work! So I literally meet or had phone conversations with every attorney that deals with these type of cases and I only had a good feeling about Matt so I retained him he promised to get me full custody of my son and we came up with a solid game plan and instructed me every step of the way he was also was my therapist and a very patient friend because I too was in the system when I was a child so I was very hard to witness my child going through the same traumatic situation , Long story short Sole physical custody and the mom only gets a 4 hour visit per month this was my dream and it’s a reality now !!!

Very thankful for the time and attention on my case! My case is very complex and multifaceted. Attorney Matt has remained unfazed and calm throughout this whole process even when put in situations he was not prepared for due to DPSS changing things up on the spot at the last minute which was out of his control. Still, he remained professional kind and overall got the job done! My case went to trial, Matt took note of everything I said and shared with him during the months awaiting trial and unloaded it all during trial eloquently. His desire to serve everyone he can is truly inspiring and shows his passion. He is talented and skilled. Communication was flexible and after hours at time which I appreciated. I appreciate his strategy and look forward to working with him in upcoming hearings aswell. As his website says, he pretty much does it ALL! My son is home and well and my family and I are all so thankful! Thank you Matt! Appreciate your time, effort and support. See ya soon and thank you thank you thank you!

Early this summer I was arrested for domestic violence. The police officers showed up and put the entire blame on me even though, I was defending myself. For the first time I fought back because I was tired of allowing this to happen. The police officers didn’t see my side of things and just pointed the finger on me. Once I was released I had a lot to take care of, I was scared, nervous, and had no idea what to expect. So I went on the internet and looked for a lawyer. I came across attorney Rosenfeld and I couldn’t have been any luckier. Attorney Rosenfeld and his assistant Vanessa made me feel like I had someone on my side. After going through domestic violence you can feel alone, down and pretty low about yourself. Vanessa and attorney Rosenfeld both made me feel safe and they basically took a lot of stress off my shoulders. I am in my early twenties, I work 3 jobs, and I recently graduated. So it was a lot on my plate. For myself personally I felt as if Attorney Rosenfeld took this case in his own hands and he fought for me. I am going to be completely honest, when looking for an attorney a lot of the times you may feel as if they’re just after your money. But not Mark; he fought for me, not for the money and I felt that. He was so genuine to me, and coming out of a toxic relationship you fear that people may try to take advantage of you in any way. This whole process was scary, not knowing what’s was to come, but Attorney Rosenfeld was able to fight for me and get my whole case dismissed. I am extremely thankful and blessed to have come across Attorney Rosenfeld. Without him i would’ve had to take a plea, most likely have a misdemeanor on my record as well as having my name tied with domestic violence. I highly recommend Attorney Rosenfeld. He will fight for you as much as he can.

Throughout the case, she represented me even when she had to taged out of my case due to personal issue, she still helped me find a new lawyer. Her price was the most reasonable out of all the lawyers I talked to. She is not the type of lawyer who is trying to squeeze as much money out of you. She is very caring.

If you need an advocate to stick up for you when you have problems with the DMV, James is the guy you need to talk to. This guy is actually in the business of helping people. I was facing a negligent operator suspension and James reassured me that my situation was not unique and that he had the ability to get me my driving privileges back. All of the other lawyers that I consulted with had almost no confidence that we could get my driving privileges back and told me that DMV probation could be possible but unlikely. In addition, other attorneys requested 2-3x the amount James wanted to charge me for their services. I won't disclose exactly how we were able to do it, however James got the Negligent Operator suspension SET ASIDE completely. All I can say is good things about James. He is quick with a response to any questions/follow up, affordable, genuinely cares about his clients, and gets the job done. Choose the law offices of pardoe and associates for your traffic/DUI/DMV/etc problems. I am not being paid for this review, I am just beyond appreciative for the services I received.

I’m writing this review based off of the experience I’ve had so far with James, once everything else is cleared I’ll update my review! So let’s go back to 8/2017 i received a stop sign ticket first ticket in my whole life, i put it aside and shortly after that i had some health issues i needed to deal with, i totally forgot about the ticket because i had bigger issues to deal with. Fast forward to this week, i remembered i had this ticket and hurried and went onto the court website only to find the ticket was in collections now and it said FTA i quickly realize my license is suspended, i came across James law office website and started reading about the services he offers. I called he advised me he would be able to get it taken care of by the end of this week(mind you no other attorney was willing to help me) they all told me i would need to wait 3-4 weeks before anything could be done! But that’s not true James went down yesterday to Compton court got the ticket out of collections and the FTA off my record so the DMV lifted the hold! He now has a court date to fight the ticket! I would recommend James to anyone who is dealing with this headache to use his services! He is the only one that was willing and did come through for me and get at least the hold on my license lifted and the ticket out of collections!!! The price was totally worth it! I will be updating my review after the court date to update what other magic James was able to work with the judge regarding the price of the ticket!!! Thank you again James!!!

James returned my initial call within a half hour. I was calling about 4 old traffic tickets that had resulted in a suspended license. He took care of the suspended license within a few days, and went to court for the tickets. For one of the tickets he got the fine reduced by two thirds, the others were dismissed. He kept me well informed about everything. He did everything he said he would do in a timely fashion. Would recommend him to anyone!

I had never been arrested before and felt terrified and angry and there was so much paperwork and red tape and procedure that I still think it is impossible for a civilian to navigate. Zack helped me to be calm and tackle one thing at a time, was completely knowledgable about what needed to be done and by when and made himself available any time of the day to my questions and concerns.

I am a young entrepreneur and was working recently with another company that had given me a sales contract to sign. Zach was absolutely amazing at going through it with me line by line, making any amendments to the contract that were necessary and actually helped me to understand the contract. He completely had my back and made me understand a legal document that was like a foreign language to me before I came to him! Not only that, he encouraged me to not go into business with this company at the time and to start my own company. I did just that and my new company and my net worth has grown exponentially!! I had such a wonderful experience with him that I wanted Zach to be my lawyer for all my legal work but because he has such an amazing integrity he actually recommended me to work with a local lawyer that I could sit with and comprehend the law with like I did with him now that I live in New York state. Not only is a great lawyer, he is just one of the kindest, most authentic and compassionate people I know.

I was battling great anxiety from an outrageously costly traffic violation, and I contacted Attorney Dudley to discuss my case. He is extremely knowledgeable about the court system, the vehicle laws and codes, and exactly how to proceed. His calm, courteous manner was reassuring and helped to ease my fears. It was very clear from our conversation that he sincerely cared about my case and about providing the best service possible to reach a successful, favorable outcome. In today's cynical world it is truly exceptional to find an honestly caring professional who actually wants to help people, and I am most grateful that I found such a person in Mr. Dudley. While I pray I will never need an attorney again, I cannot imagine counselling with any other attorney but Mr. Dudley. I can't imagine a more professional and courteous attorney, and I'm blessed to have found him. My most sincere thanks to him! Onward to the next step in the process.....

Ms. Bassis is very responsive and super knowledgeable about the appeals process. I had some technical questions and she knew the codes and cases inside out. I spoke with several attorneys before her and she was the first to know the process in detail and who could answer my questions easily and with confidence. I've learned there are lots of details in an appeal that can make a significant difference in success and she knew those details. She worked hard on my case, and even when I thought we had lost she continued to fight. Ultimately, she left no stone unturned. Not only did she want to win as much as I did, she cared and it truly made a difference. You are in great hands with Ms. Bassis. What's more, she's just an overall nice person. Thanks!

She answered all questions from both me and my family and if she didn't know the answer she looked it up. She sent us copies of everything. She took our calls or called back immediately and wrote the most beautiful arguments that it made me want to cry. I wasn't in court for oral argument but I understand she stood up the the Judges and made a beautiful, impassioned argument. She knew the law, she knew the facts and she told them why I should not have been convicted. I truly believe she was successful because she was thorough and caring and that the outcome could have far different if my case been handled by a different lawyer. I hope I never get into trouble again, but if I do, I would call Ms. Bassis.

I was falsely accused of a crime that carried a life sentence. As a member of the military who served overseas, being falsely accused of a crime was something that I never expected to happen. It tore apart my beliefs in the system that I had fought so ardently to defend. I found Ms. Bassis through this site and ever since then my life has changed. Ms. Bassis is extremely good at what she does. She was supremely competent and knowledgeable. It allowed me to be confident and realistic about what was happening to me. My case was dismissed after Ms. Bassis appealed, something almost unheard of in Los Angeles County. The important thing to know here is that Ms. Bassis has single handedly given me my life back and showed me that the system does work and proven that she is an amazing person and an incredible lawyer. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their counsel.

If you're reading this you probably need an attorney. I needed a defense attorney, and attorney King was a good one. Stephen walked me through the process of what was going to happen, and helped me through the entire process from arrangement to my final day in front of the judge. I was afforded an opportunity to move forward in my life from what may have altered my life from what was ultimately a very complicated misunderstanding. Thank you Stephen.

Stephen King was my attorney for the DV case that was brought against me by the Los Angeles DA. He was very professional in and out of the court house. This man was a rock when I was dealing with the exhausting panic that occurs when your life is put in front of the legal system. I would recommend Stephen King to any case.

I contacted and retained Mr. King to help with several matters. He was excellent in all aspects of representation. He is an intelligent and aggressive attorney who was very understanding of the complexities and intricacies of each case and he provided thorough and genuine advice and assistance. I've since referred him several cases and he has provided consistently excellent representation to those I've sent him for help. I would recommend him to anyone facing criminal actions or civil liability.

Back in 2006 I was charged for, first degree murder, second degree murder, and voluntary manslaughter. Winston Mckesson was my attorney on this case. In 2009 my trial was in action. I had a 5 months trial do to these charges. When the jury went in for deliberations of 5 days. They came back with a hung jury. It took 2 weeks for the DA to refile on my case. This time the DA brought up first degree murder and second degree murder. 3 years later in February 2012 trial was on the way. A 5 month trial again. Winston Mckesson, shown the lies of the cops, DNA evidence showed that I was stabbed and that I took a life in self defense. But the DA was able to bring back mansaulter. So, yes I did have to serve time. Winston Mckesson, closing arguments was outstanding. I truly feel that Winston Mckesson did a great job. If not the system po c the DA would have given me life. Winston Mckesson, was also able to take a capital case off the table. One thing we all must know, the DA ane cops, plus the DA's will do anything to get a conviction. But Winston Mckesson, was able to prove lies and inconsistencies to the jury. I recommend Winston Mckesson, too those who are facing the same situation. Thank you all for reading this post.

Mr Kevin Mckesson comes highly recommended. You think that the law is here to protect and serve you until you have a run in with the police, then the whole "innocent until proven guilty" is thrown out of the window. Once you feel the cold cuffs around your wrist , you kind of just feel hopeless. It's not like they tell you how long you're going in for. It was my first run in with the law and my good buddy called Kevin. Kevin went to work right away reducing my bail amount, and getting me out of jail. He got my case dismissed without having to go to trial. I highly recommend Kevin, thank you for your help.

Winston K. McKesson represented me, I was charged with a felony facing jail time and deportation. My case seemed like a complicated mess but as soon as Kevin came on board I felt at ease. Whenever I had a question he was never too busy to take my call or answer an email. Mr. McKesson is one of the most formidable, hardest working criminal lawyer in Los Angeles. His experience in every type of criminal law – from Capital Murder to misdemeanors – makes him one of the most respected attorneys that the State of California has to offer. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone who needs the sound advice and the determination of a criminal lawyer who wants to win.

Jason is an exceptional lawyer. His knowledge and attention to detail helped my case immensely. He used his past experience as a District Attorney to prepare me for the cross-examination in my trial. Normally I feel uncomfortable speaking in front of a crowd, let alone being accosted with questions. However, Jason's cross-exam prep proved invaluable. I was ready for every possible question the prosecution threw at me and was able to answer them confidently and honestly. He was constantly finding new things in my case by going through the details with a fine-toothed comb. If you have the opportunity to work with Jason, you would be remised not to take it.

He teamed up and took the case over with Allison Margolin to do me extreme justice. I had a Marijuana sales case to an undercover officer. Raza worked relentlessly to get me a win in the case. I had a prior strike and was facing about 4 years. With his hard work he had the case reduced to a Misdemeanor, and summary probation until the Community Service was completed. Thanks Again. I recommend him to anyone in need of help to keep their freedom.

Raza and her partner were able to help me with an outstanding warrant of 2 years of which I had no idea I had against me until I found out through a background check done on me. I spoke to other attorneys before and not only were they more expensive but they said it could take weeks, even months to get this resolved. Raza was able to do it on the first day he went to the court house for me! I am extremely happy I was able to find such good attorneys who keep their word and work hard for their clients. If you need legal advice or representation, look no further.

I called upon Raza of Margolin and Lawrence when things looked very grim for me coming up on trial for a felony DUI. I was referred by a close friend who had hired them. Raza was able to minimize my sentence with 3 days left before trial when my other lawyer admitted to me that things didn't look good for me and he had no other recourse. I wish I would have hired them off the bat, would have had an ideal outcome, I'm sure of it. They are especially familiar with judges and courtrooms in LA county

Dan spent 19 months aggressively and strategically working on my behalf. I was charged with felony hit and run and he utilized every angle to gain leverage to our advantage. His diligence in my case got the DA to finally offer up a plea deal I was happy with. In the end my felony hit and run charge was reduced to a misdemeanor with small fine, 90 (45) days’ work release, and 3 years of summary probation. As a result, I was not only able to keep my security clearance, but also keep my job with a leading military defense contractor. In addition I have a very good possibility of getting the misdemeanor charge expunged from my record entirely after only 1 year of probation. Dan's confident and professional demeanor was very influential on me and it helped me to relax and maintain my poise as we appeared in court for multiple hearings. He was very honest and upfront with me throughout the entire process. When I didn't understand something, Dan was very willing to explain it to me in terms that I could understand. It was very clear, Dan not only knew what he was doing, but was extremely good at it too. I am ecstatic with the services he and his staff provided me in my case and the outcome ended the nightmare I was living. I can start living life again without the fear of a prison term. I would strongly recommend Mr. Leib’s representation for your defense needs. Thank you Dan for all the time and effort you put into my case.

George Roland is by far, the absolute best lawyer that I have ever dealt with! I was referred to him by my ex and he highly recommended him to me after I had another attorney, that by the way was the worst lawyer I had to assist me. During my case, my father passed away and he rapidly followed thru to get an advance for me, and I was able to pay for the burial!! I care about him like family!! He has a firm attitude, yet he never behaved superior to me. He works very hard for his clients! He makes me feel as if I'm his only client, and he has many!!! He makes sure that I'm updated on any changes in my case, And he has always been at court with me and gave me an synopsis on what could happen!!! I work for a well known company and he never flinched to go after them to assist me and he has always been present for any deposition! I appreciate him so much! He has even called my mom to check on me after I've had a medical procedure!!! I highly recommend him!!!!

Let me start by saying Saman is amazing! I had a legal matter and felt lost and confused. I got advice from friends and family that are attorneys but was still lost, until I was referred to Saman by a friend. He took his time and really listened to my issues and my concerns. He is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, easy to get a hold of, hard working and most importantly he really cares about his clients.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You

A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.

Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.

When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?

It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:

  • Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
  • Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
  • Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
  • Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
  • Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
  • Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.

What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?

Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:

  • Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
  • Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
  • Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
  • Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
  • Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
  • Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
  • Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.

How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?

Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:

  • Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
  • Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.

The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.

How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:

  • Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
  • Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
  • Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
  • Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.

Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.

Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer

Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:

  1. What is your experience with cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs.
  3. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction.
  4. How many cases have you taken to trial?
    While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial.
  5. Who will handle my case?
    Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work.
  6. How do you communicate with your clients?
    Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer

To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
  • Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
  • Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
  • Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:

  • Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
  • Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
  • List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
  • Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.

By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
