Loghmana Law Firm is top-notch. I was in a car accident in August of 2023 and even though it took almost 14 months for my case to settle, patience paid off and I received a satisfactory settlement. If you are in any kind of accident, this would be a law firm to seek help from.

I was wrongfully stopped for a traffic issue which turned into them illegally searching my vehicle and booking me a for a pistol. No felonies no record or anything. They tried to get me in four felonies which dropped down to 1. Allison made sure to press the issue on my behalf that it was an illegal search. She stayed consistent with me. And made every court date. They eventually dropped the case. I would recommend Allison to anyone. She’s tough, eager, and knows what she’s doin. I felt very comfortable she pulled up on me numerous of times in person to discuss my case. I love her and I can’t say enough. Thank you Allison.

I regret ever hiring Soleymani Law Firm to represent me in my family law case. At the time, I was new to the legal system and trusted their promises that they would fight for me and my son. Unfortunately, their actions did not align with their words. My initial consultation with Deborah Soleymani was full of assurances about how her firm would stand by me. However, once they took my $10,000 retainer, their level of service completely changed. The attorney assigned to my case, Emily Hetu, was unprofessional, lacked communication skills, and did not advocate for my son or me in any meaningful way. The worst part? She did not even show up for a crucial hearing. Instead, they sent a substitute attorney without any notice, leaving me completely unprepared and vulnerable in court. This attorney had no background on my case, did not defend me, and ultimately, because of their incompetence, I lost in court. On top of their negligence, they managed to burn through my entire retainer in less than two months while doing minimal work. To make matters worse, they had the audacity to claim I still owed them money for a single hearing that cost me $10,000—an outrageous and unjustifiable fee for the lack of service provided. This law firm lacks integrity, professionalism, and basic ethics. They do not fight for their clients; instead, they take advantage of people who are already in vulnerable legal situations. If you’re considering hiring them—DON’T. I wish I had read a review like this before wasting my time and money on them. There are far better family law attorneys out there who actually care about their clients. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from Soleymani Law Firm.

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!

I could not have asked for a more caring and knowledgeable Attorney. Ms. Bassis was trustworthy, knowledgeable and caring. Would highly recommend. 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.

It's a shame I haven't written a review sooner for Law Advocate Group and Mr.Doron Eghbali himself. I came across Mr.Eghbali's law firm at the lowest point in my life where the last thing I could handle was a frivolous lawsuit brought against me by a company that I should have actually been suing instead. Long story short, from my initial consultation, Mr.Eghbali showed compassion not only towards my case, but to me as a person. In a world where attorneys are vilified and made to seem heartless, Mr.Eghbali was a warm and understanding individual that made me feel like I was in good hands. Over the course of the next 2 years, Mr.Eghbali, his trusted colleague and I fought the lawsuit tooth and nail and were able to secure a favorable outcome that lifted such a huge burden off my shoulders that I literally felt like I'm getting a second chance at life. Mr.Eghbali and everyone involved with Law Advocate Group went above and beyond for me and I am forever grateful to them. This could have gone a different direction for me as I just found Mr.Eghbali online and had no real vetting of him as a person but it went absolutely the best that it could go and to a certain extent, helped to restore my faith in humanity at a dark time in my life where I was especially vulnerable. I cannot recommend this compassionate and competent attorney strongly enough and I will entrust all my legal needs to him if ever I find myself in the position to do so again.

Always answered our calls... Grant fought,, and he Fought Hard!!,, It was comforting, knowing that my wife and I were not alone,, Grant and staff were in our corner....He got us $ALOT OF MONEY$!!...Even after it was all done and over, Grant "Personally" checked in on us and made sure that we got a new place to live, and we were in good shape, to pick up the pieces and start a New Life...

Attorney Hossein Berenji helped me a lot in my divorce case. He guided me through the documents in detail about child custody and the divorce itself. He is an expert divorce lawyer and always thinks as a family man himself of what is the best for the child.

Loghmana Law Firm is top-notch. I was in a car accident in August of 2023 and even though it took almost 14 months for my case to settle, patience paid off and I received a satisfactory settlement. If you are in any kind of accident, this would be a law firm to seek help from.

This lawyer took on my case and was waiting for documents from the hospital and life insurance policy. Never communicated with me about anything. I called their office about 10-12 times and are always told I will get a call back that day. Well it’s been 3 months and not one of my calls have been returned. Very unprofessional!!

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 hired Alan after a recommendation from my old boss for a vandalism case in LA county due to me and my sisters ex boyfriend getting into a fight and me punching his glass-paned door window trying to hit him. I got a letter from the Van Nuys court house with the charges and gave that letter to Alan and he worked it out better then i planned by me just paying for the ex boyfriends insurance deductible and charges were dropped like they never even happened. Alan had my case handled quickly and very professionally. You might think hes intimidating but that works to his advantage in court but he is truely there for his clients hands down i should of never used another Attorney after using him big mistake. He is by far above and beyond the best Criminal defense attorney out there.

I had Alan Fenster as my hired attorney for my criminal case in Orange County. I had a case that was filed almost a year later and Alan didn’t forget and he would always contact me to remind me and he would let me know what would happen prior to my turn. I had multiple cases misdemeanors in different courts that he had gotten transferred to one court consolidating it with my felony case from a diff court. I was referred to him and I would not have changed my mind in my decision to appoint him as my attorney. He charges a flat rate once hearing your case details and once looking over the charges. He is sort of intimidating haha but he doesn’t deal with the little details in between and goes straight to the point with the evidence filed against me. He is very knowledgeable and experienced and honestly you can sense the professionalism as well as the comfortable and experienced demeanor he presents himself in court to feel a little relieved from the stressful and complications the case becomes. He is fully aware of what to expect and he is respected by others in the courtroom. He always considered my situation to prolong my case until after I gave birth And he kept the stressful headaches of the case feel like a load off my shoulders considering my case was filed months later. I love my decision with Alan Fenster and I would always go back to him if I ever need any other assistance IN any other criminal defense cases. thanks!

He's smart and understands the system very well and helped reduce my Felony DUI with injury case to a misdemeanor. He went out of his way to help me get in contact with people that would help my defense. I highly recommend him for he is very knowledgable, experienced and will help you vastly at the end of the day.

Deborah was an absolute disaster to work with. She was busy on two trials and said as much and apologized when I told her that I could never get a hold of her and she never responded to calls. She charged me $14,000 for one month of horrible work product. She has line items like text message .75 hours. She said she was giving me a discounted rate which should’ve been a red flag but then just was merciless on that hourly. More importantly, when she was preparing my response, I would tell her the details, and she would write it up with blatant lies that I could never defend in court. I had to rewrite everything she did. I am in shock. As I was calling around to replace her numerous lawyers had things to say about her that I wish I knew before I hired her. Buyer beware.

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.
