Noreen and her team are amazing. They helped me get my status approved under VAWA because of unfortunate circumstances. They stay in touch and communicate with you as fast as possible. I definitely recommend their services. I even moved away from Los Angeles and they were still able to help me and my case. Thanks to their guidance and I'm on my path to receive my green card and then my citizenship. 5 stars all around.

A wonderful person to meet. Michele was not only strong and an intelligent attorney but also someone that could help understand what’s best for their client. I don’t think I would have ever found my way without someone as proficient as her. Someone who could get things done and actively communicate in dire circumstances. I appreciated everything she’s done and glad to move forward with my life with the help I needed. Thank you!

I hired Patricia for a few different services. I had 2 prior convictions. She helped me vacate both convictions. She also helped me get my green card (which was not easy with my type of convictions) I travel to Mexico about 2 weeks ago and on my way back I was detained. They paroled me and send me to deferred inspection. I was in fear that they would put me into deportation proceedings. But I hired Patricia and she saved me once again! Now I have my citizenship application pending which she also helped me out with. I can’t wait to be a citizen and live my life in peace and prosperity. Thank you Patty!

Ms. Corrales and her office are truly exceptional, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! In 2019, my father was detained by immigration, which drastically altered our lives. As a high schooler at the time, I witnessed the immense suffering my family endured while desperately seeking answers and legal assistance to bring our father home. We went through several lawyers during this tumultuous period, all of whom proved unhelpful and only drained what little resources we had left.
Then, we were fortunate enough to encounter Ms. Corrales. From the outset, she showed genuine concern for our family's plight and provided unwavering honesty regarding my father's situation. She wasted no time in offering us clear guidance, answering our questions, and presenting viable options. In our hearts, we firmly believe that Ms. Corrales was a divine blessing during our darkest hours. She worked tirelessly to secure my father's release, and since 2019, she has remained steadfast in advocating for his case, never once wavering in her commitment.
For nearly five years, Ms. Corrales has remained dedicated to our cause, tirelessly exploring every avenue to keep our family united and prevent separation. Now, half a decade later, I can confidently say that my family and I are eternally grateful to Ms. Corrales. When I was 17, it felt as though my family was being torn apart, and my dreams of pursuing higher education to support my disabled mother and siblings seemed out of reach. However, thanks to Ms. Corrales, our family was reunited, and I had the privilege of obtaining a Bachelor's degree with my entire family by my side at graduation and a new hope of becoming a Medical Physician.
Ms. Corrales is not just a legal advocate; she is a beacon of hope for the underrepresented and a champion for immigrants chasing the American Dream. To Ms. Corrales and her dedicated team, I express my deepest gratitude for their unwavering dedication, passion, and tireless efforts on behalf of immigrants like us. Thank you, Ms. Corrales, for being our voice and for making the impossible possible.

Mr. Joseph and team handled a difficult personal injury case for me for the past few years which has come to a conclusion in my favor and thanks to Mr Joseph and team was able to recover additional funds.
Mr Joseph has gone out of his way to make sure I had the treatment I needed through-out and made time to listen to my concerns and communicated at every step of the case. In addition Mr. Joseph has gone over and above in helping to advise in other legal issues and I feel in the conclusion of this case I have found a friend.
I trust this team implicitly they are highly professional and knowledgeable and I am happy with the result. I cannot say enough great things about this firm.
I highly recommend the Law offices of Pius Joseph

When I was in the market for an attorney to handle a highly complex case that had the potential to jeopardize my career as a firefighter, I reached out to several attorneys. Most of them gave off a corporate and impersonal vibe, making me feel like I was just another number. However, I was fortunate enough to come across Anne, who quickly made me feel at ease and confident that I could successfully navigate my case and protect my career. Anne never sugarcoated anything and was completely transparent about the potential outcomes, given the complexity of the situation. Nevertheless, she fought tirelessly and relentlessly to secure a much lesser offense than what the prosecutors initially offered. Thanks to her efforts, I now have the opportunity to continue my career in the fire service. I am forever grateful to Ann for her expertise and dedication, and I highly recommend her to anyone working for a government agency. She possesses an exceptional skill in resolving DUI cases with favorable outcomes for her clients.

I made a bad choice and got myself in trouble. I was arrested for DUI and didn’t know where to go for help.
I reached out to Ann and she was so compassionate. She walked me through unfamiliar DMV steps that allowed me to be able to keep my license with restrictions.
She helped me navigate a confusing legal system. Ultimately my case was dismissed after successfully completing a set of court mandated requirements.
If you find yourself in a similar position, talk to Ann. She can help

Finding Ann was truly a blessing! I was in dire need of assistance for a DUI case and didn't know where to begin. I was afraid, nervous, and very ashamed of my mistake as I had never been in a situation like this before. I spoke to multiple lawyers before finding her and none of them felt quite right. A few of them were very impatient, rude, and dehumanizing. I'm so thankful I didn't stop searching until I found Ann. She is compassionate, reliable, thorough, honest, and is always available to answer any questions. She always ensures you have a full understanding of the process and makes you feel safe and heard. She truly does everything in her power to help you! Ann was very blunt about all of the possible outcomes of my case. She is so incredible, she was able to get my DUI reduced to an exhibition of speed! I am so incredibly thankful for Ms. Gottesman, she is truly amazing! If you ever need a DUI lawyer, I firmly believe she is the best choice!

No one really wants to be in a situation where they *have* to hire a lawyer, but life led us down a path where we had to hire an attorney for my mom, and we are SO, so happy that we worked with Andrew. We were referred to Andrew by our immigration attorney to help solve a traffic misdemeanor charge that could impact her pending immigration application. We were very stressed and scared, and Andrew took on all of our burdens! From the first call, to check-in calls, to emails with him and Jasmine (his very professional, warm, and responsive Director of Operations and wife!), to our final wrap up calls, Andrew and Jasmine were there for us. Andrew was professional and demonstrated his knowledge of criminal law and the court system. He was very clear about the steps we needed to take to resolve our case and made sure we were 100% on board with his advice. Most of all, he understood our concerns and fears and was so supportive in his communication (something we didn't expect from a lawyer, ha). He gained my mom's trust on day 1. With his help, her charge was reduced to an infraction and ultimately dismissed - something Andrew committed to from the first call. We could not recommend him more!

The Leventhal law firm is top notch. They never stop fighting for you. From the moment Andrew took my case I knew he was on my side and he would do everything in his power to advocate for me. My case drew on for almost a year, but Andrew's hard work and tenacity got it dismissed. Over that year the Leventhal firm never made me feel that my case wasn't important or that they were blowing me off. They gave me the attention and responded to my questions in a timely manner, that didn't add to my stress level, from an already stressful situation.
When you are sitting in the court galley waiting for the judge to call your case, Andrew is the lawyer that everyone else wishes they hired. Don't be that person that didn't hire Andrew. Give yourself the best chance for a favorable outcome by hiring the Leventhal Firm.

Andrew and Jasmine did an excellent job not only with the objective knowledge of the judicial process, but also the support and emotional side of things, always staying by my side and keeping good communication throughout, in the worst of times. Ultimately his firm was able to get the case declined to be pursued against me. Truly a blessing to work with this firm!

I was working with a top lawyer on AVVO but they were not performing at all, someone else recommended me to move over my DUI case with Mark Khalaf.
He is an outstanding lawyer!!! I was charged with a DUI and a driver license suspension. He fought for me every step of the way and I've got it reduced to a wet instead. Also, he won my DMV hearing which was the most challenging part of my case. He is an expert on DUI's with a license suspension, I believe that he’s one out of a hundred lawyers that can help you win a DUI with a license suspension or a case that other lawyers might overlook and give you no hope at all. Also, Lorena his assistant is wonderful, she's helped me greatly to answer a ton of questions and they answered my calls every single time! I am so happy that I made the decision to move over my DUI case with Mark Khalaf and his team, it was a life saving decision for my driving record to move over my case! I have my driver's license back and I am moving forward with my life, until today I firmly believe that it was the best move to work with Mark Khalaf and I highly recommend him!

I'll start off by saying, I've talked to at least 20 different lawyers. I had a very extensive case for my civil harassment restraining order. I had been sexually assaulted, threatened, coerced, manipulated, and psychologically tortured by my former boss. Kian spent an extensive amount of time to review my case. He was patient, informative, and genuine. I would trust Kian to fight for me. Kian's transparency was refreshing in this line of work. On top of his professional excellence, he is also fair with his fee. It's very apparent that he is not greedy with his time, resources, and fees. I would 100% recommend Kian to any of my friends and family. Kian gives me faith in humanity that there are good and honest lawyers.

I met Kian through a chance meeting after receiving an infraction ticket; being new to the country, I wasn't versed in local laws. Kian was very kind and helping me understand my rights, the jargon and what my options are. He walked me through every step of the way, despite how minute my issue was. I highly recommend him, and thank him for his time.

Tom is everything his website says he is, tenacious, prompt, well mannered, well spoken, well dressed. Everything is gone through with a fine tooth comb, no stone is left un-turned. Mr Medrano dots all his (i's) and crosses all his (T's). I fought a Life sentence for first degree murder and if not for Tom and his relentless team of professional's, I wouldn't be here today writing this post.

I've heard really bad things about the ticket clinic. Although Jonathan never personally kept me informed, I did have someone from the ticket clinic Inform me every time that he appeared in court. At the end of the day, he ended up winning my case! I'm ashamed to say that I have another issue with the law, and I'm going to contact the ticket clinic and ask that attorney Jonathan Stout be the one that represents my case. He is awesome!!

How do you write a stellar review for an attorney you've never met? Like this...
Jonathan was assigned to my case, I suppose, by Ticket Clinic - his place of employment. I was issued a very real ticket for a very bogus charge which would have cost me in excess of $600 dollars and a bunch of lost time had I not made the choice to fight it with the help of Ticket Clinic. Jonathan fought and won my case at the Compton Courthouse, which is a place I would not like to go to on a good day. Two Compton cops issued me a ticket in San Pedro, of all places, and it was, at the time of the "incident", them against me. With Jonathan's help and only $200 out of pocket on my part, we beat the rap. A very good investment indeed. Thank you Jonathan, you have my eternal appreciation.

I contacted Devin over 2 years ago because it was some false information put in my credit report which was denying me of getting a place to live. When the credit bureau found out that I had a lawyer (Devin) guiding me in the right direction, the negative impact on my credit report was immediately removed. I went on with my life but Devin was still on the case. After 2 years had gone by I get a surprising email from Devin stating that the company was ready to settle. The nice amount of money that I received quickly after the settlement really helped me out a lot. Can’t thank Devin enough. He was my best choice.

Initially, I was apprehensive to approach Devin but once I had the first conversation with Devin, he not only exhibited a great subject matter expertise but also listened to me patiently and with a lot of compassion. He gave me a comprehensive legal advice and the final results were favorable. I would recommend Devin's services to any employee fearing a big corporation. Good luck!

Richard Nahigian came very highly recommended to me via other lawyers in the same field of a different type as well as word of mouth. His experience in Los Angeles alone is vast and is he is revered in other states as well. The odds were so against me from previous felonies and he was so helpful in coaching me through realistic expectations and analysis of the law. He always answered my calls and took the time to calm my nerves. He had a great repertoire with the other attorney in the courtroom as well as the judge. I truly am surprised to see such a negative rating and review as by word of mouth alone I have heard so many success stories, my own included, which is why I hired him.

I had some legal issues with the federal government and fired two attorneys before finally being referred to Richard Novak by one of my attorneys who I kept as council. Richard is excellent at what he does and truly cares about his clients best interests. He always made time for me and never once made a big deal out of it. He doesn’t over bill but at the same isn’t cheap, but is worth every penny. He’s aggressive but yet extremly calculated and strategic. He listens and also gives solid advise. He’s bullet proof and if your having any type of serious criminal or civil federal matters don’t look anywhere else. This is the attorney to hire and keep in your phone book for the rest of your life. A solid and honest man who will do exactly as he says...and looks at the bigger picture not the short run. I wouldn’t hire any other attorney for any serious matters, Richard Novak is by far one of the most professional and respectful attorneys I have met. He doesn’t have a god complex like most lawyers and he is still very human and humble, but extremly good at his craft. He mangaged to settle my issues with the federal government in just 2 months when other lawyers I fired simply had been dragging their feet to just bill me more and more and accomplished nothing. Your lucky if you ever come across another attorney like Richard Novak in your life time. Hes an anomaly in the legal world. If you chose to retain him you won’t be disappointed by any means. He’s a lifer like I stated. Keep him in your phone book for life. Highly recommended

When I was looking on this "find an attorney" - websites, I got recommendations that did not even had a website.
He was flying by with all the other's, not only with a website, but also with the highest degrees and expertise/experience. First of all, very friendly and I do enjoy his personality and character. And only after reading about his status, I knew to hire him. My case was actually a simple one with a "fight on my campus". And even though he mentioned, that usually they'll go on with the case after a personal phone call, this time they actually didn't. Just wanted to do some training and that's it. Mr. Miller even thought that it was better than he expected, especially for a "strict" court of San Fernando courthouse.
I honestly have foreseen that, because the court in the city of San Fernando is known to be a "strict" one, which I would call more hungry for power, as they likely know, that the most cases there cannot simply afford an attorney. Therefore, Miller did an amazing job, and this courthouse don't want to be involved in this anymore.
Highly recommend him, and I'm pretty sure that he'll be able to work with a special case, that it was really hard to find an attorney for. Thank you, just thank you.

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:
-
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. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
