I was referred to Yazdanyar's office by a friend, and I must say, it was the best referral ever. Ms. Yazdanyar and her amazing staff - Sanna, Bahar, Negar, Dara, and Nazanin- were incredibly responsive and informative throughout the entire process. As a team, they handled my case with professionalism and efficiency, making everything smooth and flawless in less than three months from start to finish. I can't thank them enough for their exceptional service and highly recommend their office to anyone in need of expert assistance with OFAC regulations.

Andy was incredibly helpful and understanding of my issue. I was afraid I would be arrested for the court's inability to communicate and process my citation. Andy knew exactly how to communicate the issue and to provide guidance.

I've called 11 lawyers today discussing a legal matter I had approaching. If I had found Andrew first, I would have stopped right after. This man offered his time to get to know my case and offer meaningful constructive advice. In the end, he recommended I handle the matter myself and walked me through the exact process. I would trust him with any case moving forward and he will remain a contact in my phone. If you're looking for an attorney with character, this is the man to call. Thank you Andrew!

Mr Ojeda help me and my child's father come to a closer compromise, in a terribly complicated situation. Mr Ojeda was very straight forward, kind and respectful. He was able to turn the case so that each party was compromised even and every party was as happy with the results as possible in a terrible situation. My Ojeda was calm and collected, was able to help calm me when I was overwhelmed and frustrated. His prices are fair and affordable. I recommend himto represent you in your family law cases. Thank you Mr. Ojeda!

Michael represented me about 10 years ago for a DUI. I got an email from him out of the blue, telling ne about expungement. He offered to clean my record. The fee was a bit higher than I thought it would be, but I trust him after speaking with him, I said yes. Thank God because he filed the paperwork the same day and a few weeks later my case was dismissed! Now and don't have to tell anyone about it when asked. Good for applying for new jobs and now I can refinance my home without getting a higher interest rate that they initially offered, when I answered yes to "have you ever been convicted of a crime?" Everyone should be able to start anew and Michael got the job done!

I hired Michael in the past for a DUO case. I called him recently on an unrelated question and I remembered how well he treated me during my hour of woe. so I decided to make this review. I was arrested for DUi and he took my case. it was a kind of high alcohol case and an accident. no one injured but me. long and short. Michael found a technicality that he brought to the DA. He agreed to reduce my duo to a reckless driving. Michael also saved my license at the DMV. Michael in his firm made it Tolerable the experience, save my license and got me a reduced charge. d

I hired Michael and his firm from a referral from my close friend who had DUI a few years ago and Michael had represented him. He was very informative and gave me a 20 minute consultation about how he works and his experience. That relieved a lot of my anxiety about my case as this was my first arrest for anything ever. Michael went to court and after about a month and 2 court dates, he had investigated my case for dismissal mistakes. Unfortunately I had none, but he had a great talk with the government lawyer and got my case reduced from a DUI to s speeding ticket! Yay,,,I just paid a reduced fine and that was it. No license loss nothin'
I know I would not have gotten it on my own. Thank God for him.

Nick reviewed the specifics of our foreclosure case and was able to give us very useful advice. This was a great free consultation, and I feel confident that if we do need Nick for future representation, he’s available to take my call.
When looking for a lawyer there were many offices that didn’t call back or wasted our tim. We really appreciate the time Nick took with us on the phone and in emails.
Thank you!! Highly recommend.

Nordic Star helped my family and I to keep our home. They were very professional and always available. I worked with another law firm just before reaching our to Mr. Van Parys and they were not nearly as attentive or available. After wasting a lot of time and money, we reached out to Nordic Star and we are so happy that we did. They were able to help us reach a settlement with our mortgage company and we are pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Nordic Star to anyone.

Я не прошёл интервью с офицером и мой кейс был переведён в суд. Я думаю, это произошло из-за того, что я не смог выделить главного из большой информации в моей истории, которую я предоставил на 16 страницах. И плюс волнение. Я первый раз проходил такую процедуру в своей жизни. Опыта не было.
Фирма, которую я выбрал, представляла меня в суде города Лос-Анджелес в течении 5,5 лет. Были переносы слушания (ковид, смены судей) но работа продолжалась всё это время. Было очень удобно, практически вся работа проходила онлайн и не требовала от меня постоянного присутствия в офисе, за всё время я приходил в офис два раза.
Я нашёл эту фирму через интернет. Я написал свою краткую информацию, мне позвонил мой будущий адвокат, задал несколько важных вопросов по моей истории и после этого пригласил меня в офис, где при личной встречи мы обсудили всё подробнее и приняли решение работать вместе. Интуитивно я понял, что это моя фирма и что это мой адвокат и я не ошибся.
Мой адвокат (Anna Tsibel) предложила мне очень удобный способ оплаты своих услуг, выделила главное из моей истории, настраивала меня только на победу, готовила психологически к финальному слушанию, мы собрали много дополнительной информации, и в итоге, адвокат составил очень убедительный кейс используя мою прошлую историю и новую, дополнительную информацию сегодняшнего дня.
В итоге, 1 июля 2024 года, после суда (он шёл 1 час) я получил политическое убежище.
Для меня получение политического убежища в США – это второй день рождения. Начинается жизнь (хотя она уже идёт с 9 июня 2017 года) в свободной стране, я считаю, что в лучшей стране мира ( мне есть с чем сравнивать) и моё счастье в этой стране теперь будет зависеть только от меня самого.
Хочу выразить огромную благодарность Анне Цибель и всей её команде.

I had the privilege of working with Anna Tsibel during a crucial period in my life, navigating the complex landscape of immigration law. Before seeking her assistance, I faced significant challenges, including detention and an impending immigration court trial. Anna's expertise was instrumental from the outset. She not only helped me understand the intricate documentation required but also successfully guided me through each step, ultimately leading to the attainment of my green card.
Choosing Anna Tsibel's firm was a decision backed by both personal recommendations and her reputation in the legal community. Her firm's commitment to excellence and client satisfaction, as evidenced by numerous positive reviews, solidified my choice.
Working with Anna and her team was a seamless experience characterized by professionalism and meticulous attention to detail. Her ability to navigate the complexities of immigration law with clarity and efficiency was truly impressive. The entire process, which spanned from detention release to green card approval, was handled with utmost competence and dedication.
In conclusion, my experience with Anna Tsibel and her firm was nothing short of exceptional. I am immensely grateful for her expertise and unwavering support throughout this journey. I would highly recommend Anna Tsibel to anyone seeking legal counsel in immigration matters. Her professionalism and commitment to achieving positive outcomes are second to none.

We approached Ace Immigration in January 2023 seeking assistance with obtaining political asylum in the United States. Our experience with this firm was exceptionally positive. Their organization was clear and professional. All necessary legal forms were prepared on time and without errors, significantly expediting the process of obtaining the required documents.
Thanks to the efforts of Anna and her team, our family received approval for our case already in June 2024. We are now in the process of applying for our Green Card. We express deep gratitude to Anna and the entire Ace Immigration team for their professionalism and efficiency. We confidently recommend them as high-level specialists capable of tackling even the most complex immigration issues.

More Knowledge Off The Top Of Her Head Than Any Other Lawyer I've Had....Awesome!!
After Christine branched out and started her own law firm I noticed a huge difference in the way my case was being handled. Not only were my questions finally being answered but Christine has answered all of my questions right off the top of her head. She is always on top of the current and grandfathered Workers' Comp Laws. Christine not only fought for me instead of talking me into settling so she could make a quick buck but she got the surgery I needed three times. She also fought to get me on Social Security Disability and won that case as well. Without that I would have lost my disability pension. On top of everything else she fought for me to get one of the hardest settlements there is...100% disability in both Social Security and Workers' Compensation. There is so much corruption with workers faking injuries that 100% disability is almost unheard of these days. Dealing with two different cases and insurance companies for both of my Workers' Comp claims was a struggle for me to keep up and sorted but her firm never skipped a beat. If it wasn't for Christine's vast knowledge of the current and grandfathered laws I would be living on the street now. That's how close I was to running out of money before she took over my cases. Even though both of my cases have been settled, Christine and her staff are always there for me when I need follow up surgery or if I run into problems with the insurance companies. She has always guided me for the best possible outcome without thinking twice about how it would effect her fees. If you need an outstanding attorney to handle your case I would not hesitate for a second in recommending Christine and her staff. I'm lucky to have Christine as my attorney because she is a no nonsense woman who knows the laws. Some of my family and friends would look at me and ask why I cannot work anymore because I am able to walk and sit down for an hour or so but Christine saw right through that and could tell I am in undeniable pain 24/7. If you're looking to settle a false claim to make a quick buck then go somewhere else. Christine is the real deal!

Be warned, extremely shady and questionable billing methods. Seems like once they have your money, they’ll just ignore you. She used to be good in the past but maybe it’s the lack of business and/or greed that she prioritizes money over great customer service.
Would stay far away from this deceptive, manipulative and money hungry lawyer!

I have known Tamara for almost 20 years, and at one time professionally worked with her. I held her in the highest regards. Tamara set up an Irrevocable Trust for our family 15-16 years ago. Prior to the trust expiring, we contacted her to set up an appointment to meet, and go over our options. We received a random bill, prior to our appointment for $600.00 with a description of "RESEARCH." Keep in mind that she represented herself as one of the leading expert in CA in Trust Law at the initial meeting, even stating she taught Trust Law at a local law school.
When we called for an explanation, we were informed that she had to research our options, as what to do at the end of the trust. It was at this point, that we informed her that her services were no longer needed!
We contacted another attorney, who knew exactly what to do, and had the necessary paperwork completed, and electronically submitted to the county in 3 days for $289.00. It took only 1 telephone call, and 2 emails, with no Federal or State tax consequences.
We continue to receive bills as of this review, with accrued interest, violting Rule 2-107 of the Rules of Professional Conduct of the CA State Bar Association. Neither Tamara, or her staff will return telephone calls, or emails, just continued random billing. We never signed a retainer agreement with her concerning this matter. Just a call to set up an appointment to meet with her, which never took place.
Unfortunately this has resulted in a complaint with the California Bar Association, with supporting documentation. We will update this website on their findings.
Again I am so disappointed! It appears that Tamara has now expanded her field of practice, and no longer cares about her clients, as evident by their lack of communication. The office screens calls, and refuses to return repeated telephone messages, and emails. I sent an email directly to Tamara, explaining my position, whereas I informed her if I did not hear from her within 30 days, I would consider the account zeroed out, and closed. Did not hear anything for over 2 months, and all we received was an additional bill with interest.
I would highly recommend to anyone looking for legal services with Tamara, not only to do your due diligence, but also compare the fast response of other attorneys, and fee schedules. It just appears to me that they are out for money, and really no longer cares about the clients, once they have collected their legal fees!
Lincoln once said "the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man." or woman!

I’m glad I called Ferrone and Ferrone to handle my workers comp case, Zack Tomlison and his team always go beyond everything to make sure all your questions get answered and help you through the entire process which can get very complicated when you can’t actually have any interaction with the insurance part. On that note I want to thank Kelly Cazares and Jen Gorbis as they both took their time to assist me with, questions and issues with payments, doctors and medications and were able to communicate with the insurance to find me a quick solution for my problems. Zack, Kelly and Jen thank you again for everything and will definitely recommend you!!! I have a few partners already seeing you.

Scott lost what should have been a very simple case where my son's mother and I shared 50/50 custody and she was looking to leave state and take my son. He did not fight aggressively and had a very dismissive attitude about the whole case. Apparently he felt that it was such an easy case that he did not need to put forth the effort necessary to ensure that the case was won, even though every attorney I have spoken to since has said it should have been a sure win. It's not that I dont believe that he has the talent, I just dont believe he puts forth the required effort. This is, of course, just my opinion.

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.
