I paid him $5000. Once he received the money he was MIA more often than not. His receptionist gave one excuse after another and would tell me that I had exceeded "talk time" provided by the retainer although my records indicated otherwise. On the few occasions that I was able to speak with him he claimed he had Covid or RSV. I later heard this was one of his standard excuses.

I had the pleasure of working with Pacific Health Law Firm and I can honestly say that their team went above and beyond in handling my case. From the very first consultation, I was impressed with their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine concern for my situation. The attorneys took the time to thoroughly explain the legal process, keeping me informed every step of the way. Their expertise and dedication were evident, and I felt supported throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal assistance. They truly care about their clients and deliver results.

I recently worked with Levi, Jennifer and their team on acquiring a dental practice and was really blown away by both the professionalism and ease with which they conducted their work. Levi is super responsive and I really felt prioritized as a client. I would highly recommend working with Pacific Health Law Group. You will not regret your decision.

My Research after My 2nd D.U.I, (along w/ Hit & Run & being Under the Influence of Narcotics & so-on), led Me to Arvand & Naderi Law Office. At his office, I was well taken care of by Peggy, who walked Me throughout the Process & would always take My Calls w/any Questions I had. Antionette was able to deal w/the D.M.V hearing & fought to save My License. Arvand & his Office absolutely got Me the Best Outcome, No Jail, for My Multiple Charges. I am Highly Recommending Arvand & Naderi Law Office.

We are all absolutely blown away with how professional and thorough, Arvand and his team are. They handled my father’s case with the utmost diligence and care. Seeing how hard Arvand worked on this, the attention to detail and the confidence it gave us walking into that court date is unmatched. We feel protected and in great hands at this law firm. God bless you all, thank you for taking such great care of my father.

From the moment I realized I needed a lawyer, I did some research and found Arvand Naderi because of his outstanding reviews. Now, having worked with him, I feel compelled to write another glowing review for others seeking an exceptional criminal defense attorney. I called his office, overwhelmed by the complexity of my situation. To my surprise, Arvand called me back quickly, ready to listen and take action. He immediately assessed my case, provided a clear explanation of the process, and gave me a realistic cost estimate. I instantly felt I could trust him. Throughout the entire process, Arvand never let me down. He was consistently available to answer my questions, and his honesty and straightforwardness were incredibly reassuring. He never made empty promises—just clear, realistic expectations backed by confidence in his abilities. Before my court date, I was nervous, but Arvand reassured me to trust the process and let him handle the legal work. When we arrived at the courthouse, I noticed how respected he is among other legal professionals. Someone even asked me if he was my lawyer and if he was good, and without hesitation, I said, “Yes—he’s the best.” What impressed me most was his preparation. I saw him reviewing his notes, practicing his points, and ensuring every detail was covered before speaking with the opposing counsel. His presence commanded attention without needing to say much—just a calm, confident demeanor that clearly earned the court’s respect. The outcome exceeded my expectations. I was granted 24 months of diversion with five days of community service, an eight-hour traffic school course, and some driving restrictions. If I complete these requirements, my case will be dismissed entirely. I was terrified of jail time, but thanks to Arvand’s dedication and legal expertise, I walked away with manageable conditions and an immense sense of relief. What sets Arvand Naderi apart is not just his skill but his genuine care for his clients. After the hearing, he checked in with me, offered me his umbrella as it was raining, and even provided a referral for another legal matter I needed help with. His humility, professionalism, and passion for his work are evident in every interaction. If you need a lawyer who is smart, compassionate, and relentlessly committed to getting the best outcome possible, Arvand Naderi is the person you want in your corner. I’m beyond grateful for his help and would recommend him to anyone facing a challenging legal situation. Naderi Law Office, Inc. Law Office of Arvand Naderi

It’s an insane, long story that you probably only watch on a bad Lifetime movie. Let’s just say, Graham saved my life, knowing I was innocent, and protected me against injustice. I had never been arrested before and was referred to Graham by a former colleague. Trust me, and I swear on everyone and everything in my life (a tiny blasphemous), if you unfortunately need a lawyer, go to Graham. Also, his assistants and paralegals and counsel are the best!! :) again, he saved my life and everything I worked for.

Teresa Beyers is a go-to for your divorce and family law needs. I have read some reviews and disagree with the very few bad reviews. She has a ton of knowledge and a great ability to navigate a divorce case. Many reviews are written about charging too much for a divorce, but people don't understand she is more reasonable than most. Divorce is never cheap, Teresa will get you what you want and then some.

I can’t say enough good things about Mark and their team. From the start, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my case. I was expecting much harsher penalties, but thanks to their expertise and strategic approach, the outcome was far better than I could have imagined. Mark guided me through every step of the process, always keeping me informed and making sure I understood my options. They fought hard for me and clearly have a deep understanding of DUI law and how to navigate the system effectively. If you’re looking for a DUI lawyer who truly delivers results, I highly recommend Mark Deniz. They exceeded my expectations and gave me a second chance when I needed it most.

I really waited a few months to write this review just to snap back to reality and actually think about what I wanted to write since becoming a client of this prestigious law firm. If there was a 10 star button I would select it in a blink of an eye. This law firm is nothing short of what it represents "Proper Defense"!!! I came to Sally when she was fresh on her own 6 years ago and man let me tell you that odds were against me and Sally always stayed profession and keep it real told me how it was and what needed to be done. Not once did Sally sugarcoat or attempt to deceive me most in society would. She is very professional and knows what she is talking about and Sally does not play around either. She comes off as a very understanding individual and actually cares about her clients and what truly happens it not about the money for Sally but the name that she stands on. Grateful to say that after a long time waiting Sally was able to successfully win my case and was excited to tell me the news that she woke me up out of my sleep on a Sunday!!! If you want an attorney that gives you that reassurance and quality guarantee for your money's worth look no further Proper Defense is the place to go no question asked and if you feel that your not getting the answer's you need stop letting your conscience get the better of your mind and just be patient. I waited for a whole 6 plus years but the wait is worth the wait and the end result was nothing pure of joy. Thank you Sally for an amazing experience in a rough time of my life.

I would highly recommend Ibrahim Dbouk if you are looking for anyone to represent you. He is a honest, hardworking, and professional attorney hands down. He helped me get my DUI felony expunged very quickly and efficiently. I never thought I would be able to get it expunged. He’s always there to help answer any questions and always ensured that I understood the process and potential outcomes. Thanks to him, I now have a clean skate to start from and new opportunities to explore. Immensely grateful!! Thanks Mr,Dbouk!

From the very beginning of the process, where I had a phone conversation with Stuart, we felt very confident that we had chosen the right attorney firm for our case. Later, when Juanita took over the responsibility for our case, and started interacting with us, the confidence and trust just kept growing each time we communicated with her. Finally, the actual process of meeting with Juanita in order to go over everything and finalize our case went extremely well. Both Juanita and Stuart demonstrated outstanding professionalism as well as expertise throughout the entire process. In conclusion, my wife and I know exactly which attorney firm to contact for our next possible case. //Behrouz Aghili

I was badly hurt at work and I was lost on what to do, I didn’t know if I had a case or not. I was worried about losing my job or the cost of a lawyer consultation. BUT when I got in contact with RP law group they offered me a free consultation and Raj was patient, kind and understanding of my situation. He told me I had rights and he would fight for me and win against my employer. He did! And I am very happy with my settlement amount. All thanks to Raj and his team. Me lastimé gravemente en el trabajo y no sabía qué hacer. No sabía si tenía un caso o no. Estaba preocupado por perder mi trabajo o por el costo de una consulta con un abogado. PERO cuando me puse en contacto con RP Law Group, me ofrecieron una consulta gratuita y Raj fue paciente, amable y comprensivo con mi situación. Me dijo que tenía derechos y que lucharía por mí y ganaría contra mi empleador. ¡Y lo hizo! Y estoy muy feliz con el monto de mi acuerdo. Todo gracias a Raj y su equipo.

Workers’ compensation is a long process. My attorney guided me People who has workers comp case needs to be patient because it takes a long time no matter what it is a bureaucratic system. The system is one sided system is written for employers my attorney guided me through this very complex system number one you will not get any treatment from any doctor in Worker’s Comp. unless you go treat on your own, the treatment you get in workers comp is very mediocre very bureaucratic and you feel like you’re not being treated. They just buy time and the time passes fast and you still not, my attorney had to struggle to get me anything and everything. It is a hard process. I recommend RP LAW GROUP 100% Very happy with services from RP law group if you have an injury and you feel you injured at work, make sure you take consultation. Do not try to handle it yourself.

After an accident where my wife was hit from the rear and pushed into another car at a stoplight, we were uncertain what to do. After contacting Maggie at Revere Law Group, all the stress and worry went away. Right away she told us to let her take care of everything. She referred us to a chiropractor and informed us of the necessary steps for conclusion of this situation in a positive way. We did not have to pay out of pocket for the medical services and in the end, everything was better than we otherwise could have expected. Maggie, thank you very much for working so hard even during Covid to take care of us.

I'd like to give a little context so you can understand what he's done in my life, I was going through a few rough years getting out of HS case after case was popping up I didn't understand why at the time but I was abusing alcohol or anything I could ,Mario not only helped with my case but took personal interest in my recovery. I later caught a gun case in my 30s my bail was at 1M and at the time there were issues in the family it was so nice having someone I could trust representing me he told me he'' was working on getting me out of here'' next court date Mario got me released on OR! I've been doing well for 2 years while out I've been sober have a family we just went back to court on it and I'm getting Probation, if you or your family are in a jam I remember how it feels he's as amazing as everyone says!

What a Domestic Violence Lawyer Can Do for You

A domestic violence lawyer provides legal assistance to individuals involved in cases of domestic abuse, whether you are a victim seeking protection or someone accused of domestic violence defending against the charges. These lawyers help with obtaining restraining orders (protective orders), representing clients in criminal court, and handling related family law issues such as child custody, divorce, and visitation rights.

If you are dealing with domestic violence, a lawyer can help protect your rights and navigate the legal system to ensure your safety or defend you if you’re falsely accused.

When Should I Hire a Domestic Violence Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a domestic violence lawyer if you are:

  • A Victim of Domestic Violence:
    • Filing for a protective order (restraining order): If you need immediate protection from an abuser, a lawyer can help you file for a protective order, which legally requires the abuser to stay away from you and refrain from contacting you.
    • Divorce or separation due to abuse: If domestic violence is a factor in your relationship, a lawyer can help you pursue a divorce or legal separation and ensure that you are protected throughout the process.
    • Child custody and visitation issues: A lawyer can help you secure custody of your children and limit or restrict the abuser’s visitation rights to protect the safety of your children.
    • Filing criminal charges: If you are pursuing criminal charges against the abuser, a domestic violence lawyer can work with law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure the case is handled properly.
    • Assistance with safety planning: A lawyer can advise on the legal steps to create a safety plan, including securing temporary housing, and taking steps to protect you and your family.
  • Accused of Domestic Violence:
    • Defending against criminal charges: If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, a lawyer can defend your case, challenge the evidence, and represent you in court. If possible, the lawyer can help get charges reduced or dismissed.
    • Challenging a restraining order: If someone has obtained a protective order against you, a lawyer can help you contest the order to prevent it from negatively impacting your life, including your employment and child custody rights.
    • Dealing with family law issues: Domestic violence allegations can affect child custody, divorce, and property division. A lawyer can represent your interests in family court and ensure that your parental rights are protected.
    • Avoiding criminal record implications: A lawyer can work to minimize the impact of the allegations on your record, which can affect your employment, housing, and future legal matters.

Hiring a lawyer at the earliest stages can help ensure your rights are protected and the case is handled effectively, whether you are seeking protection or defending against accusations.

What Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Do?

A domestic violence lawyer provides various legal services depending on the specifics of your case. These responsibilities often include:

  • For Victims:
    • Filing for protective orders: A lawyer can help victims of domestic violence obtain temporary or permanent restraining orders, which provide legal protection by restricting the abuser’s access to you and your children.
    • Representing you in divorce and child custody matters: Domestic violence often leads to divorce or separation, and a lawyer can represent you in family court to protect your assets, secure custody of your children, and arrange spousal and child support.
    • Criminal representation: Lawyers work with law enforcement and prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against the abuser, ensuring that you are informed and supported throughout the legal process.
    • Safety planning and legal advice: Lawyers provide advice on how to stay safe legally and can assist in securing temporary housing, providing guidance on how to leave abusive situations safely.
  • For the Accused:
    • Defending against charges: A lawyer will build a defense by investigating the case, gathering evidence, and challenging the claims made against you. If necessary, the lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties.
    • Challenging protective orders: If a restraining order has been placed against you, a lawyer can contest the order and present evidence to defend against it, aiming to minimize its impact on your life and reputation.
    • Handling related family law issues: Lawyers help defend against domestic violence allegations in divorce, child custody, and visitation disputes, working to protect your parental rights and reputation.
    • Preventing long-term consequences: A lawyer will work to protect you from the long-term consequences of a domestic violence conviction, such as a criminal record that could affect employment, housing, and more.

How Are Domestic Violence Lawyers Paid?

Domestic violence lawyers generally charge for their services in different ways depending on the case's complexity and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many domestic violence lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. Hourly rates are common for both criminal defense and family law matters.
  • Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as filing a restraining order or defending against a straightforward domestic violence charge, some lawyers offer a flat fee that covers all legal work related to that service.
  • Retainer: In complex cases, such as those involving criminal charges, divorce, and custody disputes, a lawyer may require a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
  • Pro bono or reduced fees: Some domestic violence lawyers provide pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services to victims of domestic abuse who cannot afford legal representation.

It’s important to discuss fees during your consultation to ensure you understand how much your case will cost and what payment options may be available.

How Much Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a domestic violence lawyer depends on the complexity of your case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal work required. General cost estimates include:

  • Restraining orders: The legal fees for filing a protective or restraining order typically range from $500 to $2,500, depending on whether the case requires a hearing.
  • Criminal defense: If you’re defending against domestic violence charges, legal fees may range from $2,500 to $15,000 or more, depending on whether the case goes to trial and the severity of the charges.
  • Family law issues: Legal fees for divorce, child custody, and other family law issues related to domestic violence can range from $3,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
  • Hourly rates: Domestic violence lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour for their services, with more experienced lawyers charging higher rates.

Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand the total cost of legal services.

Top Questions to Ask a Domestic Violence Lawyer

Before hiring a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the right experience and approach for your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with domestic violence cases?
    Ensure that the lawyer has handled domestic violence cases similar to yours, whether you’re a victim or the accused.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, flat fees, or a retainer, and ask for a detailed cost estimate.
  3. What is the likely outcome of my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Domestic violence cases vary in length, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what might cause delays.
  5. Will I need to appear in court?
    Ask if your participation in court is required, and how the lawyer plans to represent you during hearings or trials.
  6. What steps should I take to protect myself or my rights?
    Whether you’re a victim seeking protection or defending against allegations, ask the lawyer how they will help you navigate the situation.

How to Check the Credibility of a Domestic Violence Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable domestic violence lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for domestic violence experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in domestic violence cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients say about their experience with the lawyer.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have been involved in domestic violence cases.
  • Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for certifications or memberships in family law or domestic violence advocacy groups, such as the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • For Victims:
    • Details of the abuse: Prepare a detailed account of the abuse, including dates, locations, and descriptions of any injuries or threats.
    • Police reports and medical records: Bring copies of any police reports, medical records, or photographs that document the abuse.
    • Legal filings: If you have already filed for a restraining order or been involved in any legal proceedings, bring copies of those documents.
    • Questions about your safety and legal options: Be ready to ask about the best steps to protect yourself and your family, as well as what legal actions you should pursue.
  • For the Accused:
    • Details of the allegations: Prepare a detailed account of the incident or allegations against you, including any evidence or witnesses that support your defense.
    • Legal documents: Bring any legal documents you have received, such as a restraining order, criminal charges, or child custody filings.
    • Questions about your defense: Prepare questions about the legal process, possible penalties, and how the lawyer plans to defend your case.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation and provide the best possible legal advice.
