Do NOT Use this firm theyve scammed me upwards of $10,000 by collecting the money and have not done a single thing and they don’t communicate for months upon months read the other reviews as well. They do the same thing to others I was promised so much and they have not done a single thing. My lawyer didn’t even show up to my court date and said he sent somebody else. I have my life endangered and he was supposed to help me get a restraining order. It has been two months since he has gotten back to me. I have had Sean as my lawyer for a year and he has only lost me everything with no communication.

She also did not inform me of many important things like not talking to the insurance claims adjuster who was representing the person that hit me. She did the minimal amount of work for me and did not seem to care at all for my well being. I wish I would have taken the advice of friends in the la area to seek out new representation. If you want a lawyer who is thorough and passionate about your needs do not go to Ms Gorin. Being very unreachable and only being able to communicate to her through her paralegal Karina was very unsettling as well.

I talked to about 10 lawyers before I decided to go with Celia and have really been amazing. Celia and her team are great, excellent at communicating, and have been an enormous help. Even with a stressful situation like child custody, Celia has been incredible with her expertise in family law.

The Nieves Law Firm is exactly who my father needed to help settle his case. It started with our intake person Aaron and quickly moved to getting assigned an attorney, Michael Levinsohn who is well qualified to handle restraining order cases. It was great to know his years of experience and being bilingual. We hired the Nieves Law Firm based on our research and many days/weeks looking for a Law Firm that would be willing to help with my father's case. We got turned down many times and felt taken advantage of even for a brief introduction from other law firms, BUT we were lucky to speak to Aaron who assured us that The Nieves Law Firm can help my dad. The outcome is never guaranteed but we were hopeful after talking to Michael on the phone that he would represent my father that best way he knew. Attorney Michael Levinsohn is understanding, compassionate, communicates well, and will fight for what is legally right. Michael represented my father in court with great professionalism while the other attorney made unnecessary remarks, Michael stood by my father and our family. Our case was very complicated, Michael worked the case in a fair manner and gone above & beyond our expectations. We were able to reach a resolution that favored my father without continuing any further ligation. Jo-Anna Nieves was able to help resolve difficult questions we had and we appreciate her taking the time to assist. Her staff was friendly, quick, and helpful to get things moving along from beginning to end. We highly recommend The Nieves Law Firm for anyone who has a restraining order case or issue, they helped my father and I'm sure they can help your case too. God bless.

Kevin Gordon is the most incompetent attorney. He did not answer my calls or emails. He did not pay attention to details in forms when filing with the city and documents were returned, then he did not follow through, but tell me that he was busy with something else. Even the opposing party threatened him with reporting him to the bar. He drafted a settlement that did not protect me as his client. At the end, he just told me to get another attorney. Wow.

Very unhappy with the outcome of my case. It was handled unprofessionally. And l fought with the attorney the whole way. I had to file with the BAR twice. I hired Legacy and was told will take it to trial. During mediation l was told to settle today or l could lose everything, because they were not going to represent me in court. Then the attorney settled the case against my will. I was forced to settle for considerably less than the original trust stated.

We brought Ryan on after we were with another Attorney for over 2 months. During this time the previous Attorney didn't consult with our son at all in person. We hired this amazing Attorney Ryan Couzens AFTER he made an in person visit with our son. Yes he took the time to meet with and listen to our son prior to receiving retainer fee. Hired 9/22/24 for sentencing hearing on 10/3/24. Ryan knew more about the case than previous council and argued the case like he was representing his own son. He did what I think an Attorney should do (communicated) with us and our son the entire time. He took the pressure off. I just can't say enough. Our son was looking at a prison sentence and Ryan the miracle man came through for him. Our son received a short jail sentence and probation. We are and will be forever grateful to Ryan James Couzens.

Ryan is an exceptional and practical attorney. Ryan represented me after picking up my case from another attorney at his prior firm. With his prior experience as a DA, he understands how the other side thinks and plays their hand. He has intuitive ideas and creative angles in framing your defense. His responsiveness was far above my expectations and made me feel understood and heard through out the process. One thing I noticed early was his ability to listen to his clients. Often specialists in a field speak over you and lack the ability to connect with their clients in an everyday common manner but Ryan often stops himself and says “you had a question, go ahead”. That made me feel taken care of by my attorney. Support this man and his ability to serve his clients, you’re in great hands!

I hired Mr. Shapiro at a horrible time when my life fell apart very publicly because of a poor choice of mine. David was very helpful at shooting straight with me, as well as teaching me, my wife, and my family about the different nuances, definitions, and options of the legal system (which is a disappointingly designed system). I will never need to, but would hire him again in a heartbeat. He is unbelievably responsive to communication at all times, and his firm is filled with kind, helpful people. If you are looking at this review, best of luck to you, Shapiro is a good choice.

I recently had the privilege of being represented by Ed Flores in a high profile street racing case, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his outstanding service. From the very beginning, him and his team demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and a commitment to my case that went above and beyond my expectations. From my initial consultation, it was clear that Ed and his team were experts in criminal defense. They meticulously reviewed all the details of my case, identifying key areas to challenge the prosecution’s evidence. Their knowledge of the legal system and past case precedents was instrumental in building a strong defense. Throughout the entire process, I was kept informed about every development in my case. Ed made sure I understood my options and the potential outcomes at every stage. This transparency and open communication provided me with peace of mind and confidence that I was in good hands. What impressed me most was the strategic approach taken by Ed. They left no stone unturned, conducting thorough investigations and consulting with experts to support my defense. Their tenacity in the courtroom was evident as they presented compelling arguments that ultimately led to my case having the half a dozen charges dropped which included a felony as well. Beyond their legal expertise, the team at Flores Law Group was incredibly compassionate and supportive. The ultimate result speaks for itself – my street racing case was dismissed, and I can now move forward with my life without the burden of a criminal record. This outcome was a direct result of Ed's hard work, dedication, and exceptional legal skills. I highly recommend Flores Law Group to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney. They are truly the best in the business, and I am forever grateful for their help. If you find yourself in need of legal representation, look no further than Flores Law Group – they will fight for you every step of the way!

I was referred to Mr. Flores by a friend. This was a blessing in disguise, from the start Mr. Flores and his staff were kind, honest, and informative. My case was regarding a car accident with a DUI driver hitting the vehicle I was in. The case was complicated due to many factors. Yet, I never felt like Mr.Flores attitude or approach changed during this time. Each conversation with him and Ruth felt genuine and full of information. We ended this 3 year case with him recommending a great book to any parent new or old, “ The Conscious Parent”. Thank you for your help and for the great recommendation. I feel lucky to have been represented by Mr. Flores.

Michael Chastaine came in my life when everything seemed to go against me. I got indicted by the FBI on a federal case in the Eastern District of California. Let's say I am not the individual that put too much trust in authorities and lawyers. Little did I know that there are stand up individual like Michael still out there. In many occasions he took time out of his personal life to meet with me, help me and guide me through such a difficult process. Not only he represented me through the whole journey, but went far beyond his duty as criminal defense attorney to assure I would get the best outcome. At the end what made him an outstanding attorney is the fact that he is a human after all, he understand that we all are and treat you like one. He has a solid reputation within the federal system and maintain good relationships with every moving part of the government. With his experience he was able to come out with the best strategy and guidance to give me the best possible outcome in my case. Highly recommended criminal defense.

I contacted Jacob after the salesman who sold me my car at my local Mercedes-Benz dealership recommended that I contact a lemon law attorney. My 2023 Mercedes AMG C43 gave me nothing but trouble: the check engine light came on very frequently, and my car was in the shop every other month. Most recently, the car had been in for a full four weeks (28 days exactly) after having to be towed. I received no updates from the dealership during that one-month period. Furthermore, every time the car went in for extra service, I had to fight the dealership for a loaner car, which was highly stressful and angering. To make matters worse, I had opted for a C43 after briefly driving an EQS 580 I strongly disliked that I had received as a result of an error that Mercedes made when I had actually ordered a different car that had arrived in the wrong interior color. So I was massively overpaying for a faulty C-class vehicle, adding insult to injury. Jacob told me he was confident that by sending a demand letter to Mercedes, he could get me out of my overpriced C43 lease, but he didn't think I would recover much additional money. To our delight, I not only got out of my lease but was reimbursed for all of my lease payments. I was able to put some of that money toward an electric BMW that I am now leasing for a small fraction of what I was overpaying for the lemon Mercedes. Jacob was highly responsive to emails and texts, and it was easy to get a hold of staff at his office. His employees were friendly and attentive, and the process was very streamlined, making things easy for me. I never had to go to the office in-person. I am incredibly grateful to Jacob and his staff for helping to make things right for me. I would highly recommend Jacob and his team to others looking for a fair resolution to lemon vehicle woes. Thank you, Jacob and staff!! I am incredibly grateful.

He was honest forthright and communicative. He answered three series of questions on three different occasions which contributed to a successful settlement result. Thank you Jacob — I will absolutely recommend your services in the future.

What makes Grace different from other attorneys is she feels deep empathy for the people she represents. She takes on their fight, even if it is uncomfortable for her. Technically, Grace is a talented and deft attorney. She is level headed and presents a cool demeanor, especially when tensions are high. This enables her to be calm, logical and clearly lead the path forward. If she thinks you are innocent or wrongly accused, she becomes a true advocate. Grace is a seasoned professional, but maintains her belief in justice for all. She is not in the legal profession for money, and could have easily been in a more lucrative career. I am extremely grateful that she helped me and my family.

He is a classical debater, very strategic in his approach and methodical when it comes to moving his opponent to his position. All of that and a heart of gold makes Tony an attorney that you want in your corner. When the good guys win it's because they have good fighters on their side, and Tony is one of the best!

BEST LAW FIRM. Hi everyone, my name is Karen. I have had an accident on last year in LA.I was driving a rental vehicle and the rent a car company was suing me for that accident. I have talk you more than 50 lawyers, and only Greg took the case. When I was talking and explaining the situation to different lawyers, each of them were saying that they won't be able to work with it. I'm not gonna write all the details here, because it will take 1 full day. Long story short. Greg won it, and dismissed the case. Kirakosian Law Firm, Greg Kirakosian, and all his coworkers are real professionals And for the end, Greg is a brilliant attorney. If he takes the case,it means that you have 99.9% chance to win it. I wish everyone to be wealthy and far away from courts and accidents, if not Greg will solve everything. Thanks Greg

The secretary was kind and professional in accepting our call and after a brief hold offered us a same day in person conference with a lawyer in their office in Riverside. Charles Kenyon met with us and treated us with kindness and respect. He listened with empathy. He has many years of experience and he was able to educate us with his legal advice and provide different perspectives.

The Nieves Law Firm is exactly who my father needed to help settle his case. It started with our intake person Aaron and quickly moved to getting assigned an attorney, Michael Levinsohn who is well qualified to handle restraining order cases. It was great to know his years of experience and being bilingual. We hired the Nieves Law Firm based on our research and many days/weeks looking for a Law Firm that would be willing to help with my father's case. We got turned down many times and felt taken advantage of even for a brief introduction from other law firms, BUT we were lucky to speak to Aaron who assured us that The Nieves Law Firm can help my dad. The outcome is never guaranteed but we were hopeful after talking to Michael on the phone that he would represent my father that best way he knew. Attorney Michael Levinsohn is understanding, compassionate, communicates well, and will fight for what is legally right. Michael represented my father in court with great professionalism while the other attorney made unnecessary remarks, Michael stood by my father and our family. Our case was very complicated, Michael worked the case in a fair manner and gone above & beyond our expectations. We were able to reach a resolution that favored my father without continuing any further ligation. Jo-Anna Nieves was able to help resolve difficult questions we had and we appreciate her taking the time to assist. Her staff was friendly, quick, and helpful to get things moving along from beginning to end. We highly recommend The Nieves Law Firm for anyone who has a restraining order case or issue, they helped my father and I'm sure they can help your case too. God bless.

What a Drug Crime Lawyer Can Do for You

A drug crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals accused of offenses involving controlled substances. These offenses can range from simple possession to more serious charges like distribution, trafficking, manufacturing, or possession with intent to distribute. Drug crimes can involve illegal substances such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, as well as the unauthorized use or distribution of prescription medications.

A drug crime lawyer has in-depth knowledge of federal and state drug laws and can navigate the complexities of the legal system to protect your rights. They can challenge the prosecution's evidence, negotiate plea deals, and represent you in court to potentially reduce charges, dismiss the case, or minimize penalties.

When Should I Hire a Drug Crime Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a drug crime lawyer as soon as possible in the following situations:

  • Under Investigation: If you suspect you are being investigated for a drug-related offense, consulting a lawyer early can help you avoid self-incrimination and prepare a defense strategy.
  • Arrested or Charged: If you have been arrested or formally charged with a drug crime, immediate legal representation is crucial to protect your rights and begin building your defense.
  • Search and Seizure Issues: If law enforcement has conducted a search of your person, vehicle, or property, a lawyer can assess whether your Fourth Amendment rights were violated and if any evidence can be suppressed.
  • Facing Serious Penalties: Drug charges can carry severe consequences, including jail time, hefty fines, probation, mandatory rehabilitation programs, and a permanent criminal record.
  • Complex Cases: Cases involving multiple charges, conspiracy, trafficking across state or national borders, or allegations of involvement with organized crime require specialized legal expertise.

What Does a Drug Crime Lawyer Do?

A drug crime lawyer provides a range of legal services to defend and support you throughout the legal process:

  • Legal Consultation and Advice: Explain the charges against you, your rights, and the potential consequences. They will help you understand the legal process and your options.
  • Case Investigation: Examine the details of your case, including police reports, evidence, and witness statements, to identify weaknesses or violations of legal procedures.
  • Defense Strategy Development: Create a tailored defense strategy, which may include challenging the legality of the search and seizure, disputing possession, or questioning the credibility of witnesses.
  • Negotiating with Prosecutors: Work to negotiate plea bargains or reduced charges when appropriate, aiming to minimize potential penalties.
  • Court Representation: Represent you in all court proceedings, advocating on your behalf during hearings, trials, and sentencing.
  • Protecting Your Rights: Ensure that your constitutional rights are upheld throughout the legal process, including protection against unlawful searches, coerced confessions, or violations of due process.
  • Post-Trial Assistance: Assist with appeals, sentence modifications, or expungement of records if applicable.

How Are Drug Crime Lawyers Paid?

Drug crime lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:

  • Hourly Rate: Charging an hourly fee for the time spent on your case. Rates can vary widely based on the lawyer's experience and geographic location.
  • Flat Fee: A set amount that covers specific services or the entirety of your case, providing cost predictability.
  • Retainer Fee: An upfront payment from which the lawyer deducts hourly fees and expenses as they work on your case. The retainer may need to be replenished as the case progresses.
  • Payment Plans: Some lawyers offer payment arrangements to make their services more affordable over time.

It's important to discuss payment structures and fees during your initial consultation to understand the financial commitment involved.

How Much Does a Drug Crime Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a drug crime lawyer depends on various factors, including the complexity of the case, severity of the charges, and the lawyer's experience. General cost estimates include:

  • Hourly Rates: Typically range from $200 to $500 or more per hour.
  • Flat Fees: For less complex cases (e.g., simple possession charges), flat fees might range from $2,000 to $7,500.
  • Complex Cases: Cases involving multiple charges, felonies, or trafficking can cost $10,000 to $50,000 or more due to the extensive legal work required.
  • Trial Costs: If your case goes to trial, costs can increase significantly, potentially exceeding $25,000.

Additional costs may include:

  • Expert Witness Fees: Costs for specialists who may testify on your behalf, such as forensic experts or toxicologists.
  • Investigative Expenses: Expenses related to gathering evidence, hiring private investigators, or locating witnesses.
  • Court Fees and Administrative Costs: Filing fees and other expenses associated with court proceedings.

Always request a detailed fee agreement and discuss potential additional costs to avoid unexpected expenses.

Top Questions to Ask a Drug Crime Lawyer

  1. What experience do you have handling drug crime cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has a strong background in defending against the specific charges you are facing.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure and get an estimate of the total cost involved.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect for my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment, including best-case and worst-case scenarios.
  4. What is your approach to defending drug crime charges?
    Learn about the strategies they might employ and how they plan to handle your defense.
  5. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates and availability.
  6. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understand the challenges you may face and how the lawyer plans to address them.
  7. How long do you expect the legal process to take?
    Get an estimated timeline based on the specifics of your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Drug Crime Lawyer

  • Verify Their License: Ensure the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state's bar association.
  • Experience and Specialization: Look for a lawyer who specializes in criminal defense with a focus on drug crimes.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials: Research online reviews or ask for references to learn about other clients' experiences.
  • Professional Memberships: Membership in organizations like the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) indicates a commitment to the field.
  • Disciplinary Record: Check for any past disciplinary actions or complaints filed against the lawyer.
  • Consultation Feedback: Use the initial consultation to assess their communication style, professionalism, and confidence in handling your case.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a drug crime lawyer, bring the following:

  • Detailed Account of Events: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, locations, and interactions with law enforcement.
  • Legal Documents: Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Arrest records
    • Charging documents
    • Bail paperwork
    • Search warrants
    • Any correspondence from law enforcement or the court
  • Witness Information: Provide names and contact information of any potential witnesses who can support your defense.
  • Evidence: Bring any physical evidence or records that may be relevant, such as text messages, emails, or surveillance footage.
  • List of Questions: Prepare questions about your case, the legal process, and the lawyer's experience.
  • Honesty: Be prepared to discuss all details openly and honestly; attorney-client privilege ensures confidentiality.

By being thoroughly prepared, you enable the lawyer to assess your situation effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your case.
