La verdad es que cuando llega a tu familia un DUI te pones nervioso y no sabes qué hacer, hasta que contactamos al abogado Luis Jimenez y desde el primer momento estuvo muy pendiente resolviendo todas las dudas, contestando mensajes, llamadas y nos dio mucha tranquilidad. Consiguió una muy buena negociación! Un excelente abogado y una gran persona.. Estamos totalmente agradecidos.

He will guide you into AA if you agree, which will improve your mindfulness and serenity. He will check up on you every week and report the status of your case, first at the DMV and then at the Courthouse. In summary, he will help make you a better person and law-abiding citizen.

I received my first DUI this past November and thought i had ruined my life. I reached out to Jeff Gold shortly after and he assured me that it was not the end of the world. Jeff immediately got me to start working a program that would turn my life around, not just fight the DUI. I began attending AA meetings and working with therapists to try and change my relationship with alcohol. After three months of work and diligence i was able to get my sentence reduced! None of that would have been possible with out the help of Jeff Gold. I'd strongly recommend him to anyone going through this tough situation.

My family member was looking at potentially serving years; Graham got him community service and probation (they were not minor charges). HIGHLY recommend him. God bless Mr. Donath and his team.

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.

He and his team were able to reduce the felony AND misdemeanor down to a complete dismissal. The team is FANTASTIC at communication and will clear up any hesitancy you may have. Mr. Donath knows how the court system works and will DEFINITELY fight for you. 11/10 recommend

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.

Kenneth Norelli was upfront and honest with me about my case. He kept me in the loop and didn't pull any punches with me. This is what I was looking for. I figured if the attorney I chose wasn't a sugar coater then that was who I wanted and that's what I got!! I would have never been able to close my case without this guy... Like I said he is the hardest working attorney in OC. What seemed would be impossible to achieve, he pursued and was able to clear EVERYTHING involved. When I read the final document, he sent me, all saw was DISMISSED, DISMISSED, DISMISSED, DISMISSED!!!! I can't tell you how proud he should feel for this HUGE undertaking and accomplishment. You gave me my life back. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

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'm incredibly glad and thankful that I chose Ann to be my lawyer. These are the reasons why she's a fantastic lawyer and why I highly recommend her: 1. I could tell she genuinely cares about her clients. She clearly presents everything you're legally facing, what you need to do on your end, and everything she plans to do on her end to win your case. When you need to contact her, she's a simple text or phone call away. When you have questions, she patiently and clearly explains everything to you. 2. She's professional and highly experienced. She's been there and done that. Consequently, she knows what she's doing and if your case is winnable, your chances of winning increase by hiring her as your lawyer. 3. She's very personable and nice. She has great relationships with many key contacts/prosecutors at the courthouses, meaning that it's highly probable that they're more willing to work with her to get your charges reduced/dismissed. 4. When she made one small mistake when communicating to me about my next monthly payment, she ended up reducing that month's fee by a few hundred dollars out of her professional courtesy. She didn't have to do that. 5. Finally, she got my charge reduced despite all the evidence against me. I plan to get the leftover charge on my record expunged once a year hits and hire her again to handle that. All in all, I'm thankful to God for Ann - she did an absolutely incredible job getting my charge reduced. She was fantastic to work with. I highly recommend that you hire Ann Gottesman as your lawyer. You won't regret it!

I can’t thank Ann Gottesman enough for the incredible job she did handling my DUI case. She successfully helped me win my DMV DUI hearing and guided me through the court process, ultimately securing placement in a military diversion program due to PTSD from my combat service. From the start, Ann treated me with honesty, compassion, and professionalism. She was always reliable and made herself available whenever I had questions, no matter how small. Her advice was invaluable—she recommended that I attend DUI and MADD classes early, which really set me up for a positive outcome. Beyond the legal side, Ann highlighted resources that have been life-changing for addressing my PTSD. This entire experience, while challenging, has truly been a blessing in disguise because of her guidance. If you’re looking for a DUI defense attorney who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and committed to your success, I cannot recommend Ann Gottesman highly enough. She is simply the best, and I’m forever grateful I chose her to represent me. Thank you, Ann!

I contacted the Shnider Law Firm with an urgent matter involving my daughter. From the moment I spoke with their legal assistant, Jennifer Caballero, I felt calmer and reassured before even meeting Mr. Shnider. I can’t speak highly enough of them both—within two hours, they resolved my issue and completely turned my day around. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care made all the difference. I recommend Mr. Shnider’s law firm to anyone without hesitation who faces a sensitive legal concern.

I would give a 0 if possible, this is the worst law firm ever they will tell you anything you want to hear until you put the retainer , I was ignored until pay day by supervisors, attorneys, case managers, then the first 2 court dates had to be postponed because my attorney didn’t come they sent a fill in with his own law firm that didn’t know anything about my case so I had to get a extra court date months later when the date came my attorney shows up didn’t know me or anything about the case asked if I wanted another delay , remind a month I was told to pause payment because of lack of communication so the day of my court the lawyer said he didn’t know me but was told he can’t go inside because I owe a payment lol I already had paid over 2500 dollars & that was literally my first time speaking to him , I was ignored the whole time except when paying was due worst place ever & they still are trying to charge me more money

I had an excellent experience working with Chad. He is such a wonderful bankruptcy attorney and made the whole process much less stressful. I was incredibly nervous during my trustee meeting, but Chad helped me every step of the way, ensuring everything was organized and ready to go. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and broke everything down in a way that made it easy for me to understand. Chad was also prompt in responding to my emails, ensuring that I always had the information I needed right away. He sure did make me feel relieved after everything. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is filing for bankruptcy. Highly recommend!

I was violently beaten while holding my child and left covered in bruises from head to toe in San Mateo county at 71 larkspur Ave in Daly City CA in 2015. Later that same year the same man who left me covered in bruises shot another man in Napa county and they sent me to prison for it while he got away as the victim. The sheriff's department set up flash bang after me and the others were already in custody and then they asked the neighbors if they herd gun shots just so they could add it in their report even though there was no actual witness

All, I unequivocally recommend Cate Beekman as your next attorney. Specifically, if you need 5-star representation, go with Ms. Beekman post haste. Why? Ms. Beekman is highly effective, brilliant, thoughtful, creative and most of all; she accomplishes the goal of zealous advocacy without insult, injury or raising her voice. She communicates as well to her client (me), as she does to judges. Furthermore, her working knowledge of legal standards and your issues – even if based on first impression - is first-class. When? If you have a current attorney (fire them, I mean that with all sincerity), retain her and thank me later. Not all attorneys are created equally. If you are looking for an attorney, bring her on board immediately. I witnessed first hand, her ability to digest voluminous information – distill what was relevant and irrelevant and make cogent arguments. That goes double in a small area such as Napa, CA where the paucity of effective counsel leaves much to be desired. You have a diamond in the rough in Ms. Beekman. She does not use superfluous words or enter anything into evidence to make the case for opposing counsel. She understands the burden of proof and uses it effectively and surgically. Background? For context (what is it worth), I never write reviews. Everyone’s situation is different. I also put little opinion in the faith of others. However, Ms. Beekman’s representation was so beyond perfection, that I believe I owe it to everyone reading this, that you hire her immediately. What’s more, if it matters, I am an attorney myself, so I believe I know what good and bad lawyering looks like (or should like). Ms. Beekman represented me in a matter (that in my opinion had no merit). She took the matter to its logical conclusion and prepared me and represented my interest before the tribunal very well. First, her legal acumen is without peer. Opposing counsel, while over-matched, was a worthy adversary. Nevertheless, she objected when necessary. She also did not do anything to showboat or appease me for the sake of “getting even”. Additionally she made well-reasoned, articulated and ultimately effective arguments on my behalf. Second, her demeanor is even keel. Her temperament is the same. She knows how to calm you down, while also laying the crumbs for the trier of fact to find in your favor. To conclude, her sunny disposition is just who she is; a good-hearted person. However, do not let that disarm you, she is legally lethal when necessary. That said, if you need to win and “bet the case” (your tenuous position) – Ms. Beekman is who you should go with immediately.

Evan Zelig is the best criminal law attorney in Sonoma county. I had someone wrongfully accused of DV, and we called Evan immediately. He educated us on the law and the likely outcome. The charges were dropped in the interim but Evan still supported us as a courtesy on the hearing date to drop the charges and emailed back later to answer more questions I had. He's very responsive and I like that he helped me understand how the laws work for criminal cases so I could understand what was going on. He has reasonable prices (even though I didn't need to hire him) and a great attitude. Don't look elsewhere if you find yourself or a loved one charged with a criminal charge.

What a Juvenile Law Lawyer Can Do for You

A juvenile law lawyer specializes in legal issues involving minors, including those facing criminal charges, child welfare matters, or status offenses (like truancy or curfew violations). Juvenile law lawyers aim to protect the rights of minors and advocate for rehabilitation rather than punishment in criminal cases. They also help families navigate child custody, abuse, neglect cases, and other legal matters involving children.

If your child is facing criminal charges, or you are involved in a child welfare case, a juvenile law lawyer can help protect your child’s rights and work toward the most favorable outcome.

When Should I Hire a Juvenile Law Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a juvenile law lawyer in the following situations where minors are involved in legal matters:

  • Juvenile criminal charges: If your child is accused of a crime, such as theft, assault, or drug offenses, a juvenile lawyer can represent them in juvenile court, advocating for leniency and alternatives to detention.
  • Delinquency proceedings: A lawyer can help navigate delinquency charges, defending your child’s rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes like counseling, probation, or diversion programs instead of incarceration.
  • Status offenses: If your child has committed a status offense, such as truancy, running away, or underage drinking, a lawyer can help you resolve these issues in juvenile court, often focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
  • School disciplinary issues: If your child is facing school suspensions, expulsions, or other disciplinary actions, a lawyer can help protect their educational rights and challenge any unfair or unlawful school policies.
  • Child protective services (CPS) investigations: If your family is being investigated by CPS for alleged abuse, neglect, or dependency, a lawyer can represent you and protect your child’s rights throughout the investigation.
  • Custody disputes: A lawyer can help in cases involving child custody or guardianship disputes, ensuring the child’s best interests are prioritized and advocating for the child’s rights.
  • Emancipation: If your child seeks legal emancipation from their parents or guardians, a lawyer can assist in navigating the legal process and help the child understand their rights and responsibilities.

Hiring a lawyer early in the legal process ensures that your child’s rights are protected and that the best possible outcomes are pursued.

What Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Do?

A juvenile law lawyer provides various services to help minors and their families navigate the legal system. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Representing minors in court: A lawyer will represent your child in juvenile court, advocating for their rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes rather than punitive measures.
  • Filing motions and legal paperwork: The lawyer handles all necessary legal filings, including petitions, responses, and motions to dismiss charges or suppress evidence.
  • Negotiating with prosecutors: In some cases, a lawyer can negotiate plea deals or diversion programs that prevent the child from having a permanent criminal record or serving time in detention.
  • Advising on rehabilitation programs: Juvenile law lawyers often focus on alternatives to incarceration, such as counseling, community service, or probation, helping minors avoid long-term legal consequences.
  • Handling CPS and child welfare cases: If your family is involved in a CPS investigation or child welfare case, the lawyer can advocate for your child’s safety and well-being, ensuring that their rights are upheld.
  • Defending minors against school discipline: A lawyer can help challenge unfair or excessive disciplinary actions taken by schools, ensuring that your child’s educational rights are protected.
  • Advising families on legal options: A lawyer will explain the juvenile legal process to families, offering advice on the best legal strategies and what to expect during the case.

How Are Juvenile Law Lawyers Paid?

Juvenile law lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many juvenile law lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Flat fee: For simpler cases, such as status offenses or school disciplinary hearings, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all legal services related to the case.
  • Retainer: In more complex cases, such as defending against serious criminal charges or handling a long-term CPS investigation, a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as they work on the case.
  • Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some juvenile law lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or may provide pro bono (free) services for families who cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially in cases involving child welfare or delinquency.

Discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to understand the total cost and payment options.

How Much Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a juvenile law lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the time involved. General cost estimates include:

  • Juvenile criminal cases: Legal fees for defending a minor in juvenile criminal cases can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the severity of the charges and whether the case goes to trial.
  • Status offenses: For cases involving minor offenses such as truancy or underage drinking, legal fees typically range from $1,500 to $5,000.
  • CPS or child welfare cases: Legal fees for representing families in CPS investigations or child welfare cases can range from $2,000 to $8,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
  • School disciplinary hearings: Legal fees for representing students in school-related issues may range from $1,000 to $3,500, depending on the legal work required.

Make sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure you understand the full scope of fees and services.

Before hiring a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your child’s case effectively. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with juvenile law cases?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s juvenile delinquency, child custody, or CPS investigations.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer. Ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my child’s case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of the case, including potential challenges and likely outcomes.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Juvenile cases can vary in duration, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors might affect the timeline.
  5. Will you personally handle my child’s case?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing the case and representing your child in court.
  6. What rights does my child have?
    Ask the lawyer to explain your child’s legal rights, including their rights during police questioning, school disciplinary actions, and court proceedings.

How to Check the Credibility of a Juvenile Law Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable juvenile law lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for juvenile law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in juvenile law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate in juvenile cases.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on juvenile law matters.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Look for memberships in organizations like the National Juvenile Defender Center (NJDC) or certifications in juvenile law, which can indicate a lawyer’s dedication to representing minors.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

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

  • Court documents: Bring any legal documents related to your child’s case, such as summons, complaints, or court orders.
  • School records: Provide any relevant school records, including disciplinary reports, attendance records, and communications from school officials.
  • CPS or investigation reports: If your case involves child welfare, bring any reports or documentation from CPS or other investigating agencies.
  • Timeline of events: Prepare a detailed timeline of events related to your child’s legal issue, including interactions with authorities or school officials.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the legal process, your child’s rights, and potential outcomes for the case.

Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your child’s situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your needs.
