I found David Rubalcava through searching online. When I called him, I right away trusted him and realized that he would be able to take care of my job. He is smart, honest, professional, and nice, all at the same time which made working with him easy. I cannot stress enough how professional, knowledgeable, and detailed oriented he is. I want my lawyer to have laser focused attention on details and his is just beyond amazing. Now I have peace of mind in my life as a result of the work he did for me. I am so grateful that I found him online. If needed again, I would only work with him and would only refer him to all friends and family.

Mr. Crites is an outstanding attorney. He is easy to speak with, always returns his messages immediately, and cares so much about his clients. He handled a PI case for me and followed it through to the very end. Even though I do not practice law, I do have a JD in law and know excellent attorneys from those who are not in his league. By far, he is one of the smartest attorneys I've ever met and even though I'm trained in law, I wish I knew half of what he knows! Thank you, Mr. Crites!

My family and I were extremely fortunate to be represented by Jesse Gessin. When I met Jesse I was facing up to 10 years in federal prison, with a recommended sentence 18 to 24 months. The case was a slam dunk for the federal prosecutors. I couldn't have given them more evidence against me if I had tried! I thought I was going down for a federal firearms offense. Then I met Jesse who was able to eventually get the case dismissed.
When I went to my first meeting with Jesse I was frustrated, angry and worried for my family and myself. I had no previous criminal history and did not know what was coming. I couldn’t stop thinking of what I was putting my family through. I was going to lose my freedom, my job of almost 20 years and my specialized license. I was a wreck, to put it mildly.
Jesse was right to the point, decisive, and hands on from day one. Jesse listened to my side of the story. He understood my anxiety. He never blew smoke to put me at ease. Instead he showed me how hard he was working for me, which helped with my anxiety and made my family feel better. Jesse left no stone unturned even with the overwhelming evidence against me. During the case, I knew exactly what was taking place, what my options were and what the outcome was likely to be. Jesse always communicated honestly with me.
The government originally rejected Jesse’s offer for an alternate sentencing program. The government said that because my case dealt with a serious firearms offense, I was not eligible. Jesse did not let up.
In Jesse's eyes I truly was innocent until proven guilty and he pressed the case forward. After Jesse prepared the case for trial, the government agreed to let me into the alternate sentencing program. Today, my case has been dismissed and I didn’t lose my specialized license! It was a long two years, but I am so thankful I had Jesse in my corner.

I met Jesse Gessin in August 2013 at an arraignment hearing, I was charged with a white collar crime. My indictment carried a very stiff statutory time of 20 years. I had been convicted in Federal Court previously of white collar offenses. So I was terrified that would aggravate the current case in many ways.
Jesse visited me regularly while I was in custody and we talked by phone weekly, He was always easy to reach and always visited me on the dates he told me he would. He kept me abreast of all correspondence with the Government and sent me copies. Jesse reviewed the case methodically to determine if I had a plausible defense. There were many taped conversations where I had been talking to an undercover FBI Agent unknowingly; after Jesse had completed a thorough review of the case he told me that he was perfectly willing to take the case to trial, but my best course of action would be a plea agreement that I could live with.
Jesse began dialogue with the prosecutor on a plea agreement to determine the government’s position. Jesse kept me calm through this procedure because the initial conversation with the Government was more incarceration than I could imagine.
Jesse visited me and told me the Federal Sentencing Guidelines as well as any enhancements can be argued in court at the time of sentencing. I had been to several court appearances with Jesse representing me, I could tell the Judge and Prosecutor both had a lot of respect for Jesse in the courtroom, this was comforting for me to see.
Jesse came to see me and told me the government had offered a deal, 60 months with three financial enhancements. The financial enhancements raised the amount of incarceration 20+ months. He said he had researched the enhancements and had a good argument on all three. He then went back to the prosecutor and negotiated a plea agreement whereby the government would leave the enhancements in the plea agreement, but would let the judge decide the sentence based on arguments at sentencing. I accepted the deal because of my faith in Jesse.
The day of sentencing Jesse did nothing short of amazing; his argument convinced the Judge that two of the three enhancements did not apply to my case. I was sentenced to 30 months by the Judge. I received 30 months because of Jesse’s knowledge in sentencing procedure and his dedication to see that I received a fair sentence.
I would highly recommend Jessie Gessin to anyone who needs an Attorney that they can trust.

Christine is a great counselor. I had a complicated case that involved division of the company with shared ownership between my ex-husband and I during our divorce. Within only a couple of days Christine new my case in details. Even if she was not participating in divorce hearing, she clearly explained to me all pros and cons of my case and wrote a letter to my divorce attorneys that precisely described the strategy during the hearing and strongly protected my interests. Also, I appreciate her great personality, as I felt her sincere desire to help me, and not just to perform her professional duty. Without any hesitation, I would recommend Christine to anyone who is looking for a strong legal advice.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of working with David Martucci from Martucci & Associates, a law firm in Orange County, CA. My ex-spouses attorney, David Martucci, not only provided false documents and presented fraudulent false statements under oath in court, but also repeatedly refused to meet and confer with me over 10 times, showed up to court unprepared, and failed to file important trial documents.
To make matters even worse, David produced a written transcript of a video and changed the facts from the video to say that I owned 100% of a company that I only owned 1% of despite having personal knowledge and documentation showing my true ownership only being 1%. This was a baseless and misleading representation that caused significant harm a d long term damages to my case.
David also presented a Profit & Loss Statement from a company that I was working for and lied to the court saying that it was my company when in fact I am just a W2 employee with zero ownership. His lies have greatly impacted the outcome of my hearing.
He has no problem presenting false evidence in court if it benefits his client.
I also witnessed David leaving in the same car as my ex-wife after court. Seems a little weird if you ask me.
I would caution others to carefully consider their options before retaining this law firm. While I understand that every case is unique, my personal experience left me with a lack of confidence in the legal system. Honesty, competence, professionalism, and a strong commitment to their clients' best interests are critical in the legal system, and I did not feel that these values were upheld with David martucci from Martucci & Associates. To make matters worse, the firm's website looks completely unprofessional, as if it was created by a child.
It is important to note that this review is not intended to harm the reputation of the law office or the individual attorney. Instead, it is meant as a warning to others to thoroughly research their options and choose a legal representative who operates with honesty, competence, professionalism, and who accurately represents the facts in court.

What a Litigation Lawyer Can Do for You
A litigation lawyer specializes in representing individuals, businesses, or organizations involved in legal disputes. Whether you're the one filing a lawsuit or you're being sued, a litigation attorney will advocate on your behalf throughout the entire legal process. Their goal is to resolve disputes, either through negotiation, settlement, or trial. Litigation lawyers can help with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, real estate issues, employment disputes, personal injury claims, and more.
Litigation lawyers provide strategic legal advice and manage all aspects of your case, from filing motions to representing you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Litigation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a litigation lawyer if you're involved in a legal dispute that you cannot resolve on your own. Common situations include:
- Breach of contract disputes: If a party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations, a litigation lawyer can help you seek damages or enforce the agreement.
- Business disputes: Litigation lawyers can represent you in cases of partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, or business fraud.
- Employment disputes: If you're facing issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, or wage disputes, a litigation lawyer can help resolve these matters through negotiation or court action.
- Personal injury claims: If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a litigation attorney can help you pursue your case.
- Real estate or property disputes: When there are conflicts over property ownership, boundary issues, or lease agreements, a litigation lawyer can assist in resolving the dispute.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is beneficial, especially if a lawsuit seems imminent or you have already been served with legal documents.
What Does a Litigation Lawyer Do?
A litigation lawyer handles all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the trial and even the appeals process, if necessary. Their role includes:
- Case assessment and investigation: Analyzing the facts of your case and advising whether it’s worth pursuing or defending.
- Pleadings and motions: Drafting and filing documents to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, including complaints, motions to dismiss, and answers.
- Discovery: Gathering evidence, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests, to build your case.
- Negotiations and settlement discussions: Attempting to resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or settlement talks before going to trial.
- Trial representation: Presenting your case in court, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and making legal arguments before a judge or jury.
- Appeals: If necessary, filing appeals to challenge or defend the outcome of the trial.
Litigation lawyers are also skilled negotiators and often work to resolve disputes outside of court to save time, money, and stress for their clients.
How Are Litigation Lawyers Paid?
Litigation lawyers typically use a variety of fee structures depending on the type of case, the complexity of the legal matter, and the financial circumstances of the client. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and geographic location.
- Flat fees: For specific, predictable legal tasks (such as filing a motion), lawyers may offer a flat fee.
- Contingency fees: In personal injury or other cases where you seek damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, taking a percentage of the settlement or award if you win.
- Retainer: Some clients pay a retainer fee upfront to secure ongoing legal services. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as work is done.
The exact structure should be discussed in the initial consultation to ensure you understand how and when you'll be charged.
How Much Does a Litigation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of a litigation lawyer varies significantly depending on the nature of the dispute and the lawyer’s experience. Factors affecting the cost include:
- The complexity of the case: More complex litigation involving extensive discovery, expert witnesses, or multi-party suits typically costs more.
- Time spent: Litigation cases can be time-consuming, especially if they go to trial. The longer the case, the higher the legal fees.
- Type of fee arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $200 to over $1,000 per hour, depending on the lawyer’s reputation and location. Contingency fees generally range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award.
- Stage of litigation: Cases that settle early in the process are often less expensive than those that proceed to trial or appeal.
It’s crucial to ask about cost estimates during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.
Top Questions to Ask a Litigation Lawyer
Before hiring a litigation lawyer, it's essential to ask key questions to ensure you're choosing the right representation:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Ensure that the lawyer has experience handling your specific type of dispute, whether it's a contract issue, personal injury, or business matter. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case's strengths, weaknesses, and the likelihood of success. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify how you'll be charged, whether by the hour, a flat fee, or on a contingency basis. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it's hard to predict, an experienced lawyer can give you a rough estimate based on similar cases. -
How often do you settle cases versus going to trial?
Some lawyers are more inclined to settle, while others may be more experienced in the courtroom. It’s important to understand their strategy. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Some lawyers prefer aggressive litigation, while others focus on settlement or mediation. Choose one whose approach aligns with your goals.
How to Check the Credibility of a Litigation Lawyer
To verify a litigation lawyer’s credibility, consider the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Ensure the lawyer is in good standing with the state bar and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and track record.
- Look for litigation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they have handled cases like yours and have a record of success.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer to provide references from past clients who can speak to their effectiveness and approach.
- Research their trial experience: If your case is likely to go to trial, ensure the lawyer has a history of courtroom success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make your first consultation with a litigation lawyer productive, you should prepare the following:
- A clear outline of the dispute: Provide a timeline and key details about the legal issue you're facing.
- Any relevant documents: Bring contracts, emails, letters, or any other documentation that pertains to the case.
- A list of key players: Provide the names of individuals or companies involved in the dispute.
- Questions about fees and the litigation process: Make sure you understand how the lawyer plans to approach your case and how you will be charged.
- Your goals and expectations: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, whether it's a settlement, compensation, or another resolution.
By coming prepared, you can ensure that your initial meeting with the lawyer is both efficient and insightful, giving you a better sense of how to proceed with your case.
