I was in a difficult phase of my case and I reached out to Stefano to get an assessment of my case and situation. Stefano was attentive, knowledgeable, organized and took the time to collect relevant information. He reviewed and analyzed the information and gave me clear, concise, and objective guidance with respect to my options and their respective ramifications. I came away with a clear impression of what a trustworthy lawyer who acts with integrity should look like. If I ever need another lawyer, I know where I'll stop first.

We had the privilege of working with Attorney Stefano L. Molea who represented our son, and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Not only did Stefano L. Molea do a fabulous job in reducing our son's sentence with no additional time, but his personal and caring approach throughout the entire process was truly exceptional. We highly recommend Stefano L. Molea as his staff to anyone in need of legal representation. He left our son smiling and completely satisfied.

Stefano is an excellent attorney. I am very satisfied with his services. Most importantly, he fought for what I wanted. He is professional and genuine, meticulous, and pays attention to the details of your case. He is well educated, but grounded and can relate to people and the difficulties they are facing. I highly recommend Stefano!

I Most Highly recommend Debra for the Best Outcome for your case, When I was facing very serious Felony Charges that would ruin My Life and the Lives of My Family I was Extremely Fortunate to retain Debra S.

I sincerely wish and hope for anyone facing a similar crisis, that they would be as fortunate as Myself and that is why I Most Highly Recommend that they put their troubles in the Hands and Heart of the Uniquely Gifted, Expert, Creative, Capable, and Effective Debra S. White. I have first hand knowledge of the outcome of several similar cases and know that I have the Best and Most Successful Attorney and thus the best results. Here is only a short list of some of the many capabilities that differentiate Debra as the Best Attorney. 1. Best Knowledge of the Law and Judicial processes, the Complexities, Nuances, Subtleties and therefore Opportunities 2. Best Standing and Influence in the Court, with the Judges, and the DAs 3. Best Advocate, Best Negotiator, Most Persuasive, Best Fighter for the Client 4. Best Guide through the process for Me as the Client including Referrals and Recommendations for things I could do 5.

Most Inspirational so that I was able to overcome the Trauma, Despair, and Dread and instead take positive steps and actions to Improve Myself and My Position Debra brings so much more to the table than Her Expertise, Knowledge, Skills, Capabilities and Resources. It's My Experience that Debra is Intensely, Personally and Passionately Dedicated to and Committed to Her client's interests, Invested In and Protective of Her Client and does everything She can for Her client. A Force to be reckoned with in Court, She invests Her Heart in the Cause.

Debra White is a magnificent criminal defense attorney. Throughout an uphill long battle I had with a severe personal matter. Debra was able to communicate to the justice system with what is true and what was not. She was able to navigate in a precise manner while utilizing laws that have passed recently in our favor. Debra communicates on a timely manner dependent on your situation and would never leave you in tight spot where you are left high and dry like most of many attorneys. I have already recommended her to a great family friend of mine which she has already produced amazing results for. Debra is really on top of her practice. I am happy to say I would voice or refer this law office to anyone! Debra thank you for all you have done for me & my family.

Super Lawyer Debra S. White is personable, professional, and communicates clearly to her client, their family and the court. She always appears in court prepared--and she never drops the ball. Observing her in court hearings, even when seemingly nothing of import was happening, Debra set the case groundwork and pushed the pea forward towards her envisioned positive outcome. Our family witnessed, time and again, Debra's extraordinary facility in dealing with a sometimes semi-hostile court environment. Her body language is confidant, always accompanied by a big smile: she's on, she is ready, and you understand you're in the very best of hands. She won our case. Michelle H.

I have had several lawyers over the years, from criminal defense to family law. Shaun has always been clear on the expectations of the three cases I have had with him, and bottom line is that he has WON ALL THREE CASES for me. Shaun is always VERY fast with getting back to me through email and text message. One last important issue that makes me give Shaun Khojayan a 5 star rating is that he always answers my questions without eating up my retainer (as long as it is a simple question). lawyers I have had in the past are not about wining my case. The other lawyers I have had are all about eating up my retainer, and I am very grateful to Shaun for not doing this in any of the three cases I have had with him!

Shaun was a GODSEND. My case involved multiple counts of fraud AND possession of cocaine which was affecting my immigration/citizenship status. He crafted a brilliant strategy of separating them into two different motions resulting in both cases being vacated. Shaun showed my wife and I nothing but compassion and kindness throughout the process. I am now at peace without this "sword" no longer hanging over my head all thanks to him.

This man is truly a savior, I was charged with federal bank fraud and multiple identity theft charges and was facing forsure jail time. I didn’t know what to do especially hearing all the stories about the Feds. I called Shaun and instantly felt that I made the right decision. Since the first day Shaun has been the ultimate professional. His game planning, confidence and vision is just a few things that sets him on another level. He made clutch decision after clutch decision and eventually got 5 years jail time turned into probation with 2 years home confinement. I still can’t believe it!!! Shaun Khojayan Esq. is a brilliant attorney that will literally fight for you to the very end. Trust me!!! I can continue to at be home with my family thanks to this man. Thank you once again for the amazing victory!!!

He went to great lengths to help us fight our case against the school district and obtained for us a very favorable result. He is a very dedicated and hard working attorney and we were very happy to have him on our side. Matthew prepared a comprehensive packet which provided all the details from our point of view. He spent a lot of time in helping us build the case and guided us in different areas to ensure we fulfilled all requirements before hand. This helped in presenting a very compulsive case.

If you are in need of consistently aggressive, calculated and very professional advocacy, Wallin and Klarich is the law firm that you should go to. I understand, it is terrifying to be in a situation wherein you are accused specially if you have not have not had experience with the legal system before, so looking for strong lawyers will be your best defense. Our story with Wallin and Klarich started when we had a serious accusation thrown at a family member. I called them on a Saturday evening, left a message; I immediately got a call from Jonathan Lynn, one of their senior lawyers who made an appointment with us even on a Sunday. He then referred us to one of the partners of the firm, Matthew Wallin, and after our first meeting, we knew that we were starting off on the right path in having this firm at our side. Matt was always there for us. I know he is a top rated lawyer who handles a lot of cases, but he never made us feel that our case was any less serious or less important. He was always prompt, detailed, pro-active and he was always respectful. Contrary to what a few negative reviewers post here, this firm never made us feel that our case was about money first. I actually had to ask them several times to review the retainer since I really felt that they were spending so much time on our case vs. what we were paying for. Matt is a very strong advocate and he really cares about his clients. He acted as a confidant, coach, lawyer, mentor during our darkest and most trying times. Like I always said to him, his advocacy is much more than whatever money we can pay for. His service, his care, his diligence is unsurpassed. I have heard horror stories from other families about how badly they were treated by their law firms and honestly, if I would just say out loud to those having problems, go to Wallin and Klarich. On a personal note to Matt and his team, thank your work and your firm. It is because of people like you, that people get a fighting chance to defend themselves and be presumed innocent first in the eyes of the law. You guys have chosen to fight the hard fight with your clients and just for making that career choice and that decision, gives all of your clients a fighting chance to prove themselves innocent. Our family, will always be forever grateful for your advocacy.

I was pulled over for doing donuts in an empty dirt lot, and the police officer told me I would get something in the mail. Almost a year later, I got a court summons telling me I was to be charged with misdemeanor reckless driving and vandalism. Adding insult to injury, the DA’s office made me court date AFTER I had moved out of state for school! After consulting with and retaining Matt Wallin, I could not be happier with the outcome. He represented me and kept me updated with all relevant info, and was very professional. Mr. Wallin eventually got both charges dropped and the case dismissed. Considering I could have been facing jail time, a nasty fine and a license suspension, this could not have gone any better for me. A big thank you to Mr. Matt Wallin and the entire team!

In the interest of Justice, he did everything correctly to prove my innocence. He contacted people, made calls and went to speak to the dective and the district attorney directly.

I have a Dental License from the Dental Board of California and he made sure, that I was proven innocent. Thank you a million times and if you’re not sure what to do in a legal case, call Mr. Renslo.

All the DA's and judges know him and respect him. That is just who you want reprenting you.

If I could give Angela 10 stars, I would. She is absolutely amazing! If you are looking for a lawyer in the Lake County or Sonoma area, I highly, highly recommend her. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the law, but she is also incredibly kind! We all have dealt with lawyers that are, for lack of a better word, jerks, and kind of look their nose down at you. This is 100% not Angela. She is kind, down to earth, and very intelligent. But don’t let her kindness fool you, she is a bulldog in every sense of the word. She will fight for you, like you were her own flesh and blood. One of the worst things that could happen to you, is being accused of a crime. I myself faced a bogus charge from a jilted ex lovers new fiancé. This charge had the ability to take my career for me, and Angela made sure that did not happen. Court dates and court matters bring a huge amount of stress, but with Angela handling my case, I was able to take a breath and focus on work and my home life, and still know that my case was in the most capable of hands. Lake county is a small place, but we are genuinely lucky to have such a big-time lawyer call this place home! If you’ve made it this far into this review, what are you waiting for, call her today! You are going to want somebody behind you that genuinely cares, who doesn’t see you as another number. Angela is the real deal; intelligent, kind, and a genuine bada** when it comes to fighting for your rights!!!

Angela Carter is an incredibly compassionate and empathetic person. She is also an excellent attorney. She expressed deep concern for what I had been through and turned an embarrassing and upsetting situation into something I could use to learn and grow. For years unfortunate circumstances and stressful life events pushed me in and out of a dark place with addiction. Getting out of that harmful cycle was like a puzzle. I was horrified when my inability to cope in a healthy way put me on the wrong side of the law, on more than one occasion. I came to her office feeling defeated and Angela was with me every step of the way. Today I’m on a path of healing and Angela was instrumental in helping me get there.

He delivered the legal documents we needed in a reasonable time, considering the large number that he created. He also provided us with clear and explicit instructions of what to do with each document. In all communications, he and his staff were always considerate and helpful.

I had a deeply frustrating experience with Ross family law that I feel compelled to share. My interaction with this firm, particularly with their receptionist, was marked by unprofessionalism and a lack of genuine support. I was seeking legal assistance with a challenging child custody and child support dispute, but my experience with this firm was far from satisfactory. From the outset, the receptionist’s attitude was dismissive and unhelpful. When I called to inquire about potential legal representation, I was met with a curt and indifferent response. Rather than offering any assistance or guidance, the receptionist informed me that all the attorneys at the firm were fully booked and either could not or would not take on new cases. This response was not only frustrating but seemed to be a blanket refusal rather than a genuine assessment of the firm’s capacity. What was most concerning about this interaction was the lack of willingness to explore any potential for assisting with my case or even directing me to someone who might help. Instead of providing a referral or suggesting alternative steps, the receptionist’s demeanor suggested a complete disinterest in addressing my needs. This kind of response is deeply unprofessional and reflects poorly on the firm’s commitment to client service. Moreover, the refusal to consider my case based on an apparent overbooking issue, without any attempt to understand the specifics of my situation, felt dismissive. It is troubling to think that a law firm would turn away clients so readily, especially in sensitive family law matters where legal representation can be crucial. In addition, the lack of follow-up or alternative solutions provided by the receptionist was particularly disappointing. A professional law firm should have protocols for dealing with such inquiries, including offering referrals to other attorneys or providing preliminary advice on how to proceed in the absence of their services. In summary, my experience with Ross family law was marred by an unprofessional and unhelpful attitude from their receptionist, coupled with a blanket refusal to assist with my case. This lack of willingness to engage with potential clients, combined with poor customer service, makes me highly skeptical of their commitment to client care. I would strongly recommend seeking legal representation elsewhere, as this firm’s apparent indifference suggests they may not provide the support needed for complex family law matters.

When hiring a lawyer, one must consider several factors for what is a significant and important decision that could determine the trajectory of your life. Is this lawyer competent at their area of expertise? Does this lawyer treat their clients with respect and as a person and not simply a case number? Does this lawyer have the personality and moral demeanor that best represents you and your interests? Will this lawyer be transparent and communicative? Jason Holley is all of these things. He has dedicated his career to helping others and continues to do so daily at his practice. Do not hesitate to have a consultation with him and choose him to represent you.

Grant Toeppen from Advance Planning prepared a trust for me and my wife. He was very professional and provided many key insights throughout the process. My wife previously worked as a paralegal at a different law firm and she was very pleased with Grant's knowledge on multiple subjects involved with our trust. Grant was very responsive to all of our inquiries in a timely manner. He would typically respond the same day and definitely within 24 hours of receiving our question. He was always on time for our meetings and walked us through each page of the trust he prepared. He covered each section of the trust in detail and made notes of each request we made for changes. Grant prepared multiple iterations of the trust and walked us through each of the versions until we were satisfied with the exact wording. Grant also transferred ownership on our property and updated the beneficiaries on our retirement accounts to our new trust. Grant was professional and courteous throughout the entire process.

Grant Toeppen is so wonderful to work with, I have been working with him for the last 2.5 years. I am the executor for an estate that is in Probate and let me tell you nothing has been easy with this. Grant has guided me through the whole process. He has answered all my questions, dealt with issues I was not comfortable dealing with, referred me to other professionals when needed. Grant is very prompt in answering emails and returning calls. I would 100% use him again.

He makes you feel like family unlike Most attorneys that are rude and just want your money only to do the do the bare minimum. But but not him, he even helps work with you on price. Incredibly fair! Mr.Abrams is worth so much more than what he charges. He went above and beyond for my husbands criminal case and we got the BEST outcome! 24 counts dropped to 4, facing 5-6 yrs and got him NO prison or jail time!! YES! Mr.Abrams did that!!

I had the good fortune of being a client of Mr. Pernik, hands-down the best and most competent defense attorney practicing in the Monterey Peninsula-Salinas area, and beyond. After an unexpected turn of events, I needed help with a legal case and appreciated the fact that Mr. Pernik was willing to represent me. As I worked with Mr. Pernik, Dustin, and other members of his team to resolve the issue, it became readily apparent that they worked well together, and in my best interest. In the end, the case was settled fairly, and I attribute that success to Mr. Pernik and his team's professionalism, integrity, and compassion. I highly recommend Mr. Pernik, whether you're dealing with a straightforward case, or one that's more complex in nature. The legal representation that he provides will be first-rate, bar none.

I’m a innocent wrongfully convicted man, and now I don’t have any money left to challenge or appeal my wrongful conviction because The McGregor Law Firm stole all of my money. Matthew Rinaldi is very unprofessional and thinks he knows it all. Matthew Rinaldi also acts like A Prosecutor instead of a Criminal Defense Attorney. Matthew will cross examine you like a Prosecutor, instead of talking about how to build your defense. Matthew Rinaldi doesn’t care about his clients.

What a Sex Crime Lawyer Can Do for You

A sex crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals accused of sexual offenses, which can include charges such as sexual assault, rape, indecent exposure, child pornography, solicitation, and other related crimes. Being charged with a sex crime carries severe legal and social consequences, including potential imprisonment, mandatory registration as a sex offender, fines, and long-term stigma. A sex crime lawyer has the expertise to navigate the complex legal system, protect your rights, and develop a strategic defense to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

When Should I Hire a Sex Crime Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a sex crime lawyer immediately if:

  • You are under investigation: If law enforcement contacts you for questioning or you become aware that you are a suspect in a sex crime investigation, it's crucial to seek legal representation before speaking with authorities.
  • You have been arrested or charged: Promptly hiring a lawyer upon arrest or formal charges allows for early intervention in your case, which can be critical for your defense.
  • Searches and seizures have occurred: If your property, such as your home or electronic devices, has been searched or seized in connection with a sex crime investigation, a lawyer can help protect your rights.
  • You are facing related legal issues: If you're dealing with restraining orders, custody disputes, or other legal matters stemming from the allegations, a lawyer can provide comprehensive legal support.

What Does a Sex Crime Lawyer Do?

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

  • Legal consultation and advice: They will explain the charges against you, outline your rights, and advise you on the best course of action.
  • Case investigation: The lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and identifying inconsistencies or weaknesses in the prosecution's case.
  • Defense strategy development: They will develop a tailored defense strategy, which may include challenging the credibility of evidence, disputing the legality of how evidence was obtained, or presenting alternative explanations.
  • Negotiating with prosecutors: Your lawyer can negotiate plea bargains or reduced charges when appropriate, aiming to minimize potential penalties.
  • Court representation: They will represent you in all court proceedings, including hearings, trials, and sentencing, advocating on your behalf.
  • Protecting your rights: The lawyer ensures 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: If necessary, they can assist with appeals, sentence modifications, or matters related to sex offender registration.

How Are Sex Crime Lawyers Paid?

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

  • Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee for the time spent working on your case. Rates can vary widely based on the lawyer's experience and location.
  • Flat fee: A set amount that covers specific services or the entirety of your case, which can provide cost predictability.
  • Retainer fee: An upfront payment from which the lawyer deducts hourly fees and expenses as they work on your case. You may need to replenish the retainer if it is exhausted.
  • 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 Sex Crime Lawyer Cost?

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

  • Hourly rates: Typically range from $200 to $500 or more per hour.
  • Flat fees: For less complex cases, flat fees might range from $5,000 to $25,000.
  • Total costs: Complex cases involving extensive investigation or a trial can cost $25,000 to $100,000 or more.
  • Additional costs: May include expert witness fees, investigative expenses, and court fees.

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

Top Questions to Ask a Sex Crime Lawyer

  1. What experience do you have handling sex 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 sex 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 Sex 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 sex crime cases.
  • 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) can indicate 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 sex crime lawyer, bring the following:

  • Detailed account of events: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, locations, and any conversations.
  • 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 emails, text messages, or social media interactions.
