I found that Ms. Scott was knowledgeable when it came to the custody case. Ms. Scott was always professional and genuinely cared about my dayghter and and myself. She was always informing me of the status of my case and different possibilites of the outcome. If I had questions I could call anytime and if she was not available she would call back as soon as she was able. Ms. Scott showed up to court dressed very professional and understood my wishes for custody. She would talk to me about an agreement and if the agreement was bad or not to my liking then she would voice that and not agree. Ms. Scott never pressered me to do or agree to anything, instead she recommended that before I would discuss anything to contact her. I had talked to a few lawyers in the area and all of them seemed to busy to sitdown and discuss my case, others would purse an expensive case. Ms. Scott made me feel comfortable and eager for me to dicuss my case. Ms. Scott would also inform me if doing something was a bad idea and educate me on a different approach, that was effective and saved time and money. I will use Ms. Scott to represent me in the future and I would recommended her to anyone needing legal assistance for a fair price and comfortable no pressure representation.

I am a father and I could not have gotten my daughter back in my arms without the tremendous work done by Alexis Scott. I now have my five-year-old daughter back in my life AND with full custody after her mom abducted her and fled the state in 2009. I wasted precious time and money with the wrong lawyer for over a year. When I hired Alexis and Tony Solare they fixed the mistakes made by my previous lawyer and covered all the bases to ensure that I received full physical and legal custody of my daughter. It can go unmentioned how extremely difficult it is for a father to receive custody of his child, but she did it! They were great to work with and very flexible on money matters. I recommend them with 100% confidence; my only wish was that I went to them first, so I wouldn’t have wasted time and money with my previous lawyer.

At just 21 years old, my entire life changed, I was facing multiple false accusations resulting in multiple felony charges and facing a possible lengthy prison sentence. I do not come from money, I’ve never been in any legal trouble, I’ve never even had a speeding ticket, and all of the sudden all of my money was exhausted fighting this and it was looking as if I would be serving time for a crime I didn’t do. Logan stepped in, walked me through every step of his plan, took calls when he didn’t have to, listened to me rant and worry, never judging me, he listened to what I had to say, he promised he’d do the best he could, all while him and his wife were welcoming their baby into the world this man found the time to be there for me. Almost 3 years later, I am felony free, I am free of all charges, I have a 6 figure paying job, I just bought my first house at 24, and I get to start my life over. Life throws situations at you that you’ll never understand how or why, but Logan is a man that will use everything in his power to make those questions go away, make your nightmare a thing of the past, and make you look forward to life afterwards. When it comes to legal representation, a friend, and a good man, Logan exemplifies everything you could need in an attorney. He will have my business as long as he’s in practice.

Let me start off by saying I can't thank Logan enough for all his hard work. He took on a family member's case, which was very intense. Logan took the case head on and helped us remain calm through out the entire case, which felt like a roller coaster as we hoped we wouldn't hear the worst during each court. Logan was reassuring the whole time and responsive. He was in constant communication with all of us, and there were many of us constantly seeking updates. There was no question that was too dumb, nor did it phase him when I asked the same questions rephrased, as I wanted to make sure I understood. He was always very professional and checked in with us before walking into each court to give us a run down of what to expect, and gave us a summary as we walked out of court and told us what the next steps were. This case was a big deal because we were looking at a 10-15 year minimum sentence, and he got us the best deal possible. Jail time came out to 270 days. 270 DAYS! How Logan did it, I don't know, but he truly worked him magic and fought hard for us. I could not thank you Logan enough times, he got us out of a life altering jam. Highly recommend him!!

I'd like to start this reviewing by stating that this was my first time ever finding myself in legal trouble and it was for a false accusation that threatened to destroy my business and career, and, as the sole provider for my family, it put us all at extreme risk. Needless to say, this situation was horrifying and highly traumatic. I found myself in a place where I desperately needed someone to fight for me, hear me, and protect my business and my family. Unfortunately, the first place I turned to was a different firm unassociated with Logan Noblin. That firm was my first experience with a legal team, and the moment after I fired them and hired Logan it was plain to see how exceptional Logan is, and lightyears beyond the team I was working with originally. Logan was everything I thought I needed and more in an attorney. He was professional, strategic, compassionate, and, most importantly, someone who fought for me from our first moment to our last. He made sure I always felt informed of what was going on with my case, and understood the options. He never made me feel pressured or like we were going to give up. He listened to me when I had a concern or an idea. His performance in the trial was brilliant and it was obvious he had studied every angle he could use to help our case. In the end, Logan got my case dismissed, and saved me and my family from this nightmare. I pray and hope I never find myself in a legal situation ever again, but if I or anyone I knew needed legal help, I would without hesitation turn to the best attorney out there: Logan Noblin. Do yourself a favor and hire him. It could be the most important decision of your life. Thank you Logan.

Mr. Galasso was very compassionate from the very moment that I spoke to him on the phone. I explained to him how I was having anxiety with court (trying to get community service hours extended) and how my current public defender is very rude and lacks patience. Mr. Galasso put my mind at ease, and can work with your budget...if my current public defender continues to have a sour attitude towards me, I'm going to hire Mr. Galasso because he seems to be more professional, patient, and caring. He looks at his clients as individuals and cares about their situations. I definitely recommend Mr. Galasso!

Doug was upfront with me from our initial consultation and saw my cxase through from beginning to end. Unlike many other criminal defense attorneys, Doug doesn't try and pull this "extra fee required if you are held to answer after your Prelim Hearing." When he quotes you your fee, that is the fee regardless of whether your case goes to trial or is settled beforehand. Doug gets the job done and is nothing but honest and upfront with his clients all the way. I highly recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in legal trouble here in Santa Barbara.

Debra S. White is not only an excellent lawyer but also a better person. One of the most remarkable aspects of Debra’s practice is her unwavering commitment to her clients. Her empathy and dedication to her clients transcend the typical attorney-client relationship, making her a trusted ally in their most challenging times.

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.

Finding and choosing Dan Chambers was the best decision our family ever made. My brother was facing some extremely serious charges, including attempted murder, with an estimated 15 years to life of prison time ahead of him. As a family with limited financial resources, we knew we had to make the right choice the first time, and we’re so thankful we found Dan. From the very beginning, Dan's team was nothing short of amazing. When I first spoke with Lorena, Dan’s wife, she instantly made me feel comfortable and encouraged me to meet Dan in person. That meeting was a turning point for us. Dan’s demeanor, confidence, and extensive experience in fighting difficult cases immediately reassured us that we were in the right hands. Over the course of the next nine months, Dan tirelessly worked on our brother's case, both inside and outside the courtroom. What started as an attempted murder charge with an approximation of 15 years to life in prison was gradually reduced to, two years of probation with no jail time. This was nothing short of a miracle!!! Dan Chambers is not just an attorney; he is a dedicated advocate who genuinely cares about his clients and their families. His professionalism, kindness, and unwavering support gave us hope during one of the most challenging times in our lives. We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Jessica, Dan’s assistant, and the entire team for their support and compassion. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you with everything he’s got, who will stand by your side and guide you through the darkest of times, Dan Chambers is the one you need. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Our family is forever thankful for the incredible outcome he achieved. Thank you, Dan, from the bottom of our hearts.

My partner and I had the pleasure of working with Dan Chamberlain , and I can confidently say he is the most honest and respectful lawyer I've ever encountered. My partner and I wholeheartedly recommend him.I trusted my instincts, and he truly delivered on his promises. He was always responsive, took the time to explain everything clearly, and made us feel valued throughout the process. What truly stood out was how transparent Dan was about fees. After our case concluded, he took the initiative to review our billing and promptly refunded us the amount that wasn't used. This level of honesty is rare in the legal field, and it speaks volumes about his commitment to clients. If you’re looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares about his clients and works tirelessly for their best interests, look no further! Thank you for your excellent service! Sandra And Awad

I found Peter Blair online when I was falsely accused in a DVRO case. From our very first conversation, he explained that the allegations were severe enough to potentially lead to criminal charges if not handled correctly. Initially he focused on preventing the prosecutor from filing any charges, emphasizing that there was no basis for the allegations. I highly recommend Peter Blair for anyone facing a DVRO case or any legal matter requiring swift and decisive action. Due to visa concerns and only a 60-day deadline to resolve my case, Peter and his team acted with urgency, ensuring the case was dismissed before the deadline. The evidentiary hearing was handled with remarkable skill; he finished it in just one day, demonstrating a sharp ability to make quick, strategic decisions that shifted the case in our favour. The cross-examination was impressive—he exposed the lies of the petitioner with precision, unraveling the false narrative that had been built against me. Peter Blair's courtroom expertise, and focus on achieving the best possible outcome are commendable. Thanks to him and his team, a highly stressful and challenging situation was resolved quickly and successfully.I highly recommend Peter and his team if facing similar challenges.
