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 had the pleasure of working with Pacific Health Law Firm and I can honestly say that their team went above and beyond in handling my case. From the very first consultation, I was impressed with their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine concern for my situation. The attorneys took the time to thoroughly explain the legal process, keeping me informed every step of the way. Their expertise and dedication were evident, and I felt supported throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal assistance. They truly care about their clients and deliver results.

Tony has a great analytical mind and a unique perspective when it comes to the law. I had the pleasure of working with him a few years ago on the East Coast. 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!

Someone close to me had to find an experienced attorney that specialized in school based allegations of misconduct. Alec Rose was recommended to me by another highly rated attorney. We feel truly blessed to have found Alec. If you are looking for a quality professional to help with your case, Alec isthe best. He answered all of our questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. He personally answered phone calls and texts in a timely manner. I was impressed by the fact that he took the time to check in frequently and he was well prepared when speaking on behalf of his client. His knowledge of the law blended seamlessly with his knowledge of topics relevant to the case that I would not even have thought of. Besides being worth every penny as a lawyer, he is truly a kind person. Do not hesitate to call him.

Bereliani Law Firm went beyond my expectations! Sanaz has a good team and thorough system to ensure your bankruptcy gets finalized. I am self employed, my case was more in depth. I interviewed several attorneys in San Diego and LA area and they were suggesting Chapter 13 and avoiding chapter 7 because of my equity in my home, they said I was limited on exemptions ie and my vehicle and personal property were at risk! Sanaz is very creative with creating and interpreting exemptions that the other attorneys NEVER mentioned and or understood, interpreting exemptions is very important, ie “Commercial Work Vehicle” (Truck) verses “vehicle”, that changed the game, the trustee wanted more money for my work truck and was also trying me on personal property and Sanaz put them in check! She got my Chapter 7 discharged, I kept my condo equity, I owed nothing for my commercial work truck and personal items. The other attorneys I interviewed were ok with having me agree to make an uncomfortable stressful payment plan to make it easy for them to file chapter 13…. Sanaz and her team tolerated all my calls and emails = STRESS and got me through it. Sanaz and her team are the ones you want to represent you!!! Worth every dollar!!! Thank you Sanaz!!!

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.

I highly recommend Jennifer Ghozland for anyone in need of expert legal assistance. She exemplifies professionalism, responsiveness, and an unwavering commitment to her clients. Working with Jennifer on an employment-related legal matter was a truly positive and reassuring experience, and I would not hesitate to work with her again in the future. Initially, I was apprehensive about navigating this complex matter, but Jennifer approached every step with patience and thoughtfulness. She took the time to carefully strategize with me, presenting various paths forward and helping me make informed decisions at every critical juncture. Her skillful negotiation on my behalf resulted in a highly favorable outcome, for which I am immensely grateful. As a busy professional, I especially appreciated how Jennifer seamlessly managed every aspect of my case, allowing me to focus on my work with confidence that I was in capable hands. When addressing sensitive employment issues, Jennifer demonstrates an exceptional ability to truly listen, understand her clients’ unique experiences, and articulate their stories in a manner that is both authentic and compelling. I was referred to Jennifer by another attorney, which speaks volumes about her stellar reputation among both colleagues and clients. Her expertise, empathy, and dedication make her an outstanding advocate and legal professional.

Mr. Hankoff represented me in my DUI case, and I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. I reached out to his firm the morning after I was pulled over, feeling overwhelmed and anxious about what lay ahead. From our first conversation, he made a strong impression—his confidence and professionalism immediately put me at ease. He assured me that he would leave no stone unturned in my defense, and he truly delivered on that promise. While Mr. Hankoff and Mr. Kraut’s firm is large and handles many cases, their expertise is evident. They may not provide constant hand-holding, but their knowledge and strategic approach make them highly effective. After eight months, my case was ultimately dismissed. Watching Mr. Hankoff argue on my behalf in court was incredibly reassuring. He handled every aspect of the case with skill and professionalism, countering every argument with precision and ensuring that my side was presented in the best possible light. Given what was at stake for my future, I am beyond grateful for the outcome. If you’re looking for a strong legal team that knows how to navigate the system and fight for you, I highly recommend Mr. Hankoff, Mr. Kraut, and his firm.

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. White as My Criminal Defense Attorney. In the recent disposition of the case, I benefited with the Best Outcome and Best Prospects for My Future because of Debra. 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. Best Knowledge of and Access to other Resources to bring in 6. 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. I will always be Indebted and Extremely Grateful to Debra S White and Her Life-saving and Life- Changing Influences on My Life and Future.

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.

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 had the pleasure of working with Pacific Health Law Firm and I can honestly say that their team went above and beyond in handling my case. From the very first consultation, I was impressed with their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine concern for my situation. The attorneys took the time to thoroughly explain the legal process, keeping me informed every step of the way. Their expertise and dedication were evident, and I felt supported throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal assistance. They truly care about their clients and deliver results.

Michael Goldstein is by far the best lawyer i’ve ever had the pleasure to meet and beyond grateful he is representing my husband during this awful series of events. He was initially charged with 2 counts of premeditated attempted murder. Mr. Goldstein worked magic and allowed my husband the opportunity to obtain a plea bargain that included dismissing the more serious charges and entering a plea to one count of assault with a firearm, a non-violent offense which enabled him to serve only 50% time. Our time with Mr. Goldstein was all around a 10/10. From the beginning to the end. Every encounter with Mr. Goldstein calmed any nerves we had. He personally met with us and appeared at every single court hearing (most other lawyers send their not so inclined nor convincing representatives) and also personally visited the jail on multiple occasions to speak with and confirm the safety of my husband. If you are in need of help you must reach out to Mr. Goldstein, it will not be a waste of money or your time. My respect and gratefulness is beyond words.

A friend of mine whom ive known for 20+ years referred me to the Goldstein Law Group and it was a perfect fit. Mr Goldstein is charismatic and handled all the leg work for my case. Communication was excellent i never had to worry about what was going on he kept me updated and in the end got my case dismissed. I only need to appear one time for the Judge and everything else was taken care of. Im so grateful for the professional and diligence of Mr Goldstein. Thank you for making this experience one with out stress. Appreciate you

I highly recommend Jennifer Ghozland for anyone in need of expert legal assistance. She exemplifies professionalism, responsiveness, and an unwavering commitment to her clients. Working with Jennifer on an employment-related legal matter was a truly positive and reassuring experience, and I would not hesitate to work with her again in the future. Initially, I was apprehensive about navigating this complex matter, but Jennifer approached every step with patience and thoughtfulness. She took the time to carefully strategize with me, presenting various paths forward and helping me make informed decisions at every critical juncture. Her skillful negotiation on my behalf resulted in a highly favorable outcome, for which I am immensely grateful. As a busy professional, I especially appreciated how Jennifer seamlessly managed every aspect of my case, allowing me to focus on my work with confidence that I was in capable hands. When addressing sensitive employment issues, Jennifer demonstrates an exceptional ability to truly listen, understand her clients’ unique experiences, and articulate their stories in a manner that is both authentic and compelling. I was referred to Jennifer by another attorney, which speaks volumes about her stellar reputation among both colleagues and clients. Her expertise, empathy, and dedication make her an outstanding advocate and legal professional.

At the most stressful time in my life, the Manshoory Law Group came as a huge source of calm and relief - The whole team, especially my attorney, Travis Sabaitis, kept me informed and reassured throughout the entire process. They took care of everything so that I had minimal involvement in the difficult processes, but checked in frequently and responded quickly whenever I had questions, and were available to call anytime I needed them. They won an almost unbelievably favorable outcome to my case as well; Travis managed to achieve what I was unable to even hope for at the beginning. I am so grateful for their hard work and compassion throughout this process, and would absolutely recommend their services to anyone in need of a highly competent and kind law team.

Definitely would not recommend using Judge Amy Pellman for mediation services. She was incredibly biased from the start and made an unprofessional comment within 10 minutes of the session starting. Should’ve ended it there instead of wasting an entire day making zero progress on any kind of settlement. She was only interested in assisting one side on their goals, and did not advocate for me on any points. She might’ve been a great judge but clearly needs some more experience in mediation, where the purpose is to try and reach an agreement between both parties- not decide who she thinks is right and pursue their interests only. We hired another mediator after this failed session and had immediate success with them.

And after meeting Seppi in his office, I felt even better because he was so kind, personable, patient, and understanding. He answered every question I had and kept me updated. I listened to every word he said, and because of that my case was dismissed before our court date and I remain with a completely clean record! I cannot thank this law firm enough!!!

I was put on the streets so I could not fight a case against police when the police illegally impounded my RV I was living in. I was getting harassed everyday by them, now homeless until I was able to put enough money together and bought a truck. 2 weeks after buying this truck outright from dealer for $3000, I was pulled over for no reason. It was literally just so they could impound my brand new truck again and keep me on the street homeless. I spent all I had on truck so I could not get it out of impound and they sold it at auction leaving me homeless with nothing once again. Completely unaware that the cops actually wrote a ticket for this incident, I missed the court date because of them leaving me homeless with nothing for the second time and can’t get mail. They are charging me with misdemeanor drug possession, misdemeanor possession of tear gas. Like wtf (I had a can of pepper spray on a keychain under the seat. There also was no drugs so no paraphernalia want to plead not guilty and fight the case but I don’t want to lose my bed at homeless shelter by going to jail until court date. How can I do this?

Deciding to take legal action is something I never thought I would be faced with; it's very personal, emotional, and not an easy feat.

He never discouraged me and He always had comforting words knowing the situation I was in. He was always very honest and very professional.

We could not have asked for better representation, on behalf of my mother, than Michael Kade. From day one he was kind, informed, totally present for us and offered full transparency on all the steps that were to be taken in her case - and what we needed to do to properly prepare. My mother's English is a bit limited, and so it was of extreme value to us that he also speaks Farsi - So she was able to completely understand everything that was happening. We felt 100% taken care of and in the best hands. He is highly recommended!

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

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.
  • 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.
  • Goals and objectives: Be clear about what you hope to achieve, whether it's dismissing charges, reducing penalties, or addressing registration as a sex offender.

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