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.

Asher Hoffman met and surpassed any expectation I had while in an already stressful situation. From the moment we first spoke he left me at east and kept me in the loop every step of the way. Any time I had a question/ concern he had an answer and a solution right away. Asher got me to some great doctors and completed my case in a much shorter period than I had anticipated. I highly recommend Asher to anybody who may be in need of his services.

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.

I am so blessed to have found Lawyer Seppi! I have never been in this situation where I needed a lawyer and don’t plan to ever again, but Seppi made this experience as easy as possible. 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!!!

DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM – GROSS NEGLIGENCE AND EXTREME OVERBILLING
If I could give Aldi Law Firm zero stars, I would. As a small business owner, I trusted them to defend me in a case, but it turned into a nightmare. They extremely overbilled me for work they clearly never did, fabricating tasks to inflate their invoices. They even had the audacity to threaten to stop working on my case if I didn’t pay their outrageous bills within 10 days.
The worst part? After months of paying their exorbitant fees, I hired a new lawyer and discovered that the Plaintiff’s attorney had no idea I even had representation—Aldi Law Firm never contacted them. This is gross negligence and an insult to any client who expects their lawyer to actually do their job.
Their actions caused me months of extreme emotional distress and financial strain, as they took advantage of me during an already difficult time. This firm is unethical, unprofessional, and, frankly, a disgrace to the legal profession. When I advised them the plaintiffs attorney didn’t even know I had representation they ignored my email. Like most emails sent to them. They never update you and send you to a portal that rarely works for updates. My new attorney was completely shocked at the gross negligence of Adli Law.
Aldi Law Firm should be disbarred for their conduct. Avoid them at all costs unless you enjoy being overcharged for absolutely nothing!

Do Not Do Business with this firm!!! No knowledge of construction or contract law!!!
I hired this firm on September 18th to represent me in a case of a dispute between me and my contractor who didn't finish building my pool and disappeared. Pretty straight forward case for anyone who have done any construction / contract law. This firm charged me $5,000 retainer and started communication with me explaining how complicated my case is. They kept sending me bills and kept explaining that the case is complicated. By November, Nothing was filed and I've been charged almost $3,000 out of my retainer. Frustrated I called Dr. Adli and left him a message expressing my feelings. They were doing the research on my dime. I asked to stop the representation and return the rest of my retainer. They replied with a copy of the complaint ready to be filed with the court and charged me additional $1500 for it. The complain they prepared and charged me for was absolutely useless as the contract had an arbitration clause and all they needed to do to start the process was initiating the arbitration.

If you’re a creative, especially in film in LA, find a law group that knows how to handle a contract and negotiate things in favor of their clients.
I’ve been an author for 12 years, and I would not recommend at all.

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.

- 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.
