Best defense lawyer on the east coast. Former prosecutor so he knows the ins and outs of the system. VBPD plays dirty so you need someone like Taite with a strong backbone and the expertise to back it up

Excellent lawyers very helpful in navigating the legal system. Very kind, explains the process and choices available to you.

When Taite Westendorf returned my call, I had already hired an attorney but he still offered to answer any questions I have. I told him he had a great voice and seemed like he should be on have a youtube channel or podcast. He said he actually did have a podcast and suggested I check out his and Bassel’s website. I have spent the last two hours reading the blog and listening to the podcast. A bit irreverent, but entertaining and extremely informative, I have enjoyed both, and dowloaded their guides for reading later. There is a wealth of information on their website, especially for someone like me, who is totally clueless about criminal law. Even if you cannot hire these guys, check out their free guides,( real guides, not a few pages of bullet points!) and listen to their podcasts. As a one time, five year resident of the San Francisco Bay area, I enjoyed the interview with Tom Murphy the most. Leaving San Fran in the 90’s and returning in 2017 was a tragic wakeup call to the failure of San Francisco as well as Cal state politics. I hope The Misters Westendorf and Khalaf find time for some new podcasts in 2024. They are brilliant and exceptionally entertaining. To have dealt with the heavy workload of public defendants, low pay rate, in serious felony cases, these guys seem refreshingly light hearted, confident as well as competent.

The epitome of professionalism and connecting with the everyday person. Great experience in Virginia Beach on a minor, as well as major infraction. Highly recommend! Bassel Khalif!!!

Mr. Westendorf really helped me out in my time of need . He gave me confidence at my lowest points during the case. Gave me a sense of security and made me feel like he was going to make sure I came out with the best outcome possible for my case . He is an all around great guy. Worked with me and my family till the end . The Best lawyer in the world, knows the law like the back of his hand . I felt safe and he was always on top of every detail and always communicated with me when it came down to anything important I needed to know . I would recommend him to anyone ever in my life who asks me about a lawyer. I was very happy with my outcome and I can’t thank him enough. He is a modern day Super Hero in a lawyer suit. I am forever grateful

Mr. Khalaf is a professional and caring attorney. He is knowledgeable, honest and very responsive. He kept us informed every step of the way- ensuring that he explained what was to come and answered our questions thoroughly. He went above and beyond and we are very grateful. He even followed up and checked in on us after providing guidance. Thank you, Mr. Khalaf for your compassion and expertise!

Mr. Taite is the best lawyer in the 757 hands down. He is very professional and extremely knowledgeable of the law. You will not be disappointed with his service. He's a part of our family for life.

My attorney was Bassell Khalaf and he did an excellent job at representing me. He was very professional and always returned phone calls He was very prepared for my case and did his research to back it up. I will use him again if the need ever arises. I highly recommend Mr Khalaf.

Taite Westendorf’s expertise in handling my DUI case was unparalleled. Not only did he successfully get my DUI charge dismissed, but he was incredibly communicative, reliable, and genuinely nice throughout the entire process. His dedication to my case and his professionalism left me extremely impressed and grateful. If you’re looking for a criminal defense attorney that will go above and beyond for you, you’re in the right place.

Very professional. Excellent communicators! Amenia is the best! You are in great hands!
