Hired them to do a post-conviction case review (which, to be fair, was decently thorough) and it was supposed to be applied towards any legal work. They ended up wanting to refer us to another counsel after the person whose case it is got upset about the options being presented and expressed this verbally, but not disrespectfully, over the phone to the case manager. They did NOT honor the agreement that the case review investment would be applied to future legal work. They also had another staff member call by proxy to give us this news, rather than having the case manager involved call us directly. This brings up the question: if you can't handle a little heat, how in the world are you going to be fighters in Court? Quick to take the money, but short on empathy or tolerance in understanding people's situations.

Another person posted the pros and cons of this firm and some of them I agree with and some of them I disagree with. The original post is below and at the end I'll give my opinion where I agree and disagree. "Here are the honest PROS and CONS of Spolin Law. READ THIS FIRST if you are thinking of hiring them. PRO: They do criminal law appeals and seem to know this material well. Their posts indicate that cases have multiple attorneys assigned. Always better to have a team of lawyers than just one person. There is an actual support staff helping on cases They have a ton of success stories in the media, so it looks like they can get results. Just google "Spolin Law client walks free" for one example. CON: They are not a generalist firm that can just handle anything, like dui, immigration, suing the government and that type of stuff. They are not a guarantee that you will win. Some firms in other areas of law can guarantee success, like a business incorporation attorney. They don't seem to work for free. A recent law school graduate might be more willing to take on a free case for publicty, but it doesn't seem like they need publicity. This is not the cheap dollar-store option. " I agree with some but not all of this. I agree with most of the general points but I disagree with two things listed here. Disagreement number one is that they say a person can not guarantee success in criminal law but that is not true because you could have a great case and know that you are going to win like the OJ Simpson case where there were five or six expensive lawyers for OJ and they were bound to win from the start if you think about it. Disagreement number two is that you can not rely on other posts to know how many attorneys are assigned to a case, because seeing stuff in the media where there were multiple attorneys does not mean that every case has multiple attorneys.

I highly recommend Spolin Law! Attorney Aaron is an amazing person and extremely responsible for his client. I had an dispute with my former client and caused some trouble to my firm. And he would listen to my side of the story and patiently guided me through the whole complicated legal process. He is very knowledgeable in terms of insurance law and gave me priceless advice during every process. More importantly, he, for the whole time, has been extremely proactive on my case. He always made contact, followed up and kept me updated with the status of the case. I can imagine that he has done a great deal of work and explanation on behalf of my firm to deal with the prosecutor. Eventually he got my case dismissed. 5 Stars are way not enough to value his constant professionalism, profound experience and excellent service!

In 2019 I was arrested in Pasadena facing 25 years. this was my first time ever being arrested or charged with a crime, and I had 5 felonies. I thought my life was over. The first 3 times I went to (Pasadena) court I was assigned a public defender, who was not only extremely busy with other cases, but also did not seem to believe that I was telling the truth. After speaking with other inmates I had my father contact the Shouse Law Group, where I was placed in contact with attorney Karthik Krishnan. He immediately set up a meeting to come and visit me, where I explained my situation. Unlike with my public defender I really felt that Karthik wanted to help me, and that he would do everything in his power to help me. Within 2 weeks we had made more progress than in the previous 3 months, and my outlook on the situation began to change. I remember one day Karthik was visiting me, and he could see that I was very stressed. He asked what I was concerned about, and I explained that I was loosing hope and that I didn’t know if I would ever see the outside would again. After patiently listening Karthik then explained his step by step game plan for every single one of those concerns. I cannot tell you what a difference this made, I went back to my cell filled with hope. This hope was kept alive due to the great communication he had with me, I never felt forgotten. I stopped worrying about getting “lost in the system” because I knew he wouldn’t let that happen. Karthik seemed to take a lot of pride in helping me, and I could see that he was actively motivated to get me justice. This in turn motivated me to stay out of trouble in the jail, and to not give up, something many inmates around me had done. I really felt that he went above and beyond to help me not only understand the laws and the legal side, but to also show me that my life wasn’t over. In the end I was sentenced to formal probation, with a program instead of state prison. I could not have been more satisfied with this outcome. Karthik even explained that in a few years I have an opportunity to reduce my felonies to misdemeanors, and that he would be able to help me with that too. He went above and beyond to help me, and I could not have been more grateful to have found him and this firm.

We just can't say enough good things about our experience with the Shouse Law Group and our attorney David Woolf especially.

Highly recommend them.

I got the impression he was generally incompetent. Spoke with him and he did some grandstanding about how law is like sorcery and made vague and general statements, then offered to take the case for 30k. An oxygen abuser. He replied to this and seemed to think he can authenticate telephone calls with a survey; demonstrating his competency and aptitude. Always do these tests before hiring an attorney.

5.0 star rating In 2019, my son was arrested and was accused of a serious crime. His case was deemed "difficult to defend". My son was looking at life in prison and I needed to find a great lawyer to help him. We looked at some lawyers but then we saw the Law Offices of Shaun Khojayan & Associates. We immediately called and was greeted by Gracie. She was kind, helpful, and understood our emotions. She set an appointment for us to meet with Shaun Khojayan. Once we meet with him we knew he was the one that would defend my son. He was very helpful and we were delighted to hear that he was able to take on the case. We hired him and it was the best decision I made for my son. During the preliminary hearing, he and his wife did an amazing job defending my son and found inconsistency in his case. After the preliminary hearing, Shaun wrote to the D.A to dismiss his case, and then we waited. While we waiting to hear back from the D.A we entered the COVID pandemic and my son's court dates were delayed. Despite the many delays, Shaun constantly stayed in contact with my family for updates and we appreciated the communication on his part. His hard work paid off when my son got a miracle deal. His letter worked, and my son was released from jail. He was able to return home after 13 months. We are so thankful to Shaun and his law firm for working hard to defend my son's case. Highly recommend Law offices of Shaun Khojayan & Associates to anyone who is in need of legal services. They make you feel supported and are always there to help you.

Shaun, First and foremost we would like to say that without your help, knowledgeable advice and dedication we would not be able to enjoy the new life that we have now been granted. For many years my father and I have been terrified that one day this would still be hanging over his head and possibly lose the opportunity of our family being whole. During the hearing we were nervous and terrified, even after hearing the word granted we still weren’t sure what exactly was going on. It’s been stressful and some what nerve racking throughout the entire process. We couldn’t have done any of this without you. I know my father now feels that sense of freedom that for so long has been trying to feel. My children will definitely get to see their grandfather as they grow, I will be able to live my life knowing that my father will no longer have the possibility of deportation hanging around. It is a great feeling for all of us. We want to thank you so much for being as active and precise as you were through this entire process and we couldn’t have asked for better representation. A long and hard road it has been yet now it has become a smooth sail for us. Thank you so much, we appreciate everything you did for us and we will definitely never forget this moment and you as well. Again from the bottom of our hearts we thank you, my family thanks you, and we wish nothing but the best for you and your family as well. God bless.

Nicholas helped me understand every step of the process, which can feel overwhelming and confusing. He was always available by phone or email if I ever had a question or concern.

Attorney Chesley helped fight for me and got me the best deal he could negotiate with the prosecutor after 4 months of hard work. This was way better than I was hoping for.

I was quite impressed with Mat Rochlin. I have been in business for almost 50 years and one thing I alway hate is legal headaches. Mat did a great job of communicating and keeping me in the loop. At the same time he kept things moving forward and did a great job of closing this off before trial. Keeping costs unproductive losses and time down. I have great respect for his keeping me calm while I was put off by false and inflated claims by the opposing side. He can do a secondary job of being is Shrink for keeping my feet on the ground while I was angry over being made to be seen in an inappropriate and unflattering light. I would very much recommend him for his astute legal acumen and skillful maneuvering in todays complex legal waters. Try him out you won't be disappointed.

I reached out to several lawyers prior to obtaining Brian Hurwitz as my lawyer. It was clear from our first phone conversation that he was the guy for the job. My case initially started with a restraining order. It then went to three felonies (two being violent felonies) and a restraining order. I literally saw my life drastically changing for the worst right before my eyes. Brian had the courage to pick up both of my cases. The victim, who was my ex girlfriend, was doing everything in her power to make my life miserable and put me in jail for a long time. While Brian did not promise an end result, he promised that he would fight hard for the best outcome for me. There were many plot twists and turns throughout my case and during the restraining order process. Brian was able to weave through all of them and use his knowledge to get us out unscathed. It was obvious that Brian had many years of experience in the courtroom. He appeared to be well known, which is always a plus. He always came in professionally suited as well as his team. Brian saved my job and my future! After almost two long years, I am extremely happy to announce that I only have one NON VIOLENT misdemeanor and NO felonies! I am able to have my misdemeanor expunged in one year. I was never put on probation during or after the process. If you are reading my review, I HIGHLY recommend that you STOP looking elsewhere and hire this savvy man! He gave me hope in one of the darkest times of my life. I cannot brag on him enough! Thank you, Brian for all that you did for me. I appreciate you immensely and have a high level of respect for you! Hire him NOW! Best regards, Shemiah

If you are in search for a lawyer, stop looking and dial the Hurwitz Law Group NOW! I reassure you from my own experience you will not regret it. Brian is very good at what he does and knows exactly what you need to resolve your problem. He will take care of you and your case in the most professional and honest way. I am so happy my boyfriend and I trusted Brian to represent us. My boyfriend was wrongfully convicted for a GTA criminal case for driving my car that was under the name of my ex. My ex reported it stolen out of jealousy and my boyfriend was pulled over and arrested for driving the vehicle. Brian reassured us what my ex did was wrong and he would not get away with false allegations. Brian was so amazing we never had to step a day in court. In fact, he had the case dismissed before even being filed into the system! My boyfriend and his entire family were in such emotional and mental distress. My boyfriend was facing up to a year in prison, deportation and a nasty criminal record. Brian took care of it all and made it all go away in a snap of a finger. If I ever have any inconvenience in my life he’s the only person I would to turn to for legal representation moving forward. Brian was communicative, professional, empathetic, great at listening and very supportive every step of the way through email and over the phone. If you’re looking for someone you can trust your every penny and faith in this is your man ! Give him a call , you’ll see exactly what I mean ! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ????????
