I will forever be grateful. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DAVID M. Wallin.

I have nothing but high praises for this law firm. Yvonne helped me throughout my very long drug court case. When I was incarcerated I would call them to get updates on my case and Yvonne always answered in a good uplifting attitude and brightened my day no matter the news I received. To this day Yvonne and her co-workers are still helping me in my case. I highly recommend Law offices of David M. Wallin to anyone seeking lawful help. Yvonne your the Best!!! =)

Called a number of firms. This was the only one to answer. Chelsey was knowledgeable and they were willing to wait for me to get there. Court was the following day so there was a bit of panic. This was for a restraining order for a false allegation of domestic violence. Met with David Wallin & he had a plan.Have been working with Bart as our assigned Attorney & Chelsey as the best paralegal in my opinion. This was for my Son. They have filed everything needed and my Son went from extremely worried to being able to finally breath & feel that the truth was going to be enough. But this has only been possible due to a competent group of people. Thank you for picking up the phone

I was amazed by the professionalism of the staff at the Law Offices of David M. Wallin. We had a relative out of the country that had trouble entering into the U.S. due to an outstanding bench warrant that was issued some time ago. David Wallin and his staff immediately took action on the case and within a week convinced the judge to recall the warrant and on top of that, the case was terminated by the judge. We were very pleased with the result and Yvonne kept us informed throughout the process. Thank you!

I hired Andrew and Yvonne to represent me in a difficult, protracted legal situation, during which I had lost hope and became disillusioned with the justice system. I was ready to give up, but Andrew and Yvonne assured me to stay the course. They provided crucial legal advice and emotional support in a trying time for me and my family. Andrew and Yvonne were personable, driven, passionate and highly knowledgeable of the law. In court proceedings, Andrew was professional and highly-regarded by his peers. In the end, I trusted their judgment and we won the case. Andrew and Yvonne went above and beyond their obligations. I would not hesitate to work with them again. I consider myself fortunate both to have them represent me and to know them personally. I highly recommend The Leventhal Firm. They care about their clients and will fight for you.

Everyone at one point or another makes a mistake they wish they could take back while enduring the repercussions of their act. When the law is concerned, the fate of ones’ life can seem to be decided as nonchalant as a casual business conversation. In my case, I revealed my violation when I was applying for the police department to prove my honesty and show that I was ready to start making a difference in my community. My interview soon became an interrogation, and not long after I was charged with three felonies. When I came to Tom Medrano with my case, he immediately began to draw up a plan and described everything in detail what he would do. He used simple anagrams that explained how to go about dealing with the situation and gave counsel with the sense of optimism I needed. Most importantly, by the impression I gathered, he could empathize with my predicament whereas the justice system only made me feel like an outcast among society. I followed instruction by seeing the therapist and psychologist he recommended personally. At the final hearing my case was dropped to a single charge, with no jail time, and a short period of probation. I felt like I could finally relax after being so stressed from the matter. I was very pleased with all Tom had been able to work out. Not only did he reduce the typical sentence, he was able to arrange for a second set of terms. Halfway through my probation we would return to court, reduce the felony to a misdemeanor, discard the remaining time of probation, and expunge the charge from my criminal record. Just as he had planned, the court agreed to dismiss my case. I want to thank Tom so much for representing me and all his hard work. I feel confident I can move on with my life without the burden of my past hindering my future.

Simon gets a BIG THUMBS UP!!! He is a remarkable attorney in many ways. When talking to him, it doesn't feel like you're talking to a lawyer, but to a friend. He listens carefully with a genuine, sympathetic ear because he really cares about his clients. What I appreciated the most is his thorough knowledge of the law, coupled with his experience, because he was able to give me a clear picture about the process and what I could expect regarding my case. In short, he put my mind at ease very quickly because he is an exceptional attorney with great communication skills and smarts. If you are feeling anxiety and want to hire an advocate who will fight for you, getting you the best outcome possible, do not hesitate to go with Simon Aval! It will be the best decision you've ever made. I couldn't be happier with my choice!

Wow...wow...wow!!! Simon Aval is a 10 star not a five star. Simon has handled my brothers case not once but twice for the same possession with priors. Simon is an attorney who is dedicated to his clients and his clients families. He does not sympathize with one because of the circumstances, he takes it personally as if it was one of his loved ones incarcerated. Simon has passion and loves what he does and has proven it to our family twice. A conviction that should have been 12-20 years due to priors and was looking at a strike, was sentenced to four years with half, county time, and no strike. His dedication is factual and Simon does not sugar coat anything. He makes sure you understand all the fine lines and clarifies what we are not knowledgeable with the law and our rights. Our communication was exceptional and I was kept up to date with the case if there were any changes. Nothing was ever hidden. If you are looking for the BEST CRIMINAL ATTORNEY, look no further...Simon is the one!!!

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 ????????

If you are facing a difficulty like I did just 6 months ago, please read this review because Martin might be able to save you. I'm using my personal account so that everyone can know this review is a genuine and coming from real experience. I was involved in a very complicated situation and was facing some serious consequences due to my status as an F-1 Visa holder. I spoke to many different lawyers, and I can guarantee you that many lawyers are not really interested in person who you are, or about the truth of the matter. Even worse, some lawyers tried to used my fear as a leverage to get my money. Martin was my savior. He was very honesty from the beginning to the end. In every important steps and decision, he explained the situation and what are the possible outcomes based on his best knowledge. He also spent a significant amount of time just to hear my stories, even when it was not necessary. In terms of fee for his service. I believe his price is very reasonable and flexible. He really went beyond his duty to get the best possible outcome for me, and I can guarantee you that he will do the same for you. If you read my review until now, that means that you are likely in situation where you are looking for a good partner, and I feel you. I was in your shoe and was so lost. He is an unique and unprecedented lawyer unlike many others- a lawyer who actually cares of people. If you want to hear more of my experience with him, I'm more than willing to do so. Simply reach out to me to this account. I wish you the best.

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.

Stephen & Kenneth are the best lawyer we’ve ever met! My friend was charged for 3 felony charges and it could be like 8 years jail time for him. When my friend got arrested and I was so nervous and stressful. I called more than 10 lawyers to seek for lawful advise. Stephen is the only lawyer who provided his own cell phone number and spent hours of time to explain the situation for my friend and what he could do to help my friend. He also helped me to contact the bailed bond agent Anthony to bail my friend out. Thanks for Stephen & Anthony quick response, I could bail my friend out in few hours. Stephen & Kenneth are very professional and experienced. And due to the pandemic, they understand it’s not easy for us to pay them right away. They provided us the flexible payment plan with the ongoing exceptional services. Eventually, they help my friend to get these charges dismissed!

Stephen and Kenneth have done exceptional work and helped me through some tough times. I was involved in a DV situation where I was wrongfully arrested. Through their diligence and hard work, I had no case filed against me. The DA dismissed the entire case as insufficient evidence. Stephen and Kenneth also successfully helped me prepare a persuasive letter to my future employers when the same DV situation came up on a background check. They are responsive, easy to talk to, and genuinely care for their clients. While no one wants to be in a position where they need a criminal attorney, having one with proven success is assuring.

We feel very fortunate to have found Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Kahn and for having them represent my loved one’s case. It is very difficult to have a loved one going through an uncertain and scary situation, in a different state, particularly when you don’t know the state’s law or how to navigate the justice system. I desperately called many attorneys in CA looking for help and Mr. Rodriguez was the only one who called me back and patiently guided me through next steps. He and his partner, Mr Kahn, have always kept us informed and both of them fought very hard for my loved one’s case. They have the human element that is often lost in the justice system. They advocate for your case and are kind and informative. Despite the pandemic, they remained committed. We couldn’t have asked for better representation and are forever grateful to them!

I typically do not write reviews, but I felt that the law office of Stephen G. Rodriguez & Partners really deserves some commendation. Specifically Stephen G. Rodriguez himself. I hired him to help me on a legal matter and from day one he didn't rest. His diligence and tenacity towards my case was nothing short of admirable. He spent countless hours in person, over the phone and researching to ensure the best outcome. Opposing counsel was difficult to work with but he never gave up. This led to a successful case, he got my case dismissed, with prejudice so that I am also protected in the future.. I always felt at ease when talking to him. If you ever find yourself in need of a trustworthy defense attorney that will fight for you he is your man. His long tenure will outshine others without a doubt. He is truly genuine and cares about his clients. I give my highest recommendation.

A year ago, I was involved in a hit-and-run (I was the one hit) and officers came to the scene only to arrest me for suspicion of a DUI. With my profession on the line, I had no option but to get a lawyer. I chose Ann Gottesman after my partner and I read some of her reviews online. When I contacted her, she was sincere in her sympathy for my situation and VERY HELPFUL prior to me making a commitment to her as my lawyer. Once I chose Ms. Gottesman as my lawyer, she took care of several of the confusing steps that needed to be taken in order for me to get my license back and drive ASAP. Additionally, she patiently guided me through the process of tasks I needed to complete independently, so I could increase the odds of beating my case. Ann did a great job of communicating the reality of my situation while being reassuring and positive. I was appreciative of her approach because dealing with a DUI is mentally taxing (especially during a pandemic). After a year of having my case pushed back, Ann was able to get my motion heard by a judge to get a dismissal; despite her recognizing that it was a long shot. Thanks to Ann’s expertise, I was able to get a very favorable outcome for my case. Ann’s professionalism, compassion, and dedication towards me and my situation, got me through a dreadful year and a half. I could not be more grateful to have chosen Ann as my lawyer. It was one of the luckiest choices we have ever made. I truly can’t imagine a better lawyer suited to take on a person’s case.

I called around before I found Ann. Every lawyer previous to speaking with her was not very optimistic about my possibilities. Also they were charging a very step rate. Ann right away empathized during times like these and negotiated a very fair price. She was very optimist, energetic, and positive. I really felt she was going to fight for me. She gave me all the steps I need to take and educated me about the process. Ann was able to get my entire case closed with a very tough judge. She has great relationships in Pasadena and is well respected. I couldn’t of asked for a better lawyer that really does do her job and works for her Clients.

I was looking for an Attorney and called the California State Bar, they referred me to three different Attorneys. One of them was Ms. Ann Gottesman when I spoked to Ms. Gottesman, she made me feel very comfortable giving me that sense of peace. I was not wrong about this, throughout the time of my case she was always there to take my calls to answer all my concerns. She always returned my calls. I was never given the run around. She is a true professional and always took the time to explain my case. If you are looking for an Attorney, you are definitely in the right hands.

So you caught a case. You're worried about how you're going to pay for an attorney , how long you will sit in jail, how much your bond will be, and what life will be like after court. I was there too. I had talked to so many attorneys on free consults and it was always the same "pitch". They would use words to make me even more worried and overwhelmed by the whole mess. Fear was the tool they used most to try and get me to sign up with them. Some were rude. I had one laugh at me for not acting on the case sooner. They would always ask how much money or credit i had. That is understandeable. They wanted to "qualify" the sale and see if i was a good fit for their time and budget. The prices that these attorneys quoted me were way out of my budget. I assumed if i wanted the best i had to to pay the most. I assumed if they had a receptionist  take my number with a promise to call back then that meant  they were so busy they must be really good. Some never called back. I fell through the cracks on a simple follow up call with these "busy" attorneys. I dodged the bullet of neglect with these busy attorneys. Eventually i found Ann. She listened and asked questions. She never spoke in the way the other attorneys did. She never tried to scare me into taking action. She looked at everything objectively and educated me along the way through the whole process. She met me where i was on all levels. She was easy to get a hold of. She never lied. She painted the best case scenario and worst case scenario along the way. I always look for someone who has at least 10 years in their profession. That is a sign of Mastery for me.  Ann has more than that under her belt. Her prices and payment plans were  very reasonable. I would not blame her if she had to start raising prices. Your results may vary. I had a case dismissed on a very complicated case. I wish you the best. You are in good hands with Ann. Much better hands than with a public "pretender" . I mean public defender. Get with Ann and get that weight off your shoulders.

I am super grateful for Ms. Gottesman. I knew from the moment we spoke over the phone that she was the lawyer for me. Her kind and gentle energy just pulled me in but she’s fierce in the courtroom and well respected! You always want to retain a lawyer that knows the judges and the DA’s respect. Ms. Gottesman is very professional, she fights hard for her clients she pulled a miracle out of the hat for me! I am so very pleased with the results Ms. Gottesman got for me. I’m free! I don’t even know how she made it happen for me but she did! :) She gets things done and I would hire her over and over again. Retaining her to be my lawyer was one of the best decisions I have ever made and if you are in need of an excellent criminal defense attorney Ann Gottesman is the lawyer to go with! Thank you Ann!:)
