Scam artists. In it to get info. They work on the dark side.

I have received a return call..

hes the best lawyer and will fight for you all the way tooth and nail.. and hes grown to be a good friend to me ..if u want a very good real chance on winning your case I AM talking about REALLY winning go with TOM ..ANY ADVISE HE GIVES YOU LISTEN TO HIM ...HE TRULY KNOWS WHATS BEST FOR YOU IN YOUR KING OF CASE AND WHAT YOUR UP AGENTS

I had been advised by an award-winning trial defense lawyer to get in touch with Thomas Maas, who I was told was the "800 Pound Gorilla" in his area. Best of the best. The nickname proved to be accurate for my case. Maas Law Offices effectively prove innocence, they stay in front of every second-to-second situation in the courtroom. When it's crucial that you're in the right defense attorney's hands, this is who you need to retain. Thomas worked well beyond his contract to defend me... he turned out to be exactly who I hoped deep down my representation would be. In short terms, words that can be used to describe Thomas and Maas Associates are: intelligent, quick, sharp, strictly business, high-caliber legal defense. If you need someone to prove it, call Thomas Maas. I would trust any loved one with him as the best defense attorney that one can have. It doesn't matter what your situation... if you have Maas Associates representing you in court, you will get the best outcome that your case could ever have. Thomas was effectively able to masterfully navigate the courts and professionally prove all the points that I wished everyone in the courtroom knew. If you have Thomas Maas as your representation, you can rest assured that you have the most effective defense attorney possible.

I'm still waiting for positive results....we shall see..the truth shall set you free ....

I am so thankful to Mr.Maher and his support team, who helped my son get a not guilty verdict after false allegations. Men you do have a voice and Maher Law Group helped my son get his voice heard, and this time good prevailed. Thank you so much for proving his innocence. If you find yourself in trouble Mr Maher is there to help so call him no regrets.

Vince is the most amazing attorney ever! He made me feel so comfortable and at ease during the most anxiety ridden time in my life! I would completely recommend him to represent you 100 percent! Love him!

The very best In the business I will go nowhere else for all of my legal troubles. This man runs the court room he is well respected by everyone you’d be a fool to hire anyone else. Thank you again Vince I appreciate all the good work you did!

I was fasly accused of a crime. A person driving by thought they saw something that did not happen. 10 min later sitting on the porch of a church I was arrested. That's where my nightmare started. I was directed to Vince by a friend who told me that he was a tiger in the court room. They had experience with him from various family members through out some time. When I asked if he was any good they told me it was like asking if Mike Tyson knew how to box. I did my research, then retained Vince, and that's where I made the best desision I could have to prove my innocence. Vince told me he was going to jump out in front of this. Within the day there was a letter of representation sent to the DA office, and wiith nothing to do until the case was filed with the courts, I could do nothing but wait and worry. 2 weeks before the arraignment Vince called me, and this is where my nightmare ends. I was told he and the DA were discussing the case and went over the evidence. No charges are being filed and all charges and the arrest record will be erased! This is the absolute best outcome anyone could ask for. This whole thing sucks. I had to go through things I never wanted to experience in this life. But thanks to my friends recommendation, I retained Vince, and thanks to Vince the justice system corrected it's wrong. I can't thank you enough Vince. I hope I never have to need you again but I'm glad to know your number in case myself or anyone I know does. Do yourself a favor for your future. RIGHT NOW save Vince's number. Then send it to your mom, your wife, your father, uncle, children, and grandparents. None of you ever want to use it, and I hope you never do, but if the situation arises your help is only seconds away. I will update this review after my arrest record has been cleared.

Above and beyond. Hardly had to appear in court & got my case dropped. They made this process as easy and stress free as possible. Thank you!

I was emailing Jesse, sent him all my court information and he never got back to me. Called the office and they told me they would give my case to Carin, who I also sent everything to and all she did was ask for my phone number, which I sent and I never received a call or email or anything. Just a big waste of time. I was really trying to retain them since I read good reviews. I just had a bad experience with communication with them.

I was pulled over by CHP back in 2017 after cutting off a driver who had been going too slow in the left lane. The officer asked me if I had consumed any drinks that evening, and I answered truthfully -- yes, but I had stopped 4 hours ago. The "yes" was only the answer he was looking for, and I was forced out of my car for field sobriety testing. The officer administered the tests multiple times until he was satisfied that he had a result he could exploit, then placed me into the back of his patrol vehicle and hauled me off to county jail. When I was released the next day, I asked my attorney friends for recommendations for a good DUI attorney. When I explained the nuances of my arrest and the ramifications of a potential DUI conviction on my career to the recommended attorneys, several of them referred me to the person they said they would want to represent themselves: Peter Johnson. It is not an exaggeration to say that Peter has written the book on DUI defense, because he has, literally; search for "California Driving Under the Influence Defense" by Taylor and Johnson, and you'll find the 2020-2021 edition, published by Thomson Reuters. I scheduled an appointment and met with Peter a day or two later. We got straight to the facts while they were still fresh, both of us writing down everything, and then explained to me his strategy: trust nothing about the "facts" provided by the officer, but question and verify everything. He then got to work, and oh man, did he do a good job. The field test results were thrown out by the judge because they were found to be improperly obtained. The blood tests were also suspect, as the DA's office had their lab test them five (!!) times, with varying results each time. Their own lab director refused to testify to the veracity of the results, which is just mind boggling. Peter said that he would fight for me, and fight he did: my case was recently settled to my satisfaction. I hope that you do not need his services, but if you do, give him a call. You will not regret it.

With my experience: Peter Johnson was/is a very profession, straightforward and knowledgeable attorney and knows the laws both federal and state and your best interest at heart, giving you all the options that best suit my case. And Jen his associate was so helpful. She always kept me updated on all court dates, appearances. And answered all my question in a very efficient manner. After talking to her and Peter, before the phone call ended you knew everything would workout and everything would be fine. Thank you so much for all you have done and your still doing. If your looking for a great attorney give Peter a call...differently a 5 star representation.

Attorney Jesse Gill helped me get through a very difficult case. He was very generous with his time. He is also genuinely caring and compassionate. Excellent explanations and descriptions of my options. He always answered my calls and text messages within minutes or hours; never days. Best of luck in your journeys with CA's legal systems.

Highly recommend attorney Jesse Gill who judiciously yet thoughtfully spent time and effort with my niece to understand and address a complicated guardian case/issue. He was highly recommended to us by a very experienced well regarded attorney, Mr.Stone, and delivered as expected. We are most appreciative.

Attorney Jeffrey Kaloustian was easy to get a hold of and very helpful. I loved that he was detailed in how the process would go and used language I could understand. I hope not to have to use an attorney again but if I do I'll call him back.

Jeff has been incredibly helpful throughout my case. He was punctual, very knowledgeable, professional and kept all information about the case confidential. He worked on my case all around the clock and was able to get my case expunged. I’m not saying he will get all cases dismissed, but he’ll do his best and look at all angles to present the best case scenario for his clients. He goes above and beyond, as a client I couldn’t ask for anything more than that. I’ve personally recommended Jeff to several of my friends and family members and I would recommend him to anyone who looking for a lawyer that handles criminal and personal injury cases. He took care of me and my family, I know he’ll do the same for you. Thank you Jeff!

In short, Jeffrey was amazing to work with and he would be my first choice should I need legal counsel again. I don’t have much experience with attorneys and the exposure I did have was with my family’s representation in the past. He had since moved on to become a judge and I needed new counsel for a 3-pronged expungement case. I was looking for someone that felt trustworthy and able to communicate promptly AND in a way I’d be able to understand. I’m happy to report that he established trust and demonstrated amazing communication skills right off the bat. It really felt like he would fight for me. He would follow up regularly and was always encouraging and supportive. That was also important to me, as I do get kind of anxious. Personal skills aside, we were able to resolve my legal issues 3 for 3. So with me he bats 100. Jeffrey is smart, knowledgeable and experienced with the courts, attorneys and judges in the Bay Area. He has the credentials, he’s very easy to talk to, very kind and really provided me a great value. To Jeff, thank you so much for the hard work you do and to anyone else, I’d highly recommend giving him a call. -Michael

Jeff helped a co-worker navigate his way back to driving & helped me finally get answers the bureaucratic red tape would not. Thank you sir!

I have retained Jeffrey a couple times for different legal issues. Each time he took his time and achieved the best outcome on each issue. I highly recommend him if your looking for a lawyer who will take there time and put in the work necessary to resolve the issue at hand.

I’m happy to report that he established trust and demonstrated amazing communication skills right off the bat. It really felt like he would fight for me. He would follow up regularly and was always encouraging and supportive. That was also important to me, as I do get kind of anxious. Personal skills aside, we were able to resolve my legal issues 3 for 3. So with me he bats 100. Jeffrey is smart, knowledgeable and experienced with the courts, attorneys and judges in the Bay Area. He has the credentials, he’s very easy to talk to, very kind and really provided me a great value. To Jeff, thank you so much for the hard work you do and to anyone else, I’d highly recommend giving him a call. -Michael

I had a very delightful and successful experience with Mr. Kyle Humphrey and his law firm! I would highly HIGHLY recommend him. I'm sure he and his firm spent a lot of long days and nights working on my case. He truly valued me as a person and was patient with me as I communicated my needs. Mr. Humphrey is a sincerely amazing lawyer and a truly kind human being. I cannot say enough good things about my experience and his work ethic. I'm grateful that my case was handled by him and his law firm. I'm an anxious person and I can confidently say he managed to calm my nerves. His associate Danielle was also very nice and helpful. Thank you again!

Very professional, compassionate, and knows the law let me tell you.. If you are innocent and being railroaded he is your man..

First of all, I want to start out by stating that Kyle and his entire team are one of the kindest, most intelligent, and professional lawyers but also very caring. Kyle left a lasting positive impression after our first interaction via phone call. Kyle patiently listened to me, asked detailed questions, and reassured me that he has my back. When we first spoke, I was incredibly stressed out and clueless; but at the end of the conversation, I was suddenly calm and felt very reassured. I knew that my family was in good hands! Our case was difficult, to say the least, but Kyle is a shark!! A tenacious, peaceful, and caring shark! He is patient, determined, detail-oriented, and resourceful. I would recommend him to anyone who sincerely needs help! Thank you so much Kyle for your patience and motivation to help my family! If I could give 10 stars...I WOULD!

Had an amazing and successful experience with this law firm. Kyle, Vic and Angela were accessible and kept me in the loop during the whole court process. Trust and believe they will fight for you on your case. EXTREMELY HAPPY AND PLEASED WITH THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE I HAD WITH THEM, ALL THE WAY AROUND, FROM THE SERVICE TO THE RESULTS. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.

I would highly recommend this attorney because of all the hard work and late nights that was put into my case. Good outcome to where I can still provide and support my family.

Glad to see there are so many good comments. I hope they are really coming from the great jobs and not a result of deal. They are not treated like me: take the money and could not work like an attorney. I knew the other party conducts like a gangster. However, in my opinion. a real good attorney should work ethically under all the situations, including facing the pressure of power and money.

My experience with Mr. Beles and his law firm was nothing but positive. They were extremely professional and courteous. There was a time when I did not want to move forward with my case because of personal and family issues. Bob and Manisha repeatedly urged me to go forward because they were confident they could help me. After a time, due to their persistence I decided to go ahead and as a result my case was successful! Thank you everyone at Beles and Beles from the bottom of my heart for not giving up on me. I have contacted Mr. Beles from time to time after my case was settled and he has always been helpful. Thank you so much!

Manisha was absolutely amazing. I was a little worried that my hopes were too high, but Beles and Beles came through in a big way. Extremely Satisfied with their help.

I've had Robert and his daughter as my lawyers a few times. They both are good people and are very good at what they do. The only problem I have is when the case is over in their eyes you can't reach any of them if you need something. With my last case being dropped I need a clear copy of the property the police took,the carbon copy is so bad you can hardly read it. The officer told me only my lawyer can request a better copy. So I've been trying to reach Robert for close to a month now and all I can get is a he's not in the office,or he said he will call you back,which never happens. And that's the only thing I truly dislike about the firm.

I was in prison for 27 years on a murder charge. I stayed strong and hoped that one day I'd find a good attorney to get me out. Robert, Annie Beles and Joe Ryan delivered on that promise and now im a free man. This firm is the best. 5 stars all the way. Its all good.

I would highly recommend Lamano Law Office if you have received a DUI. All these ladies were very pleasant, compassionate, and very informative during my 1+ year long process. I never felt uncomfortable speaking with them like I have other attorneys! Thank you for assisting me in my matter!

I've seen first hand how this law firm works, and they are the best. Not just because they care, which they truly do, but because they are very passionate at what they do. They treat their clients with patience, respect and courtesy during their stressful situations and go the extra mile to do what they can for them.

I cannot say enough good things about this office. They were prompt, informational and extremely professional. I sought numerous opinions and they were the clear option. They handled the whole process from beginning to end and were very thorough in helping me understand each step. Hands down the best law firm I have ever worked with. I will never seek legal services from any other office! Worth every penny!

I hired another attorney initially who filled me with fear, dread, and a sense of hopelessness about my situation. I hired them out of that sense of fear they instilled, then I felt like I was ignored after paying their retainer. After that I contacted Givelle with Lamano Law and had the completely opposite experience—she made me feel listened to, cared about, and in safe, competent hands. I can’t recommend Givelle and Lamano Law enough—professional attorneys who also care deeply about making you feel hopeful and empowered about your case and future. ????

I would like to recommend Lamano Law office to anyone who is having some legal difficulties. They are so professional and responsive. When I called the very first time I was greeted and taken care of by Givelle. She was very informative, courteous and professional. My case was assigned to Manjula Martin who worked hard for the best outcome for me. My gratitude for you ladies and also to Paulina Maldonado who was always in contact with me keeping me informed on everything. Overall my experience with Lamano Law was nothing less than oustanding. Thank you!!
