Just because you have been arrested for a crime does not mean that Attorney Michael Scafiddi cannot help you avoid a conviction or jail time.

I must say I'm very impressed with Mr. Scafiddi's law office. I only called to ask a question Mr. Scafiddi had no hesitation on taking a few moments out of his busy schedule to answer my question and to also give some suggestions as well. The conversation went great and he was very professional and very much knowledgeable. Fast forward a couple of weeks when I made a follow-up call letting him know how thankful I was for him and his service he was very kind and gracious. I TRULY recommend Michael Scafiddi.

Everyone thoroughly communicated what was needed. Everyone we spoke to was friendly and ultimately they got my case dismissed. I was looking at a misdemeanor charge and the attorneys went above and beyond and for that I’m so thankful! I can focus on getting back to my family rather than stressing out about this case! Thank you guys so much! Highly recommend!

First time here and the experience was excellent. From the staff that I initially reached out to on the phone, to the attorney assigned to my case, I cannot thank you more. Your professionalism, respect and courtesy to your clients, passion for the job and timely updates on my case will always be appreciated. Thank you for a very favorable outcome. This is by far the best firm in San Bernardino county and the surrounding areas.

Roderick was excellent I highly recommend him for any of your legal issues ????????

After my case has gone past the statute of limitations they still won't get my charges dropped. They just don't understand how I've been victimized by the government and that I'm right and everyone else is wrong. I'll never trust anybody with law enforcement experience for an attorney again all they want is to get more money for the government and themselves but don't care about the people.

Newman & Allen was great help to my legal issues. The whole team works their best to help me out and is always there for me if I am worried or had any questions. They stuck by me the entire time and made everything a lot stressful then it was. Dustin Offinga was my lawyer here and he was by far best lawyer I’ve ever dealt. Very professional and worked with me the entire time to ensure the best possible outcome. I cannot thank Dustin and the team enough for all their hard work and effort. If I didn’t go though these guys I would be in a lot worse position then I am in now. If you’re looking for a lawyer I recommend Newman & Allen all the way.

In times of Uncertainties , you need a Law firm that is going to give you the best legal representation for your situation and problem. This law firm does just that. They respect a person with no judgment and really puts forth an effort to get the best legal defense for you. I really don't think the money is top priority for them because they are willing to work with you. All I can say is, this Law firm allowed me to get sleep at night, because I knew they were on the job. Thank you JC Allen for all your help.

Amazing attorneys and office staff!! Very knowledgeable in what I had needed. Went beyond my expectations from my last attorney. Thank you all for helping me. ????

JC and her Team are amazing!! I had 2 cases from different counties and they were still able to represent me even if it wasn’t from the county I live in. My family has used this firm from years ago and it’s still amazing. Very professional and helped me in more ways than what I thought. My fee was very reasonable and the office staff is amazing too... I don’t Leave reviews ever but in this case I will. U won’t regret having this firm represent anyone...????????

I cannot recommend this team of legal experts enough!!!! Please give them a call! They were incredible. Anna Torres was the sweetest most informative person I have spoken to regarding my case. She went above and beyond to steer me in the right direction with such knowledgeable and educated responses. They actually care about their clients, and are truly there to help. They didn’t want my money for what ended up being half an hour long conversation on the phone my first call. I called several cookie-cutter lawyers who don’t care about your problem and just want your money who do not care about giving you their time...it wasn’t until I was referred to Newman and Allen LLP by a friend. My gosh I can’t recommend this legal team enough. Thank you for making me feel like I mattered. Thank you for taking the time. I recommend this office if you’re looking and considering your options, you will not be sorry giving them a call.

I would give them all the stars in the sky if I could. Madrid Law Firm was exceptionally great and professional. My husband's boss referred us to Ed and his team. Since day one they have been on top of things and have kept me informed on my case. Ed and Cindy came all the way to my home in Indio to help us understand the process and answered any questions we had. I had never had the need to hire an attorney and I'm thankful that I was referred to Madrid Law Firm. After 4 years of hard work they have put into my case, we have finally close my case and got what we wanted. Ed and his team fought for my daughter's and I settlement.

I had a very complicated legal matter and retained the Madrid Law Firm.

Ed has tons of knowledge in the horse industry, making it so much easier when he handled those types of cases. I will always use them for any legal issues.

Very respectful attorney and works with you she won my dmv hearing and got my license back which save me from 1 year suspension and got my dui reduced in court. Very good good attorney.

I hired Jeff Bullard to handle several cases that I had open. He went above and beyond my expectations and got them dismissed! My last attorney told me not to make my problems his problems but Jeff Bullard took my problems and made them his problems. I can't thank him enough for all the hard work and attention to detail he had on my cases. If you are looking for someone who truly cares and is willing to go the extra mile, he is the attorney for you!

I really can't say enough about what this team did for me. After my first sit down with Jeff I knew I didn't want anyone else representing me. This man not only took amazing care of my case but was also just an amazing person overall, always providing support and positivity. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me get my life back to normal.

I cannot say enough about how happy I am to have found Bullard & Powell to help me with my case. I felt I was in good hands through the entire process. If I ever hand any questions, attorney Sarah Powell and her staff went out of their way to make time for me. The whole Bullard & Powell team exceeded my expectations.

Very professional, loyal, reliable. Hands down very good attorney he got all 9 of my charges expunched thanks to him and his very great work me and my husband we're able to get our own place and a very good job thank you I appreciate everything you have done for us.

My situation was NOT the norm for me. It was Memorial Day Weekend at 2am on a Sunday morning when my incident took place. My coverage service was contacted roughly 5am when I finally was able to make my phone call. As they called attorneys, Mr. Mulligan was the 3rd one and the only one that answered on Memorial Day weekend. He immediately contacted my wife and assured her that he was on top of the situation and was watching for any news about me in the system. I did not live close and we met on Memorial Day at his office. He took time out of the holiday to meet with me and walk me through scenarios for my case that could take place. Joshua Mulligan kept me informed every step of the way. We were ready for the prelim and during the prelim Mr. Mulligan was on his A GAME. We were expected to go to full blown trial but we were prepared. We were able to get the case dropped, to both our surprise. Words can’t express how satisfied and thankful I am with the service and transparency of information for my case. As well as how professionally my case was handled.

    My situation was NOT the norm for me. It was Memorial Day Weekend at 2am on a Sunday morning when my incident took place. My coverage service was contacted roughly 5am when I finally was able to make my phone call. As they called attorneys, Mr. Mulligan was the 3rd one and the only one that answered on Memorial Day weekend. He immediately contacted my wife and assured her that he was on top of the situation and was watching for any news about me in the system. I did not live close and we met on Memorial Day at his office. He took time out of the holiday to meet with me and walk me through scenarios for my case that could take place. Joshua Mulligan kept me informed every step of the way. We were ready for the prelim and during the prelim Mr. Mulligan was on his A GAME. We were expected to go to full blown trial but we were prepared. We were able to get the case dropped, to both our surprise. Words can’t express how satisfied and thankful I am with the service and transparency of information for my case. As well as how professionally my case was handled.

I am honored and as much grateful to say I was represented professionally by such a competent and polished lawyer firm. Bartell, Hensel & Gressley are nonetheless, absolutely proficient, in their business and expertise of their skills in business and legal matters. Being represented and backed up in court by Mike Donaldson was alleviating, I say this because going through the process of the courts, court dates, fees we must pay as citizens to have the privilege of fighting our cases, my family and I were alleviated by the control we felt our legal team had when going up against the Superior Court of California County of Riverside. They understood fully the pressure we felt as a family to have my case be dwindled down to as little of punishment as possible for the events that transpired. They grasp the magnitude of situations their clients are in and did everything possible to reassure us that they would get us out of the hole we felt I was in. To be represented by Bartell, Hensel & Gressley during my trial, I was confident with the power they displayed while fighting for my freedom. I was charged with aggravated assault which is a felony, with their knowledge and teamwork we were dismissed with a misdemeanor and no probation time. This was a huge win for both myself and the lawyer firm because it is universally known how difficult is it for one to land jobs following a felony on their permanent record. They ensured I would win with the evidence they acquired during the whole process. I have to recommend anyone fighting a case to be represented by this team of great, knowledgeable group of professionals today, tomorrow and any time in the future. Incredible display of ability to earn their clients freedom. I go without saying that I am happy to put this behind me and go forward with my life learning a lesson I shall not forget along with the team that fought for me along the way.

I was arrested for crashing and then blowing a .08. I was devastated from being arrested for the first time and was facing DUI charges. I called 4 or 5 top-rated DUI attorneys in Temecula. I talked to each one for 30 minutes to one hour on the phone. Many of the responses were very uninterested and grim or OVERLY "promising" to talk to. And then I spoke to Mike Donaldson, and everything felt right. I decided to pay the $4,500 and meet with him and his partner in person at their location in Riverside, CA. Mike Donaldson take appropriate action to have my DUI dismissed. One thing that stood out to me is his attention to detail and patience to find a "reasonable" prosecutor. Also, they didn't charge me for the DMV appeal. I feel like Mike saved my life. He went over everything and made me feel less like a terrible person. Mike is forever in my positive memories. And most importantly, My DUI charge went down to a reckless driving charge with a quick 32 hr online class and a small court fee of like $2,500. If you have any form of DUI, you have to choose Mike Donaldson.

I highly recommend Bartell, Hensel & Gressley... particularly Mike Donaldson , as Mike was my main point of contact. I had a unique case because I reside outside the state of CA, which required putting more trust in the hands of this firm / Mr. Donaldson. Here we are almost two years later (due to COVID) and I can confidently say that due to the professional, responsive nature of Mike and the team my case has been resolved with a favorable outcome. Just as importantly, throughout the entire process, I felt that Mike Donaldson and the team had my best intentions in mind. I was treated as an individual ... not a case #! Never easy having to contact a lawyer, would be a missed opportunity not reaching out to this team!

Mike Donaldson and Don Bartell did a great job working my case from the very beginning. They gave me great advice and made sure I took every necessary step to protect myself through this difficult process. They handled all phone calls, hearings and paperwork for me. They were able to successfully get my charges reduced to a wet reckless and won my DMV hearing.

Nobody ever feels like they need an attorney until they need an attorney, lol. Our son was in a situation where he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. An altercation ensued and he was arrested for assault and battery, and bodily injury was added because the other person fell and hit their head on the back of a car bumper in the parking lot. The cops not knowing the whole story, just arrested our son and booked him with some serious charges. We turned to Bartell, Hensel & Gressley for help and counsel. Mike Donaldson was on it right away, getting all the info, all the details, and helping our son through the process all the way. Due to COVID-19, it was a little frustrating trying to get police reports, talking to witnesses, backed up court dates, etc., but Mike was always pushing through. Long story short, Mike was able to get pretty much all charges dropped down to only one that is a misdemeanor. We are really thankful that we went with this team, they work hard and ease the pain of having to deal with the judicial system.

Extremely helpful and Professional, Percise and Straightforward. Best experience I've had with any Attorney/Law Office. A class act

We are extremely impressed with Attorney Barba. He expeditiously resolved an issue that we could not on our own resolve. Best retainer we have paid. I highly recommend Mr. Barba he is very responsive and professional.

Attorney Manuel J. Barba is extreamly versed in the DUI laws and the courts here in Riverside county. I can speak from personal expirience that he shows up to his clients court dates and represents his clients in a proffesional yet vigourous manner. If your freedom is valuable to you as mine is to me then your fee should not be the deciding factor in the decision to seek the best representation. He also let me pay in 3 installments which helped. I will not disclose my case but just know; I felt as if I would be in a far worst situation had I not been represented by Mr. Barba.

Manuel J. Barba and his team are incredible! As soon as I requested information to help my DUI case, Manuel instructed me on the first steps I needed to take in order to keep the DMV and the court satisfied. Manuel was always easy to reach and was very fast to respond to any of my concerns. He guided me step by step and what was a scary situation became a manageable situation with the help of this Law Office. I could not be more grateful and I recommend them 100%

Manuel Barba defended me and was Amazing ! DA wanted to give me a Third DUI and alot of jail time. (200+ days) He got my charges reduced and house arrest for 40 days half time served (20 days) ! Thank you Manny !

Excellent quality customer service from this office, in precise from my good friend Alex Barraza. Alex put me at ease about my situation and took care of my misdemeanor and got my case dismissed. Always had good communication regardless of the work load he had, always kept it professional, and made me feel comfortable that he would take care of me. I highly recommend his service if applicable to your situation.

Alejandro handled my criminal case. I was looking at a lot of time and he fought for me for over a year and a half , And got me the best possible outcome. He was always honest and upfront about everything. Even after my criminal case was over he would still check for me just to see how I was doing. ( still does ) he was an absolute godsend and always encouraged me do not give up and keep going. He also help me with my family law case . Couldn’t ask for a better lawyer

Choosing Alex to defend me on my criminal case with immigration consequences was the decision. Besides his great understanding of the laws his personality and dedication to my case had me feeling secure and confident that I had put trust on the right man for the job. God bless Alex he resolved my situation with more than satisfactory results

From beginning of my case to its resolution Alejandro did outstanding job defending me. He worked hard to discover evidence of my innocence and was able to get case dismissed. If your looking for a honest, dedicated , and knowledgeable attorney look no further. Communicated well and treated me as human rather than a case .

Alex is simply the BEST. He is knowledgeable, giving, supportive, and informative. He knows the laws and how to apply them to each case, plus he actually cares immensely about his clients. In truth, they are not just clients to him, they are people that need help and he does everything he can to see that they get the help that is needed. My son was a very special case (mental health) and Alex was there with us every step of the way. Not once did I feel lost or alone, he kept us informed of every step and was always available to us. His attention to detail, his professionalism, and his ability to clearly explain the laws are all impeccable. Had he not been our attorney, the end result of my son’s case would have turned out so much differently. My respect for him is immense and I would recommend for every case that is in his scope of excellence. In addition to being an amazing attorney, he is a wonderful person as well. All you have to do is have one conversation with him and you will know he is the absolute best there is.
