I would highly recommend Mr. Ramos. He is very assertive, and also very thorough. He really doesn’t miss a beat!! Which is what you want, if you’re going up against child protective services. I had a very complicated case, I hired George and the matter was resolved within a couple months. Thank you George, and thank you to your staff. Our family will always remember you, and keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

George did a phenomenal job setting realistic expectations and taking time to walk me through each step of the legal process. Other attorney's I had spoken with made me feel like I was buying services from a used car salesman... Thanks to George, my case was dismissed. The legal system is not always fair and can be a very scary place. Don't wait, lawyer up, and contact George right away for your best possible chance at success.

I had a wonderful experience with Mr Ramos. His work got my case rejected which is everything that I was hoping for. He is a direct no nonsense kind of guy. Very professional and made me trust him immediately. Also his paralegal Denise is very professional and responsive. Overall, Mr Ramos made me feel taken care of during a difficult time in my life and I got a positive outcome. Highly recommend.

Excellent service!! Highly recommend

I chose not to retain Mr. Ramos after our brief phone consultation. Although he was informative regarding certain details pertaining to my recent arrest, he told me some things that contradicted what two other ex-district attorneys turned criminal defense lawyers had previously told me on my one on one consultation with them. I’m the type of person that likes to get a feel for a person with more than just a five minute phone call, and I told Mr. Ramos that I’m aware that COVID probably prevents doing a lot of in person meetings, but I asked him if he’d be willing to Skype or FaceTime with me so that I could get a better feel for him so that I can make the best decision in retaining an attorney for my very serious criminal case. He rather rudely told me that he doesn’t Skype unless he’s been retained. From that point on, he seemed annoyed. He’s not a cheap lawyer and he wants all money up front (which is his right) but I feel I have a right to see more than a picture and a phone call before paying over 6k to retain someone. Just rubbed me the wrong way...

    Joe was incredibly helpful and professional. He went out of his way to do me a solid which I will forever appreciate. I would recommend this place to anyone needing assistance.

    I was looking everywhere to try and find the right lawyer to best help me in the defense of a restraining order situation, and that's when I came across Peter Blair. I called him and he immediately gave me a free consultation without me asking, he was very kind and welcoming, and made me feel like I was in good hands. He and his assistant handled all the paperwork timely and with ease. Compared to all other law offices I called prior to him, he had the best plan of action for my circumstances. After our phone call I knew I did not need to call anyone else. He, along with his associate Joe, successfully defended me and were able to get the restraining order case dismissed. Having Peter and his team at my defense took away my stress and worry, and now I can live without that on my shoulders. If you are looking for a great lawyer with a great team, look no further.

    Above & beyond the rest. A lawyer, that is actually modest‽ First impressions can be gold, & Peter Blair, refines the experiance of something tramatic with the essential facts to restructure a perspective in complete disclosure to you, even if it is not to his own benifit. This is impressive, rare & deserves respect.

    I hired Mr Blair upon the recommendation of my corporate attorney for a matter involving a family member. I am very pleased with the final outcome and consider Mr Blair and his whole firm as having performed very well. I would certainly recommend his firm to anyone experiencing legal issues similar to mine. Great job. ????

    Helped me out when need it the most. Thanks again!

    Being a former public servant in the police and fire sector, being on the wrong side of the law was foreign to me. When the time came that I needed the services of a top lawyer I was referred to Tom Matthews by a close family member. When I heard what Tom was able to accomplish in past cases and after doing research through various outlets and resources of mine, it was a no brainer to go with Tom. Tom was attentive, honest, open, and forthcoming about what to expect with my situation. He absolutely used his reputation, relationships and knowledge to ensure a positive outcome and I couldn’t be any more pleased. Tom is absolutely a top lawyer in San Diego.

    Tom and his team are great! The results they got for me were much better than I anticipated. their professional and friendly approach is top notch. Thanks again Tom and team ????????????????

    I can not thank Mr. Matthews enough for keeping me out of jail. Tom was an amazing criminal defense attorney. I was facing multiple years in prison and was very nervous and more afraid than i had ever been in my life. Tom calmed me down and made me feel comfortable about the whole legal process. He treated me as if i was a family member or a good friend of his. Mr. Matthews legal expertise saved me from doing a lot of hard time. My case was a very complex case and ranged across a few states. Tom handled the case very professionally and I was very pleased with the outcome. I would recommend Tom to anyone who needs a criminal defense lawyer that cares about the people he represents. Thank you again for giving me a second chance at life Mr. Matthews!

    "I am so relieved to have Tom taking care of the business aspect of things so that I can concentrate on my recovery process." With Tom representing me, I had a peace of mind through the entire process and I received a very successful outcome! Honestly, i couldn't imagine going through that process without him representing me.

    Great lawyers. My cousin used their criminal defense attorney for a dui case and won.

    The Law Office of David P. Shapiro is an outstanding firm of professionals. During this time of high stress for my family, David and his staff were compassionate and reassuring. They are great listeners and very responsive. I am very grateful for the level of service and very pleased with the outcome of our case. David & Team, Thank You!

    We hired Stefano Molea to represent our adult son who was charged with a DUI accident with the other parties sustaining great bodily injury. At the start, Stefano came up with a detailed plan on how to best represent our son and navigate through the legal challenges. Stefano's legal knowledge, attention to detail, and his extraordinary communication skills, makes him a true expert in the legal field. He is compassionate and helped our son take the right steps towards his sobriety. We got the best possible outcome for our son and we owe it all to Stefano.

    Helping good people get their lives back is not just a catch phrase. They mean what they say and are serious about taking care of the client. Ally Keegan and the team at Law Office of David Shapiro are AMAZING! My charges for a 25 plus year old case were dismissed, it was not easy but I truly believe that if I had went with any other Law Firm that the outcome would have been very different. Thank you Ally for helping me get my life back!

    My life was out of control and I made some bad decisions which got me into trouble with the law and I ended up in jail. I went into treatment and got clean when I got out of jail and David took care of all the legal problems I had. Without David I would have been left with multiple felonies on my record. Thanks to him I now have none and was able to regain control of my life.

    I didn’t sign up with them, but I did speak with Alyssa on a criminal case, and she was very helpful! I spoke with the front desk and Alyssa called in 10 minutes to discuss the matter. I did t need a lawyer after all, however she did explain alt for my issue. I will keep their number in case (I hope not) for future concerns.

    Kept me updated the whole time. Very personable. Made the experience comfortable and easy.

    I can't thank Mr. Griffin and his team enough for their help. My 21st birthday went one of the best days to the worst day in my life as I blacked out from alcohol consumption and woke up in handcuffs. Ending my military career and changing my life forever. Mr. Griffin and his team kept me out of prison and because of them I lead a happy and very successful life. If I had to describe This law office in three words they would be; kind, professional, and determined.

    Patrick is an exceptional attorney. He helped navigate me through my case and we got the result we wanted (cannot ask for much more than that!) The world of finding a lawyer can be scary and confusing. Take the time to consult with a few different people before making a decision. I am incredibly grateful I took a consultation visit with Patrick and hired him for my case. His professionalism and preparedness stood out and there was no doubt I made the right decision. To anyone reading this post that needs help I highly recommend giving Patrick a call.

    I was fortunate enough to have the Griffin Law Office recommended to me from a family member. I had received my second DUI and was going through a difficult time as you can imagine and the Griffin Law Office put me at ease and was there for me through the entire process. They still remain in contact with me after everything. I highly recommend them. 5 star service.

    When I found myself consumed by a huge misunderstanding I went to Patrick Griffin for answers; and he delivered in every possible way. Patrick's professionalism, punctuality and overall presence gave me a sense of comfort and security throughout the entire judicial process. Thanks to Patrick and his paralegal Samantha, I am able to once again move forward in a positive direction. With Patrick, you're on the inside track.

    Matt Terry is a phenomenal DUI attorney, hands down. Searching for a lawyer can seem like quite the task, especially in a time of overwhelming chaos. I was lucky enough to have received a personal referral from a reputable source who has witnessed Matt's successful results. From the minute I walked out of our first consultation I felt like I could trust him. I valued the fact that he was personable, I didn't feel like I was "just another client." I knew he was genuine because after I hired him he continued to "walk his talk." His passion for the law is captivating and it sure shined in the court room. He handled my case throughout the entire event and there was never a doubt in my mind that he wouldn't defend me to the very best of his ability. Being in this position for the first time was terrifying but Matt made sure that my story got told. I went in looking for results, and that's exactly what I got.

    Matthew Terry worked out the best possible solution for me in my situation. he knew details I couldn't have imagined, that could have made or broke my case. Thanks Matt and Good Luck.

    Update: In response to the reply left on my review. I wrote "When I was convicted he left me to question the jury for an hour (to see why they convicted me) with no consideration to me or my emotional state." I was implying that he left me alone so he could question the jury. The fact that the "attorney" claims that I am another attorney trying to make him look bad is laughable and deeply unprofessional. *********** I'll spare you the details of my personal emotions and just give you the facts. I paid $4,500 for Mr. Terry's services after consulting one other attorney. He seemed genuinely on my side and seemed willing to fight for me. This changed after he charged my card. He promised me to speak to me about my case and prepare what he described as a "trial binder". He was aloof and rarely returned phone calls. Occasionally I received a reply via e-mail. I trusted him being as I had never been in trouble before and had no idea what to expect. There was also a witness to my case that contradicted everything in the police report he promised to subpoena. I was even in the room when he called the man and asked if he would be willing to testify. He did not subpoena that witness. He did not speak to me at all before my trial. He did not prepare a trial binder for me. He retained the help of an "expert witness" who was completely unprepared and had no idea the details of my case. An expert witness I paid for and trusted him to recommend. When I was convicted he left me to question the jury for an hour (to see why the convicted me) with no consideration to me or my emotional state. Before I signed a contract, after I signed the contract and after my conviction he verbally told me he would help me end my probation early (providing I paid for my fine by then and remained out of trouble). I called him twice and left messages with his paralegal or receptionist. He didn't return either call. I cannot recommend this man and I highly advise you against retaining his services. He's unreliable and the very definition of what gives lawyers a bad name.

    Unbelievable attorney. I can only hope he moves to Texas one day to help with Constitutional Law.

    Vik Monder really cared about my case and did everything he could to get the results he did. Thank you Vik.

    Amazing and down to earth! Finally an attorney who doesn't BS and delivers real results. From the very first day we spoke, he explained everything and told me what to expect. About an hour after our conversation, all the relevant court documents had been filed and a court date had been set for my matter. This attorney is on his way to becoming a celebrity lawyer!

    He was able to get my case dismissed through a diversion program that I never even heard of and my record stayed clean.

    Monder Law Group is a great firm. I called them on a Saturday and they agreed to meet with me the same day. It was definitely important to me that they understood the specifics of my case before I hired them. They gave me a strategy to follow and after the meeting I felt confident in their skills and hired them for a reasonable amount of money and everything worked out well.

    If your life's on the line there is only one person in the world to contact and that is Vik Monder. He is definitely one of the best lawyers I have ever had. I think you are in the best position to hire him if you are looking at serious jail time. He will make sure to mitigate your case so you get the best possible result in your case. I am speaking from personal experience.

    n Your corner. I recommend Mary Frances very highly. Definitely give her a call if you need a top notched, fierce and achievement oriented attorney, you won't be disappointed! Mary Frances is one of the premier attorneys here in southern California. She works tirelessly for her clients, assuring them the best possible outcome of their legal cases. Her abilities and knowledge in Her field is outstanding. Whether it is a criminal defense, DUI or Civil Liberties case, you couldn't ask for a better person to have in Your corner. I recommend Mary Frances very highly. Definitely give her a call if you need a top notched, fierce and achievement oriented attorney, you won't be disappointed!

    Figuring out how to find the right attorney and if they are really good is always a hard task. If you have been lucky enough to find Mary you need not look any further! Mary is the best period! She is highly qualified, cares tremendously and fights to win. She doesn't take on just any case or client. I have worked with more attorneys than most will in several lifetimes combined and can honestly say I truly believe in Mary. She is extremely smart, very respected in the legal community and always knows what to do. If you want the best you have found it! Sincerely, Chad Conley

    BEST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DEFENSE LAWYER IN SAN DIEGO!!!! I came referred to Mary Francis from another family law lawyer who helped me in my extremely acrimonious divorce case. My ex husband was abusive throughout the relationship. But when it looked like I was going to win sole physical custody, and he was going to have to pay support, I saw a side of him I never could have imagined. He attacked me, then called the police after slamming his own face into the door three times, then accusing me. I was taken away in handcuffs, placed in jail, and when I bailed out, I had to deal with CPS. I felt completely alone and abandoned. Then came Mary to the rescue. Mary worked the case from top to bottom, reviewing all the family court pleadings, having her investigator walk the neighborhood to get stories of my husband's abuse from everyone he could. At the end of the day the case was dismissed. It ultimately took 6 months to get it dismissed, and it cost a fair price for my freedom (especially the investigators, Mary Francis not so much). But it was worth every penny. I am now safe and secure with my children. Thanks to Mary Francis. She is the best domestic violence defense lawyer in town, I was told, and my referral was right on!

    As a veteran criminal defense attorney, I consider myself fortunate to have met Mary Francis Prevost. She is not only a respected colleague who has achieved a state wide reputation for aggressively and effectively defending her clients, but she has become a valuable resource for me as well. There aren't many criminal defense attorneys I can take advice from, but she is so knowledgeable and experienced, that consulting with her professionally as a colleague on extremely complex legal issues always helped me identify or clarify my strategy in a case. The resolution she achieves for her own clients is truly remarkable. She protects them from abuses of the system, safeguards their civil rights, and produces the excellent results she has become known for. I couldn't recommend her more strongly.

    I had a run in with Sheriff deputies who threw me to the ground and then falsely arrested me, and accused me of being drunk. I'd had one, single beer, with three witnesses. it didn't matter to them. Good for them that they didn't have cameras. So they could say whatever they wanted and there wasn't much I could do about it. But then I was looking for a good San Diego criminal defense attorney, and I was referred to Mary Frances, and she did a lot about it. She was able to get into their personnel files, find the two who slammed me to the ground had other complaints. The prosecutors didn't want to do anything to the deputies except protect them. I am a God loving man, and I expect the law and government to be honest. They were not. None of them were. Mary Frances stuck it out and pushed to the date of trial. She had witness lined up against the cops, my witnesses lined up, and only then and after many months of working hard was Mary able to get the case dismissed. It's a sad day in San Diego when a God fearing, tax paying citizen is treated like a criminal not only by cops, but by the prosecutors. I will never look on law enforcement with the same respect I once held. Thank God for Mary Frances and her perseverance.
