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.

Mr. Garrison is an amazing attorney! He was very professional, answered all of our questions, and is amazing at representing his clients. We felt well prepared before each court date. When he walks into the courtroom, you can tell that he is in his element and I would be afraid to be involved in a court case against whoever he represents. He commands the attention of the courtroom! and that is a great quality to have! Our case was small compared to the large cases that he usually represents, but he was willing to take on our case and we are so very grateful to him! We are happy with the outcome of the case and would not hesitate to retain him again as our attorney should we require his services! We would also be happy to recommend him to our friends and business colleagues in the future! Thank you so much!

Greg is an exceptional lawyer to have on your side if you are ever in the highly unfortunate situation to need him. Due to a tragic series of events, we needed the services of Greg Garrison and we were so lucky to have had his representation. From explaining the steps we were going through, to navigating the politics around our case, to eventually getting us through the worst and to a manageable place on the other side - Greg's experience and levels of service are unparalleled. Do not hesitate to reach out to him. Any reviews on this site that make it seem like he doesn't do the best by his clients are suspect, in my opinion.

Mr. Garrison truly saved my career. I was charged with four felonies involving firearms and Mr. Garrison convinced the Judge to dismiss three of the four felonies. I was then able to plead out to just one misdemeanor. Mr. Garrison is a great attorney and the best criminal defense attorney I could have had on my case.

I have observed Mr. Garrison to be the type of person you can trust to do the correct thing with his reliability, integrity, and fortitude. He is a committed attorney who truly demonstrates dedication to his client and a passion for his job. Having always upheld the highest ethical standards and exhibiting devotion to his career, Gregory Garrison is well recognized in the San Diego community.

I can not express how relieved I am after the full dismissal of my case. When I was arrested for felony domestic violence, I thought my military career was over. Fortunately, I retained Mr. Garrison early on and, to my and my family’s amazement, Mr. Garrison was able to convince the District Attorney’s Office to not even file the case. No criminal charges were filed. Highly recommend Mr. Garrison to anyone else in need!

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.

I hired Dan Greene to help a family member with some legal issues. Dan was great. He really knows how to navigate the court system. We had a late request on Friday afternoon. Government rarely gets things done on Friday afternoons. Dan moved mountains to get our time sensitive issue resolved as quickly as possible on Friday afternoon after 4:00pm. Others that I have shared the story with say that is unheard of. Dan was also extremely empathetic and compassionate with the sensitive nature of our case. We were charged a fair price and Dan Greene delivered more than we expected. I would hire Dan Greene again without hesitation and would recommend him to others.

When my son got put in jail for drugs,Being out of townI searched the Internet in San Diego to find the best attorneys in criminal defense and going on the reviews thanks to the others who reviewed this firm I signed up with Attorney Armstrong’s firm. I was assigned attorney vanessa Albert, I was so lucky to get her she worked hard to get my son out of jail and went out of her way to help me with getting him rehab and pointing me in the right direction to resolve his charges she was honest hard-working and a delight to work with.. she was very dedicated and knowledgeable and made sure that she answered all my questions and concerns. Attorney vanessa albert is an excellent lawyer very easy to work with and I highly recommend her.Her charges are also very reasonable, for the amount of work she put in.

Back in 2019, I was in a desperate situation where I needed to find a good criminal defense firm to handle some outstanding legal issues. I felt so relieved to find Mr. Armstrong’s firm. From the start, David & Elizabeth were very attentive to all of my questions and concerns and even took the time to walk me through all of the procedures that I might expect given my situation. I felt very comfortable working with their entire staff. This firm truly cares about their clients best interest and it shows in their work ethics. I am so glad to have found them!

Smart and forceful in court. I'm very impressed.

I came to the Kerry Armstrong after a domestic dispute involving the police. I called his office as soon as I was released from jail. They were very responsive to all my questions. I was so scared. They gave me a lot of relief because they went over everything to expect very clearly. I ended up retaining them to handle my case and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. They are the best there is. Their entire team is very attentive and always responsive with their communication. This is a team you can trust!

Brian and his Staff are very professional and knowledgeable in everyway, they will not disappoint. Great experience over all.

I was referred to Brian Watkins from a trusted friend. I’m so glad I decided to have him represent me in my personal injury case. He made the complicated process painless and made sure he gathered all the necessary information to get me the best settlement possible. He fought for every single penny I deserved and exceeded my expectations. Whenever I get asked for a referral for a good attorney , I don’t hesitate to recommend Brian Watkins & Associates.

I'm a San Diego criminal defense attorney. This review is not requested and is done entirely on my own initiative. I have seen Brian practice criminal defense law in the San Diego County Superior Court on many occasions over the years. Brian has a quiet, dignified and respectful demeanor that commands the respect of his colleagues, the court, the prosecution and his clients. I have seen Brian in readiness conferences before preliminary hearings and trial. Brian fights hard for his clients and will not hesitate to set a case for trial if that's in his client's best interests. Brian's only consideration is how to best serve the interests of his clients. That's why I'm giving him the highest google rating.

Brian listens well & knows his stuff!!! He has gotten me and a few of my associates off on felony charges. A "must hire" if you value your freedom.

I was involved in an automobile accident a few years ago. I hired Brian Watkins to represent me and he did a fantastic job. He was able to get a settlement 5x the amount of what the insurance company initially offered. Recently, my family hired Brian to represent my brother in some serious criminal charges. This was a very difficult time for my family. Brian was so professional and compassionate throughout the process. Best of all, he was able to get all the charges against my brother dismissed. I hope I never need legal services again, but if I do, I will only use Brian. He is the absolute best!

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.

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.

    A life saver. Incredibly smart. Incredibly caring. Isaac bailed us out of a bigtime pickle. Thank you!

    Mr. Blumberg is without question an amazing attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable in criminal defense matters and provides an impeccable level of insight and service. As such, I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a bright legal mind someone, with the ability to rectify and resolve any case no matter the level of complexity.

    I can't thank Isaac Blumberg and Darleen R. Newcomb(Legal Assistant) enough. Isaac Blumberg has represented one of my family members in the past and has represented me twice now and has not disappointed. I was convicted of a DUI in 2018. In 2018 I drove while having a suspended license (suspended license due to DUI) Isaac represented me and I received a Misdemeanor, remained on informal probation, and received a fine. On November 23, 2019 I was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury, prior DUI within 10 years of VC23152 conviction. I was incarcerated November 23, 2019 at Las Colinas Detention and ReentryFacility my bail was at $100,000 I didn't have the money to post bail so I remained incarcerated in hopes that my bail would be lowered or I'd be released on my own recognizance at my first court appearance. That did not end up being the case my bail remained at $100,000 and I was not able to be released on my own recognizance however, Isaac Blumberg filled out some paper work to see if I could be approved to get out of Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility on County Parole and Alternative Custody (CPAC) before I was even sentenced. I was approved and was released on December 17, 2020 on CPAC the paperwork took some time to go through due to Thanksgiving otherwise after being approved I would have been out sooner. The ladies I was incarcerated with at Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility were shocked to see me be released especially on CPAC before I was even sentenced. I went from being incarcerated to being on CPAC to being on SCRAM everything slowly but surely got better. I did what the judge and Isaac Blumberg had advise me to do since my first court date. I stayed out of trouble, I stayed sober, I did an outpatient program, and etc. before being sentenced. I could not have chosen a better attorney to represent me. I could have been sentenced to 2 years in prison with a Felony or a Felony with 2 years of formal probation. The outcome to this case was that the Felony was brought down to a Misdemeanor today October 8, 2020. Due to COVID-19 cases were pushed back which is why it took this long for me to be sentenced. Isaac Blumberg is VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE! I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a criminal defense attorney to represent them.

    Isaac was honest, kind and empathetic towards my case. He called back immediately and provided sound advice. He is very experienced and turned out to be extremely helpful .. I am glad I called him. Isaac's fees were a bit higher but what he offered was reflective of the amount of work he put into my case. I highly recommend him.

    Mr Blumberg is an honest attorney and a great fighter who does everything he can to help his clients.

    Mr Southcott was very personable when I spoke to him both in person and over the phone. He provided us with very great and helpful advice. He was very generous with his time in both his phone and in person consultation. The first time I contacted him was with a voice mail and then via the web site and both times he got back to me right away. We communicated via email and he responds any time, even off hours and on the weekends. His office is located in Old town and is easy to find.

    Brilliant and compassionate! When I required to attain legal consult for my son, I couldn't have anyone better than Mr Sourhcott. He treated my son and our family like one of his own. Walked us through every step of the way, explaining every step of the way, advising us, reassuring us, it gave us such hope for a positive outcome! We could not be happier with the outcome of our case! Our sincerest gratitude for all you did for us.

    There are so many good qualities of having Ed Southcott in your corner. He knows many people in the court houses and definately does his due diligence as an attorney. I was extremely happy with Ed's proffesionalism. He answered the phone when i called, responded to emails promptly and helped every concern I had with my court case. I definately like the fact he did not sugar coat what is going to happen. He told me best and worst case scenarios, what he is hoping for, and the likeliness that it will happen. I felt I was in great hands. If I ever need an attorney again I wont think twice, I'll call Ed Southcott!

    Edward was friendly and super knowlegable. He provided great insight and perspective for us.

    Edward really cares about every client. He works hard to make sure you’ll feel comfortable and confident.

    Great attorney, knowledgeable and a true human being. May god give him and his family with the best that life has to offer. Many attorneys do not care for their clients. He will be a judge if he chooses one day. He helped me through hell that was created by a man who wanted us to suffer. He won in Two deferent lawsuit for me. May god and his new clients care for him as he cared for me and my family. I highly recommend him If you are dealing with difficult situation.

    My husband and I were referred to Nick from another lawyer and we could not have been any happier. We needed help with our case regarding a restraining order and to ensure our children were protected. Nick was upfront and honest about fees, what we could expect and what he would expect of us. He returned all phone calls and emails in A very timely manner and even when we had to call him On the weekend/Holiday he was very helpfully and didn't sounds upset we had to bother him. He answered all of our questions, went to every court date and made sure we understood what was taking place , when he meet with our children he spoke to them on their level and made sure they understood also. We did get a win and he made our family very happy and our children can't wait to be kids again. If we are ever in a spot again where we need a lawyer we will be calling Nick first to see if it is an area he works with.

    They said that they could not help me with my situation in getting my properties rewarded me. Though wells left to me though families members that passed away.

    I found Nick Moore online when looking for an asset forfeiture attorney in San Diego. I wrote bail in San Diego for five years so had much exposure to the local attorneys. Nick Moore is a welcome change of professionalism. I was able to get a consultation the same day I contacted him! A real honest stand up kind of guy. I was impressed and relieved to know I had someone like him as an ace up my sleeve.

    My deepest appreciation to Mr. Nicholas Moore, who assisted me with my case. He was very professional from the beginning, and I trusted his legal advice. I was fully confident that Mr. Moore could win my case, and he did. A million thanks to a great lawyer.

    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.
