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 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.

    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.

    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!

      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.

    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!

    One thing that no-one tells you is that car accident insurance claims drag on for months, sometimes they can take more than a year to resolve! A friend of mine was in a car accident recently so I knew how long it would take and decided to hunt for a lawyer who I would be happy to deal with for that long. Lucky I did because my case took eight months from my first consultation! After meeting Brad Nakase and his team, I knew they were the right legal team for me. Brad Nakase is a thoughtful and witty man, he treated me with the utmost respect and compassion at all times, and I felt like I was meeting a friend rather than a lawyer. My calls and emails were answered quickly throughout the whole process, something that should be a given, but usually isn’t! The insurance company dragged their heels and used some really dirty tactics in my case, but I was not nervous for a single second. I knew that Brad Nakase would get the very best results he could. In the end he had to take them to court. Even though it was clear he did everything he could to come to a quick and satisfactory solution, Brad Nakase was clearly unafraid to take the insurance company to court. It is easy to see why, he is a very skilled litigator, I’m so glad he was on my team rather than against me!

    Brad Nakase is a true community man, talking to him is just like chatting to your neighbor. He is funny, super intelligent, and a force of nature in court. He truly listens to you, which is something most attorneys cannot do. At times I feel like he understood my injuries better than I did! Unfortunately after my car accident, we had to take the insurance company to court, they were stubborn in denying my claim, but Brad Nakase was more stubborn! The results of my case were better than I ever could hope for. Brad Nakase is the only lawyer I have ever felt like I could trust implicitly. He really speaks to you on your level instead of being condescending or drowning things in legal jargon. I had spoken to another employment lawyer before him but within 5 mins of my consultation with Brad Nakase I knew that he was the right man for the job. He gave me detailed information and answered every single question I had. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and if he couldn’t take my call, I received an email right away to explain why he was busy and schedule a time to speak. I cannot recommend Nakase Accident Attorneys and Employment Lawyers highly enough; Brad Nakase is a new breed of lawyer who actually cares.

    Brad Nakase and his team helped me so much more than I expected them to. Brad is a skilled lawyer, no doubt about it, but he is so much more. He organizes a team of experts, doctors, investigators, and even has contacts in the police to get documents that I had trouble getting. Yes, I could have handled my case by myself, but everything was so easy with Brad helping me out. He got things sorted in record time and was always available for my questions or concerns.

    Nakase Accident Lawyers and Employment Attorneys are the best lawyers I have ever worked with. They are so personable, efficient, and make you feel like you have a choice in how your case is handled. I truly felt like they cared about me and my rights and wanted to help me make an informed decision. I would highly recommend them for anyone who needs a liability lawyer.

    When my mother was taken away in an ambulance after a car accident, I was shaken, to say the least. I found Attorney Brad Nakase online. I called him immediately. I feel like I not only found an personal injury attorney for my case, but a friend for life. I cannot believe the care and attention, Attorney Nakase gives to his clients. The results he got for my mother’s case are astonishing. His dedication is inspiring!

    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...
