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!

Well we will have to see.... I put my trust in him. And I have faith. He seems strong.

Donte has helped my boyfriend in facing felony charges he is truly a blessing and a great Lawyer. Highly Recomended

Knowledgeable of the law and very polite professional and courteous

I decided to hire Donte T. Wyatt after the courts decided to take action against me on charges from December 2011 for narcotics sales in June 2012. He went through a lot of trouble for me by searching for specifics about my situation for it was not exactly simple. This was my first adult case, however my juvenile record is full with a history of negativity. One of the charges from my juvenile record showed a strike which i DID NOT know about until I hired Donte and he reviewed my records. He told me exactly what I needed to do to impress the judge and show them that i am sincere about changing my life. He urged me to stay in school and excel well in my academics so I had the grades to support our word. He always responded to questions or concerns whenever he had a spare moment to do so. He walked me through my case step by step every time we met, and instead of telling me one big goal were trying to reach, he explained that the strategy he felt would be most effective would be to set smaller goals as if they were stepping stools to reach the top of a ladder. Last Monday was my sentencing date. With the teamwork of him telling me what I needed to do, and me going and doing so, he was able to have my judge ignore my strike, and take into consideration the fact that I had spent time away for this same charge due to a juvenile parole hold. This allowed me to get the time served for those few months I served as a violation which convinced the judge that I had served enough time and that she would allow me to continue trying to better my life in the community rather than spending more time incarcerated. I would highly recommend Mr. Wyatt because he is A) honest, which is something many other attorneys lack today, B) he knows what he is talking about, he told me the possibilities and he told me n specifics what I could do to better the possibilities, and the outcome of my case proves he knew exactly what he was speaking of, and C) he keeps you up to date with any information he acquires and does not sugar coat anything. He tells you how it is.

When a family member of mine was arrested, I really had no clue who to speak with. I was very unfamiliar with the system and after speaking with a list of lawyers, I was really scared we would have to wait to see the judge because of our lack of funds.I remembered hearing of Donte and so I searched his name and gave him a ring. While I was worried about the money, he assured me we would talk about that later after visiting the jail. He literally hung up the phone with me and drove to the jail to speak with my family member. After just a few days, he was able to get her out of there. Since, Donte has been beyond helpful with every single step we have had to go through. Its not easy being caught up in the system and honestly, every time we hit a bump, Donte has been clear, compassionate and efficient.I honestly feel like he gives us great direction on how to take care of our part while providing all of the resources to do so and always holds up his end- no questions. There are a lot of sleazy lawyers, unfortunately. Donte is a good human being and has become a friend. Legal problems can be petrifying, especially when you have a family to take care of. We are thankful for finding Donte and would absolutely recommend him. I know he is not a super, cheap-o lawyer with absurdly low rates and half-assed representation, but he will work with you. His experience and care has undoubtedly reflected the outcome of our case.

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.

    I found Mark through his good reviews online and I am glad to say he lived up to the reviews. He was always very friendly and helpful. He made my case very easy for me which I am extremely grateful for. I am super happy with the results and I feel he fought for a solution that enables me to put any anxiety I had about this case behind me.

    Mark has been my attorney for twelve years. He has been a blessing to myself, my family and referrals. He is approachable, has legal info at his fingertips that provides a feeling of trust and comfort. Mark is well respected by his peers and judges. I can't say enough for Mark, he takes away the legal anxieties and allowed me to focus on the other consequences of my bad decisions. Always upbeat and a pleasure to work with, he has saved my bacon. Call him.

    Mark was recommended by a friend and co worker. Mark was very adamant to help me when I originally made first contact. Mark predicted the best possible outcome and he achieved just that.

    I had an excellent experience with Mark De Yoe! I feel Mark went above and beyond my expectations on my case! I had a pretty difficult case and I feel that Mark really spent tons of extra time putting a case together in my defense!

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.
