What can I say? My criminal case just got dismissed on Thursday 10th of June 2021. I am FREE. I AM FREE. I AM FREE, all because I had the wisdom to hire Gill. You can tell a good Lawyer the moment you step into his office and you can tell a terrible one the same way .Trust me I saw it all during this 2 years of this terrible case. I lost my job and was about to be deported for a crime I didn't commit . Yes the government had overwhelming evidence to put me behind bar. Medical report, police report , 5 witnesses , 1 expert witness. It was like the end has come for an immigrant black man like myself . It was my word alone against the might of the government. I was scared. Gill wasn't my first hire. I hired one Richard in Sacramento ,who I must confess I knew more law than he will ever do. Richard tried to cut me a deal I refused. He bailed out on me before trial. Gill somera took on this case 4 weeks before trial. He breezed into the court room like he owned it looking smart in that navy blue suit. He wasn't afraid and that gave me that needed confidence. He talked with the DA. Trial was scheduled. He did his thing and on the 3rd appearance the DA gave me a deal I couldn't refuse. To hear that WORD DISMISAL WAS LIKE HEAVEN ON EARTH. Thanks to you Gill and thanks to my God in heaven who gave you the strength and grace to fight and win. Sorry for all the typos lol... I am free ..I am free .I am free. I sleep like a baby now.

I met Mr. Somera years ago as a juror on one of his cases and walked away amazed at the passion and gracefulness he had during trial. I asked him for his card back then because you never know when you need a good attorney and low and behold years later a friend needed help and I knew just who to call. This case was a devastating vehicular manslaughter incident and a young man was looking at years of prison time. Before we contacted Mr. Somera, my friend had a different private attorney who did not do him any justice. He was still looking at prison time and nothing was getting accomplished. I was losing sleep thinking that this attorney was not doing his best for his client and I knew in my heart that if someone could amend this situation it would be Mr. Somera. Once I met with Mr. Somera, I was finally able to rest having seen him previously fight for another person’s life. Mr. Somera and his staff, especially Viviana, Jessica and Monique, are top of the line. There simply isn’t another attorney in the area that can do what Mr. Somera can do. My friend ended up with no prison time and is now home with his family. We all know this would not have been possible without the help of Mr. Somera. He works tirelessly to get the absolute best for his clients and while he is busy working hard his staff makes sure that you are taken care of. If you want help from someone who is committed to excellence and has the staff to back that up, then look no further. You will not find it anywhere but here.

Gil stepped in and fought like no other for me, as my attorney didn't have time to get to court, when I was added on the docet literately moments prior. I hired him for my fiance and he is very attentive to his case. He never does not answer the phone and responds quickly in the event he is unable to answer. He is professional and makes sure his client's needs are met. We could not be more grateful for his responsiveness and all the he does. Thank you Gil Joshua and I could not be more happy to have you represent him and work so hard on his case.

Not much to say best lawyer ever did great on my case and my brothers case he’s honest respectful caring and doesn’t kill people with the prices he’s the best he’s the only lawyer I would recommend to everybody I know thanks so much Gil

Gilbert Somera was my lawyer and he is amazing at his job ! if it wasn't for him I would have so many burdens but he solved them for me quickly and very efficiently ! thank you so much Mr. Somera ! I HIGHLY recommend him

Jennifer, Paul and her team are impeccable. They’ve been thorough and transparent during every step of the long and arduous legal battle for my mentally unstable brother, especially during the unprecedented times revolving the COVID-19 pandemic. The trepidation and uncertainty when you’re dealing with law enforcement and court proceedings can be overwhelming but Jennifer was there to help navigate every step of the way. We appreciated how she did not sugarcoat any details as well as demonstrated immense patience while dealing with a mentally accused inmate. Court proceedings were stressful and exhausting—whenever it felt like we were failing or losing hope, Jennifer always had a way out to keep the battle going. This lady is equipped from plan A to Z. Her legal knowledge and patience combined with high tenacity is what anyone would want in a capable defense attorney. We’re glad we’ve retained her services and she deserves all the credit for the reason our family member is still alive and fighting to this day. Her lengthy legal experience and her teams commitment to fighting for your legal rights is astounding. She’s an advocate for your rights. Thank you, Jennifer.

Jennifer Mouzis is one of the most honest trustful lawyers i have ever met she is an amazing defense lawyer and does her job thoroughly and will always be on your side and have your back. I've had to go through a few lawyers before I finally met the right one which was her! She's great I highly recommend

The attorney who will fight for you! Jennifer Mouzis has truly been an angel in our lives. My son was arrested for resisting arrest while he was experiencing a severe psychotic break. He was unexpectedly released from jail while still in a psychotic break and I had no idea where he was. Jennifer and her investigator personally searched the streets of downtown Sacramento looking for him. We finally found him at the emergency room. Jennifer helped us navigate the court system when complications arose in his case. She is sincerely passionate about helping people get justice and to be treated fairly by the justice system. She is extremely patient and took the time to explain whatever we inquired about. She listened to everything I told her and understood what we were going through. She saved my son's life. Jennifer Mouzis is the attorney to trust.

Don't let this kind professional young lady fool you, she is a ferocious pit bull when it comes to Protecting her clients. I am thoroughly impressed with Jennifer. She is very professional and truly cares about her clients and the impact that injustice has on them. She does not take shortcuts she doesn't back down from a fight. She is not the cheapest and was not the most expensive but she was so worth it. She is definitely one of the few that give lawyers a good name. I highly recommend her and her staff. Her investigator Paul, is professional, serious and very thorough. Thank you Jennifer and Paul for the positive impact you have made in my life.

Sometimes we go through unexpected incidents in our lives. Incidents that it’s so hard to believe it’ll happen ... but first, I thank God for continuing blessing me with people who truly cares and will defend me regardless of the situation maybe. The Law Office of David Knoll is such a blessings to me. They are very dependable, reliable, fast to resolve my case. I thought I wouldn’t win my victory ... but with their help, I won !!! To those people who thinks your case is impossible to get resolved ... please don’t loose your hope ... hire David Knoll and you’ll expect the sure VICTORY!!!

Highly recommend especially if you only have a few questions and do not know what to do. Christi is the lawyer working with David and Christi answered my call on Saturday plus answered all my questions instead of asking me for a retainer before she answered any questions, unlike the rest of these law offices. She gave me a piece of mind! And she handled my situation quickly and affordably.

I've been in trouble before.. Ive been around long enough to know that you're much better off with a paid attorney than a PD. You get what you pay for is what my mother always said.. When I was referred to Dave Knoll by a personal friend I was told that he and Christy had gotten all charges dismissed. I thought I could only be so lucky. Having multiple cases, the retainer was higher than expected, but was fair, after all things considered. I had three separate cases in two different counties. One of which was a serious felony with a prior strike. I remember, at one point, I felt disatisfied as if my opinion or concerns were being brushed off without proper consideration. In actuality I was just being overly anxious. Probably, due to the stress and pressure of possible prison time over my head. We completed the felony case last month when Dave got all charges dropped at prelim. This just 2 weeks after the DA made an offer of 2 years in state prison at 80% and 3 years formal probation. I hope for similar resolutions, with the other two cases. In any case I think hiring David Knoll is the best decision I ever could have made.

I am beyond surprised and am glad I hired David Knoll and Christy! My speeding infraction and driving with sus license charges will not be charged to me and will not appear on my record! I am so thankful they got me such an awesome deal of only having to do a short educational program costing me only 300$ which saves me so much more! I am grateful for David and Christy, they truly listen and understand our struggles and want to help us in the best way possible! God bless you David and Christy!

Christy Van Stelle is amazing!!!! I reached out to her after having researched other lawyers for the expungement of my case and am so happy that I chose her for my case. My case was expunged within a few weeks and during the whole process, she was communicating with me and updating me on everything that was going on. She truly cares about the people that she helps and will be very open and honest about everything that is going on. She also could have charged me way more but states that this was a type of case she handled all the time and would not overcharge me like the rest of the lawyers I had contacted. I am super glad that I chose her, she would always answer any questions, she didn't judge me and put my mind at ease whenever I was over worrying. She also always returned my calls and was honest. I wish I would have gotten her for my conviction case but glad I found her for the expungement. I HIGHLY recommend her.

You may not remember me but I do remember you. You represented me during a title IX investigation into my alleged conduct at UC Davis nearly a decade ago. As I grow older I realize the importance of letting others know when their career truly benefits others. I wanted to reach out and thank you for your assistance and your professionalism in representing me. Without you I wouldn't be a physician today.

He's a standup guy! I had discovered him online, called before even hiring and he gave me useful information, I didn't hire him at that time. I used his information to talk to my public defender but it wasn't going anywhere. About year and half gone by and D.A. was trying to give horrible deal. I contacted Richard again and he took the case even being as old as it was! Couple months preliminary hearings go by and BOOM! Richard informs me all charges were dismissed! He really fights for you and always made me feel secure with my case in his hands. Thank again, Richard

Allaye Chan Law group is by far one of the best. Criminal defense attorney R. Chan will stand up and fight for you when you need him to. My husband got himself into a severe conflict with the law and was being accused of Felony assault with a deadly weapon plus code enhancement. We thought all hope was lost but Allaye Chan worked us wonders and got the charge dropped to a misdemeanor. Not only did he get the Felony charge dropped but he also got sentencing reduced greatly. We couldn't be more thankful for all the time and work he put into the case. He is an expert at what he does and truly knows his way around the courtroom. He cares about his clients and goes above and beyond for them. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of a strong defense attorney. If you find yourself in need of a Great Defense attorney don't hesitate to pick up the phone and call, he will not let you down!

This firm has represented two of my family members in separate matters and both had successful outcomes. Mr. Allaye-Chan personally represented a family member in a criminal case and was successful in having the charge dismissed. Another family member was 7 days away from having their home auctioned due to foreclosure and Mr. Allaye-Chan and his associate, Shannon, quickly filed paperwork for bankruptcy to save their home. It was very short notice but Mr. Allaye-Chan again met personally with the family member and started work immediately to stop the foreclosure. He definitely has a Type A personality which may be off-putting to some people, but he has gotten results for my family and I would highly recommend him and his firm.

Richard Chan is great, I recommend. He has the confidence to win for sure. Watching him work is like art. As a lawyer my boyfriend requested his services and Richard was able to breeze right through the case effortlessly. This man has vast knowledge and isn’t scared of a challenge. If you need a criminal defense lawyer I would give Richard Chan a call.

    He's a standup guy! I had discovered him online, called before even hiring and he gave me useful information, I didn't hire him at that time. I used his information to talk to my public defender but it wasn't going anywhere. About year and half gone by and D.A. was trying to give horrible deal. I contacted Richard again and he took the case even being as old as it was! Couple months preliminary hearings go by and BOOM! Richard informs me all charges were dismissed! He really fights for you and always made me feel secure with my case in his hands. Thank again, Richard

    Allaye Chan Law group is by far one of the best. Criminal defense attorney R. Chan will stand up and fight for you when you need him to. My husband got himself into a severe conflict with the law and was being accused of Felony assault with a deadly weapon plus code enhancement. We thought all hope was lost but Allaye Chan worked us wonders and got the charge dropped to a misdemeanor. Not only did he get the Felony charge dropped but he also got sentencing reduced greatly. We couldn't be more thankful for all the time and work he put into the case. He is an expert at what he does and truly knows his way around the courtroom. He cares about his clients and goes above and beyond for them. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of a strong defense attorney. If you find yourself in need of a Great Defense attorney don't hesitate to pick up the phone and call, he will not let you down!

    This firm has represented two of my family members in separate matters and both had successful outcomes. Mr. Allaye-Chan personally represented a family member in a criminal case and was successful in having the charge dismissed. Another family member was 7 days away from having their home auctioned due to foreclosure and Mr. Allaye-Chan and his associate, Shannon, quickly filed paperwork for bankruptcy to save their home. It was very short notice but Mr. Allaye-Chan again met personally with the family member and started work immediately to stop the foreclosure. He definitely has a Type A personality which may be off-putting to some people, but he has gotten results for my family and I would highly recommend him and his firm.

    Richard Chan is great, I recommend. He has the confidence to win for sure. Watching him work is like art. As a lawyer my boyfriend requested his services and Richard was able to breeze right through the case effortlessly. This man has vast knowledge and isn’t scared of a challenge. If you need a criminal defense lawyer I would give Richard Chan a call.

Hendrick is a really great, professional lawyer. My fiancé and I were searching for an attorney that would represent in his favor && he did exactly that. Got all charges dropped and now we can live comfortably. I would definitely call him again in future endeavors. Thankful and happy that the outcome was great and I would definitely recommend him.

Very Responsive!! Hendrick had my probation warrant cleared the day after I contacted him. He appeared in court for me on my arraignment and got my probation complete with time served and now he working on getting my charges expunged. He handled my case in a timely manner. Everything was cleared up with a week of me contacting him. No warrant, No Probation/ Alternative Sentencing or jail time. I'm free and clear!

Thank you Mr. Hendrick, Erica and Crowell Law Offices for helping me with my case. Excellent service provided in Sacramento. My family and I appreciate all your hard work. He is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend him to everyone in need of a attorney.

Attorney Hendricks helped me so much with my dui case. I’m so grateful And glad I read all the post I’ve reviews and chose him to represent my case. I am a daca recipient so it only made my case 10x more important and he did his best although it was a long process to to the DA, he didn’t give up on me. Him and his team were very responsive with my calls and emails. Thank you all!

I am a born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and I was very impressed that he's (forgot the lawyer's name) a Christian, a believer in Jesus Christ and is not ashame to announce it on the website. Keep spreading the good news!

    Michelle is an amazing attorney who cares about her clients.

    Charles is one of the Lawers at this firm and is really great when it comes to putting you first. He helped me a lot and I recommend anyone to this firm because they work as a team. God bless America and those in the legal system fighting for justice. Spaulding Campi thank you for fighting for me.

    they do not return phone calls!!!!

    Michelle Spaulding truly is a compassionate and caring person and great attorney. She goes above and beyond and then beyond some more. She doesn't judge and is very smart and quick thinking. She has no problem understanding complex issues and is willing to take the time and listen to all your concerns. I can't thank her and her associates and staff enough. You don't find attorneys like them very often if ever. They were an answer to prayer.

    Before Michelle and Patricia started their own firm they helped my nephew last year with a serious felony. They worked very hard on his case and and got the charges reduced significantly but what we did not expect was the follow up regarding him meeting the terms of his probation. I feel Patricia Campi gave our family a second chance. I can personally recommend these attorneys and I want to thank them for their work.

    if you want a lawyer that will look you right in the eye and LIE to you, pay this guy. I paid him to attend a hearing for me ( with me) for ".03 no traffic stop" dui . John literally lied to me about why he would not take the case saying " I want this case, but need to be paid" ( I had the money. and it was there in the account that I already paid him out of.) This case was "too hard" for him...Turns out a gal out of law school barely over a year met with the judge and DA and got it dismissed in ONE meeting. My experience is that there may be ONE ethical attorney in all of Sacramento.

    I can't thank John Campanella enough for helping clear my record. As my DUI attorney he was very informative and caring along the whole process which made me very confident and eliminated a lot of the stress that could be involved.

    John is awesome. He really goes out if his way to help you out when you need it most. He is caring, empathetic, tenacious, and intelligent! Could not be any happier in dealings with John. If anyone can help he can!

    As my DUI attorney John Campanella has been very knowledgeable and responsive throughout the legal process. He has appeared on my behalf and kept me informed at each stage and made himself available to answer any questions after resolution of my case. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a highly professional DUI attorney to help them in the unfortunate event of having to defend themselves against DUI charges.

    Couldn't be more pleased with the services provided!! I found myself in a very unfortunate situation but thanks to John Campanella I don't have a thing to worry about. The constant updates of the proceedings and the prompt replies to any questions made this the best experience possible under the circumstances.

    Dennis and his staff are hands down the most helpful law firm I've ever had to retain for my legal battles.

    I called the office of Denis White to inquire about my issue with my license after a 3rd DUI conviction. I wanted to know if he would be able to help me in my exact situation and he was more than willing to give me excellent advice as well as sound knowledge of DUI law. He is an honest, and straight forward attorney that does not gauge people for money in his own self interest. He is what I would embody in excellent service and I give him nothing but praise for what he does.

    I learned more from Denis in one phone consultation than I could have learned in a week or more if at all. He is knowledgeable, professional and kind, I would recommend him as a first choice for anyone in this difficult situation.

    Dennis is an excellent choice for anyone going through this difficult experience. He was very helpful and infomative from the 1st call. Dennis told the situation like it was but also had trmendous sympathy for what I was going through. He laid out what I needed to do and followed up in timely manner to ensure that it was completed. For anyone who is in this legal situation Dennis White is a top notch professional attorney who will be there for you. I would give him 10+ stars!! Excellent Job Dennis!

    Denis' depth of knowledge really helped me through a scary moment in my life. He was wonderful at taking large concepts and making them easy to understand and digest. He was able to give me solid advice, helping to calm my nerves. If you want someone to defend you and have your best interest in focus and be able to have creative solutions, call Denis. Easy to talk to and very polite. I would certainly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services!
