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

Do not hire this lawyer. I spoke to him over the phone, sounded like he was ready to help, discussed my case and decided to hire him. After the contract was signed and i paid. I was unable to get a hold of him again, to this day.. I now have an arrest warrant because I did not appear to the court he failed to notify me about. My violation occurred in May of 2020. Its now May 2021. FRAUD!!!

This was my first time ever needing an Attorney, and I did a lot of research. I trusted in the reviews from Google to help me decide. Based off the reviews, I decided to go with Douglas Goss Law Firm. He IMMEDIATELY contacted me and made me feel at ease and confident in his abilities to help me during this difficult time. We initially talked on the phone briefly regarding my situation and he agreed to take my case. That evening he emailed me the contract, I signed and paid him in full. After he received payment, he asked me to provide all supporting documentation to help back my claim. He did acknowledge that he received my documents via email and claimed he would begin working the case the following day. He called me for a second time, the following day to discuss the details and his plan. After that, I never heard back from him. After almost a week of me trying to get ahold of him, I finally get a text response stating he was in the hospital and would call me the following day, which never happened. I attempted to call, email and text MULTIPLE times asking him for status updates, but never replied. I then began requesting him to cancel the contract as he did not provide services as agreed. To this day, I STILL have NOT heard from him. He is a fraud!!!! Do NOT hire this man! Poor communication and lack of following thorough with our contract. He stole my money and never worked my case.

THIS IS AN UPDATE: 08/01/2021: This is an update to my speeding ticket case , it was DROPPED! Thank you for this great office. They did the Job without even reaching out to me, very responsible and professional!Mr. Goss took time from his personal time and spoke with me on a new years day! I had a speeding ticket and decided to reach out to his office and discuss my case, he was more than an honest, professional and also very assuring about expectations. I reviewed the firm website and he totally matched my expectations. He offered free consultation to check if my case is truly need his assistance. He is genuine and professional and actually very friendly to discuss and speak too. Totally giving him 6 starts!

Bad lawyer. Don't go to Douglas Goss or your case will be screwed. Go find a better lawyer who is not only good at what they do and who wants to work.

I am so thankful for this legal team. I am a stay at home mother and it is very important for me to stay home and care for my kids. Mr. Goss waived my legal fee since I am an old client from almost 10 years ago! What a miracle, I really needed this legal representation and they totally came through. Veteran friendly and very professional. Would definitely recommend.

I was emailing Jesse, sent him all my court information and he never got back to me. Called the office and they told me they would give my case to Carin, who I also sent everything to and all she did was ask for my phone number, which I sent and I never received a call or email or anything. Just a big waste of time. I was really trying to retain them since I read good reviews. I just had a bad experience with communication with them.

I was pulled over by CHP back in 2017 after cutting off a driver who had been going too slow in the left lane. The officer asked me if I had consumed any drinks that evening, and I answered truthfully -- yes, but I had stopped 4 hours ago. The "yes" was only the answer he was looking for, and I was forced out of my car for field sobriety testing. The officer administered the tests multiple times until he was satisfied that he had a result he could exploit, then placed me into the back of his patrol vehicle and hauled me off to county jail. When I was released the next day, I asked my attorney friends for recommendations for a good DUI attorney. When I explained the nuances of my arrest and the ramifications of a potential DUI conviction on my career to the recommended attorneys, several of them referred me to the person they said they would want to represent themselves: Peter Johnson. It is not an exaggeration to say that Peter has written the book on DUI defense, because he has, literally; search for "California Driving Under the Influence Defense" by Taylor and Johnson, and you'll find the 2020-2021 edition, published by Thomson Reuters. I scheduled an appointment and met with Peter a day or two later. We got straight to the facts while they were still fresh, both of us writing down everything, and then explained to me his strategy: trust nothing about the "facts" provided by the officer, but question and verify everything. He then got to work, and oh man, did he do a good job. The field test results were thrown out by the judge because they were found to be improperly obtained. The blood tests were also suspect, as the DA's office had their lab test them five (!!) times, with varying results each time. Their own lab director refused to testify to the veracity of the results, which is just mind boggling. Peter said that he would fight for me, and fight he did: my case was recently settled to my satisfaction. I hope that you do not need his services, but if you do, give him a call. You will not regret it.

With my experience: Peter Johnson was/is a very profession, straightforward and knowledgeable attorney and knows the laws both federal and state and your best interest at heart, giving you all the options that best suit my case. And Jen his associate was so helpful. She always kept me updated on all court dates, appearances. And answered all my question in a very efficient manner. After talking to her and Peter, before the phone call ended you knew everything would workout and everything would be fine. Thank you so much for all you have done and your still doing. If your looking for a great attorney give Peter a call...differently a 5 star representation.

Attorney Jesse Gill helped me get through a very difficult case. He was very generous with his time. He is also genuinely caring and compassionate. Excellent explanations and descriptions of my options. He always answered my calls and text messages within minutes or hours; never days. Best of luck in your journeys with CA's legal systems.

Highly recommend attorney Jesse Gill who judiciously yet thoughtfully spent time and effort with my niece to understand and address a complicated guardian case/issue. He was highly recommended to us by a very experienced well regarded attorney, Mr.Stone, and delivered as expected. We are most appreciative.

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.

    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.
