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

I would like to thank attorney Jeffrey Tenenbaum for representing me. He listened to my account of the incident and concerns with having a prior. Jeffrey informed me not to worry. He explained the process of putting my case on calendar, reviewing my case and speaking with the prosecutor in having my case dismissed. In no time, I received a call from Mr. Tenenbaum informing me that my case had been dismissed. Unfortunately, I was not content to learn that CA law requires that my case, despite dismissal, remain a public record. I, again, express my gratitude to attorney Tenenbaum for representing me.

I reached out to Mr. Tenenbaum because I've known 5 other people that have used him with amazing outcomes. And my experience with him was exactly the same! I got exactly what I was asking the court for and then some. Not only was he responsive, considering he's in court a lot of the time, if I needed a question answered or a message given right away all I had to do was contact Jessica in his office and it was done that day. I've seen a couple of reviews talking about "they only care about the money". First off every business, in order to run, takes money, if you don't have or want to spend the money then I would suggest getting a public defender and living with whatever outcome they give you. To be honest, he worked with me on the cost and I borrowed what i needed to because I knew that in my situation, I really couldn't take the chance on failing in court, and in my experience, you get what you pay for. So if you want somebody that's going to fight for you and right alongside you, to get you the best possible outcome hands down, then I would contact Tenenbaum Law Firm. I had high expectations going into this process with him and he met every one of them. God is good!

Mr.Tenenbaum did what he does best...he helped me out when I most needed help! He worked with me on the attorney fees, he represented me in court as I lived out of town, and best of all he got all charges dropped! He & his law firm kept in touch with me throughout the whole process & they answered my questions everything I would reach out to them! I would recommend his lawfirm! He has a great team! Thank You guys! You guys did an AWESOME JOB!!!

Mr tenembaum has represented me on 3 different cases and also took on a few others with me and ran them concurrent with my current case. He has always worked with me on his pricing and when I had lost all hope on my second serious case I was looking at 16 years with the public defender he worked and worked amd worked and got me 3 years with half time. This man is very knowledgeable and gets to know you as a person and not as the criminal on paper he checks up on me makes sure I'm doing good. Answers any questions I have him and Jessica make a great team. The sheriff's department was refusing to release me my property he filed a motion and got my property back for me. He has seen me grow into a better person and takes chances. He sees the good In people and if you want an attorney who cares I suggest you hire Jeffrey tenenbaum. He has guided me to be better and has helped me through the worst. So thank you Mr tenenbaum for all your hard work.

Attorney Tenenbaum helped me with my DUI case, the results were impressive. Judge wanted to sentence me to 64 days in jail along with a pretty big fine, Attorney Tenenbaum brought it down to 3 days house arrest, no community service, and a lower fine. I used vacation days for the house arrest so my job was never at risk. I attended my first court after that Attorney Tenenbaum showed up for me for the duration of my case (few years). I’m very pleased with his service, staff was very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend his services and will most definitely go back to him if I ever need him.

Once you pay the whole amount up front (a must), this guy doesn't bother to return your calls, texts or even emails until the night before case hearing(if your'e lucky). I don't understand why he has good reviews, I generally don't write reviews but felt compelled to write this one. Went through a nightmare dealing with this guy.

Vijay is a knowledgeable and helpful attorney. He was there for me and helped me through a difficult incident. Mr. Dinakar communicates with his clients, tells them the possible outcomes, and delivers results. Do your research, he is reputable around town and is a straight shooter. 5 stars for Vijay and his firm. He's one of the better lawyers out there. Don't look for anyone else, hire Vijay for your legal needs.

Vijay is a very good attorney. I call him brother and he is like a brother to me. I approached him with my DUI case and while the case was pending I was charged with Domestic violence felony. I am an immigrant and was terrified that I might get deported as I planned my whole future in USA. Vijay helped me with both DUI and DV case and got them dismissed with out any immigration consequences to me.

I hired Vijay to represent me in my Domestic Violence case. He did a great job and saved me from criminal charges. He predicted everything in the case correctly.

Vijay is the best DUI attorney. I went for consultations with many attorneys and finally met Vijay regarding my DUI case. He is a very patient person. Heard my side of the story read the police report and took time to understand what I said. All other attorneys said that I will be convicted. But Vijay assured me that he will get the charges dismissed and as promised he did. I am glad I hired him.

When my son was stuck in custody for two months over a felony charge and we were worried about him missing school, Patrick Valencia is a wonderful lawyer who replaced our previous expensive lawyer. Patrick is very knowledgeable about juvenile court and settled the case with one call to the DA. My son was then released quickly so he could resume a normal lifestyle and complete school. He is very considerate of his customers, and was always there for us when we had simple questions or a bigger problem. If you have problems with juvenile court, I highly recommend reaching out to Patrick and VIB Law, as he charges a very reasonable price and the results are amazing.

After reading numerous reviews for law firms that handled my type of case, I gave VIB a call and they put me in touch with Cameron Bowman. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable and I was especially reassured by his extensive past history as a prosecutor in the Santa Clara County DA’s Office. In my particular case I was being falsely accused but was in a situation where the accusation alone could result in a conviction so I needed serious help. Cameron immediately got me working with he and his team which included in addition to those in this office, an excellent Private Investigator and a Mental Health professional (they helped access the accuser and make contact with her prior friends and associates) who were key to the case. Cameron and his team worked on putting together extensive reports, letters, pre-trial testimony and corroborating evidence which finally resulted in a full dismissal. I’m confident that without his reputation with the DA’s office, they never would have taken the deep look at the evidence necessary to see that the case should be dismissed. It probably would have ended up in trial and at that point anything could have happened. So I will forever be grateful to Cameron, VIB and the team that he assembled, for their successful handling of everything and ultimate complete dismissal of my case.

I was in a domestic violence case. I didn't have nice experience with my first attorney. I was very lucky to find Mr. Cameron Bowman of VIB law and switched to him to represent me. It turned out to be a right choice. Mr. Bowman was very professional. He reached out to DA multiple times to present supporting materials for my case. He was engaged and kept me updated during the entire process so that I knew my case was taken good care of. He was very patient in answering my questions and explaining court proceedings during my communication with him via phone and email. He also represented me in court in person. Finally my case got dismissed! I can't thank him and his team enough for their help and effort. I highly recommend Mr. Bowman for domestic violence case.

Mr. Bowman is AMAZING!!! I can't thank him enough for the work he did on my son's case. He went above and beyond in every way. Every email or call i made was answered and responded to promptly and he explained everything to us every step of the way during his court proceedings. He was very honest about my son's case and what he was up against but he never stopped fighting for the best outcome for my son & in the end he got my son's case dismissed!!! I recommend him to anyone who needs an amazing criminal defense lawyer!

04/23/21 Riccardo Ippolito I highly recommend Attorney Riccardo Ippolito from Valencia, Ippolito & Bowman Law firm to anyone who is in dire straits for an expert Criminal Law Defense Attorney. Moreover, Mr. Ippolito’s expertise in the field of criminal law has helped me tremendously in dismissing several charges that have hindered one’s ability to have any form of life for many years. Unfortunately, due to the: severity, magnitude, ramifications, and stigma of the charges, it has taken a long time to get my charges dismissed. To sum it up, by Mr. Ippolito’s knowledge of the law and the grit to stand in my corner to fight for what is just and right, he has allowed me to have somewhat of a meaningful life.

Awesome attorney. Worth the extra $$ did a great job with my case went above and beyond what he was hired to do. You definitely get your money’s worth. I recommend him if you need a good attorney to help with your legal problems. Don’t be cheap and go with a public defender. Give Mr. Aljouny a call if you want to see results. Almost every attorney will just take your money, but not every attorney will fight for you.

I am a new immigrant and was in the trouble of DV and seek help from Edward , It was a long journey before I can't before he actually make it to incredible result on the court work with DA . In the beginning , we didn't believe we can make it . On the end , he didn't give up and work with DA with skills to convince DA promise to drop my case . I am totally happy on this result and thanks for him give my life back . My family and kids don't know how to thank him for the work he has done and retaining him . It is beyond worthy and save my job that is supposed to for the family and my family staying in america . Thaanks, Edward

I am certain that my case would have went much different if I hadn’t hired Mr. Ajlouny to represent me. Not only is it obvious that he has a great standing relationship within the DA office considering his 25+ years on the job, but he was a total shark in the case of my DV charges. He went to every extent to fight for my good name and in the end it was Mr. Ajlounys hard work and confidence that ended up getting my case entirely DISMISSED! This came as a shock to a lot of people because the evidence against me didn’t look too good. Mr. Ajlouny was able to to prove my actions were based on self defense which is truly the honest reason I was in this predicament. But how do you prove that in court? You get a winner mentality, go getter attorney like Mr.Ajlouny. He’s sharp, Keene, well spoken and definitely looks the look, walks the walk and most importantly, he talks the talk! I couldn’t be happier!!!! Thank you Mr. Edward Ajlouny!! You’re THE BEST!!!

Ed Ajlouny is a competent attorney who has seen it all. He has a shrewd legal acumen and professional demeanor. Ed is able to assess how your case will turn out and, if you follow his instructions, your outcome will be as he predicted. I found him to fair about his retainer and in court, he is organized, reliable and tenacious. In fact, now that I look back on how much he did for me, he was a bargain. Years later he was able to produce some information I needed on the spot. If you need a lawyer that will give it to you straight and back you up when the chips are down, then I'd recommend Ed Ajlouny. He is a knight in the day.

I chose Edward to defend me. If I had to do it all again, I’d choose him again. He plays things cool because he knows what he’s doing. I appreciated his call on a Saturday, before Monday court. He was awesome and got things resolved very quickly. I’m happy to serve as a reference to any future client.

Feels good to have my record cleared. Mr. Green is the guy to get that done. Fast, professional and efficient communication by Mr. Green made the whole experience easy.

I could not be happier with my experience with Mr. Green. From Day 1 he was responsive, returned all calls and text messages in a timely manner and talked me through every aspect of my request. Every time estimate he made was accurate and the process start to finish was extremely efficient, especially due to the current covid-19 restrictions, which seemed to cause him no delay at all. I am extremely pleased with the outcome, with Mr Greens’ professionalism and follow through. I would highly recommend his services to anyone that may need assistance and support.

The Best Attorney ever! He will stick with you throughout the whole case, and shows that he got your back! He has reliable sources also. He referred me to a server, and the job was done the same day I called for service. I would definitely recommend him to everyone that I know. He's the Best!

Mr green was very informative and helped me with my exact needs ,thank you.

VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH HOLDEN GREEN. I earned myself a felony when I was 19 years old, (55 years ago) ( 459 auto burglary). It caused me issues with employment and later when I started my business, on who I could get work from, and needless to say it was embarrassing. i did quite a bit of research on what needed to be done, and then I contacted a half a dozen attorneys in Santa Clara county. Right off the get-go several of the attorneys had no idea how to deal with this, so I randomly selected Holden, based on other positive reviews, to meet with first. That was in October 2020. We met in an outside cafe in down town San Jose ‘because of Covid’. He was VERY straight up about everything, he explained everything in detail, and all the steps, including the restoration of my 2nd amendment . rights, which is a separate step. He also made it very clear that the courts were a mess because of Covid, and I should be prepared for this going into Spring before I would get a court date. This is the only thing that Holden did not get correct; Holden called me on January 20th and told me that my felony was reduced to a misdemeanor and the misdemeanor has been expunged. So spring came on January 20th 2021 I found Holden to be very professional, and very thorough. He returned my emails instantly as well as my phone calls. This has been a very rewording experience. I am now 74 years old and this has been hanging over me for most of my life. I just regret that I did not do this many years ago.
