This is the BEST law firm hands down. In 2014 I had run into some issues. After getting bad advice from a shady lawyer, I called Woelfel law. From the start Terry was awesome! Easy to work with and very helpful. Rob Woelfel is the Man! Rob made court appearances not so stressful with his knowledge of law. 4 years later... I called Woelfel Law to help clear up an issue with the court and Terry was awesome again! Relayed my message to Mr Woelfel, got back to me the next day. There is NO other law firm I would ever call. Thanks guys you are the best!!

Michael Chastaine came in my life when everything seemed to go against me. I got indicted by the FBI on a federal case in the Eastern District of California. Let's say I am not the individual that put too much trust in authorities and lawyers. Little did I know that there are stand up individual like Michael still out there. In many occasions he took time out of his personal life to meet with me, help me and guide me through such a difficult process. Not only he represented me through the whole journey, but went far beyond his duty as criminal defense attorney to assure I would get the best outcome. At the end what made him an outstanding attorney is the fact that he is a human after all, he understand that we all are and treat you like one. He has a solid reputation within the federal system and maintain good relationships with every moving part of the government. With his experience he was able to come out with the best strategy and guidance to give me the best possible outcome in my case. Highly recommended criminal defense.

*They may reply to this as me not being a client, but I can confirm I was a client. * This review is a critique of their services provided as a firm. This is my experience with The Chastaine Law Office as a client. Like many people, you do not want to be in the position when you need a lawyer, and in the unfortunate occasion that you need one, you want the best lawyer you can hire. With that being said, I CANNOT confidently recommend The Chastaine Law Office as a reputable, competent, effective or efficient law office. They have an approach (sales technique) of saying that once you hire us, you’ll have the whole firm working on your case instead of just 1 dedicated lawyer. Initially, I felt confident in their capabilities as a firm and was eager to work with them. However, over the course of working with The Chastaine Law Office, I began to wish only 1 lawyer would be focused on my case. At times, there was miscommunication (or lack of communication) amongst the lawyers and paralegals, resulting in redundant conversations which translated to them being unprepared at times. I cannot argue that the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a negative impact on their effectiveness. However, the 3 decades worth of experience was not a positive indicator of adaptability. The Chastaine Law Office struggled with using their online portal which resulted in longer turnaround times for proper coordination. I understand that we must work together to increase a more desirable result, however, I cannot sit idly waiting for the proper utilization of their online portal while I have other personal responsibilities. Without going into too many specific details, my case was not the most straight-forward case, that being said, my situation was not uncommon. I sought legal counsel hoping that I would benefit greatly from a private lawyer instead of retaining a public defender. However, I passionately believe a public defender could have achieved the same results. At times, there were questions they did not have the answers to and directed me to different resources where I can have my questions answered. I understand that not one person knows everything, but when you are paying for a service then answers for the questions regarding your case should be included. With several years of experience as lawyers, I was surprised there was not a clear and concise explanation on what to do as a client. They explained to me what they would attempt to do once I hired them, but once they were hired, I was left clueless on what to do as a client. The Chastaine Law Office should employ a more effective, methodical and communicative approach conveying to their clients what they can simultaneously do so their lives can return to normal. [TL;DR] Lastly, I do apologize for having a harsh tone. The Chastaine Law Office wasn’t entirely a waste of money, however, I do believe they have a lot to work on from a client’s perspective. Jessica Davis and Shane Hoover were pleasure to work with and had a great deal of empathy. They are the reason why my review did not result in a lower rating. Overall, I believe better results could have been achieved if that opportunity wasn’t lost due to switching between lawyers in the firm, competency deficiencies, ineffective counsel and COVID-19. Thank you for reading, and best of luck on your search for legal services. I hope everything works out for you.

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.

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.

He was a calming and confident presence during my Restraining Order proceedings. He treated me as a valuable client. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support he gave me and my family. These people know their craft and walk the extra mile for you. My case was handled with the upmost care and professionalism. I also appreciated working with people that care for you on a personal level instead of just handling you as a “case“. His team is AWESOME, Ms. Sayra Ramos-Martinez and Ms. Lori Brown was amazing with informing me with everything that I needed and keeping me updated. I HIGHLY Recommend Foos Gavin Law Firm ????....

I had a very scary unfortunate experience. My prior representation wasn’t doing anything close to what was done for me here at this law firm. I was facing some serious charges . I got them basically dropped with an agreement to do two days of classes. I was facing trial , scared to death. Mr. Foos worked with me financially so that I was able to retain his expertise. Not cheap but well worth it. I hope I don’t ever have to refer friends but if I do it will be here to this firm. I find my self extremely lucky!

I had a family emergency, a life changing issue that was unwarranted. I reached out to multiple attorneys, but only David Foos, Esquire made the extra effort to understand and correct the issue. Mr. Foos was diligent, expedient, and most importantly, available!!! He answered the calls when we were worried. He updated us at every step of the way. He replied to emails quickly; even last minute worries in the late of evening! He was there every step of the way. I've rarely felt as confident and at ease with my life's issues. Mr. Foos showed the confidence, experience, compassion, and determination to resolve a difficult situation. When I said I was satisfied, Mr. Foos offered, to great respect and proof of his honorific duties, to continue to fight and create an outcome that greater benefited my family's life!

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.

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.

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.

Excellent law firm! My husband was charged with 3 felonies and looking at a potential term of 12 years. He had a previous record with a strike. My husband’s past record was ugly and we were real worried. Our attorney, Erica Graves, used everything possible and negotiated a 5 year term. She also used her experience and knowledge of the legal system to create a plan to reduce that term even more. He will now be home in 3 years! Erica listened to our concerns and empathized with our personal challenges. She maintained consistent communication and we always felt that we were part of a team. When my terminally ill mother-in-law desired to attend her son’s sentencing, Erica coordinated the court date with us so she could attend and it meant the world to us. She provided aggressive representation and never sugar-coated anything, and let me mention she did all this while pregnant and wearing heels! Beauty and brains. We definitely recommend her and the Law Office of Wing & Parisi.

Not only did she speak with me directly early one morning, but I had representation by my side within a half hour on that same morning. Jessica Graves was given my case by her office and she laid out a plan that we followed and although the wheels of justice truly move very slowly, we followed the plan and the out come was better than I could have hoped for. I am so grateful to this law firm. Professional and hard working.

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.
