Simon gets a BIG THUMBS UP!!! He is a remarkable attorney in many ways. When talking to him, it doesn't feel like you're talking to a lawyer, but to a friend. He listens carefully with a genuine, sympathetic ear because he really cares about his clients. What I appreciated the most is his thorough knowledge of the law, coupled with his experience, because he was able to give me a clear picture about the process and what I could expect regarding my case. In short, he put my mind at ease very quickly because he is an exceptional attorney with great communication skills and smarts. If you are feeling anxiety and want to hire an advocate who will fight for you, getting you the best outcome possible, do not hesitate to go with Simon Aval! It will be the best decision you've ever made. I couldn't be happier with my choice!

Wow...wow...wow!!! Simon Aval is a 10 star not a five star. Simon has handled my brothers case not once but twice for the same possession with priors. Simon is an attorney who is dedicated to his clients and his clients families. He does not sympathize with one because of the circumstances, he takes it personally as if it was one of his loved ones incarcerated. Simon has passion and loves what he does and has proven it to our family twice. A conviction that should have been 12-20 years due to priors and was looking at a strike, was sentenced to four years with half, county time, and no strike. His dedication is factual and Simon does not sugar coat anything. He makes sure you understand all the fine lines and clarifies what we are not knowledgeable with the law and our rights. Our communication was exceptional and I was kept up to date with the case if there were any changes. Nothing was ever hidden. If you are looking for the BEST CRIMINAL ATTORNEY, look no further...Simon is the one!!!

I discovered Escovar Law on Yelp & their office’s brand stood from the rest. Alexandra Mateus perfectly handled my case even in the midst of a pandemic!

I came across Matt because my boyfriend had gone to him in the past and got good results. I had couple of warrants because I didn't complete the classes that I needed to do for a DUI that I got. I had contacted different lawyers just to see how I felt about each one and to see what they would say my options were. When I spoke to Matt he made me feel like I was gonna be ok. Explained to me everything that I needed to know and explained what he could do to help me fix it. He removed my warrants and re instated my classes and everything that I needed to get done without me having to go to court. I got him another case for my uncle that had a warrant and was arrested and he went to court for him. He was able to get him one year probation when it was gonna be 3 years and some classes. He's very professional and friendly I would highly recommend his services you won't regret it. Thank you Matt!

I hired Andrew and Yvonne to represent me in a difficult, protracted legal situation, during which I had lost hope and became disillusioned with the justice system. I was ready to give up, but Andrew and Yvonne assured me to stay the course. They provided crucial legal advice and emotional support in a trying time for me and my family. Andrew and Yvonne were personable, driven, passionate and highly knowledgeable of the law. In court proceedings, Andrew was professional and highly-regarded by his peers. In the end, I trusted their judgment and we won the case. Andrew and Yvonne went above and beyond their obligations. I would not hesitate to work with them again. I consider myself fortunate both to have them represent me and to know them personally. I highly recommend The Leventhal Firm. They care about their clients and will fight for you.

I spent 8 years meeting with many lawyers who all said the same thing: “you case is too complicated and we can’t help you.” Just when I was losing all hope I was given Patricia’s name. From the moment I met with her I felt there was hope. She fought for me relentlessly for 3 years until last week when I was recognized as an American. She did what all the other lawyers couldn’t. Not only is she the best in her field, she is also a great woman who will pray with you and for you. If you feel like there is no hope, Patricia and her amazing team will find a way to fight for you. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for her. Her team is amazing too. Deanna, Amy, Maria and Victor are so nice and helpful. Working with them was the best thing that happened to me.

I could not have asked for a better person to find and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for help in immigration services. Patty is straightforward and kind and will always push the limits ti get exactly what you deserve. She deeply cares for her clients and is willing to commit wholeheartedly to your case. She always made sure to put my mind at ease and kept me in the loop, never was she annoyed with any questions or concerns and honestly I rarely had doubts. Yesterday, she gave me the greatest news I could have received and I will forever be grateful for this amazing person. She deserves so much more than stars.

I would like to start by saying thank you to The Law Offices of Patricia M. Corrales for all the help they have provided to me and my family throughout the past 8 years. When I first met Patricia Corrales I was confused by her hitting the ground running approach. Patricia humbly introduced herself and immediately began to offer advice related to my DACA case as the program had recently been launched. I felt confident following her advice and to my surprise my DACA was approved shortly after. Patricia Corrales is an extremely dedicated attorney, Ms. Corrales is very talented and very skilled. The Law Offices of Patricia M. Corrales have been involved in a very complicated case for one of my immediate relatives. This particular individual was detained before Ms. Corrales was able to address the case. We had visited several private and non-profit attorneys including several recommended by the consulate, they all yielded to the same result; nonsense! Patricia Corrales was able to get this individual out of detainment and continues to fight for their case. I have never seen an attorney brainstorm the way she does, Ms. Corrales will explore all possibilities and will be able to set realistic expectations. If Ms. Corrales is unable to help, she will be very honest and will not waste your time or money. This particular quality is very hard to find in anybody nowadays as most people running a business will try to generate revenue for set business. Ms. Corrales is not there to play games, she will simply review your situation, let you know the best course of action and get to work pending your approval. Ms. Corrales has a very impressive resume which comprises lots of experience. Ms. Corrales is currently helping my mother with a sensitive case and I am happy to announce that she was able to successfully apply and get my father approved for his permanent residence. Ms. Corrales was there every step of the way and we could not be happier with her results. You can see my father’s picture in her Instagram feed. I cannot stress enough the importance of hiring competent legal representation with criminal and especially immigration cases. I strongly urge you to schedule a consultation with The Law Offices of Patricia M. Corrales if you are in need of these services. Feel free to message me with any questions you may have. Once again, thank you and all the staff at the office for everything you do for the immigrant community.

We hired Acer to represent my husband in restraining order case against one of our tenants. Long story short tenant laid hands on my husband while he was trying to do maintenance on the property. Los Angeles basically favors tenants in almost all cases so we knew we'd have to hire someone that would be able to present this case to a judge in a way that truly represents what we are dealing with it. Acer did just that! He is extremely detailed in all aspects, from gathering all information, putting it together and presenting a visual timeline. At times when the judge was coming down on him, he maintained his cool and explained why we needed to present prior incidents. Ultimately the judge agreed that based on historical incidents we were indeed at risk of being harassed/threatened again and granted my husband the restraining order. As a plus...Acer is super cool! Very easy to talk to and always in a good upbeat mood :)

Everyone at one point or another makes a mistake they wish they could take back while enduring the repercussions of their act. When the law is concerned, the fate of ones’ life can seem to be decided as nonchalant as a casual business conversation. In my case, I revealed my violation when I was applying for the police department to prove my honesty and show that I was ready to start making a difference in my community. My interview soon became an interrogation, and not long after I was charged with three felonies. When I came to Tom Medrano with my case, he immediately began to draw up a plan and described everything in detail what he would do. He used simple anagrams that explained how to go about dealing with the situation and gave counsel with the sense of optimism I needed. Most importantly, by the impression I gathered, he could empathize with my predicament whereas the justice system only made me feel like an outcast among society. I followed instruction by seeing the therapist and psychologist he recommended personally. At the final hearing my case was dropped to a single charge, with no jail time, and a short period of probation. I felt like I could finally relax after being so stressed from the matter. I was very pleased with all Tom had been able to work out. Not only did he reduce the typical sentence, he was able to arrange for a second set of terms. Halfway through my probation we would return to court, reduce the felony to a misdemeanor, discard the remaining time of probation, and expunge the charge from my criminal record. Just as he had planned, the court agreed to dismiss my case. I want to thank Tom so much for representing me and all his hard work. I feel confident I can move on with my life without the burden of my past hindering my future.

Chris was an absolute God-send. After hours of research on local lawyers that held numerous awards, Chris was my top choice because of all the REAL reviews. I was able to walk into the court room with confidence knowing that we were going to win. Chris kept in constant communication with me throughout the entire year long court process, from texts, calls, emails to live meetings, the communication was never exempt. He listened and never rushed me off the phone. Our case wasn't just another number, he actually cared to FIGHT for us. Our family was facing a serious criminal charge that would have altered our entire lives if even given a misdemeanor charge. With Chris' hard work we were able to not only reduce the Felony charge but receive a complete dismissal. No plea, no negotiating. We got exactly what we needed. Chris and his firm's hard work helped keep our family together and provide a future for us. It's important to know that even in 2020, Chris commands a presence when he walks into the courtroom. He is always well dressed, well spoken, and tall. This cannot not be under-estimated when you're asking for him to fight for your life in court against other lawyers who are often meek, sloppily dressed and underwhelming. I will always recommend him to friends and family because Chris has become family.

Not so long ago I was sitting right where you are…semi-frantically scrolling through listings and reviews, trying to figure out what attorney would be my best option to sort out this terrible mess I’d somehow found myself in. Just about the worst feeling there is. To make it worse, I’d just moved to LA and didn’t have even a single contact lined up to ask for a referral. So I get it…but hang tight! I can tell you without any reservation that you’ve found the right place. I have dealt with a few different attorneys over the years, and Chris Miller and associates were by far the most pleasant experience I’ve had. From the second I initially spoke to him on the phone, I felt a huge weight lifted that had been following me around like a dark cloud for days. If any of you have ever dealt with other attorneys you know some of them can be impersonal, dismissive, and leave you feeling like they’re better at squeezing every last dime out of you, than they are at actually representing your interests. Not so with Chris. He takes a personal interest in you, your case, your concerns, and most importantly: fighting for your best possible outcome. After speaking briefly with Chris on the phone and getting a very reasonable estimate for the cost of his services, I opted to come in and talk about the details in person. Chris fit me in with an appointment right away. After arriving I was seen right away, and he listened attentively to everything I had to say and asked detailed questions about the circumstances of my case. I was relieved to find he wasn’t condescending or judgmental in the least. Any questions I had were answered in detail. I was also impressed with Chris’s knowledge regarding the inner workings of local courthouses and jurisdictions. At the end, Chris laid out his plan of action moving forward and again asked if I had any questions or concerns. To top it all off, he then dropped his estimated price slightly without me even asking, based on some of the details I had provided. That sort of honesty and integrity is near impossible to come by nowadays! As the case proceeded, Chris handled all my court appearances etc and would simply update me via text when there were any developments. Throughout the entire process he was prompt to return the inquiries I sent his way, and really left me feeling like I was in good hands. I will also add that he was very accommodating on a payment plan that I could manage, which was another huge relief. But MOST importantly, at the end of it all - Chris attained the absolute best possible outcome for my case. Better than I had even hoped for! I was relaying all this to a friend of mine who went through something similar a year before. He shook his head and informed me he had paid his attorney almost twice what I had and they hadn’t done squat for him when all was said and done... I don’t often write reviews, but Chris Miller is the real deal and I’m eternally grateful to him and his crack team for saving me from being chewed up and spit out by the system. You’re a credit to your profession Chris, keep up the good work and thank you again!!

I spent countless hours researching, vetting, and interviewing attorneys following my DUI incident. Unfortunately, too many DUI attorneys prey on the uninformed with fear tactics and unrealistic promises. A close family friend who works as a Public Defender forwarded me several referrals that ultimately ended with "Richard Hutton - he's expensive, but he's the best." After meeting Rich in person, I understood exactly what she meant and retained him for my case. I can confidently say that I made the right decision. Rich's rapport with the DAs and staff was evident at every court appearance. When the situation felt hopeless, he worked relentlessly to come up with a creative resolution. It was a painful experience to go through, but in hindsight I don't think it could have worked out any better. Nothing is guaranteed, but you are doing yourself a huge disservice if you are charged with a DUI in SoCal and don't spend the time to at least consult with Richard Hutton. Best of luck.

A year ago, I was involved in a hit-and-run (I was the one hit) and officers came to the scene only to arrest me for suspicion of a DUI. With my profession on the line, I had no option but to get a lawyer. I chose Ann Gottesman after my partner and I read some of her reviews online. When I contacted her, she was sincere in her sympathy for my situation and VERY HELPFUL prior to me making a commitment to her as my lawyer. Once I chose Ms. Gottesman as my lawyer, she took care of several of the confusing steps that needed to be taken in order for me to get my license back and drive ASAP. Additionally, she patiently guided me through the process of tasks I needed to complete independently, so I could increase the odds of beating my case. Ann did a great job of communicating the reality of my situation while being reassuring and positive. I was appreciative of her approach because dealing with a DUI is mentally taxing (especially during a pandemic). After a year of having my case pushed back, Ann was able to get my motion heard by a judge to get a dismissal; despite her recognizing that it was a long shot. Thanks to Ann’s expertise, I was able to get a very favorable outcome for my case. Ann’s professionalism, compassion, and dedication towards me and my situation, got me through a dreadful year and a half. I could not be more grateful to have chosen Ann as my lawyer. It was one of the luckiest choices we have ever made. I truly can’t imagine a better lawyer suited to take on a person’s case.

I called around before I found Ann. Every lawyer previous to speaking with her was not very optimistic about my possibilities. Also they were charging a very step rate. Ann right away empathized during times like these and negotiated a very fair price. She was very optimist, energetic, and positive. I really felt she was going to fight for me. She gave me all the steps I need to take and educated me about the process. Ann was able to get my entire case closed with a very tough judge. She has great relationships in Pasadena and is well respected. I couldn’t of asked for a better lawyer that really does do her job and works for her Clients.

I was looking for an Attorney and called the California State Bar, they referred me to three different Attorneys. One of them was Ms. Ann Gottesman when I spoked to Ms. Gottesman, she made me feel very comfortable giving me that sense of peace. I was not wrong about this, throughout the time of my case she was always there to take my calls to answer all my concerns. She always returned my calls. I was never given the run around. She is a true professional and always took the time to explain my case. If you are looking for an Attorney, you are definitely in the right hands.

So you caught a case. You're worried about how you're going to pay for an attorney , how long you will sit in jail, how much your bond will be, and what life will be like after court. I was there too. I had talked to so many attorneys on free consults and it was always the same "pitch". They would use words to make me even more worried and overwhelmed by the whole mess. Fear was the tool they used most to try and get me to sign up with them. Some were rude. I had one laugh at me for not acting on the case sooner. They would always ask how much money or credit i had. That is understandeable. They wanted to "qualify" the sale and see if i was a good fit for their time and budget. The prices that these attorneys quoted me were way out of my budget. I assumed if i wanted the best i had to to pay the most. I assumed if they had a receptionist  take my number with a promise to call back then that meant  they were so busy they must be really good. Some never called back. I fell through the cracks on a simple follow up call with these "busy" attorneys. I dodged the bullet of neglect with these busy attorneys. Eventually i found Ann. She listened and asked questions. She never spoke in the way the other attorneys did. She never tried to scare me into taking action. She looked at everything objectively and educated me along the way through the whole process. She met me where i was on all levels. She was easy to get a hold of. She never lied. She painted the best case scenario and worst case scenario along the way. I always look for someone who has at least 10 years in their profession. That is a sign of Mastery for me.  Ann has more than that under her belt. Her prices and payment plans were  very reasonable. I would not blame her if she had to start raising prices. Your results may vary. I had a case dismissed on a very complicated case. I wish you the best. You are in good hands with Ann. Much better hands than with a public "pretender" . I mean public defender. Get with Ann and get that weight off your shoulders.

I am super grateful for Ms. Gottesman. I knew from the moment we spoke over the phone that she was the lawyer for me. Her kind and gentle energy just pulled me in but she’s fierce in the courtroom and well respected! You always want to retain a lawyer that knows the judges and the DA’s respect. Ms. Gottesman is very professional, she fights hard for her clients she pulled a miracle out of the hat for me! I am so very pleased with the results Ms. Gottesman got for me. I’m free! I don’t even know how she made it happen for me but she did! :) She gets things done and I would hire her over and over again. Retaining her to be my lawyer was one of the best decisions I have ever made and if you are in need of an excellent criminal defense attorney Ann Gottesman is the lawyer to go with! Thank you Ann!:)

All these positive reviews for what ? This incompetent lawyer couldn't even get a reduction for a old case and then the state law ended up changing to reduce it anyway , was just anxious to collect another attorney fee for nothing . His disrespectful assistant will try to ask for your social security number which no lawyer ever does which is even more concerning. Now have to go to arbitration to get my funds back. All in all do not trust this lawyer for your case in any hopes of a positive outcome. Pathetic.

There are times in our life when we are thrown into challenging hard times. Wondering how do I get through this or even how did I get here! Well Mr. Paul Geller was that guiding light. He provided the answers and hope I was searching for. As we know the judicial system is not always perfect and doesn't always protect the innocent. Being falsely accused of domestic violence and arrested for it was disheartening and scary. I actually got to see first hand how the law can be turned around and work against the innocent. This is an accusation that can destroy a person's life and reputation. I knew I just couldn't trust anyone to hold my future, my life in their hands. Mr. Geller got me through that dark time, allowing me to continue living my life free. That is priceless!

Paul is the best lawyer. He is responsible, and gets the work done well. He quickly got the case rejected as it should be. Don’t think twice, use him. He is great!

We were unfortunate to come across a legal situation over the holidays that required immediate attention. We contacted Paul to see if he could help, and without hesitation, he decided to represent us in resolving this matter. Paul was not only honest with his assessment, but very intelligent, trustworthy and very professional with how he handled the case. He rearranged his schedule to make time for our matter and kept us in the loop with necessary information at every stage. He was very thorough in gathering information to represent our best interests. At the hearing, Paul was able to resolve the matter and reach a resolution that we were hoping for, and probably would not have achieved without his services. I cannot recommend Paul's services enough!! If you or anybody you care about are in a bind, definitely give him a call. I'm grateful that he was there to help us and I can honestly say that if you are ever in need of an attorney, you will not find a better one than Paul.

The best decision I made after being faced with charges was choosing Paul to represent me. He handled every aspect of the case with a high level of attentiveness and genuine care. I was facing difficult charges due to a poor night of decisions but fortunately had a great lawyer that knew the law and courts very well. I am thankful he was involved in helping me reconcile this situation and couldn’t be happier with the results. In short, if you’re looking for highly knowledgeable, professional, attentive and all around well versed lawyer that knows the law, go with Paul.
