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.
Review
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.
Review
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.

Glad to see there are so many good comments. I hope they are really coming from the great jobs and not a result of deal. They are not treated like me: take the money and could not work like an attorney. I knew the other party conducts like a gangster. However, in my opinion. a real good attorney should work ethically under all the situations, including facing the pressure of power and money.
Review
My experience with Mr. Beles and his law firm was nothing but positive. They were extremely professional and courteous. There was a time when I did not want to move forward with my case because of personal and family issues. Bob and Manisha repeatedly urged me to go forward because they were confident they could help me. After a time, due to their persistence I decided to go ahead and as a result my case was successful! Thank you everyone at Beles and Beles from the bottom of my heart for not giving up on me. I have contacted Mr. Beles from time to time after my case was settled and he has always been helpful. Thank you so much!
Review
Manisha was absolutely amazing. I was a little worried that my hopes were too high, but Beles and Beles came through in a big way. Extremely Satisfied with their help.
Review
I've had Robert and his daughter as my lawyers a few times. They both are good people and are very good at what they do. The only problem I have is when the case is over in their eyes you can't reach any of them if you need something. With my last case being dropped I need a clear copy of the property the police took,the carbon copy is so bad you can hardly read it. The officer told me only my lawyer can request a better copy. So I've been trying to reach Robert for close to a month now and all I can get is a he's not in the office,or he said he will call you back,which never happens. And that's the only thing I truly dislike about the firm.
Review
I was in prison for 27 years on a murder charge. I stayed strong and hoped that one day I'd find a good attorney to get me out. Robert, Annie Beles and Joe Ryan delivered on that promise and now im a free man. This firm is the best. 5 stars all the way. Its all good.

Attorney Jeffrey Kaloustian was easy to get a hold of and very helpful. I loved that he was detailed in how the process would go and used language I could understand. I hope not to have to use an attorney again but if I do I'll call him back.
Review
Jeff has been incredibly helpful throughout my case. He was punctual, very knowledgeable, professional and kept all information about the case confidential. He worked on my case all around the clock and was able to get my case expunged. I’m not saying he will get all cases dismissed, but he’ll do his best and look at all angles to present the best case scenario for his clients. He goes above and beyond, as a client I couldn’t ask for anything more than that. I’ve personally recommended Jeff to several of my friends and family members and I would recommend him to anyone who looking for a lawyer that handles criminal and personal injury cases. He took care of me and my family, I know he’ll do the same for you. Thank you Jeff!
Review
In short, Jeffrey was amazing to work with and he would be my first choice should I need legal counsel again. I don’t have much experience with attorneys and the exposure I did have was with my family’s representation in the past. He had since moved on to become a judge and I needed new counsel for a 3-pronged expungement case. I was looking for someone that felt trustworthy and able to communicate promptly AND in a way I’d be able to understand. I’m happy to report that he established trust and demonstrated amazing communication skills right off the bat. It really felt like he would fight for me. He would follow up regularly and was always encouraging and supportive. That was also important to me, as I do get kind of anxious. Personal skills aside, we were able to resolve my legal issues 3 for 3. So with me he bats 100. Jeffrey is smart, knowledgeable and experienced with the courts, attorneys and judges in the Bay Area. He has the credentials, he’s very easy to talk to, very kind and really provided me a great value. To Jeff, thank you so much for the hard work you do and to anyone else, I’d highly recommend giving him a call. -Michael

I would highly recommend Lamano Law Office if you have received a DUI. All these ladies were very pleasant, compassionate, and very informative during my 1+ year long process. I never felt uncomfortable speaking with them like I have other attorneys! Thank you for assisting me in my matter!
Review
I've seen first hand how this law firm works, and they are the best. Not just because they care, which they truly do, but because they are very passionate at what they do. They treat their clients with patience, respect and courtesy during their stressful situations and go the extra mile to do what they can for them.
Review
I cannot say enough good things about this office. They were prompt, informational and extremely professional. I sought numerous opinions and they were the clear option. They handled the whole process from beginning to end and were very thorough in helping me understand each step. Hands down the best law firm I have ever worked with. I will never seek legal services from any other office! Worth every penny!
Review
I hired another attorney initially who filled me with fear, dread, and a sense of hopelessness about my situation. I hired them out of that sense of fear they instilled, then I felt like I was ignored after paying their retainer. After that I contacted Givelle with Lamano Law and had the completely opposite experience—she made me feel listened to, cared about, and in safe, competent hands. I can’t recommend Givelle and Lamano Law enough—professional attorneys who also care deeply about making you feel hopeful and empowered about your case and future. ????
Review
I would like to recommend Lamano Law office to anyone who is having some legal difficulties. They are so professional and responsive. When I called the very first time I was greeted and taken care of by Givelle. She was very informative, courteous and professional. My case was assigned to Manjula Martin who worked hard for the best outcome for me. My gratitude for you ladies and also to Paulina Maldonado who was always in contact with me keeping me informed on everything. Overall my experience with Lamano Law was nothing less than oustanding. Thank you!!

No one needs to be in trouble with the law, but my first time messing up. So glad I found Robbi, she's the best there is, when it comes to putting the client's best interest first. Very patient, took the time to explain the possible outcomes. Calls it as it is, if it's a long shot then still gave me the choice. Truly professional and courteous inside and outside the courtroom. Once we agreed on an approach, she stayed the course to achieve the best possible outcome. Absolutely grateful and highly recommend her (with 6+ stars, out of 5).
Review
Even though the domestic violence charges against my husband were dismissed by the DA and we weren’t able to retain Robbi’s legal services, she was so knowledgeable, helpful and polite. Robbi went out of her way to contact the various departments to see where my husband was and let me know and she didn’t charge me anything. If ever I need a criminal defense attorney Robbi will definitely be the attorney I would call. Thank you so much Robbi!!!!
Review
Attorney Robbi Cook is a very professional attorney. She was honest and fair and did not try to take advantage of my desperate situation. She kept me advised every step of the way. (My son got arrested in Oakland while visiting... I live in Texas). I interviewed about 3 other attorneys and as a mother I went with my gut feeling, despite all 3 attorneys having the same great reviews. I am not much of a writing reviews but I do read other reviews and that is what helped me find her. Have no doubt Robbi Cook gives results we all want went seeking an attorney. She was so on top of the case and always kept me informed. Robbi went above and beyond by texting me and letting me know what was happening with my son's case...Robbi also, gave me the news the case was dismissed and my son is back in Texas. I do have to call back in January but that is because I want to make sure. She is awesome!!!

Review
I had been advised by an award-winning trial defense lawyer to get in touch with Thomas Maas, who I was told was the "800 Pound Gorilla" in his area. Best of the best. The nickname proved to be accurate for my case. Maas Law Offices effectively prove innocence, they stay in front of every second-to-second situation in the courtroom. When it's crucial that you're in the right defense attorney's hands, this is who you need to retain. Thomas worked well beyond his contract to defend me... he turned out to be exactly who I hoped deep down my representation would be. In short terms, words that can be used to describe Thomas and Maas Associates are: intelligent, quick, sharp, strictly business, high-caliber legal defense. If you need someone to prove it, call Thomas Maas. I would trust any loved one with him as the best defense attorney that one can have. It doesn't matter what your situation... if you have Maas Associates representing you in court, you will get the best outcome that your case could ever have. Thomas was effectively able to masterfully navigate the courts and professionally prove all the points that I wished everyone in the courtroom knew. If you have Thomas Maas as your representation, you can rest assured that you have the most effective defense attorney possible.
