Our 18 year old son was cited a 11357(b) ticket for possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana and was facing losing his driver's license for 1 year as well as the fine, penalty assessments and court costs. We hired Jessica to represent our son and the outcome was an excellent, superior result! The whole process could not have gone any smoother for us nor the outcome any greater. We can't thank you enough Jessica, we know you had to work hard in order to reach the dismissal of our son's charge. You are a fighter and truly dedicated to your profession. Unsure of the exact course of action we should take, we started looking for a lawyer who specialized in cases like ours and we found Jessica. Jessica was a breath of fresh air in the lawyers we interviewed. She was pleasant, all business, with a no nonsense approach to strategies we could take. We explained our concerns about the impact this citation would have on our son’s future endeavors and she recommended several strategies that we could use to mitigate the most severe results. While the strategy chosen was actually the riskiest and most complex, that path resulted in a dismissal of the charge, no impact to his ability to drive to his job and college, and no impact to his ability to freely apply to any college or for any college funding. Our son was required to attend several programs that exposed him to the hazards and consequences of his behavior and time to reflect on his actions before the dismissal was reached. Jessica’s calm demeanor and down to earth approach, proactive communication and personal availability enabled us to get through this stressful time. We highly recommend Jessica if you face a similar or even more complex legal situation.

Much to my dismay, my husband's foray into the world of medical marijuana resulted in a desperate need for an attorney. I found Jessica McElfresh on the NORML website and, from the first phone call, found her to be direct and knowledgeable. We interviewed several lawyers and I ended up retaining her as my attorney. I am SO thankful that I did. She spent a lot of time on my case, collected her own evidence, managed a very difficult witness, and worked to get a deal that will result in a total dismissal of all the charges. She responded to emails nearly instantaneously - even after hours - and telephone calls in less than an hour. I also felt like she always gave me a fair assessment of how the case was progressing and what I could expect. She answered any question I had, even if it were only peripherally related to the case and researched some other issues I was also concerned about. My husband ended up working with two other attorneys, both of whom had more experience and were more expensive. Unfortunately, those two things did not guarantee a better attorney. In comparison, she was clearly the most knowledgeable about our case and the laws surrounding it, the easiest to contact, the most organized, and a real workhorse. She is confident in her skills and will aggressively fight (which might not be apparent just meeting her one-on-one - have no doubt, she's a fighter). If you find yourself in need of a criminal attorney, I'd say look no further - she turns all those bad lawyer stereotypes on their head!

I've know Jessica for 6 years. In that time she has represented me in wide array of scenarios. Jessica routinely contacts me to see how both myself and my family are doing. Additionally, she is very up to date on trends, laws and legislation that can improve your legal situation. Jessica really stood by me and my family through some stressful times for several years. I will always be grateful for this.

Jennifer is a highly-skilled and knowledgeable criminal defense attorney. As a former public defender, she is well-versed in interacting with opposing counsel (the District or City Attorney's Office) to obtain the best outcomes for her clients. The compassion and dedication she has for her clients and promoting equal access to justice is next level. Jennifer is particularly known in the legal community for her honest and holistic representation. She is always concerned with more than just doing the "legal work" for her clients - she also goes out of her way to regularly keep them, and concerned family members, informed of every aspect of their case so they feel empowered and can make informed decisions as it progresses; she ensures they are aware of other resources and options (legal and non-legal) that can be helpful to them while their case is pending, so as to ensure the greatest likelihood of success; and she often comes up with creative solutions to achieve her clients' goals and give them the best result possible. I often refer my clients with criminal matters to Jennifer because of her outstanding reputation, broad experience, kind-hearted demeanor and for her solid, experienced advocacy in the courtroom. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney who truly cares about YOU, Jennifer is the one you want.

Jennifer is an incredible lawyer who is devoted to helping her clients and will do only what is best for them. While tirelessly fighting for her clients she will also help them navigate out of a difficult situation. The prices charged by Jennifer are extremely reasonable and do not really reflect the effort and time she spends on a case. If you are looking for an attorney in the San Diego area I would strongly recommend contacting Jennifer.

Mr. William Christoph, as others have attested to before, is an exceedingly hardworking, responsive, and kind man. I came to his office, after receiving a DUI, like a deer in headlights; I was completely overwhelmed by the entire situation and felt completely paralyzed as what to do or what would happen from here. I knew within about 5 minutes of our meeting that it only made sense to hire him. It became obvious that he has a plethora of knowledge and experience in this arena and I’m so glad I engaged his business. He walked me through every step of the way and made sure I received proper credit and recognition, from the DA, for all that I was doing to change my life. Truly thankful for him!

If you need an attorney to fight for your freedom, Nick Christoph is the guy. From the moment I spoke with Nick, he was understanding of my situation and he clearly laid out an action plan. He has direct and gave it to me straight. he made it clear and I understood all the possibilities the DA could have taken against me. I was scared for my freedom and my future. With my case, he told me what he could do right then and there on the first consultation. I never thought I would be in a situation in my lifetime needing a criminal defense attorney. I was very fortunate that I found Nick and he delivered. He became my HERO. Because of Nick's hard work and most importantly, his extensive knowledge and understanding of the criminal system. My charge was dropped.I was looking at possible jail time and suspension of my state license. Nick gave me my life back. Javier A.

Nick cleared up and old case that had been on my record for decades. Literally. For years the only way I was told I could deal with it was to fly across the country and take a few months out of my life to get it resolved. Nick was transparent, honest and no nonsense. I never left my home state and he dug up the original case and had the case expunged. I couldn't have hoped for a better outcome. Highly recommend this firm.

I would have done better with a public defender. Drugs found in a car not registered to me a mile away from my house. The owner was doing bank robberies with that truck but during trial, he didn't even mention it to the jury. Paid him for fingerprint expert, but I didn't see a fingerprint expert. Plus I had 2 cases that I had to pay him separate for and he consolidated them. So the jury heard evidence from both cases. He is OK if you only want a deal but not for trial. 14 years at 80% for sales case

Got into trouble with an ex-girlfriend of mine. I was in a very anxious and stressed out state. After calling several different criminal law defense firms in San Diego, I settled on RJT. From the moment I called they gave me something that no other lawyer was able to do, and that was to give me peace of mind. I liked how they were honest and upfront with me from the start until the end. They are vigilant with their work. They worked with me from my arraignment, to going to court dates on my behalf and finally after probation they helped me to get my case expunged. Ryan gave me his personal cell phone number and he has always been there to answer my calls and any questions I had. My case was dropped from a felony to a misdemeanor and now expunged. Every case is different, but I am 100% positive that RJT can help each and every one of their clients to the best of their abilities which was phenomenal from my experience. A++

One thing that no-one tells you is that car accident insurance claims drag on for months, sometimes they can take more than a year to resolve! A friend of mine was in a car accident recently so I knew how long it would take and decided to hunt for a lawyer who I would be happy to deal with for that long. Lucky I did because my case took eight months from my first consultation! After meeting Brad Nakase and his team, I knew they were the right legal team for me. Brad Nakase is a thoughtful and witty man, he treated me with the utmost respect and compassion at all times, and I felt like I was meeting a friend rather than a lawyer. My calls and emails were answered quickly throughout the whole process, something that should be a given, but usually isn’t! The insurance company dragged their heels and used some really dirty tactics in my case, but I was not nervous for a single second. I knew that Brad Nakase would get the very best results he could. In the end he had to take them to court. Even though it was clear he did everything he could to come to a quick and satisfactory solution, Brad Nakase was clearly unafraid to take the insurance company to court. It is easy to see why, he is a very skilled litigator, I’m so glad he was on my team rather than against me!

Brad Nakase is a true community man, talking to him is just like chatting to your neighbor. He is funny, super intelligent, and a force of nature in court. He truly listens to you, which is something most attorneys cannot do. At times I feel like he understood my injuries better than I did! Unfortunately after my car accident, we had to take the insurance company to court, they were stubborn in denying my claim, but Brad Nakase was more stubborn! The results of my case were better than I ever could hope for. Brad Nakase is the only lawyer I have ever felt like I could trust implicitly. He really speaks to you on your level instead of being condescending or drowning things in legal jargon. I had spoken to another employment lawyer before him but within 5 mins of my consultation with Brad Nakase I knew that he was the right man for the job. He gave me detailed information and answered every single question I had. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and if he couldn’t take my call, I received an email right away to explain why he was busy and schedule a time to speak. I cannot recommend Nakase Accident Attorneys and Employment Lawyers highly enough; Brad Nakase is a new breed of lawyer who actually cares.
