Diana is the BEST! She is thorough in her work and executes! She took my case over 3 years ago and has been responsive and helped me with some unexpected things that came up along the way. She was able to appear on my behalf a couple times on a last-minute notice and that really saved me! Olga, her assistant is also a rock-star. Super responsive and always relies over all information needed. They are a great team and I would definitely recommend these amazing women to help assist with your legal matters!!

Diana is amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable and was always available via call or email to answer my questions and mitigate my concerns. Her assistant, Olga, was also extremely helpful as well when Diana couldn't be available, and always helped me schedule a phone call. She showed up on my behalf on several occasions and was able to get me the best possible outcome for my case! I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs legal representation!

Diana and her assistant were extremely professional and prompt in their responses to inquiries and throughout the consultation process. They exhibited excellent professionalism, communication, efficiency with sending documentation digitally, and commitment with a positive outcome.

I want to start off by saying that I’ve made a lot of mistakes retaining the wrong lawyers in the past. I have no doubt in my mind that Aizman law firm has been the absolute best choice I could have made. If you want the A team of law firms standing behind you, Diana and her case manager Olga are the power couple you are looking for. Not once did I feel left hanging on any questions that I had. I am still surprised to to this day on how attentive they both were to my case. This is not a typical law firm. On the day of the arraignment, Diana seemed to be on a friendly basis we everyone in the court. One of the corrections officers even ask her for her business card. I knew from that moment on that I was fine. They are honest, understanding, and trust me when I say that this lawyer is bond for greater achievements. Retain this lawyer while you still can.

I would absolutely recommend the Aizman Law Firm to anyone who required legal representation. Diana and Olga are very accessible, patient and knowledgeable. Their experience and diligence resulted in my case being dismissed.

I am beyond grateful with Mr. Scott Spindel for not only giving me peace of mind but answers to my questions in a time when I felt extremely anxious and overwhelmed. I happened to find him while browsing online and I am so glad that I did!!! He went out of his way to help me and made the necessary phone calls I needed regarding a matter even before knowing whether I would need legal counsel or not. Who do does that?! Scott did!! I hope his efforts don’t go about unnoticed I am truly amazed by how caring and helpful he was with me. I definitely will give him a call if I need an attorney down the road :) & would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you so much Scott!!!

I just posted on Yelp, but I'm so impressed with Scott Spindel I also wanted to post here. Through my company I have worked closely with thousands of attorneys since 2001, and Scott stands out as one of the best. Why? He investigates evidence with a persistence that few attorneys do, he maintains a professional cool in difficult situations, he fights hard for his clients, he is LOVED by the jury (this is very important), and he is super smart about his strategies and tactics with managing matters. I highly recommend Scott to anyone needing an attorney.

When I got my DUI I was in complete disarray. Between my family, business, and future, I was having trouble sleeping due to constant anxiety. Not only was I involved in an accident, but I had an extremely high BAC. Needless to say, I feared the worst. After talking with 3 separate lawyers, I then met with Scott, who after 1 meeting I knew he was the right attorney for me. Not only did Scott manage to keep me out of jail, but he was also able to reduce my alcohol program 9 months to 6 months which is rare for BAC as high as mine was. If you're having concerns, or questions about which attorney you should use, please meet with Scott. I promise you that he'll definitely not disappoint!

Scott will take on any case, even the one's he's not competent in tackling. He cares about money not you, your families, or anyone's well being. He is not a criminal defense attorney he is strictly a DUI attorney. He does nothing but talk than during the trail he has very little to say! It was obvious after two years of working on my case and taking money he never read a single document Trail was embarrassing and I was ultimately sent to prison for a case that I could have done better representing myself. If you have a DUI he can help you. If you have a criminal case I'd go elsewhere

My daughter in law paid $50,000 to this man to defend my son in a gang related murder that my son innocent .Scott promised to have my son home after pre liem and it's 3 yrs later my son still in jail and Scott excused hi imself after pre liem. .was paid $50 .000 to appear 6 times to court ..now we find out there was a 6 yr deal offered he refused and never told us anything HE LEFT US GOING TO TRIAL WITH A COURT APPOINTED ATTORNEY AND WEN I CALLED HIM DESPERATE WITH $3000 TOWARDS TRIAL HE LAUGHED AND SAID HE WOULDNT WAIST GAS FOR TGAT MMMMM. .!

I truly appreciate all the hardwork and dedication Jeremy has done and continues to do on my behalf. I felt like he went above and beyond to get the results I was hoping/looking for! I couldn't be happier with the results and his ability to get the job done. Before him, I wasn't very hopeful that things wouldn't go in my favor but Jeremy saw to that that wouldn't happen. I am extremely happy and grateful that I chose to go with Jeremy. He definitely got the job done and I would definitely recommend him. Thanks again Jeremy! :D

Karpel law genuinely and professionally allowed me to put my life back together. After a worst case scenario. Mr Jeremy assisted me with all the legal transactions not only as a GREAT LAWYER, but as someone I call call a friend. He’s attentiveness on my matters did not go unseen. When I tell you Mr Karpel Law Group is professional and ready to to take on your case is an understatement. I urge anyone reading this to give them a call. You won’t be disappointed. Coming from a great full and happy customer. You will not regret making that call. From myself and my family I thank you Mr Karpel. YOUR THE BEST!!

Kept me informed every step of the way, returned calls and emails promptly, always confident through the process both of us. I made the right decision hiring the Karpel Law Group and the outcome of the case was more then satisfactory, it was more then I hoped for. Jeremy is not practicing Law he is doing it and killing it, I cant thank him enough. Andre Gotanian

During the hardest time in my life I was sitting In la county jail for about 3-4 years facing 6 consecutive life sentences when my attorney passed away , that’s when Jermey Karpel stepped in and took over my case . Thanks to Karpel and his wonderful team he was able to get my charges lowered from 1st degree murder to voluntarily manslaughter, and all 6 of my attempted murder charges dismissed ,to me doing a total of 11 years with 6 years credit .Now after a year of me being released from prison im a productive member of society, full time employment as a supervisor for a construction company , In the process of buying my own house , and a semester away from obtaining my AA degree in psychology. I owe my life and success to Jeremy Karpel and highly recommended him to anyone seeking representation!!!

Highly recommended karpel law group they go above and beyond for there clients , MR karpel is very responsive and professional and make you feel comfortable in stressful situation. Thank you Karpel law group .

I purchased a F150 Raptor and within a few months I began having problems with the engine and oil leaks. I kept taking it to the dealer over and over but the problems continued. My family friend referred me to David for lemon law. He looked at all my service records and just a few weeks later, he got me an offer to get my car bought back by Ford. I highly recommend David as a lemon law lawyer.

My new Bentley Bentayga had a brake failure while driving on the freeway. My family friend referred me to David. He was able to get my car repurchased and got me all my money back and I didn't have to pay anything out of pocket.

David is very professional attorney, i am very happy that he handled my accident case and i highly recommend him.

I was involved in a car accident and was looking for a personal injury lawyer in Encino. One of my family friends recommended David and said that they worked with him on a car accident case and hired him as their attorney. I was very happy with David's professionalism and level of care. He communicated with me regarding every detail of my car accident case and I am so happy I hired him as my attorney to represent me.

David's knowledge and professionalism is immediately obvious from the very first time you meet with him. I met David to discuss a traffic violation I had and he walked me through the whole process, explaining every step of the case and making sure I understood what was going on. Also, not only did he answer his phone every single time I called (and I called a lot!) to ask him a question, but he called me multiple times to fill me in and update me as well. If you are looking for a competent, professional attorney to handle your case, give David a call. Thanks, David!

Jeff Vallen is one of a kind lawyer with integrity. He is competent, expert in his field and delivers results. I hundred percent recommend him. You will have a great experience hiring him.

In all the years I have known Jeffrey S. Vallens , I have found him to be a very knowledgeable and superb lawyer. I have referred numerous clients to Jeff for the handling of their cases. They advised me that they were satisfied with his services and he was there for them and was sympathetic and kept them updated and informed about their case.

Finding a lawyer can be a daunting and scary task, but Mr Vallens, made the whole process as simple and painless as possible. He works hard for you, he always responds promptly, he is fairly priced, he is direct, focused and most importantly, trustworthy. I highly recommend him as a representative and an advocate.

Jeff Vallens is a smart, experienced, capable attorney who always works in his clients best interests. In my view he is wise beyond his years and one could not go wrong being represented by Jeff.

Mr. Vallens is an amazing attorney. The first meeting with him I was blown away by his compassion. Your fight is his fight. You are in his best interest and he really becomes one with your case. He’s not in it for the money he is in it for what is right. With that being said you should contact him if for whatever reason you end up in a situation where you need a lawyer. He’s honest straight to the point and most importantly calm, cool, and collective.. which is what anyone needs if they are facing such circumstances. A++. He changed my life and I am unconditionally greatful. He’s the smartest man I’ve ever met and am honored to say that I’ve even met him! Thank you Mr. Vallens for your upstanding attentive work, one of a kind.

I am beyond grateful with Mr. Scott Spindel for not only giving me peace of mind but answers to my questions in a time when I felt extremely anxious and overwhelmed. I happened to find him while browsing online and I am so glad that I did!!! He went out of his way to help me and made the necessary phone calls I needed regarding a matter even before knowing whether I would need legal counsel or not. Who do does that?! Scott did!! I hope his efforts don’t go about unnoticed I am truly amazed by how caring and helpful he was with me. I definitely will give him a call if I need an attorney down the road :) & would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you so much Scott!!!

I just posted on Yelp, but I'm so impressed with Scott Spindel I also wanted to post here. Through my company I have worked closely with thousands of attorneys since 2001, and Scott stands out as one of the best. Why? He investigates evidence with a persistence that few attorneys do, he maintains a professional cool in difficult situations, he fights hard for his clients, he is LOVED by the jury (this is very important), and he is super smart about his strategies and tactics with managing matters. I highly recommend Scott to anyone needing an attorney.

When I got my DUI I was in complete disarray. Between my family, business, and future, I was having trouble sleeping due to constant anxiety. Not only was I involved in an accident, but I had an extremely high BAC. Needless to say, I feared the worst. After talking with 3 separate lawyers, I then met with Scott, who after 1 meeting I knew he was the right attorney for me. Not only did Scott manage to keep me out of jail, but he was also able to reduce my alcohol program 9 months to 6 months which is rare for BAC as high as mine was. If you're having concerns, or questions about which attorney you should use, please meet with Scott. I promise you that he'll definitely not disappoint!

Scott will take on any case, even the one's he's not competent in tackling. He cares about money not you, your families, or anyone's well being. He is not a criminal defense attorney he is strictly a DUI attorney. He does nothing but talk than during the trail he has very little to say! It was obvious after two years of working on my case and taking money he never read a single document Trail was embarrassing and I was ultimately sent to prison for a case that I could have done better representing myself. If you have a DUI he can help you. If you have a criminal case I'd go elsewhere

My daughter in law paid $50,000 to this man to defend my son in a gang related murder that my son innocent .Scott promised to have my son home after pre liem and it's 3 yrs later my son still in jail and Scott excused hi imself after pre liem. .was paid $50 .000 to appear 6 times to court ..now we find out there was a 6 yr deal offered he refused and never told us anything HE LEFT US GOING TO TRIAL WITH A COURT APPOINTED ATTORNEY AND WEN I CALLED HIM DESPERATE WITH $3000 TOWARDS TRIAL HE LAUGHED AND SAID HE WOULDNT WAIST GAS FOR TGAT MMMMM. .!

I am so happy I found him to help my family and me. Takes time to give you a free consultation and walk you through the whole process. The advice and information he gave me were priceless. Very responsive in answering all of my questions, giving me peace of mind, and a firm idea as to what we were facing in Van Nuys Court and how he would overcome the challenges. He will answer all phone calls within the same day. I must say his assistant Tania is awesome. The Law Offices of David Chesley are fantastic in Court and get you excellent results you can be pleased and content with. No stress and hassle-free.

We prayed to God for solutions to our legal problem, and we were led to the Law Offices of David Chesley. From my first call I made to his office, I felt a sigh of relief. To my surprise, he picked up the phone even on the weekend. David is super responsive, answered all of my questions, was informative and went straight to the point when speaking about the Judge, the system, and the district attorney assigned to the case, all of whom he knew firsthand. Speaking with him gave me a great deal of confidence that the matter would be resolved in our favor and the charges would be dismissed. This was my first time needing a criminal defense attorney, and everything was explained in a way I could understand. David is a very skilled and experienced Sherman Oaks criminal lawyer and is by far the top attorney in the state of California when it comes to knowledgeable, professional, and aggressive legal representation. At the Van Nuys courthouse, he worked quickly to gather as many details as possible and presented them at the hearing which allowed my son to be released bail free. At a later court date, he was able to achieve an outcome that exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Mr. Chesley, and please thank Tania for us as well, for all of your hard work and dedication to the case.

Mr. Chesley is an excellent Sherman Oaks criminal defense lawyer. Very knowledgeable and very professional, and able to answer all my legal questions. The Law Offices of David Chesley understand the seriousness and collateral consequences of a criminal conviction. When it came time for my trial, I felt like I had the A team behind me! Wonderful experience at this law firm, and a tremendous outcome. I feel a boost in confidence and a decrease in stress after working with this law firm. They were responsive, communicated well with me, the Judge, and the District Attorney in Court. All this while saving me a ton of money. The legal team here in Sherman Oaks really know the system. I can’t say enough good things about David and his staff. Thank you, David!

My son was arrested and needed to be bailed out of jail. When duty called, David was the best lawyer out there, responsible, always kept me informed. The Law Offices of David Chesley helped us out in a tough situation. I am very thankful, and would recommend his service. David and Sandy were there day and night when I needed them most! They have a good staff that handles the admin work. I would suggest going to Chesley law for anybody who is in the same boat I was in.

David is not only a prominent and well-respected criminal defense attorney in Sherman Oaks, he is also very focused on the needs of his clients. David was aware we needed the best representation, but we were concerned about the cost of hiring a private defense lawyer. David was very efficient and tried to keep costs down as much as possible while providing the stern and forceful representation we required. I've dealt with other criminal law attorneys in Los Angeles before that, while also effective, didn't mind running up the billable hours. David’s not like that. He works on a sliding scale and is willing to adjust his rates based on the economic status of his clients. Classy guy and effective advocate. I highly recommend him.

When I went to Leah, I was facing 2 weapon violations which were 3 years in County jail for one, and the other was 3 years in State Prison which was 6 total years for the combined charges. Leah managed to get 1 charged dropped which was possession of a silencer in CA. and the other charge was reduced to JUST probation for two years and NO JAIL TIME!! I will also have to do some classes a few days a week but the idea of not being in jail is a true God send! This Law Firm is just incredible and I would suggest them to anyone who needs a top notch Criminal Defense Team. I thank God for leading me to Leah and her team! Thank you soooo much Leah for what you did for me!

Ms. Naparstek is the epidemy of professionalism. We found her last minute for a case, she was accommodating, follow through every step of the way and always had the most fluid communication at a reasonable price. If you need an attorney look no further, Leah is the lawyer for you. She does not rest until she gets you the best results possible.

Leah is a reliable, dedicated, caring, and responsive lawyer who I would highly recommend. Her dedication to her craft and communication is outstanding. Leah helped my father to minimal jail time and got his license back asap. Overall, just a great advocate to have in our corner.

Leah will not give up until you have the best situation for you. She fought for my case through and through and despite the situations I had, she was able to come up with an awesome deal. Thank you so much Leah!

She cares about her clients, and her firm doesn't treat you like you're some criminal and actually listens to what you have to say so they can work out the best possible outcome, whatever the situation you may fine yourself caught up in. I just hope I won't be needing any more legal services anymore.
