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).

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!!!!

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!!!

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!

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.

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!

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. ????

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!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

Jeff helped a co-worker navigate his way back to driving & helped me finally get answers the bureaucratic red tape would not. Thank you sir!

I have retained Jeffrey a couple times for different legal issues. Each time he took his time and achieved the best outcome on each issue. I highly recommend him if your looking for a lawyer who will take there time and put in the work necessary to resolve the issue at hand.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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. ????

    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!!

Marcia is compassionate, empathetic and by far, the most diligent lawyer I've had the fortune of meeting. I was facing a five-year minimum after federal agents burst through my door and raided my house. Marcia not only helped navigate me through the legal process.. but all three counts were dropped and she couldn't have handled it more gracefully. She's honest, knowledgeable and if you're in a bind, Marcia Silver is the best available solution.

Marcia was recommended to my by a trusted friend for a complicated matter that I had gotten myself into. She took the time to hear the entire story, didn’t cut me off during the winded explanation which allowed me to see that she wants every single detail regardless of I find it necessary or not. She was thorough in every branch of the possible outcome and covering all bases. I felt like she was representing me as one of her kids, and we know that motherly protection is simply bar none! After the initial meeting, she was easy to reach, always willing to go over any questions I may have, and she respected the fact that I cared about her time as well so the level of communication was wonderful and concise! I would recommend anyone who thinks they’re in any situation to hire Marcia. She will not pretend as if she knows if she isn’t 10000% sure. Marcia will dig deep and do whatever it takes to get the information needed to endure a positive outcome of the situation. Her ability to succeed at what she does is a testament to her genuine care for you! I would recommend Marcia to anyone and everyone!

Marcia was a complete godsend! Our little nephew's school wanted to expel him without very much evidence, and we were, the least to say, at a loss. Marcia helped our family through the complexities of a stipulated expulsion agreement. I cannot stress to everyone how competent and experienced Marcia is. She asks great questions and has a tremendous amount of experience. That is a great combination! She is worth every single penny and more. Thanks Marcia. Our family sleeps better at night because of you!

Marcia came highly recommended for me to retain as my lawyer and I'm so happy I went ahead and did. I had a very complicated case and was extremely nervous of the outcome, but Marcia fought hard and got my case dismissed! Not only does she fight hard for you, but she always makes sure you understand what is going on and what her strategy is so you won't feel left out wondering. She genuinely cares about your mental health and how you're dealing with the case, along with always being accessible to you. She's extremely down to earth so you immediately feel comfortable. I would high recommend her services to anyone looking for an attentive, empathetic and hard fighting lawyer!

Marcia was able to help me out with a complicated case, which lead to a swift and easy verdict in my favor. She was profesional, empathetic, attentive, and most importantly proficient. I highly recommend Marcia Silver. Thank You!

I had a terrific experience working with Adam and his team. He was incredibly attentive, warm in nature, very knowledgeable and understanding, and he took the time to explain everything to me until I understood fully. I deeply appreciated how honest he was about the details, potential outcomes, and even his own expertise in my case. I found him to be trustworthy and he had a good follow through. I felt legally protected and that he was giving me sound advice and instructions. Because of Adam, I was successful in my situation, had a positive experience, and have a good path going forward. I strongly recommend Adam for whatever your legal needs may be.

We had a complicated case of extradition from UK to USA. We needed a good attorney who understood our case and give us best advice possible (with regards to wire/bank/credit card fraud cases). I found Adam Gasner online and from there on our case became a lot clearer and resolvable. From the moment I contacted to the end result, Adam have been very informative and attentive. He was always on hand to answer any queries/worries we had. We were very very happy with the outcome of our case and finally my husband has reunited with us. He represented my husband really well (I don't think anyone could have done it better), he put forward all points of the case with our benefit in mind. He kept us informed throughout of the case. We have been very lucky to have found Adam, he is a blessing in disguise. Thank you Adam for all your hard work. You very much deserve all the stars.

Adam was amazing! I would definitely recommend

The team went above and beyond to assist with our problem and we couldn't be more satisfied with their care and attention.

I never imagined I would be in a situation where I needed a lawyer, but when I did I did not know the first place to start. I asked around and a friend recommended Adam. From the first time we met to discuss my case, Adam was the consummate professional. He explained the process, gave me piece of mind, and was available any time I needed reassurance or guidance. We even kept in contact by text a lot as I went through the process, which I preferred over emails / phone calls. I can tell you without a single doubt in my mind that Adam will go to bat for you and make sure your case has the very best possible outcome. I truly felt like a valued client and not like "just another case." Adam even worked with a PI to gather evidence, meticulously documenting facts, which helped tremendously. He is at the top of his game and worth every penny!! If you are ever in need of legal services, I recommend contacting him first!!
