I searched for a top rated criminal attorney close to our house (as I knew we would need to see them several times) for my husband, who was charged with a felony. Debra's information came up and I contacted her after reading her website and bio. Upon speaking with her, it was obvious to me that we needed to meet with her in person, she was genuine, sincere and really seemed to want to discuss the case in more detail to see how she could help. When we met with her, she advised how we should proceed, what the defense would cost us and the next steps in the case. She was honest and direct right from the start. Debra was professional, experienced and knowledgeable regarding the charges in the case. She sat with us, in our initial meeting, for about an hour taking notes and talking through strategy in order to devise the best defense possible. With my husband's past criminal record, the case was going to be a challenge to win and Debra put forth every effort to get us the best possible outcome and she succeeded; the case ended with a dismissal. She also found that one of his past felony charges could be reduced to a misdemeanor, which she filed the proper paperwork for, as part of the current case. Debra is an awesome attorney, a super smart lady and, as my husband put it, a "Varsity Allstar!" We can't say enough good things about Debra. We would recommend Debra to anyone who found themselves in need of a good criminal attorney.

I was falsely accused of kidnapping and rape, and faced spending the rest of my life in prison. From the first time that I contacted Debra, I knew that she believed in my case and would do her absolute best in protecting me. She is an excellent lawyer, and an even better person. Debra is so hardworking and humble, and does not seek glory like many other lawyers. She is honest and compassionate. Debra truly has a heart of gold. She has an amazing life story, and I believe that helps her connect with all kinds of people (especially jurors) and deal with extreme adversity. Debra analyzed my complicated case at so many levels and from so many angles. She is an outstanding strategist. Debra focused on what was most important to the jury and used the prosecutor's aggression and deception against him. Her preparation on our case was more than I could have imagined. I thought about the case day and night, and Debra would frequently communicate with me and introduce ideas and issues that did not even enter my mind. Her emphasis on integrity and character has inspired me to be a better man. While the stakes of this trial were extremely high, I never lost my trust in Debra. Our jury deliberated for three hours before finding me Not Guilty on all charges! Whenever I think about Debra and the case, I get a big smile on my face and my heart is still doing somersaults. Tell the truth to Debra, and she will set you free!

I highly recommend hiring Debra Sarah White. She is by far one of the best criminal attorneys out there. I know this from personal experience and having worked closely with the Government and criminal defense attorneys for more than 20 years. Debra’s knowledge and insight of both life and law make her an exceptional and effective criminal defense lawyer. I have known her to win unbeatable cases and help clients through life-altering, difficult situations. She is also straightforward, easy to talk to, and is unrelenting in her advocacy. For anyone accused of a crime, hiring Debra White will be one of the best decisions you can make.

We were lost. Accused of a felony even though it was just an accident. Debra not only got the charges dropped, but she also knew how to clear it from the record. Her wisdom and tenacity turned out to be more than I could have hoped for. The court told us that we had a great attorney, and I certainly agree. She is really sharp and compassionate.

Debra White is an outstanding, ethical and dedicated criminal defense attorney with excellent legal skills.  She is tenacious, hardworking, honest and cares about her clients and their families.  She's is the best of the best. At the preliminary hearing she proved my case was a miscarriage of justice and all charges were dismissed. My family and I highly recommend her.  Thank you!

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 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!

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 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

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!!!

Fine federal criminal defense lawyer and all around experience. Very knowledgeable and takes the time and effort to properly advise of details of a case. This is especially appreciated in complicated business relate criminal law in federal court. Definitely would recommend Mr. Berlin

Professional, diligent and responsible. Stands from many other criminal defense lawyers I contacted in Los Angeles. Recommend.

There are a ton of criminal defense attorneys in Los Angeles to contact. After speaking to a few, I am sure glad I contacted Peter Berlin. He was very diligent and had a calming approach that put me at least at some ease. The communication was first rate and there was no high pressure gimmicks or sale. Good criminal defense attorney that I would recommend.

Peter is incredibly knowledgeable and diligent. He is reassuring and yet knows not to promise more than he is sure he can deliver in a given situation. He is easily accessible throughout any process, and even if he is needed at any time in the future. You know you're in the best possible hands as his client, and you can feel secure knowing you've made the right choice.

Very pleased with Mr. Berlin. Very experienced and knowledgeable and eased our minds. A fine Los Angeles criminal defense attorney and I can highly recommend his services and representation. Diligent.

    There are a ton of criminal defense attorneys in Los Angeles to contact. After speaking to a few, I am sure glad I contacted Peter Berlin. He was very diligent and had a calming approach that put me at least at some ease. The communication was first rate and there was no high pressure gimmicks or sale. Good criminal defense attorney that I would recommend.

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.

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.

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++.

We hired Steve Cron and he went above and beyond for me!!! I am extremely glad my family found him for me. I was in the worst mess possible and my family looked for lawyers all throughout SoCal and they decided to hire Steve because of his experience and record. He did an amazing job representing me for 3 years. He was very professional, punctual, intelligent, and hard-working. He was a godsend! And, fought for me better than I could have imagined...Steve is semi-retired now but I know he represented the service you receive when hiring this firm... Hire them! You won’t regret it! They will fight for you! Words cannot describe how thankful I am towards Steve and the firm. It was one of the best decisions of my life. And I hate writing reviews but I definitely had to mention something about this firm! 5 stars is not enough. I wish I could give them more!

Could not be more thankful to have come across this firm. Mr. Stark went above and beyond to assist us when we needed expertise regarding a legal matter. Would highly recommend this firm for all matters large or small.

Sam Israels was incredible, and I honestly wish I had him on retainer way earlier in life. Very organized, punctual, solid communicator. I would gladly refer business his way if I have any friends with legal issues of any sort. He assisted me every step of the way and followed his words with action. Thanks again! Eric Spivak

Defense attorney Steven Cron. Thank you so much for your legal defense services. If it wasn’t for your vast legal experience, I don’t know where I would be. I wish you and the law firm the best of success.

Chris did a wonderful job helping me with my multiple cases! His service was quick and was communicative every step of the way. I've already recommended him to a relative and will continue to do so for anyone looking for his service!

I was fortunate to have been referred to Chris Blaylock by my attorney to help me file a motion to to the court on my behalf. Chris was very informative during the consultation about what it would take to get this filed and the timeframe it would take. I did not hesitate that I had to go with Chris for my case. With Chris' hard work we were able to get this motion granted within 5 months in early 2021 during COVID. I believe Chris delivered on his promises and he was very communicative throughout the process by keeping me updated at every step. I had a good feeling from the beginning that Chris would take good care of my case and I am very happy that we found Mr. Blaylock. I will definitely keep Mr. Blaylock on my attorney recommendations to my friends and family as he is a great attorney! Thanks for everything Chris!

It was a pleasure working with Mr. Blaylock and his law firm. He was honest, professional and extremely communicative. He worked hard on my case to ensure the best possible outcome for my best interest. I highly recommend him.

I almost never write reviews. I think good service should be a given. So it takes a really exceptional experience to compel me to want to spread the word. The hard part was finding Chris Blaylock... the rest was blissfully simple. I had to go through the painful process of contacting more than a dozen law firms and leaving messages, emailing, waiting for return calls / emails, finally getting on the phone, explaining the situation, only to be handed off to someone else at the firm who would finally get back to me, etc etc etc, only to find out that the person had attitude, or was disinterested in helping us with our situation, or wanted an unreasonably large retainer up front, etc. When I finally came across Mr. Blaylock's profile (I can't even remember where), his reviews were stellar so I reached out. He was back in touch almost immediately. I explained the situation, he asked a few questions, and then gave me what was by all measures, a very reasonable cost to handle the situation. And when I say "handle the situation", I literally mean he took it completely off our plate. Never once did I feel the need to follow up, because he promised us he'd be in touch whenever there was an update, and true to his word - he was. From that first phone call, until we received his email just yesterday stating "case dismissed", it was honestly the easiest and most effortless business relationship I've ever experienced. On top of that, there was no fluff... no big over-generalized promises, no salesmanship, nothing. Just his unvarnished perspective, and a realistic range of outcomes, setting realistic expectations. I distinctly remember when I originally came across his profile thinking that it wasn't particularly flashy, and I wondered at the time if that meant that I wouldn't get the "best" legal service one could get. Chris was just as unassuming as his online profile was - but what we ended up getting was someone who didn't need the "flash" to communicate his abilities. He understood - and could easily communicate in layman's terms - the law regarding our situation. He knew nearly everyone's name in the legal system that we'd be dealing with, and he was just effortlessly professional. Honest to god, the best experience we've had. I could go on and on, but I'm hopeful that this review will save others the time and effort of going through the needless process of interviewing dozens of attorneys to find not just a good one - but the very best one you could hope to have. Because the "best" attorney isn't just someone with an outstanding command of the law and the legal system, but also someone who naturally knows how to handle the client relationship with integrity and ease - and Chris Blaylock is all of that wrapped up in one attorney. This is why I was compelled to do what I don't usually do - and write this review. And I give my word that this review wasn't predicated upon a certain outcome - it is entirely based on the experience. He let us know up front that there were a range of outcomes, and he managed our expectations appropriately and with integrity. It just so happens that the outcome he achieved was the best of all scenarios.

Mr. Blaylock and his firm is outstanding!! Mr. Blaylock and his firm was always in communication with me and always updated me on everything. The case got dismissed in a timely manner and i recommend everybody to hire his law firm for any legal case in Los Angeles county and the west side. Thank you!!
