Falsely accused of unimaginimal offences all because of a bad divorce where I had won full physical and legal custody of our daughter. Rob and his team faught very hard to show what was truth.

This is the BEST law firm hands down. In 2014 I had run into some issues. After getting bad advice from a shady lawyer, I called Woelfel law. From the start Terry was awesome! Easy to work with and very helpful. Rob Woelfel is the Man! Rob made court appearances not so stressful with his knowledge of law. 4 years later... I called Woelfel Law to help clear up an issue with the court and Terry was awesome again! Relayed my message to Mr Woelfel, got back to me the next day. There is NO other law firm I would ever call.

Michael Chastaine came in my life when everything seemed to go against me. I got indicted by the FBI on a federal case in the Eastern District of California. Let's say I am not the individual that put too much trust in authorities and lawyers. Little did I know that there are stand up individual like Michael still out there. In many occasions he took time out of his personal life to meet with me, help me and guide me through such a difficult process. Not only he represented me through the whole journey, but went far beyond his duty as criminal defense attorney to assure I would get the best outcome. At the end what made him an outstanding attorney is the fact that he is a human after all, he understand that we all are and treat you like one. He has a solid reputation within the federal system and maintain good relationships with every moving part of the government. With his experience he was able to come out with the best strategy and guidance to give me the best possible outcome in my case. Highly recommended criminal defense.

*They may reply to this as me not being a client, but I can confirm I was a client. * This review is a critique of their services provided as a firm. This is my experience with The Chastaine Law Office as a client. Like many people, you do not want to be in the position when you need a lawyer, and in the unfortunate occasion that you need one, you want the best lawyer you can hire. With that being said, I CANNOT confidently recommend The Chastaine Law Office as a reputable, competent, effective or efficient law office. They have an approach (sales technique) of saying that once you hire us, you’ll have the whole firm working on your case instead of just 1 dedicated lawyer. Initially, I felt confident in their capabilities as a firm and was eager to work with them. However, over the course of working with The Chastaine Law Office, I began to wish only 1 lawyer would be focused on my case. At times, there was miscommunication (or lack of communication) amongst the lawyers and paralegals, resulting in redundant conversations which translated to them being unprepared at times. I cannot argue that the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a negative impact on their effectiveness. However, the 3 decades worth of experience was not a positive indicator of adaptability. The Chastaine Law Office struggled with using their online portal which resulted in longer turnaround times for proper coordination. I understand that we must work together to increase a more desirable result, however, I cannot sit idly waiting for the proper utilization of their online portal while I have other personal responsibilities. Without going into too many specific details, my case was not the most straight-forward case, that being said, my situation was not uncommon. I sought legal counsel hoping that I would benefit greatly from a private lawyer instead of retaining a public defender. However, I passionately believe a public defender could have achieved the same results. At times, there were questions they did not have the answers to and directed me to different resources where I can have my questions answered. I understand that not one person knows everything, but when you are paying for a service then answers for the questions regarding your case should be included. With several years of experience as lawyers, I was surprised there was not a clear and concise explanation on what to do as a client. They explained to me what they would attempt to do once I hired them, but once they were hired, I was left clueless on what to do as a client. The Chastaine Law Office should employ a more effective, methodical and communicative approach conveying to their clients what they can simultaneously do so their lives can return to normal. [TL;DR] Lastly, I do apologize for having a harsh tone. The Chastaine Law Office wasn’t entirely a waste of money, however, I do believe they have a lot to work on from a client’s perspective. Jessica Davis and Shane Hoover were pleasure to work with and had a great deal of empathy. They are the reason why my review did not result in a lower rating. Overall, I believe better results could have been achieved if that opportunity wasn’t lost due to switching between lawyers in the firm, competency deficiencies, ineffective counsel and COVID-19. Thank you for reading, and best of luck on your search for legal services. I hope everything works out for you.

Hi my name is Rachel Lee And with my experience with Michael is when I seen him on Saturday and he went to court for me on that Monday him and Jessica was very professional at their job and they always kept me informed and what was going on with my case and even got this dismissed , Michael Is a good lawyer I recommend him to anyone we need more of the people in the world like him and Jessica and your secretary to very very beautiful people God is good because he gave me in touch with the Chastaine law firm.

Mr. Chastain and his lovely assistant Liise were absolutely amazing. They are very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend them. I contacted them online and received a call back within a timely manner. I was not their client but if I ever need them in the future I will give them my business. I will recommend them to any friends or family in need.

I am a lawyer from outside of California who was assisting a client with finding a lawyer. I contacted the Chastaine Law Firm. I found Mr. Chastaine's staff to be helpful and Mr. Chastaine to be professional. Mr. Chastaine asked the right questions and had the answers to mine. After speaking to Mr. Chastaine twice, I am confident that I referred my client to the right lawyer.

Mr. Atwal is an excellent Immigration Attorney. He is vigilant about keeping his clients abreast of any developments in their cases. He made sure the immigration process went smoothly. His knowledge and expertise took a lot of stress off of my husband and myself.

Mr Atwal always treated me with compassion and understanding. Ever the professional, he took a case I felt was a slam dunk for the prosecution and managed to get the charges completely dismissed. He has my undying gratitude and reccomendation as a defense attorney.

Being out of town it was very hard to find a trustworthy and reliable attorney to represent me and save me from having to travel back and forth for court appearances but thankfully I came across a highly recommended attorney; Mr. Atwal. He was not only professional but so understanding of my situation, he fought for my rights and for the best possible outcome. He was responsive and was always a text or phone call away. This was a scary process filled with uncertainty but Mr. Atwal helped me understand what was being offered and what possible outcomes came with each offer. He allowed me to be part of my defense process and helped me reach a solution that was best suited for my future. I recommend him and his office for any legal troubles you may find yourself in. His prices were reasonable but most of all he cared about me as a person not as another file number.!thank you again !!!

It’s hard to even detail it or say what I want to say about this man. I know we pay him to help us, but he genuinely loves what he does and is willing to do ANYTHING to help you. Don’t even doubt him, he’s a miracle In disguise in my opinion and I’m beyond greatful to have had him as my Lawyer. Words can’t even describe how greatful I am right now and it’s all Because he took a chance on me and had my back! Literally the best and that’s that!!!

Mr Atwal is the best! He defended me in a case where I was falsely accused. He got everything dropped and dismissed. He fights for his clients. I highly recommend Mr Atwal to fight for your justice as he did for mine.

Mr. Foos was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I was able to always get in touch with him about the case and or expected a rapid response throughout this whole process. I'm glad that i have found him and he offer legal assistance at a very reasonable price. I have a much better experience going through this case comparing some of my other friends who hire other attorney. I want to thank Mr. Foos for all his hard work and will recommend him for anyone who is seeking legal assistance within his field of practice.

My experience with Foos Gavin Law Firm was excellent. My attorney, David Foos, gave my case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. He was a calming and confident presence during my Restraining Order proceedings. He treated me as a valuable client. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support he gave me and my family. These people know their craft and walk the extra mile for you. My case was handled with the upmost care and professionalism. I also appreciated working with people that care for you on a personal level instead of just handling you as a “case“. His team is AWESOME, Ms. Sayra Ramos-Martinez and Ms. Lori Brown was amazing with informing me with everything that I needed and keeping me updated. I HIGHLY Recommend Foos Gavin Law Firm ????....

I had a very scary unfortunate experience. My prior representation wasn’t doing anything close to what was done for me here at this law firm. I was facing some serious charges . I got them basically dropped with an agreement to do two days of classes. I was facing trial , scared to death. Mr. Foos worked with me financially so that I was able to retain his expertise. Not cheap but well worth it. I hope I don’t ever have to refer friends but if I do it will be here to this firm. I find my self extremely lucky!

Good people sometimes need legal representation. If you find yourself in this position, seek out legal champions like David Foos. David Foos is an experienced brilliant legal mind that will make you proud. I highly recommend Mr. Foos.

I had a family emergency, a life changing issue that was unwarranted. I reached out to multiple attorneys, but only David Foos, Esquire made the extra effort to understand and correct the issue. Mr. Foos was diligent, expedient, and most importantly, available!!! He answered the calls when we were worried. He updated us at every step of the way. He replied to emails quickly; even last minute worries in the late of evening! He was there every step of the way. I've rarely felt as confident and at ease with my life's issues. Mr. Foos showed the confidence, experience, compassion, and determination to resolve a difficult situation. When I said I was satisfied, Mr. Foos offered, to great respect and proof of his honorific duties, to continue to fight and create an outcome that greater benefited my family's life!

    Jennifer, Paul and her team are impeccable. They’ve been thorough and transparent during every step of the long and arduous legal battle for my mentally unstable brother, especially during the unprecedented times revolving the COVID-19 pandemic. The trepidation and uncertainty when you’re dealing with law enforcement and court proceedings can be overwhelming but Jennifer was there to help navigate every step of the way. We appreciated how she did not sugarcoat any details as well as demonstrated immense patience while dealing with a mentally accused inmate. Court proceedings were stressful and exhausting—whenever it felt like we were failing or losing hope, Jennifer always had a way out to keep the battle going. This lady is equipped from plan A to Z. Her legal knowledge and patience combined with high tenacity is what anyone would want in a capable defense attorney. We’re glad we’ve retained her services and she deserves all the credit for the reason our family member is still alive and fighting to this day. Her lengthy legal experience and her teams commitment to fighting for your legal rights is astounding. She’s an advocate for your rights. Thank you, Jennifer.

    Jennifer Mouzis is one of the most honest trustful lawyers i have ever met she is an amazing defense lawyer and does her job thoroughly and will always be on your side and have your back. I've had to go through a few lawyers before I finally met the right one which was her! She's great I highly recommend

    The attorney who will fight for you! Jennifer Mouzis has truly been an angel in our lives. My son was arrested for resisting arrest while he was experiencing a severe psychotic break. He was unexpectedly released from jail while still in a psychotic break and I had no idea where he was. Jennifer and her investigator personally searched the streets of downtown Sacramento looking for him. We finally found him at the emergency room. Jennifer helped us navigate the court system when complications arose in his case. She is sincerely passionate about helping people get justice and to be treated fairly by the justice system. She is extremely patient and took the time to explain whatever we inquired about. She listened to everything I told her and understood what we were going through. She saved my son's life. Jennifer Mouzis is the attorney to trust.

    I cant. Tell u enough about how great this lawyer jennifer is , not enough words to thank her for her kindness.intelligence.her strength .her compassion and her patience .She goes to bat for you and she truly believes in the law and has a gift for helping people.As soon as i met her i could take a breath of relief. It felt like a angel of the law was sent to help me .also her assistant pi was wonderful.. Her whole team office is wonderful.I dont think i ever felt anybody truly fighting for me in justice in my life until i met her .i did win my case thanks to her .she is a fighter .Even if i wouldve lost i would know she did everything I recommend her to anyone looking for a great lawyer.Justice was served and i know i won because she is a great lawyer and person.It is nice to know people like this exist ..I thank her from the bottom of my heart . claire scott

    Don't let this kind professional young lady fool you, she is a ferocious pit bull when it comes to Protecting her clients. I am thoroughly impressed with Jennifer. She is very professional and truly cares about her clients and the impact that injustice has on them. She does not take shortcuts she doesn't back down from a fight. She is not the cheapest and was not the most expensive but she was so worth it. She is definitely one of the few that give lawyers a good name. I highly recommend her and her staff. Her investigator Paul, is professional, serious and very thorough. Thank you Jennifer and Paul for the positive impact you have made in my life.

The trepidation and uncertainty when you’re dealing with law enforcement and court proceedings can be overwhelming but Jennifer was there to help navigate every step of the way. We appreciated how she did not sugarcoat any details as well as demonstrated immense patience while dealing with a mentally accused inmate. Court proceedings were stressful and exhausting—whenever it felt like we were failing or losing hope, Jennifer always had a way out to keep the battle going. This lady is equipped from plan A to Z. Her legal knowledge and patience combined with high tenacity is what anyone would want in a capable defense attorney. We’re glad we’ve retained her services and she deserves all the credit for the reason our family member is still alive and fighting to this day. Her lengthy legal experience and her teams commitment to fighting for your legal rights is astounding. She’s an advocate for your rights. Thank you, Jennifer.

      The attorney who will fight for you! Jennifer Mouzis has truly been an angel in our lives. My son was arrested for resisting arrest while he was experiencing a severe psychotic break. He was unexpectedly released from jail while still in a psychotic break and I had no idea where he was. Jennifer and her investigator personally searched the streets of downtown Sacramento looking for him. We finally found him at the emergency room. Jennifer helped us navigate the court system when complications arose in his case. She is sincerely passionate about helping people get justice and to be treated fairly by the justice system. She is extremely patient and took the time to explain whatever we inquired about. She listened to everything I told her and understood what we were going through. She saved my son's life. Jennifer Mouzis is the attorney to trust.

      Don't let this kind professional young lady fool you, she is a ferocious pit bull when it comes to Protecting her clients. I am thoroughly impressed with Jennifer. She is very professional and truly cares about her clients and the impact that injustice has on them. She does not take shortcuts she doesn't back down from a fight. She is not the cheapest and was not the most expensive but she was so worth it. She is definitely one of the few that give lawyers a good name. I highly recommend her and her staff. Her investigator Paul, is professional, serious and very thorough. Thank you Jennifer and Paul for the positive impact you have made in my life.

    You may not remember me but I do remember you. You represented me during a title IX investigation into my alleged conduct at UC Davis nearly a decade ago. As I grow older I realize the importance of letting others know when their career truly benefits others. I wanted to reach out and thank you for your assistance and your professionalism in representing me. Without you I wouldn't be a physician today.

    He's a standup guy! I had discovered him online, called before even hiring and he gave me useful information, I didn't hire him at that time. I used his information to talk to my public defender but it wasn't going anywhere. About year and half gone by and D.A. was trying to give horrible deal. I contacted Richard again and he took the case even being as old as it was! Couple months preliminary hearings go by and BOOM! Richard informs me all charges were dismissed! He really fights for you and always made me feel secure with my case in his hands. Thank again, Richard

    Allaye Chan Law group is by far one of the best. Criminal defense attorney R. Chan will stand up and fight for you when you need him to. My husband got himself into a severe conflict with the law and was being accused of Felony assault with a deadly weapon plus code enhancement. We thought all hope was lost but Allaye Chan worked us wonders and got the charge dropped to a misdemeanor. Not only did he get the Felony charge dropped but he also got sentencing reduced greatly. We couldn't be more thankful for all the time and work he put into the case. He is an expert at what he does and truly knows his way around the courtroom. He cares about his clients and goes above and beyond for them. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of a strong defense attorney. If you find yourself in need of a Great Defense attorney don't hesitate to pick up the phone and call, he will not let you down!

    This firm has represented two of my family members in separate matters and both had successful outcomes. Mr. Allaye-Chan personally represented a family member in a criminal case and was successful in having the charge dismissed. Another family member was 7 days away from having their home auctioned due to foreclosure and Mr. Allaye-Chan and his associate, Shannon, quickly filed paperwork for bankruptcy to save their home. It was very short notice but Mr. Allaye-Chan again met personally with the family member and started work immediately to stop the foreclosure. He definitely has a Type A personality which may be off-putting to some people, but he has gotten results for my family and I would highly recommend him and his firm.

    Richard Chan is great, I recommend. He has the confidence to win for sure. Watching him work is like art. As a lawyer my boyfriend requested his services and Richard was able to breeze right through the case effortlessly. This man has vast knowledge and isn’t scared of a challenge. If you need a criminal defense lawyer I would give Richard Chan a call.

    Sometimes we go through unexpected incidents in our lives. Incidents that it’s so hard to believe it’ll happen ... but first, I thank God for continuing blessing me with people who truly cares and will defend me regardless of the situation maybe. The Law Office of David Knoll is such a blessings to me. They are very dependable, reliable, fast to resolve my case. I thought I wouldn’t win my victory ... but with their help, I won !!! To those people who thinks your case is impossible to get resolved ... please don’t loose your hope ... hire David Knoll and you’ll expect the sure VICTORY!!!

    Highly recommend especially if you only have a few questions and do not know what to do. Christi is the lawyer working with David and Christi answered my call on Saturday plus answered all my questions instead of asking me for a retainer before she answered any questions, unlike the rest of these law offices. She gave me a piece of mind! And she handled my situation quickly and affordably.

    I've been in trouble before.. Ive been around long enough to know that you're much better off with a paid attorney than a PD. You get what you pay for is what my mother always said.. When I was referred to Dave Knoll by a personal friend I was told that he and Christy had gotten all charges dismissed. I thought I could only be so lucky. Having multiple cases, the retainer was higher than expected, but was fair, after all things considered. I had three separate cases in two different counties. One of which was a serious felony with a prior strike. I remember, at one point, I felt disatisfied as if my opinion or concerns were being brushed off without proper consideration. In actuality I was just being overly anxious. Probably, due to the stress and pressure of possible prison time over my head. We completed the felony case last month when Dave got all charges dropped at prelim. This just 2 weeks after the DA made an offer of 2 years in state prison at 80% and 3 years formal probation. I hope for similar resolutions, with the other two cases. In any case I think hiring David Knoll is the best decision I ever could have made.

    I am beyond surprised and am glad I hired David Knoll and Christy! My speeding infraction and driving with sus license charges will not be charged to me and will not appear on my record! I am so thankful they got me such an awesome deal of only having to do a short educational program costing me only 300$ which saves me so much more! I am grateful for David and Christy, they truly listen and understand our struggles and want to help us in the best way possible! God bless you David and Christy!

    Christy Van Stelle is amazing!!!! I reached out to her after having researched other lawyers for the expungement of my case and am so happy that I chose her for my case. My case was expunged within a few weeks and during the whole process, she was communicating with me and updating me on everything that was going on. She truly cares about the people that she helps and will be very open and honest about everything that is going on. She also could have charged me way more but states that this was a type of case she handled all the time and would not overcharge me like the rest of the lawyers I had contacted. I am super glad that I chose her, she would always answer any questions, she didn't judge me and put my mind at ease whenever I was over worrying. She also always returned my calls and was honest. I wish I would have gotten her for my conviction case but glad I found her for the expungement. I HIGHLY recommend her.

    Jason and Robert were amazing. I called them to get an estimate and Jason was very understanding. He provided me with as much information as he could. They were able to fit me in the next morning for a brief consultation. I highly recommend them both!!!

    Words alone cannot express my admiration of Robert and Jason Holley. Their experience, compassion, and knowledge made me comfortable with my case. Due to COVID things progressed slowly but they persevered. They refused to take the easy way out by taking the DA’s offer. They believed in me and the facts. Due to their due diligence and confidence my case ended with a positive outcome. I would without hesitation recommend Holley Criminal Defense.

    These people will fight for you. They stuck by me during a serious case involving false accusations. Their rates are totally reasonable as well, because you’re getting a team that will go to bat for you. I owe them. This is legal representation that you can count on. Should I need it, I would hire them again without hesitation.

    They're the best criminal attorneys in town. They listen to your case and support you 100%. Highly recommended!!!

    Best attorney. They negotiated with DA and get best deal possible. I got saved. Good listener, responsible and available to take call. If we give Voice mail, they will call back within the same day and answer our questions.

    Hendrick is a really great, professional lawyer. My fiancé and I were searching for an attorney that would represent in his favor && he did exactly that. Got all charges dropped and now we can live comfortably. I would definitely call him again in future endeavors. Thankful and happy that the outcome was great and I would definitely recommend him.

    Very Responsive!! Hendrick had my probation warrant cleared the day after I contacted him. He appeared in court for me on my arraignment and got my probation complete with time served and now he working on getting my charges expunged. He handled my case in a timely manner. Everything was cleared up with a week of me contacting him. No warrant, No Probation/ Alternative Sentencing or jail time. I'm free and clear!

    Thank you Mr. Hendrick, Erica and Crowell Law Offices for helping me with my case. Excellent service provided in Sacramento. My family and I appreciate all your hard work. He is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend him to everyone in need of a attorney.

    Attorney Hendricks helped me so much with my dui case. I’m so grateful And glad I read all the post I’ve reviews and chose him to represent my case. I am a daca recipient so it only made my case 10x more important and he did his best although it was a long process to to the DA, he didn’t give up on me. Him and his team were very responsive with my calls and emails. Thank you all!

    I am a born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and I was very impressed that he's (forgot the lawyer's name) a Christian, a believer in Jesus Christ and is not ashame to announce it on the website. Keep spreading the good news!
