I would like to thanks to Charles for his amazing work it’s definitely worth every penny. I was looking at 90 days in jail for violation of probation I was worry because I have come far to lose my job. So I hire Charles and it was the best decision I made he always stays in contact n talks to you on how he can make it better. Well after hiring Charles I didn’t had to go to jail not even for one day he also took away formal probation to informal so now I don’t have to check up with no probation officers it’s definitely worth the money I would hire mr. Charles in the future and I would recommend him to anyone dealing with the law

Thank you Charles for everything you have done for me I highly appreciate your hard work and determination to fight my case!! I highly recommend Mr. Charles Shivers he is one of the best Attorney’s of Law in the Monterey County! Very professional, knowledgeable and knows what he’s doing!! Thank you again!!

Charles H. Shivers is a great attorney this man literally went above and beyond to help me and that was just with the consultation. He was always honest straightforward and responded to all of my questions with patience and professionalism I am really glad I found him to represent me.

I would like to start by saying thank you to Mr.Shivers. "Charles" is the real deal criminal law attorney. First off he answers the phone! If for some reason he cant, he will respond as soon as possible. He is extremely professional, keeping his appointments, appearing at court dates and assisting his clients with meeting their obligations. I started out like ever other person that has a run in with law. Its the biggest deal ever to you, life as you know it is forever changed. You see little possibility of a positive outcome at the time etc... Charles does his best to thoroughly go over you case. First he wants to find out how are you doing? Yes he actually truly cares about the people he represents! What exactly happened? Who was involved etc.. He lays out the possible scenarios and options with you. But don't get me wrong, he is extremely honest and will be straight with you on the situation. It may not be exactly what you want to hear at that time but believe me it actually helps. Charles will be up front with you about prices for his services and is flexible to help his clients. I'm sure he is by no means the cheapest lawyer around. This is actually the time you want the best representation you can find. These situations we find ourselves in do affect our lives in the future and you want you best chance at a positive outcome. He is great in the court room. He will leave no option off the table, has lots of talented people that assist him with different aspects of your case and will be there till the end. I was glad to have Charles representing me and very pleased with the outcome of my case. It was a pleasure getting to know Charles. Good Luck!

Hiring Charles shivers was one of the best moves I made. His involvement was very proactive which led to a favorable resolution. He helps simplify everything in a way that is both accurate and digestible. When he works he gets the job done, several times he has turned around situations I thought to be one sided- both during and after trial hearings. I feel that he genuinely does all that he can for his clients. I’m overall extremely satisfied with my choice in hiring Charles Shivers, his service is unmatched. If you’re on the fence - you definitely want him in your corner. Thank you again for your help 2018-2020.

Mr. Pernik represented me on my first (and hopefully, last) matter in criminal court. He gave me excellent advice, his price was very reasonable, and most importantly, he had my case dismissed! Honestly, this was such a relief! This happened in 2018. Since then I referred him to some friends who required services of a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney, and I will not hesitate to recommend him again!

This man is a great lawyer ! He defended me in a case. He has the carrisma the knowledge of a great lawyer. I recommend him highly ! Thank you mr. Pernik i will remember you always. Thomas

Having you help me and stand by my side made me feel empowered like I could never lose. You are a great attorney, a great man Thank YOU!! Also let me include that Margarita is an amazing women that helped me during this hard procces and made sure I was organized and ready for my hearings. I appreciate you all so much, right now I'm having a champagne shower after the great WIN Roland and his team acquired for me. I am FOREVER GREATFUL!! -Ruben P.-

Rick is the best attorney ever! A year ago he went to court for me to get some cases expunged. He fought for me even with the D.A. Trying to fight against it. He didn’t charge me a crazy amount either. I can’t thank him enough for what he did for me. He’s an honest attorney and a very nice guy. If you’re thinking about hiring him don’t think twice. Hire him! Do it now! Thank you so much Rick you rock!

I've known Rick for several years and recommend him to friends who need help. He works hard for you and really cares. He has great lawyer instincts and a very professional demeanor in court.

Wonderful attorney and human being. Always outworking the opposing side and will not stop until the goal has been accomplished. In constant communication with clients, keeping them informed of the latest developments on their cases. I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Gazipura for about five years and would trust him representing any of my family members if they were ever accused of a crime.

I have had the pleasure of working with Rick Gazipura in a professional capacity for several years. I have always been impressed by his professionalism, tenacity, and work ethic. Rick goes the distance for his clients. Rick's attention to detail makes him a particularly effective DUI attorney. I highly recommend him.

Can’t say enough about Rick and how he has helped me. I know from experience that Rick is the kind of guy who will go to bat for you. He is also very humble and easy to talk to. He is caring and passionate about his craft. Rick is a great lawyer to have on your side!

    I have had the pleasure of working with Rick Gazipura in a professional capacity for several years. I have always been impressed by his professionalism, tenacity, and work ethic. Rick goes the distance for his clients. Rick's attention to detail makes him a particularly effective DUI attorney. I highly recommend him.

Feels good to have my record cleared. Mr. Green is the guy to get that done. Fast, professional and efficient communication by Mr. Green made the whole experience easy.

I could not be happier with my experience with Mr. Green. From Day 1 he was responsive, returned all calls and text messages in a timely manner and talked me through every aspect of my request. Every time estimate he made was accurate and the process start to finish was extremely efficient, especially due to the current covid-19 restrictions, which seemed to cause him no delay at all. I am extremely pleased with the outcome, with Mr Greens’ professionalism and follow through. I would highly recommend his services to anyone that may need assistance and support.

The Best Attorney ever! He will stick with you throughout the whole case, and shows that he got your back! He has reliable sources also. He referred me to a server, and the job was done the same day I called for service. I would definitely recommend him to everyone that I know. He's the Best!

Mr green was very informative and helped me with my exact needs ,thank you.

VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH HOLDEN GREEN. I earned myself a felony when I was 19 years old, (55 years ago) ( 459 auto burglary). It caused me issues with employment and later when I started my business, on who I could get work from, and needless to say it was embarrassing. i did quite a bit of research on what needed to be done, and then I contacted a half a dozen attorneys in Santa Clara county. Right off the get-go several of the attorneys had no idea how to deal with this, so I randomly selected Holden, based on other positive reviews, to meet with first. That was in October 2020. We met in an outside cafe in down town San Jose ‘because of Covid’. He was VERY straight up about everything, he explained everything in detail, and all the steps, including the restoration of my 2nd amendment . rights, which is a separate step. He also made it very clear that the courts were a mess because of Covid, and I should be prepared for this going into Spring before I would get a court date. This is the only thing that Holden did not get correct; Holden called me on January 20th and told me that my felony was reduced to a misdemeanor and the misdemeanor has been expunged. So spring came on January 20th 2021 I found Holden to be very professional, and very thorough. He returned my emails instantly as well as my phone calls. This has been a very rewording experience. I am now 74 years old and this has been hanging over me for most of my life. I just regret that I did not do this many years ago.

Once you pay the whole amount up front (a must), this guy doesn't bother to return your calls, texts or even emails until the night before case hearing(if your'e lucky). I don't understand why he has good reviews, I generally don't write reviews but felt compelled to write this one. Went through a nightmare dealing with this guy.

Vijay is a knowledgeable and helpful attorney. He was there for me and helped me through a difficult incident. Mr. Dinakar communicates with his clients, tells them the possible outcomes, and delivers results. Do your research, he is reputable around town and is a straight shooter. 5 stars for Vijay and his firm. He's one of the better lawyers out there. Don't look for anyone else, hire Vijay for your legal needs.

Vijay is a very good attorney. I call him brother and he is like a brother to me. I approached him with my DUI case and while the case was pending I was charged with Domestic violence felony. I am an immigrant and was terrified that I might get deported as I planned my whole future in USA. Vijay helped me with both DUI and DV case and got them dismissed with out any immigration consequences to me.

I hired Vijay to represent me in my Domestic Violence case. He did a great job and saved me from criminal charges. He predicted everything in the case correctly.

Vijay is the best DUI attorney. I went for consultations with many attorneys and finally met Vijay regarding my DUI case. He is a very patient person. Heard my side of the story read the police report and took time to understand what I said. All other attorneys said that I will be convicted. But Vijay assured me that he will get the charges dismissed and as promised he did. I am glad I hired him.

Awesome attorney. Worth the extra $$ did a great job with my case went above and beyond what he was hired to do. You definitely get your money’s worth. I recommend him if you need a good attorney to help with your legal problems. Don’t be cheap and go with a public defender. Give Mr. Aljouny a call if you want to see results. Almost every attorney will just take your money, but not every attorney will fight for you.

I am a new immigrant and was in the trouble of DV and seek help from Edward , It was a long journey before I can't before he actually make it to incredible result on the court work with DA . In the beginning , we didn't believe we can make it . On the end , he didn't give up and work with DA with skills to convince DA promise to drop my case . I am totally happy on this result and thanks for him give my life back . My family and kids don't know how to thank him for the work he has done and retaining him . It is beyond worthy and save my job that is supposed to for the family and my family staying in america . Thaanks, Edward

I am certain that my case would have went much different if I hadn’t hired Mr. Ajlouny to represent me. Not only is it obvious that he has a great standing relationship within the DA office considering his 25+ years on the job, but he was a total shark in the case of my DV charges. He went to every extent to fight for my good name and in the end it was Mr. Ajlounys hard work and confidence that ended up getting my case entirely DISMISSED! This came as a shock to a lot of people because the evidence against me didn’t look too good. Mr. Ajlouny was able to to prove my actions were based on self defense which is truly the honest reason I was in this predicament. But how do you prove that in court? You get a winner mentality, go getter attorney like Mr.Ajlouny. He’s sharp, Keene, well spoken and definitely looks the look, walks the walk and most importantly, he talks the talk! I couldn’t be happier!!!! Thank you Mr. Edward Ajlouny!! You’re THE BEST!!!

Ed Ajlouny is a competent attorney who has seen it all. He has a shrewd legal acumen and professional demeanor. Ed is able to assess how your case will turn out and, if you follow his instructions, your outcome will be as he predicted. I found him to fair about his retainer and in court, he is organized, reliable and tenacious. In fact, now that I look back on how much he did for me, he was a bargain. Years later he was able to produce some information I needed on the spot. If you need a lawyer that will give it to you straight and back you up when the chips are down, then I'd recommend Ed Ajlouny. He is a knight in the day.

I chose Edward to defend me. If I had to do it all again, I’d choose him again. He plays things cool because he knows what he’s doing. I appreciated his call on a Saturday, before Monday court. He was awesome and got things resolved very quickly. I’m happy to serve as a reference to any future client.
