Interviewed 5 different lawyers and right away knew that Karren Kenney was the the most strategic, well prepared of them. She upfront requested documents for all sorts of scenarios, and shared with me her approach. Karren ended up solving my legal issues in less than a week. They have a great portal that they use that keeps communication and uploads of documents easy. I am forever grateful to Karren for her services.

Outstanding representation! Kenney legal defense is professional, reliable and well-knowledgeable. Kenney legal defense goes above and beyond to provide their clients with the best services. Karren is kind, understanding and will fight for your rights.

Back in 2015 I was in a terrible place in life and eventually entered rehabilitation through the court systems. Little did I know, there was still a very serious case pending against me in another county. When I discovered I had a bench warrant for felony charges I did some research and reached out to Kenney Legal Defense firm and explained my situation to them. Karren Kenney looked up my case as part of a free consultation and gave me reassurance from the beginning. She was able to immediately get my warrant recalled and within few months had the felony case fully dismissed. I highly recommend Kenney Legal Defense Firm if you are ever in need of legal support. I am so grateful for Karren Kenney and all the wonderful people at Kenney Legal Defense Firm.

Karren is an extremely empathetic and kind attorney. She gives a lot of care and attention to her clients. Her experience and advice was a big help. She's always available and easy to reach if you need to contact her about any question or concern. I am extremely glad and satisfied that I chose Karren as my attorney.

Karen was great at communicating with me and making sure I understood what was happening during the process of my case. She obtained the outcome I desired for my case and worked diligently to fight on my behalf. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an effective, ethical and hardworking lawyer.

My family and I just wanted to say Thank You for always being there and in the fight. We're grateful for your professionalism and ability to relay the information in a timely matter. . We would surely recommend your law office in any legal matter in the future. Thanks once again. Elton B.

She’s the best lawyer I know, and this coming from a man who’s been in and out of jails, camps, and to prison. I’ve met many lawyers.Mrs Cini is not one of those lawyers just saying what you want to hear to get paid and done with a case, She is a real-life-person lawyer, meaning she really gets involved in her cases, I was never confused about what was going on in my cases. Mrs Cini would hear out my concerns, counsel me with great legal advice, well known in Orange County courts and is very a devoted to her clients and her work.She handled 2 of my cases, she’s an expert in her field hands down. She handled a criminal case for me and a family case. Both outcomes turned out Good!! Considering my circumstances. No Regrets when you choose Mrs Maltaise Cini, except maybe not going to her sooner. GOD sent her my way. Thank you Mrs Cini and GOD bless.

We hired Ms. Cini to defend our son in legal proceedings. This was a new and somewhat intimidating process. Add a worldwide pandemic to the mix, and we were feeling completely overwhelmed. But under very difficult circumstances (due to the pandemic) of limited access to court proceedings, access to your legal team, and continual delays and postponements, Ms. Cini found a way to get the job done. She made the necessary connections with court officers and the opposing legal team and was able to negotiate a fair and just resolution to a difficult situation. She understood the sensitive situation regarding extended family members and persevered in serving her client (our son) in what we believe was a superior fashion. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others. Her guidance on recommended actions by her client proved to be very positive in the ultimate outcome of the case. Thank you Ms. Cini.

I couldn’t ask for a better experience in a bad situation. Attorney Maltaise Cini totally went above and beyond to help out my Daughter in her case. She took on her case in the last minute situation. Granted I never needed to Hire an attorney before, but I do think she was very fair With her fee. She also work with us on a payment plan. I remember just being so scared and not sure on what to do. Maltaise Cini didn’t make any promises or guarantees what she did give us was hope. She said she would do everything she could to have the court give her a second chance and try to put my Daughter in the position to earn a dismissal. 5 to 6 months later that’s exactly what happen. Maltaise Cini was more then just an attorney for us, she was like a guardian angel. She was generally concerned for my daughter, always calling and checking up on her. She help my daughter back up on her feet so that she could focus on her future. I know everybody’s situation is different but I’d be definitely calling her back if there is ever any more trouble. All I can say is from what I’ve heard from others experiences with attorneys Maltaise Cini was a pleasure working with.

My family hired Ms. Cini to to help me with a criminal case that was very intimidating and daunting to try to process from the very beginning..After originally consulting a public defender it seemed that jail time was gonna be mandatory. She was able to not only get one of the charges dropped but avoided any incarceration and was able to make a deal with the DA and the opposing attorney, (which didn’t seem at all possible in the beginning of my case). I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my case and how much time and effort Ms. Cini put into my defense. It was extremely apparent the whole time she was representing me that she had my best interest in mind , and to be honest even though I know she is busy with many other clients , I felt like I was her only client with how attentive she was to my needs and how timely she was with reaching out to me about important matters to my case and getting back to me if I had any questions at all during the whole process. If I would have continued my case without her I have no doubt I would have received the worse case scenario which would have had a huge negative permanent effect on my life. I cannot thank her enough for what she did for me and highly recommend Ms. Cini if you have any legal issues at all .

By far THE BEST all around!! When my young adult son got into trouble twice Randy was there 100 percent. Extremely caring, responsive and supportive. Chris is awesome too. When interviewing attorneys for my son's first case, Randy hands down passed the test. I like the fact he was a former DA because he not only knows the system, but he is able to ensure fairness to both sides, which was important to me. Unfortunately, had to retain an attorney for the second case which was different than the first, and I didn't hesitate to call Randy again. Thank you Randy and Chris for everything. You guys are the best. And thank you Randy for talking to my son - he heard you and is taking your words to heart.

Thanks God. Since we found Randy, his explanations and details have comforted us with great hope that we are not alone; he is going to defend and support us for the best outcome. Thank you Randy and your team members. Thank you.

In 2008 I needed an expungement done on my record and she was not only able to grant me this but she handled it well and gave no problems. However, I don't know what happend with the people that gave her one star. That's unfortunate if the quality of her services went downhill after 2008! Lastly, due to her doing this, I've had no issues with applying for jobs since nor issues with background checks, criminal or otherwise.

Stacie was able to meet me at court on very short notice, which was amazing and extremely helpful. More importantly, my experience with family law attorneys is that their real expertise is continuing matters and not resolving issues so they can bill more. Stacie truly cares about her clients and what's best for them, not simply lining her pocketbook. This is rare! She is knowledgeable about the law, clear, concise and a zealous advocate. I highly recommend her.

Staycie Sena is a rock star. I saw firsthand why she was voted “Top Criminal Attorney” by OC Metro and Orange Coast Magazine. She truly knows the law and will formulate a plan that gives you the best opportunity to successfully defend your legal rights. She cares for her clients and will make sure you know what to expect and will help you through the legal process with confidence and dignity. She will be your fierce advocate and will fight to for you.

Staycie Sena, is oustanding! She has made the impossible happen in our case. My dogs were taken away by OC Animal Care on a false claim and even though we were told I wouldn't be able to get them back to our family she brought our family together and got our babies home. My son over everyone thanks the lucky stars for Staycie. Our nightmare wasn't finshed there, we were being charged with a felony (w/prison time) but she really battled it out with the proscuter and the judge to bring it down to a misdemeanor which was better than anything I could ever hope for. She knows her way around the justice system, she is experienced and has her strategies. Staycie, is kind hearted, understanding and overall makes you feel safe and in good hands. If you or your family are ever in need of an honest lawyer that will not take advantage of you please call Staycie I am certain she will not fail you. She also has Randy, her parelegal by her side. He is great! He responds to your questions/ e-mails /texts promptly and helps you feel at ease when you are feeling anxious. This is a great team here, give them a call!

She called me back right away. Was not willing to negotiate fee and wanted $500 upfront to write a letter. Her website states responsible rates and payment plans I was not given that option. When someone is in trouble it is not unheard of they need help NOW Ms.Sena said if I couldn't pay $500 today I should do it myself I wouldn't be calling her if I could.

I can't say enough about Rudy. Legal issues are not only terrifying but you don't know where to turn. Rudy alleviated all of our fears and the trial outcome was better than we could have hoped. We would have had many more sleepless nights if we didn't feel we were in great hands. We highly recommend Rudy. If the need arises, he is definitely our man.

Rudy was amazing to work with. He put a great plan together to help get my case dismissed. Not only is he very affordable, but he is very responsive and very knowledgable and professional. I felt relieved as soon as I spoke to him the first time and had hope that he was the one that could help me with no doubt. I would highly recommend Rudy to anyone who needs a great lawyer.

***IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING AN ATTORNEY ANYWHERE OTHER THAN HERE YOU NEED TO STOP LOOKING AND USE RUDY!!!!!! YOU WILL NEVER FIND BETTER!*** I needed an attorney a little over a year ago because I made a foolish decision to take something that want mine from a major retail store In an amount over $950. ???? Finding Rudy was easy because after searching "Best Defense Attorney for Veterans in Orange County" he was everywhere and his reputation precedes him in every single manner. From day one Rudy took time to listen to me, talk it out, and my biggest fear was the retainer given his credentials (definitely research them if you haven't because he is rare) and history in the courtroom. I was shocked at not only how fair his rates were but how willing he was to work with me on what I could afford payemnt wise. HE DID SOMETHING THAT NEITHER I NOR PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE IN COURT HAD EVER SEEN ON THE FIRST DAY AND I KNEW THEN I HAD THE BEST ATTORNEY MONEY COULD BUY. There was a confusion about an old case I had which the DA absolutely did not like and I was supposed to be arrested for it. The DA didn't like me too much at all I guess from day 1. Lol ???? I found out about this the DAY OF court and started sweating bullets as I knew I was going to jail if even for a book and release. NOT WITH RUDY. He literally had a bail bondsman already there with us and while I see the two officers getting up to come detain me, he somehow got the judge to agree to let me sit up in the courtroom until bail was posted for me. Even the cops looked confused like their birthday was taken away. AND his guy worked with me on payments without question because of Rudy's vouching for me. (I wish I remembered the bail company so I could recommend them) Long story short, I had some delays due to coronavirus but he managed to take 1 Felony, and about 5 or 6 Misdemeanors (I got them while on bail. Driving with suspended license.....x3 ????, and a few others) and had Every...single....thing......*wait for it*...DISMISSED aside from the felony which was dropped to a misdemeanor with bare min. in restitution allowed, no jail time, and a small 10 hours of community service!!!!!!! What he did, how he did it, and the respect he has from every single person when he enters the courtroom makes you feel like you retained Superman or some type of high powered celebrity attorney. I am baffled at how humble he is with his track record and can only hope this review might save you time and a criminal record, as well as the smallest way I can pay it forward to Rudy. I will forever feel indebted to him. You will never regret hiring him, I would put my life on that wager.

You're not going to find a more affordable experienced lawyer! Rudy not only got my case dismissed he also filed for the sealing of the case on my behalf! Every step of the case he was open to every question and was very good at explaining in a way i can understand. He is amazing at his job. I have a history with the legal system so for me to recommend Rudy..Is big.. Out of all the lawyers I've come into contact with Rudy is by far the best. He really worked with me on payments and didn't charge me for things he should have. I lost my job due to this case and he was super understanding to my situation. He has a sign that says Top Mench in his office.. and i believe he embodies exactly that!

As a result of my actions, I found myself unfortunately involved in the criminal justice system. The charges filed against me were serious in nature and involved a moral turpitude component, which if found guilty would have impacted my professional licensure and my ability to earn a living to support my family. Rudy Loewenstein is an honest lawyer, with significant experience dealing with the criminal justice system. He provided a realistic appraisal of what might happen during the process, and what I could expect as a possible outcome. As a result of his repeated negotiations with the prosecutor, my case was entered into a pre-trial prosecutorial diversion and ultimately my charges were dismissed. Additionally, Rudy successfully petitioned the court to seal my records, all but eliminating my mistakes from the public record. Life today is better than it should be, and without Rudy as my council, things would be very different. Bottom line is that you cannot go wrong with Rudy.

    ***IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING AN ATTORNEY ANYWHERE OTHER THAN HERE YOU NEED TO STOP LOOKING AND USE RUDY!!!!!! YOU WILL NEVER FIND BETTER!*** I needed an attorney a little over a year ago because I made a foolish decision to take something that want mine from a major retail store In an amount over $950. ???? Finding Rudy was easy because after searching "Best Defense Attorney for Veterans in Orange County" he was everywhere and his reputation precedes him in every single manner. From day one Rudy took time to listen to me, talk it out, and my biggest fear was the retainer given his credentials (definitely research them if you haven't because he is rare) and history in the courtroom. I was shocked at not only how fair his rates were but how willing he was to work with me on what I could afford payemnt wise. HE DID SOMETHING THAT NEITHER I NOR PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE IN COURT HAD EVER SEEN ON THE FIRST DAY AND I KNEW THEN I HAD THE BEST ATTORNEY MONEY COULD BUY. There was a confusion about an old case I had which the DA absolutely did not like and I was supposed to be arrested for it. The DA didn't like me too much at all I guess from day 1. Lol ???? I found out about this the DAY OF court and started sweating bullets as I knew I was going to jail if even for a book and release. NOT WITH RUDY. He literally had a bail bondsman already there with us and while I see the two officers getting up to come detain me, he somehow got the judge to agree to let me sit up in the courtroom until bail was posted for me. Even the cops looked confused like their birthday was taken away. AND his guy worked with me on payments without question because of Rudy's vouching for me. (I wish I remembered the bail company so I could recommend them) Long story short, I had some delays due to coronavirus but he managed to take 1 Felony, and about 5 or 6 Misdemeanors (I got them while on bail. Driving with suspended license.....x3 ????, and a few others) and had Every...single....thing......*wait for it*...DISMISSED aside from the felony which was dropped to a misdemeanor with bare min. in restitution allowed, no jail time, and a small 10 hours of community service!!!!!!! What he did, how he did it, and the respect he has from every single person when he enters the courtroom makes you feel like you retained Superman or some type of high powered celebrity attorney. I am baffled at how humble he is with his track record and can only hope this review might save you time and a criminal record, as well as the smallest way I can pay it forward to Rudy. I will forever feel indebted to him. You will never regret hiring him, I would put my life on that wager.

    You're not going to find a more affordable experienced lawyer! Rudy not only got my case dismissed he also filed for the sealing of the case on my behalf! Every step of the case he was open to every question and was very good at explaining in a way i can understand. He is amazing at his job. I have a history with the legal system so for me to recommend Rudy..Is big.. Out of all the lawyers I've come into contact with Rudy is by far the best. He really worked with me on payments and didn't charge me for things he should have. I lost my job due to this case and he was super understanding to my situation. He has a sign that says Top Mench in his office.. and i believe he embodies exactly that!

    As a result of my actions, I found myself unfortunately involved in the criminal justice system. The charges filed against me were serious in nature and involved a moral turpitude component, which if found guilty would have impacted my professional licensure and my ability to earn a living to support my family. Rudy Loewenstein is an honest lawyer, with significant experience dealing with the criminal justice system. He provided a realistic appraisal of what might happen during the process, and what I could expect as a possible outcome. As a result of his repeated negotiations with the prosecutor, my case was entered into a pre-trial prosecutorial diversion and ultimately my charges were dismissed. Additionally, Rudy successfully petitioned the court to seal my records, all but eliminating my mistakes from the public record. Life today is better than it should be, and without Rudy as my council, things would be very different. Bottom line is that you cannot go wrong with Rudy.

Was able to resolve my matter with 100% satisfaction. Has always been a great source of information and help; and when I finally needed representation regarding a traffic matter; she resolved it.

Linda was amazing at handling my case. She went above and beyond and delivered a fantastic defense for my case. She was also great at updating and communication which was refreshing. Needless to say, I will be using Linda again! Well, hopefully not too soon...

Linda Iannelli is a top notch attorney. She is ethical, honest, and perhaps the only attorney I would trust my case to. She has represented me in family law with compassion and knowledge. She is a fantastic mediator. She has analytical abilities along with great attention to detail. She uses sound judgement and emotional intelligence. She made what was a difficult time as tension free as possible. I recently received a ticket where a camera was used. She was able to successfully negotiate a change of plea. I did not have to go to court and I did not receive any points with the DMV. She made this painless! She is someone you would want on your side. I highly recommend Linda. If all attorneys were like her, life would be easy. Andrea V.

Linda is a great Lawyer and an expert in what she does. She helped me with my son's reckless driving ticket and was able to beat it. We highly recommend her.

We chose this law office due to the reviews on here but were sadly misled. It has been nothing but a pain to deal with when it comes to the secretaries and/or front staff at the office. The attorneys are great and acknowledge all questions and issues. However, they let their secretaries do all the emails and forwarding from the courts which led to a lot of miscommunication, frustration and more money being spent on our end for little things that was not stated to us through emails. Overall we were sadden when it came down to the outcome of our case since we were told that they could help out veterans. This is in no way to say this was a bad choice, we just wish the staffing and communication was better so this process could've been smooth and stress free.

My experience with CAR Law was excellent. They exceeded my expectations in the handling of my problem that was an abnormal case that required special handling. Sue kept me informed throughout the case and resolved my issues with the DMV perfectly. I would recommend CAR Law to anyone needing legal help.

I called the office today and I got a call back from Michael Phillips within the hour. He was the second attorney I called and his advise not only saved me a lot of money but it was the right thing to do. I highly recommend you use this office for legal advice.

You will not find a more consummate, professional attorney then Todd Landgren. His skills and competence are second to none. I was justly afraid of what I was facing in court, but Todd managed to not only ease my anxiety, but also to reassure me that he would personally see to it that I face minimal consequences. Todd kept me informed of all developments in my case and he was diligent in following through with everything he said he would do. In addition, he was able to answer all my questions and consistently demonstrated that my case and my issues were important to him. I was genuinely impressed with the negotiated plea that Todd managed to get for me. I don't know how he accomplished it, but he did his job superbly. I don't ever plan on getting into trouble again, however If I do, I know exactly whom to call to represent me. Thank you Todd!

I made an email to this law firm this morning to seek some help with getting my license back after dui. I was promptly called back and given a plethora of information from a lovely lady and some great resources for dmv contacts. Would absolutely recommend the service here due to the speedy response time, polite nature and great information.

Getting a DUI is not a fun experience and was actually pretty scary for me. I did a lot of research on Google before I decided to go with Josh. I did interview 3 other law firms and what I appreciated from Josh and Lily was how much effort they put into easing my fears about my first DUI. The other lawyers were trying to scare me about possible jail time and really using the scare me tactic to hiring them which I thought was mean and cruel considering I was genuinely scared. To put a long story short and the end of the day I was represented in a way that I was happy with the outcome of my case.

After a long discussion with different attorneys I decided to go with Orange County Criminal Attorney law firm. When your livelihood is on the line I recommend this law firm. There location was convienent and the fees were reasonable for my case. I appreciated all they explained all the fees in detail and what possible outcomes I could be facing. No BS sales pitch just honest feed back. The attorney stayed in contact with us during the entire case which we appreciated.

This team of lawyers are AMAZING! Always on it and kept in contact with me on my case compared to really any other lawyer I've had in the past. He's very intelligent and the best so far. Cannot wait to see how court goes proceeds but I am very optimistic!

Orange County Criminal Defense Attorneys is an excellent firm that boasts tremendous experience with demonstrated client care. Attorney Thomas Wang, Ariel Chiu, and Vincent Ross are truly extraordinary litigators and care deeply about their clients. How many firms give you their personal cellphone numbers and answer calls at 3am in the morning? I highly recommend this firm!!!

Thank you guys for helping me with my DUI case. If it was not't for you I wouldn't have made it through as easily as I did through court. I will recommend your firm to those in need of a great lawyer.

Dan Chambers and his team were extremely professional, responsive, affordable, and you can tell they care about their work and about you. Perhaps one of the most important parts, Dan got me the outcome I was seeking regarding my case. The idea of hiring anyone else just doesn’t make sense.

I highly recommend Dan to represent your case, I had a very high loos on a dui case with the excellent performance knowledge and experts teamwork representation Dan make what a very High lawyer does proof and left the district attorney’s no choice to dismiss what I can say a very difficult case to win I appreciate the help and for those how are looking to get the best defense I warranty Dan will fight for the best representation on your case.

When I first entered into my legal situation it would not be hyperbole to describe my emotional state as a “wreck”. One of Mr. Chambers most desirable attributes is his lucid personal approach coupled with his voracious defense of my rights. As my case progressed I began to view him as general entering into a battle with an unwitting conviction in pursuit of victory. Unsurprisingly, he was able to have my felony reduced to misdemeanor, as originally promised. You provided my family and I with peace and for that we are forever grateful. God bless Mr. Chambers, you will forever be our family Attorny .

Dan the Man is what I'd like to call Mr. Dan Chambers. I'm not quite sure where to begin to describe all the greatness received, he's like the jack of all trades within his line of work. Not sure if that the proper phrase but i guess what it all narrows down to, Dan Chambers is one of best. Although it was not me personally being represented by him, he made sure I was kept in the loop of everything going on, brokedown details of the case in layman's term made sure I understood what was going on and what was happening next. He'll do everything within his power to get you the best outcome of your case/situation. Dan simply cares about his clients, he tells you like it is not just what you want to hear, no sugar coating. Outside of being a great lawyer, he also recommended really good movies/documentaries. I mean I could go on and on speaking nothing but good about Mr. Chambers, he gets an A++ in my books. I highly recommend his law firm. Thanks for everything Dan. -Nikia

From the start, Dan was confident in obtaining the best possible result in representing me. In the end, he absolutely did. Through the process, his reassurance took away my stressful worry and our rapport grew to a level of friendship. Dan confidently knows the legal process. His attention to detail in researching the case enabled a result even better than a client could wish for.
