The Law Office of David P. Shapiro is an outstanding firm of professionals. During this time of high stress for my family, David and his staff were compassionate and reassuring. They are great listeners and very responsive. I am very grateful for the level of service and very pleased with the outcome of our case. David & Team, Thank You!

We hired Stefano Molea to represent our adult son who was charged with a DUI accident with the other parties sustaining great bodily injury. At the start, Stefano came up with a detailed plan on how to best represent our son and navigate through the legal challenges. Stefano's legal knowledge, attention to detail, and his extraordinary communication skills, makes him a true expert in the legal field. He is compassionate and helped our son take the right steps towards his sobriety. We got the best possible outcome for our son and we owe it all to Stefano.

Helping good people get their lives back is not just a catch phrase. They mean what they say and are serious about taking care of the client. Ally Keegan and the team at Law Office of David Shapiro are AMAZING! My charges for a 25 plus year old case were dismissed, it was not easy but I truly believe that if I had went with any other Law Firm that the outcome would have been very different. Thank you Ally for helping me get my life back!

My life was out of control and I made some bad decisions which got me into trouble with the law and I ended up in jail. I went into treatment and got clean when I got out of jail and David took care of all the legal problems I had. Without David I would have been left with multiple felonies on my record. Thanks to him I now have none and was able to regain control of my life.

I didn’t sign up with them, but I did speak with Alyssa on a criminal case, and she was very helpful! I spoke with the front desk and Alyssa called in 10 minutes to discuss the matter. I did t need a lawyer after all, however she did explain alt for my issue. I will keep their number in case (I hope not) for future concerns.

Before hiring Russell for my federal case, I interviewed five other criminal defense attorneys in the southern California district. The moment I met Russell, my heart knew Russell was the perfect choice. His attention to detail and his knowledge was breathtaking. Mr. Babcock instantly pointed out important details that other lawyers I talked to did not catch. He goes above and beyond my expectations including checking on my mental health from my federal case. I listened and trusted with everything Russell said. At the end, I am extremely thankful for the outcome that we got!! Absolutely incredible attorney!

My son was living in another state when he was charged with first degree murder for a crime that had been committed several years ago here in California. As soon as I found out about the arrest I made arrangements to take a plane out the next afternoon. As soon as I made my plane reservation I went on line to find an attorney to potentially represent my son. I needed someone who specialized in homicide. Our family had no prior experience with the legal system as it pertains to criminal defense. I had no idea what to expect. Being that it was after normal office hours I left messages with two attorneys. Within minutes, attorney, Russell Babcock returned my call. I explained the reason for my call. He set a meeting for the next morning so I could meet with him and still make my flight in the afternoon. At our meeting I explained everything I knew about the case. He told me about himself and his experience as well as explaining the process and the sequence of events that would take place. Mr. Babcock made himself available should I need guidance while I was away. I had several questions during that time and needed help getting a Power of Attorney. Mr. Babcock emailed a Power of Attorney form for the state my son was living in and helped me navigate through the process. Once I returned back home I did extensive research on several attorneys. The charges against my son were serious and had the potential of a life sentence so it was critical that we pick the right person. I enlisted some family members to help me research potential representation. We read everything we could find on several San Diego attorneys who specialized in homicide. I personally interviewed eight attorneys. Ultimately we agreed on Russell Babcock. At the time Mr. Babcock was hired, he gave me a set price to handle the case. He informed me about extra expenses that could potentially come up, depending on how the case progressed. During the course of my son’s case, Mr. Babcock contacted me on a weekly basis, some weeks I heard from him multiple times. Every time there was new information he emailed or called. We met several times initially while he was gathering information and building the case. There was uncharted territory in several aspects of this case which created more of a challenge and significantly more research for Mr. Babcock. He went to the jail many times to visit my son. I can truly say he took a personal interest in my son and in the case. I believe he represented my son the same way he would represent his own family member. Every claim he made in his profile I found to be true. I believe Mr. Babcock went above and beyond what ANY other attorney would have done. The prosecution wanted a first degree murder conviction, consequently they were not open to any kind of a plea bargain. Through weeks and weeks of research, some very impressive Motions and the professionalism and expertise Mr. Babcock presented, the end result was a plea for Manslaughter without Malice. I don’t believe any other attorney would have been able to get the original charge reduced to where it ended up. After going through the last year of the hell our family has gone through, we owe a lot of thanks and gratitude to Mr. Babcock for getting to know my son and seeing him as a person worth fighting for. Not only did Mr. Babcock help my son, but he also guided our family through the ups and downs of the process. His knowledge and caring attitude were invaluable. I believed in the beginning that Mr. Babcock was the right person for the job. I am now convinced that he was. I believe with ANY other attorney the conviction would have been catastrophic - a life sentence. I can not say enough good things about Mr. Babcock. He is honest, trustworthy, true to his word and more than anything else, he truly cares.

There are two things that I like about this attorney 1) he is caring and 2) he knows what he is doing! I had an opportunity to assist on one of his murder case for one of my customers and I was touched to see how SENSITIVE he was with her and how thorough he was throughout the entire process, and that's hard to find. I recommend Russel because of his inability to listen, care and most importantly, his more than 30years of experience in criminal law. Thank you, Russell!

Desperately looking for an attorney for my mother, I came across the law office of MR RUSSELL. Decided to give it a try after reading good reviews. My mother was facing a federal criminal case after she was detained in Mexicali trying to enter the US Illegally..long story short . Mr Russell didn’t hesitate to visit her and give us updates of the case .. my mom was looking at a sentence of 6 months - 1 year .. but it all got reduced to only 63 days of already served time in jail .. AND Mr Russell was able to reduce this into a Misdemeanor case . Wow! I COMPLETELY RECOMMEND THIS LAW OFFICE.. Mr Russell answered all my questions in a timely matter . And made everything seem less stressful.. my mom is free and home now in just 2 months ! Forever thankful to Mr Russell and his team!!

Mr Russell Babcock is truly one of the best attorneys in San Diego for federal court system I was facing a 10 year sentence . And he lower my sentence to 18 months Truly one of the best man’s in this Planet that will keep their word since day 1 till the end trustworthy and honesty

Being a former public servant in the police and fire sector, being on the wrong side of the law was foreign to me. When the time came that I needed the services of a top lawyer I was referred to Tom Matthews by a close family member. When I heard what Tom was able to accomplish in past cases and after doing research through various outlets and resources of mine, it was a no brainer to go with Tom. Tom was attentive, honest, open, and forthcoming about what to expect with my situation. He absolutely used his reputation, relationships and knowledge to ensure a positive outcome and I couldn’t be any more pleased. Tom is absolutely a top lawyer in San Diego.

Tom and his team are great! The results they got for me were much better than I anticipated. their professional and friendly approach is top notch. Thanks again Tom and team ????????????????

I can not thank Mr. Matthews enough for keeping me out of jail. Tom was an amazing criminal defense attorney. I was facing multiple years in prison and was very nervous and more afraid than i had ever been in my life. Tom calmed me down and made me feel comfortable about the whole legal process. He treated me as if i was a family member or a good friend of his. Mr. Matthews legal expertise saved me from doing a lot of hard time. My case was a very complex case and ranged across a few states. Tom handled the case very professionally and I was very pleased with the outcome. I would recommend Tom to anyone who needs a criminal defense lawyer that cares about the people he represents. Thank you again for giving me a second chance at life Mr. Matthews!

"I am so relieved to have Tom taking care of the business aspect of things so that I can concentrate on my recovery process." With Tom representing me, I had a peace of mind through the entire process and I received a very successful outcome! Honestly, i couldn't imagine going through that process without him representing me.

Great lawyers. My cousin used their criminal defense attorney for a dui case and won.

    I would highly recommend Mr. Ramos. He is very assertive, and also very thorough. He really doesn’t miss a beat!! Which is what you want, if you’re going up against child protective services. I had a very complicated case, I hired George and the matter was resolved within a couple months. Thank you George, and thank you to your staff. Our family will always remember you, and keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

    George did a phenomenal job setting realistic expectations and taking time to walk me through each step of the legal process. Other attorney's I had spoken with made me feel like I was buying services from a used car salesman... Thanks to George, my case was dismissed. The legal system is not always fair and can be a very scary place. Don't wait, lawyer up, and contact George right away for your best possible chance at success.

    I had a wonderful experience with Mr Ramos. His work got my case rejected which is everything that I was hoping for. He is a direct no nonsense kind of guy. Very professional and made me trust him immediately. Also his paralegal Denise is very professional and responsive. Overall, Mr Ramos made me feel taken care of during a difficult time in my life and I got a positive outcome. Highly recommend.

    Excellent service!! Highly recommend

    I chose not to retain Mr. Ramos after our brief phone consultation. Although he was informative regarding certain details pertaining to my recent arrest, he told me some things that contradicted what two other ex-district attorneys turned criminal defense lawyers had previously told me on my one on one consultation with them. I’m the type of person that likes to get a feel for a person with more than just a five minute phone call, and I told Mr. Ramos that I’m aware that COVID probably prevents doing a lot of in person meetings, but I asked him if he’d be willing to Skype or FaceTime with me so that I could get a better feel for him so that I can make the best decision in retaining an attorney for my very serious criminal case. He rather rudely told me that he doesn’t Skype unless he’s been retained. From that point on, he seemed annoyed. He’s not a cheap lawyer and he wants all money up front (which is his right) but I feel I have a right to see more than a picture and a phone call before paying over 6k to retain someone. Just rubbed me the wrong way...

      I chose not to retain Mr. Ramos after our brief phone consultation. Although he was informative regarding certain details pertaining to my recent arrest, he told me some things that contradicted what two other ex-district attorneys turned criminal defense lawyers had previously told me on my one on one consultation with them. I’m the type of person that likes to get a feel for a person with more than just a five minute phone call, and I told Mr. Ramos that I’m aware that COVID probably prevents doing a lot of in person meetings, but I asked him if he’d be willing to Skype or FaceTime with me so that I could get a better feel for him so that I can make the best decision in retaining an attorney for my very serious criminal case. He rather rudely told me that he doesn’t Skype unless he’s been retained. From that point on, he seemed annoyed. He’s not a cheap lawyer and he wants all money up front (which is his right) but I feel I have a right to see more than a picture and a phone call before paying over 6k to retain someone. Just rubbed me the wrong way...

    Without a doubt you will not be disappointed if you retain David Chesley to provide you with legal assistance in San Diego. He will fight for you and will go the extra mile. He has helped myself in the past as well as several others I know and he has never lead them wrong. A fine person and family man, who simultaneously shows concern for his community and those is his state. Those are the qualities I trust and endorse. He has helped us to get what we needed and rest easy.

    I would recommend Mr. Chesley to anyone who is needing a criminal defense attorney in San Diego. He is experienced and knows what he is doing. He takes the time to listen to his clients and does his research to do the best job that he can in defending his clients. During my experience with The Law Offices of David Chesley, I was very pleased when he defended me in court. It was unbelievable on how prepared he was and how he conducted himself during trial. If I could give a million stars I would. I highly recommend Mr. Chesley to anyone who needs legal help. Thank you so much Mr. Chesley, Yasmeen Alvarenga

    If you want honest and informative advice from an extremely knowledgeable group of attorneys for free give them a call. They will give you the most experienced criminal defense attorneys at the most affordable price available. They handled my felony cases at the San Diego Central Courthouse and were able to get me the outcome I requested. Very thankful for their legal services in San Diego.

    What we thought to be a simple misunderstanding quickly escalated into more and we found ourselves in a facing criminal charges in San Diego Criminal Court. Thank God that we found the Law Offices of David Chesley. David was very professional, as were Debra and Jose. I truly enjoyed how they handled my case. Debra was always helpful and friendly. There is no way I could ever truly show my gratitude for not only his professionalism but also his kindness. I would recommend this criminal defense law firm over any other in California.

    David and Peter are great guys! Super easy assault attorney or dui attorney to work with and really down to earth guys. They both worked very well with me and with all their hard work I was able to keep my dream job. Even after my case and sentence he’s still looking after my future I couldn’t have chosen a better criminal lawyer in San Diego to represent me. These affordable dui lawyers near me are available 24 hours. Also handle cases dealing with homicide, guns, drugs, and firearms.

    I hired Dan Greene to help a family member with some legal issues. Dan was great. He really knows how to navigate the court system. We had a late request on Friday afternoon. Government rarely gets things done on Friday afternoons. Dan moved mountains to get our time sensitive issue resolved as quickly as possible on Friday afternoon after 4:00pm. Others that I have shared the story with say that is unheard of. Dan was also extremely empathetic and compassionate with the sensitive nature of our case. We were charged a fair price and Dan Greene delivered more than we expected. I would hire Dan Greene again without hesitation and would recommend him to others.

    When my son got put in jail for drugs,Being out of townI searched the Internet in San Diego to find the best attorneys in criminal defense and going on the reviews thanks to the others who reviewed this firm I signed up with Attorney Armstrong’s firm. I was assigned attorney vanessa Albert, I was so lucky to get her she worked hard to get my son out of jail and went out of her way to help me with getting him rehab and pointing me in the right direction to resolve his charges she was honest hard-working and a delight to work with.. she was very dedicated and knowledgeable and made sure that she answered all my questions and concerns. Attorney vanessa albert is an excellent lawyer very easy to work with and I highly recommend her.Her charges are also very reasonable, for the amount of work she put in.

    Back in 2019, I was in a desperate situation where I needed to find a good criminal defense firm to handle some outstanding legal issues. I felt so relieved to find Mr. Armstrong’s firm. From the start, David & Elizabeth were very attentive to all of my questions and concerns and even took the time to walk me through all of the procedures that I might expect given my situation. I felt very comfortable working with their entire staff. This firm truly cares about their clients best interest and it shows in their work ethics. I am so glad to have found them!

    Smart and forceful in court. I'm very impressed.

    I came to the Kerry Armstrong after a domestic dispute involving the police. I called his office as soon as I was released from jail. They were very responsive to all my questions. I was so scared. They gave me a lot of relief because they went over everything to expect very clearly. I ended up retaining them to handle my case and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. They are the best there is. Their entire team is very attentive and always responsive with their communication. This is a team you can trust!

    Vik Monder really cared about my case and did everything he could to get the results he did. Thank you Vik.

    Amazing and down to earth! Finally an attorney who doesn't BS and delivers real results. From the very first day we spoke, he explained everything and told me what to expect. About an hour after our conversation, all the relevant court documents had been filed and a court date had been set for my matter. This attorney is on his way to becoming a celebrity lawyer!

    He was able to get my case dismissed through a diversion program that I never even heard of and my record stayed clean.

    Monder Law Group is a great firm. I called them on a Saturday and they agreed to meet with me the same day. It was definitely important to me that they understood the specifics of my case before I hired them. They gave me a strategy to follow and after the meeting I felt confident in their skills and hired them for a reasonable amount of money and everything worked out well.

    If your life's on the line there is only one person in the world to contact and that is Vik Monder. He is definitely one of the best lawyers I have ever had. I think you are in the best position to hire him if you are looking at serious jail time. He will make sure to mitigate your case so you get the best possible result in your case. I am speaking from personal experience.

    Great attorney, knowledgeable and a true human being. May god give him and his family with the best that life has to offer. Many attorneys do not care for their clients. He will be a judge if he chooses one day. He helped me through hell that was created by a man who wanted us to suffer. He won in Two deferent lawsuit for me. May god and his new clients care for him as he cared for me and my family. I highly recommend him If you are dealing with difficult situation.

    My husband and I were referred to Nick from another lawyer and we could not have been any happier. We needed help with our case regarding a restraining order and to ensure our children were protected. Nick was upfront and honest about fees, what we could expect and what he would expect of us. He returned all phone calls and emails in A very timely manner and even when we had to call him On the weekend/Holiday he was very helpfully and didn't sounds upset we had to bother him. He answered all of our questions, went to every court date and made sure we understood what was taking place , when he meet with our children he spoke to them on their level and made sure they understood also. We did get a win and he made our family very happy and our children can't wait to be kids again. If we are ever in a spot again where we need a lawyer we will be calling Nick first to see if it is an area he works with.

    They said that they could not help me with my situation in getting my properties rewarded me. Though wells left to me though families members that passed away.

    I found Nick Moore online when looking for an asset forfeiture attorney in San Diego. I wrote bail in San Diego for five years so had much exposure to the local attorneys. Nick Moore is a welcome change of professionalism. I was able to get a consultation the same day I contacted him! A real honest stand up kind of guy. I was impressed and relieved to know I had someone like him as an ace up my sleeve.

    My deepest appreciation to Mr. Nicholas Moore, who assisted me with my case. He was very professional from the beginning, and I trusted his legal advice. I was fully confident that Mr. Moore could win my case, and he did. A million thanks to a great lawyer.
