The office of Boertje and Associates helped me a lot when I needed it the most in the judicial world. David and his assistant Kim communicated with, responded all the questions I needed, and gave me a great outcome regarding my case. Even though everything was virtual due to COVID, I still got great service by them and would definitely recommend David to anyone that needs help in the court system! 5/5 :)

can't thank enough and appreciate David Boertje, and his WONDERFUL Staff. I had my first DUI and was very concerned with the situation and on how to approach it. I had to keep my license because I drive for work and that was my main goal. I had spoken to a few attorneys prior to Mr. Boertje and they all gave me pretty similar scenarios, but the confidence, the reassurance and the step by step of what he would do to help my case gave me confidence that he can handle my situation. Not only that, but David answered my call on a Sunday afternoon, when others I couldn't get through, so at that moment I made my choice to have him represent me. The process of documents, courts, DMV hearing, and everything that I had zero knowledge of was thoroughly explained which made me feel very comfortable. Nothing was hidden from me and Kimberly was extremely helpful with making sure all my questions were answered. She helped me with the documents and was always attentive to my needs and reassuring. She was extremely wonderful and great help with the process as well!! In the end, I did keep my license and things turned out to be much better than expected. I cannot say it enough on how wonderful this team was for me!! Thank you both David & Kimberly!!!

Mr. Garrison is an amazing attorney! He was very professional, answered all of our questions, and is amazing at representing his clients. We felt well prepared before each court date. When he walks into the courtroom, you can tell that he is in his element and I would be afraid to be involved in a court case against whoever he represents. He commands the attention of the courtroom! and that is a great quality to have! Our case was small compared to the large cases that he usually represents, but he was willing to take on our case and we are so very grateful to him! We are happy with the outcome of the case and would not hesitate to retain him again as our attorney should we require his services! We would also be happy to recommend him to our friends and business colleagues in the future! Thank you so much!

Greg is an exceptional lawyer to have on your side if you are ever in the highly unfortunate situation to need him. Due to a tragic series of events, we needed the services of Greg Garrison and we were so lucky to have had his representation. From explaining the steps we were going through, to navigating the politics around our case, to eventually getting us through the worst and to a manageable place on the other side - Greg's experience and levels of service are unparalleled. Do not hesitate to reach out to him. Any reviews on this site that make it seem like he doesn't do the best by his clients are suspect, in my opinion.

Mr. Garrison truly saved my career. I was charged with four felonies involving firearms and Mr. Garrison convinced the Judge to dismiss three of the four felonies. I was then able to plead out to just one misdemeanor. Mr. Garrison is a great attorney and the best criminal defense attorney I could have had on my case.

I can not express how relieved I am after the full dismissal of my case. When I was arrested for felony domestic violence, I thought my military career was over. Fortunately, I retained Mr. Garrison early on and, to my and my family’s amazement, Mr. Garrison was able to convince the District Attorney’s Office to not even file the case. No criminal charges were filed. Highly recommend Mr. Garrison to anyone else in need!

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.

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!

Mr Southcott was very personable when I spoke to him both in person and over the phone. He provided us with very great and helpful advice. He was very generous with his time in both his phone and in person consultation. The first time I contacted him was with a voice mail and then via the web site and both times he got back to me right away. We communicated via email and he responds any time, even off hours and on the weekends. His office is located in Old town and is easy to find.

There are so many good qualities of having Ed Southcott in your corner. He knows many people in the court houses and definately does his due diligence as an attorney. I was extremely happy with Ed's proffesionalism. He answered the phone when i called, responded to emails promptly and helped every concern I had with my court case. I definately like the fact he did not sugar coat what is going to happen. He told me best and worst case scenarios, what he is hoping for, and the likeliness that it will happen. I felt I was in great hands. If I ever need an attorney again I wont think twice, I'll call Ed Southcott!

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!

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 .

Brian has a quiet, dignified and respectful demeanor that commands the respect of his colleagues, the court, the prosecution and his clients. I have seen Brian in readiness conferences before preliminary hearings and trial. Brian fights hard for his clients and will not hesitate to set a case for trial if that's in his client's best interests. Brian's only consideration is how to best serve the interests of his clients. That's why I'm giving him the highest google rating.

BEST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DEFENSE LAWYER IN SAN DIEGO!!!! I came referred to Mary Francis from another family law lawyer who helped me in my extremely acrimonious divorce case. My ex husband was abusive throughout the relationship. But when it looked like I was going to win sole physical custody, and he was going to have to pay support, I saw a side of him I never could have imagined. He attacked me, then called the police after slamming his own face into the door three times, then accusing me. I was taken away in handcuffs, placed in jail, and when I bailed out, I had to deal with CPS. I felt completely alone and abandoned. Then came Mary to the rescue. Mary worked the case from top to bottom, reviewing all the family court pleadings, having her investigator walk the neighborhood to get stories of my husband's abuse from everyone he could. At the end of the day the case was dismissed. It ultimately took 6 months to get it dismissed, and it cost a fair price for my freedom (especially the investigators, Mary Francis not so much). But it was worth every penny. I am now safe and secure with my children. Thanks to Mary Francis. She is the best domestic violence defense lawyer in town, I was told, and my referral was right on!

As a veteran criminal defense attorney, I consider myself fortunate to have met Mary Francis Prevost. She is not only a respected colleague who has achieved a state wide reputation for aggressively and effectively defending her clients, but she has become a valuable resource for me as well. There aren't many criminal defense attorneys I can take advice from, but she is so knowledgeable and experienced, that consulting with her professionally as a colleague on extremely complex legal issues always helped me identify or clarify my strategy in a case. The resolution she achieves for her own clients is truly remarkable. She protects them from abuses of the system, safeguards their civil rights, and produces the excellent results she has become known for. I couldn't recommend her more strongly.

I had a run in with Sheriff deputies who threw me to the ground and then falsely arrested me, and accused me of being drunk. I'd had one, single beer, with three witnesses. it didn't matter to them. Good for them that they didn't have cameras. So they could say whatever they wanted and there wasn't much I could do about it. But then I was looking for a good San Diego criminal defense attorney, and I was referred to Mary Frances, and she did a lot about it. She was able to get into their personnel files, find the two who slammed me to the ground had other complaints. The prosecutors didn't want to do anything to the deputies except protect them. I am a God loving man, and I expect the law and government to be honest. They were not. None of them were. Mary Frances stuck it out and pushed to the date of trial. She had witness lined up against the cops, my witnesses lined up, and only then and after many months of working hard was Mary able to get the case dismissed. It's a sad day in San Diego when a God fearing, tax paying citizen is treated like a criminal not only by cops, but by the prosecutors. I will never look on law enforcement with the same respect I once held. Thank God for Mary Frances and her perseverance.
