    ***Because of Yelp's character limit, I will also be including photographs of the screen shots of my original review. They will be numbered in the order they should be read- you will have to look through the photographs to find them**** I thought about attempting to shorten my review, but couldn't decide what to take out to shorten it and still do it justice... There are four additional review photographs total in the photo section of DCD Law yelp page....*** So much to say regarding my experience working with Kevin Moghtanei with DCD Law.  I believe my search for the right criminal defense attorney to have been one of the most intense and considerable decisions I have ever had to make.   Searching for a criminal defense attorney is just as crucial and important as finding the correct specialist for a medical condition...  The critical nature of my son's situation resorted in the need for me to find the absolute right lawyer for the job. My son was looking at a good 8 years, plus the parole violation.  After having spoken with many, many criminal defense attorneys, I finally made the decision to retain Kevin as our attorney, and before he even began working on our case it was evident, I had made the right decision.   My son is 23 years old and somewhere between the ages of 17-19 was found guilty and convicted of two felony STRIKES for assault and attempted robbery... After serving 2 years in a California State Correctional Facility, my son was released on parole almost two years ago. A couple of weeks before his parole hearing he was picked up for "an attempted assault with a deadly weapon, as well as for being in possession of a dirk dagger." My son was still on parole for his previous case. Just a whole other layer to the situation.   There are many conditions of parole that could result in a violation which would require my son to have to complete the remaining time he had on his PREVIOUS case-  he was released early determinant upon his adherence to said parole conditions including but not limited to not getting picked up by the police for new cases, as well as not being in possession of anything that could be considered or used as a weapon more than three inches.   While attempting to turn in some recyclables at a Lancaster recycling center, my son got into a verbal argument with a man who was harassing one of the female employees at the center. He and the man argued and after making threats the man went off to call the police; meanwhile, my son picked up a piece of scrap metal off the floor thinking this guy went off to grab a weapon.   My son was charged with assault with a deadly weapon as the man stated he tried to hit him with his car, as well as the possession of a dirk dagger...  STRIKE THREE... If convicted, my son would have spent the rest of his life in a state correctional facility.  My son has three-month-old twin daughters... That and the thought of him spending the rest of his life in prison was the reason for my determination to find an attorney I knew I could trust. At his arraignment, my son was assigned a public defender who encouraged him to take the first deal the prosecutor offered because "after all, you are a felon- you have two strikes already and are on parole, how do you think the judge sees you?" It is common and no surprise that individuals with prior records have to deal with negative stigmas, even if they have been perfect parolees for two consecutive years.   Unfortunately, negative public perception as well as negative stigmas are also something attorneys face, which doesn't make your decision for choosing one easy.  It was a scary process. If I chose an attorney that saw my son's case as an easy payday or saw him as just another felon, what could that have possibly meant for him? Felon yes, but he's also a person who deserves honest, ethical and non-biased representation...  ****Please look at photographs to continue reading this review***

I wanted a reliable attorney whom I would consult directly, and not just be relegated to assistants. And yes, i found one!! Attorney Zelada is truly exceptional. Although he has assistants, at the initial stage, he PERSONALLY went through the 21-pages of the application with me, line by line. And he responded to my ( i admit, endless) questions and concerns, returned calls and promptly responded to my emails when I had issues to enquire about my case. When there were delays with my case, he reassured me, and took the trouble to call USCIS to establish the facts! Truly amazing work, he did. And he accompanied me to the interview despite the relative short notice of the appointment, and given his very busy schedule. Actually I was a little worried he wouldn't make it to interview due to conflicting court schedule in Ventura County that same afternoon, but somehow he made it to my interview at the USCIS Chatsworth field office.And he kept me informed! I believe his courteous, patient, friendly but firm approach made it easier dealing with the officers at the interview. I am so grateful. Everything worked out fine. I am one happy new US citizen. And the fees and payment terms suited my budget. I could not have wished for a better attorney. I now recommend Atty Zelada to my friends! And I will certainly hot hesitate to consult with him in any matter of law in future.

    Efficient and to the point. It wasn't too expensive for an unlimited timed consultation either…read more Thank you for your professionalism, and courtesy.

From the beginning, he approached my situation with focus, clarity, and a level of commitment that I came to rely on. When I was served with a DVRO that could put my career at risk, I felt overwhelmed and unsure of what would happen next. Throughout the process, David's ability to think clearly under pressure and break things down for me made a real difference. His work ethic is remarkable, and I always felt that he was genuinely invested in protecting my future. I'll be honest -- I was anxious, frustrated, and not always the easiest person to deal with. But David remained patient and straightforward, even when my emotions were getting the better of me. His consistency helped me stay grounded, and I'm truly grateful for that. We didn't always agree during my case, but with time I realized he was looking out for my best interests, even when I couldn't see it in the moment. I'm thankful for his guidance and the outcome he helped me reach.

He took the time to listen, walked me through what was happening in a way I could finally understand, and gave me clear guidance without making me feel rushed or judged. What stood out the most was how calm and supportive he was. I came in anxious and overwhelmed, and he genuinely helped ease my nerves just by explaining things plainly and giving me the confidence to move forward. It's rare to find an attorney who leads with both expertise and compassion. Even though my issue wasn't technically in his wheelhouse, he still made sure I left with real answers and a better path forward. I'm extremely grateful for his time and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs honest, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive legal help.

    I don't recommend hiring any law firm with Donald Hilland related to them. He represented me when…read morehe first started practicing law around 2005 and when I had to walk away due to him needing "more money" on the second day of court to continue representing me, he distanced himself, refused my calls and closed his office owing me around $20,000. I didn't understand why he needed more money if I still had almost $20K available, but I never got it back. Being new to law, I think he was afraid of the court system and wanted to walk instead of fight. I was able to salvage the train wreck from a terrible mortgage loan he and his friend orchestrated for me (to pay his fees) and got a load modification through my original mortgage company. So, I came out better. Anyway, you don't need to take my word for it. Just look him up on the State Bar's website (https://apps.calbar.ca.gov/attorney/Licensee/Detail/240436). You can see that he's been disciplined and at the time of this post, HE IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO PRACTICE LAW. Good luck with you situation. I hope you find a good attorney.

    Donald was a very approachable and down to earth person; I love how he kept me updated throughout…read morethe whole process. He's really busy but always made sure to make time for me and answer my questions. His assistant Yeni was also very helpful in answering my questions and providing updates. I would recommend this team for Family Law, although I would definitely hire him for any other law matters. Dealing with this situation was not easy but Donald made it less stressful and easier to cope with. I am extremely thankful and blessed to have been able to work with him. He is very informative, supportive and very responsive. My family and I are very thankful for all your help and support.
