    I had a complex legal matter that went on for quite some time, and after working with other…read morecounsel, I ultimately made the difficult decision to switch attorneys mid-case. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I could have made. Joey Felbab took my case on and immediately had thought of a few different angles that no other attorney has thought of. Impressive! I also appreciate his ability to put actual "work" into the case. I was impressed each time he spoke in the court room, remembering case details, dates, and statutes. He really does put in a lot of effort and trys to examine every possible angle. A big part of being a good attorney is also being likeable. He was able to be seen, be heard, and to communicate his ideas without ever coming off as arrogant. Professionalism and transparent communication across the board. I wholeheartedly recommend Joey and this law firm for anyone who wants to be sure their case has the best outcome. Truly a miracle worker and lifesaver.

At the end…read moreof the day I paid these guys $10 grand on bogus felony charges from a mentally ill kid that lied. My case wasn't resolved they kept telling me that they didn't want to keep bugging the D.A regarding charges that were not filed on my case because they didn't want to bring attention to my name but after terminating this office I received an itemized break down of charges which showed continual contact between the lawyers office and D.A despite him telling me the opposite. Anyways I didn't feel good from jump after having a free eval in office with a guy named Joseph which i explained what happened and the guy makes a smart remark regarding some papers that I showed him where he made mention to me, go on with that! So he was against me from the start. And then I have a second appointment this time with Phil where I came to the office with about $8500 and dropped on the desk and retained his service. And upon looking at my charges he seem disgusted like I really committed the crime. So, I made the mistake in trusting these guys and this office because I was blind sided by all the good things they say on their website. So be careful when choosing attorneys because not all of them have your best interest at hand. Mind you this is the 2nd attorney ive fired because they lie. Simple.

I came in only 3 days before my hearing, yet he still took my case without thinking twice and has lowered my charges significantly(DUI and speed enhancement to wet and reckless). He has also worked to eliminate jail time, home arrest and community service. I am amazed with the results as I was certain nothing could be fixed or helped given the conditions and circumstances of my case. I highly recommend their firm and Mr. Arie. I am extremely grateful for their continued assistance and recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and honest assistance.

We reached out to her by email and she responded to us expeditiously with a lot of great information we were able to work with right away. After hearing about our situation, she provided us sensible counsel with regards to our legal options and the family law procedures we should take. Laurel is very honest, trust-worthy, empathetic and knowledgeable in her field. We were extremely lucky to have found her and grateful that she represented us. Two days after we retained Laurel and her law office, we were able to get the proper, signed consent forms from the dissenting party. And, this allowed us to get the emergency passports for the children and fly back to the US. Thank you to Laurel and her team for being there for us during a most difficult time.

    Our family went through an unimaginable nightmare that I wouldn't wish on anyone. My sister's…read moreex-boyfriend came home one night drunk and violently attacked her and our entire family. He was arrested, but days later he posted bail and was set free. We believed we had an airtight case: over 20 photos showing the injuries, a video of him admitting guilt, and statements from the children confirming the abuse. We thought the truth would prevail without the need for an attorney. We were wrong. Just three days before our family court hearing, he maliciously filed a false CPS report claiming my sister abused the children. CPS showed up without a professional sign language interpreter, despite my sister's deafness, and I had to step in to interpret. The children clearly told CPS they felt unsafe with their father and confirmed the abuse. Even though CPS wrote this in their report, in court his attorney twisted the facts, claimed I manipulated the conversation, and had the report thrown out on a technicality. Within five minutes, the judge shockingly awarded full custody to the abuser, who still had pending felony charges. In the following weeks, CPS reopened the case and we watched helplessly as the children were interrogated under their father's influence. It was the most unjust and painful experience of our lives. That's when we hired Christopher Hernandez in Riverside, thinking legal representation would save us. Unfortunately, Christopher failed us at every turn. We paid nearly $15,000 for constant frustration. He rarely answered calls, forcing me to call multiple times a day just to get any response. He juggled too many cases at once and admitted to it. Worst of all, when it came to court, he repeatedly forgot the facts of our case--facts I had thoroughly gone over with him many times. Every time we appeared before a judge, the opposing attorney ran circles around him, leaving us devastated and without real representation. It was clear he never truly cared about our family or the outcome. In what felt like our final attempt to save the children, we contacted the office at Laurel Buchanan. From the moment we spoke, Laurel's intelligence, professionalism, and genuine care were evident. She listened carefully as I explained the entire case and, within minutes, repeated back every critical detail with precision. Unlike the first attorney, she immediately identified where the court and CPS had failed and laid out a real legal strategy. Laurel showed us laws and protocols the previous attorney never even mentioned. She made it clear we had a legal path to reverse this injustice. Laurel and Wendy fought for us like no one else. Her knowledge of family law was unmatched, and she approached the case with both sharp legal skill and sincere compassion. She battled a dishonest opposing attorney and a flawed system with tireless dedication. Thanks to her and Wendy, we won. The custody order was reversed, and the children were returned to my sister. It was such an emotional victory that my sister cried--and Laurel, who had poured her heart into our case, shed tears with us. Laurel Buchanan didn't treat us like just another file; she treated us like family and fought for us as if it were her own loved ones in danger. She changed our lives. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone who needs an advocate against a broken system or a manipulative opposing party. She is brilliant, fierce, and compassionate--the very definition of what an attorney should be. Thank you Laurel, here I am a year later writing this review and I am still left for words for everything you did for us. When we thought it was almost over for us, you came to save and change our life's forever. We are forever thankful with you and Wendy, and the team. Thank you.

My case was a looming presence over me but thanks to his knowledge of the court system and him and his teams work, my case was dismissed. My unfamiliarity with the legal system made a very confusing time feel very scary but having Alex and his team gave me courage and peace. Highly recommended for anyone going through a similar situation.

Someone who paid Cash money, no loan,no payment plan. I would not refer anyone to this Law Firm at all!!My case went from bad to worse . I had two misdemeanors that turned into 3 felonies and a strike . I was not familiar with the law that's why I hired this law firm . I now know that this Law Firm very inexperienced, inpatient and not a Law Firm someone should hire with confidence . It was not brought to my attention that DA could refile up to two years. Again I'm not an attorney or a law firm. When I was in court Alex was not able to give me the confidence at all one should have in their attorney. He actually was extremely short ALL the time with me, never returned my calls when I needed just some questions and concerns addressed . He seemed frustrated and short all the time when Id ask to have a call with him . If i missed his phone calls by literally a minute he'd send me to voice mail and say he's off the clock And not call me back.Alex Was always extremely short with me. Sometimes Id wait for several days just to see if I could get a minute of his time. If this law firm would have advised me to take the first deal , and not try to take a misdemeanor to trial i would have done so. Again I hired them as the professionals. My case was sent to several attorneys desk at this law firm and still they did not have the experience or knowledge to give me advice or the best deal. I did my time and I did my crime . I'm not trying to make me sound like I'm a perfect human.I'm clearly not an attorney .I would NOT hire this Law firm or recommend them.. They are very inexperienced and short with their clients. I'd make appointments with Alex to go to his office and he'd change the location hours before from the Riverside office to the Los Angeles office(I was driving three hours from San Diego ).I never argued or got mad I did whatever i needed to do. He would tell how we could talk at court and Alex would be on his phone the entire time with someone else, and rushing away right after court, saying he'd call later which never happened. I'm blessed this nightmare is over but I truly believe I was better off with a Public Defender! I'd speak with Jesse sometimes but same vibes as Alex. One good experience I did have was the secretaries were always polite and professional . I'd always get my text letting me know I had court and what department. For that I would give one star. But as far as my experience with this law firm. Id recommend you stay with a public defender or represent yourself! Or hire a different Law firm who has experience and patience to deal with their clients worries,questions and concerns .
