This review is long overdue, but I cannot recommend George Gigarjian and his services enough. I had…read morenever faced criminal charges before and was very nervous about seeking out a lawyer. However, from my very first meeting with George I felt at ease as I could tell that not only would he fight for me, but that he had the skill to do so successfully and I was right. George is extremely thorough, knowledgeable and prepared, and his awareness of a newly passed local law helped tremendously in my defense. My charges have been resolved and if it were not for George's proficiency in law and steadfastness in advocating for me I am not sure that would be the case. I was impressed to find an attorney who was not only tenacious in his approach to law but also easygoing, compassionate and reassuring. I was a wreck during my case but George's warm demeanor always made me feel at ease and able to voice my questions and concerns to him free of judgment. He is an excellent and reliable communicator, was straightforward about all the possible outcomes of my case, and always responded promptly whenever I needed to reach him. If you need a diligent and adept criminal defense lawyer in the Santa Cruz area who truly cares about making sure you receive a favorable outcome in your case and will do whatever it takes to make sure of that, look no further than George Gigarjian. I cannot thank him enough for all that he did for me.

Really rude over the phone call, not much help at all besides telling me what google AI told meread more

I'm in The process of working with Mr. Janecki and have to say; I don't entirely disagree with the…read moreone star review currently written here (although am holding out for a favorable outcome ) ; My initial experience isnt necessarily noteworthy and have no comment on the discovery call I made prior to hiring Mr. Janecki; he seemed kind enough and competent/capable of handling my case, I thought he seemed relatively compassionate as we ended the call he said "hang in there; we'll get you out of this!". We shall see with the outcome of the case. Although; After having worked with him for several months (it's been 7 months since the case was opened); I have, in-fact, experienced a slightlack of compassion & caring, some perceived rudeness and an all-around disinterest in my opinion/statement, etc. - I am trying to chalk it up to my intensity surrounding the situation and charged emotions on my part. I am keeping my fingers crossed and a hopeful attitude that he will be successful in representing me and receive the outcome that I'm hoping for. I will update my review once my case is closed and my business with Mr. Janecki is completed. I do regret however (in any regard-not this one specifically) not doing more research prior to picking an attorney. Working with the SCPD, any court system, and God forbid; charges against you- it can be traumatic and overwhelming and because of that, I frantically picked the first person who came up on Google. SO; just as a suggestion for anyone involved in anything that goes to a judge, a district attorney, or a courtroom, (esp if you lack knowledge regarding your rights and how the system works): DO YOUR REAEARCH, do thorough research and make sure you find someone that's a good fit for you, your needs and the case at hand!! Good luck!

I reached out to Andrew for help on a speeding ticket for my son. Andrew responded quickly and took…read morethe time to explain how traffic court in Santa Cruz County is different from Santa Clara traffic court and why it would be too much of his time and my money to make financial sense for me. He offered to answer any follow up questions after I spoke to the court, which he did on the next day. He spent at least 20 minutes "pro bono" and helped me formulate a very specific game plan for my son and me. I would use him as my lawyer in a heartbeat if I had a matter where it made sense to get paid legal help. Thank you Andrew!

Jamyrson and I worked in the same juvenile court setting for many years. She shows up everyday and…read morehas tons of relevant experience in the Santa Cruz courtrooms. This personal knowledge and experience can't be overlooked. Certain Courts, Judges and many of the relevant players are all people too. The importance of a local attorney and an attorney with Jamyrson's experience and court rapport can't be understated. As I found myself in the need of someone to help with a current legal situation, there was only one person that came to mind. She answered her phone on one ring. Professional.

Jamyrson is an animal. She is one of the first attorneys I got in touch with and stood out amongst…read morethe others, tenfold. She is very busy but always made time for my questions. The legal system can be very stressful but Jamyrson kept things light and has a sense of humor which helped keeping stress levels down. Don't let her laid back approach fool you - she is so confident and knowledgeable in what she does and knows all the ins and outs of the overwhelming number of protocols/deadlines. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney or outcome, my case was somewhat minor but I feel she fought it as if everything was on the line. I couldn't be happier with Jamyrson, I just wish there was an option to give her 10 stars! She is a great person and an even better lawyer. Why are you still reading this? Hire Jamyrson already!
