Save yourself some heartache, anxiety, and time--call Scott & have him represent you…read more Extremely, grateful to have found Scott. I would recommend him to anyone I know. I did A LOT of research and consultations when looking for a lawyer to help me with my case. I knew instantly after talking to Scott, that he was the one I wanted to represent me. What made my decision to go with Scott, is that you can tell that he's honest & concise. He did not give me any empty promises & prepared me for what my best/worst outcome could look like. It was clear from the start that he truly understood my values to have the best outcome while also being mindful of protecting my family and avoiding unnecessary pain or conflict. Seriously, thank heaven/god/universe, that I made the right choice in having Scott as my lawyer! I got the best outcome because of him. He handled my case with professionalism and integrity. Throughout the process, he was consistently responsive and informative--something I didn't realized how much I needed until I experienced it. He was extremely patient with me, always taking the time to answer my many questions, even when they were repeated. Thank you, thank you Scott!!

I can't say enough good things about Scott. From day one, he was straight with me, explained…read moreeverything clearly, and never made me feel like just another case number. What really stood out was how much he genuinely seemed to care. When you're dealing with legal trouble, you feel pretty alone, but Scott made me feel like everything would be okay. If you're in trouble and need someone who's not just good at their job but will actually have your back, Scott's your guy.

Came to them looking for help on my second DUI. Ended up serving jail time. A year and a half into my dui, finally had my last court date. I had already at this point completed most of my DUI program and a MADD course in addition to 150 hours of AA classes. Why is it that after going to court SO many times, the judge had no idea of my progress? They asked me to get a character reference letter, which I did from a friend at LAPD, which was pointless since no one ever read it. They pushed me to plead guilty when I didn't want to, just because they didn't want to take it to trial. And now this is on my record when it shouldn't be. I had the IID Breathalyzer installed in my car for a year per the DMV, the attorneys here stated that the court would likely require it for a year too but that the time I had it in my car for the dmv would transfer to the court time, wrong. I just had to have it installed for ANOTHER year. So IID for 2 years, 90 days of jail time, probation for 5 years, suspended license for 2 years, and at least $20k in fees. The attorneys told me IID for 1 year, only couple days of jail time and a suspended license for 6 months, all were wrong, after pushing me to plead guilty when I didn't want to. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! I would have done a better job representing myself.

To my stupidity i went with some attorney based in San Diego and it was the biggest mistake until I…read morefound H LAW GROUP , man , no kidding but seriously, they are the only people I enjoy paying money for , SMOOTH , VERY VERY VERY VERY WELL ORGANIZED , RESPECTFUL AND RESPECTABLE REPUTATION, they delivered a results with so much success to my case , thank you so much ashley and the rest of the amazing team , LOVE YOU GUYS ALL

I called Mr. Christian Kim for a consultation regarding a legal matter, and I found him to be very…read moreattentive, caring, and professional. He took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and answered all of my questions. He also provided a clear understanding of how he believed the case would likely proceed. I truly appreciate the time and attention he gave to my situation. I highly recommend him.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! - Reprehensible, vile, purely self serving with the goal of gas-lighting…read morewhile maintaining no regard nor remorse for clients. It seems that most fall for the trap unknowingly so. In doing a deep dive AFTER hiring Mr. Kim and based on the divergence of his persona from pre-to-post retainer, I was certain I'd been fooled. My initial case was open and shut, very simple as instructed by family in law who practice outside of SoCal. Soon after hiring Mr. Kim I was in an unfortunate circumstance where I was in legal cross-hairs for a 2nd crime, false accusation by a one time acquaintance. From the time Mr. Kim was hired his somewhat light demeanor and easy-breezy attitude quickly evolved into an indifferent, callous, money hungry and belligerent clear one-man operation. I was treated like I was a perceived criminal of sorts who went out and: "picked up a case..." in fact his exact words in that interaction: "I didn't tell you to go out and pick up a case!" Yelling, in a condescending tone of absolute contempt, when asking about the POSSIBILITY to merge the initial retainer with the 2nd case. The expectation to be spoken to in a tone of decency and general respect is not on the agenda once your retainer is paid. Up to this point he had done essentially NOTHING. Asking him to send the report of the initial case was an exercise of extreme patience and ongoing emails & calls which only by the 3rd email/call (roughly 1 month) I was finally able to get a copy of the police report; near any attorney sends WITHIN A FEW DAYS. My work experience as a consultant somewhat aligns with Mr. Kim; on the education front I hold two BS degrees and enough work experience that all of my clients always ask where I earned my MBA thanks to 15+ years experience. After finally receiving the report for the initial case on a routine follow-up Mr. Kim made me aware that I had a possible case / an accusation which may be filed by the DA (I was completely unaware of), and he'd read the report and was not willing to send unless I paid up (I asked several times and he would NOT send it). Feeling stuck, I logically inquired about process, my simple questions being how do we resolve this & does this need to go to trial? His response was emphatic and enthusiastic: "We absolutely need to go to trial, it will cost (x) to manage the case up to prelim, then once we get TO TRIAL, then it's (y) in addition, and I can get started right away!" Therefore my next Q - there is no way around going to trial then? His response a definitive and harsh: "NO! No way." It seemed thinking I was already "in" for the initial retainer therefore he can gaslight and then admonish and browbeat and give this impression he's saving the day while in some way playing both sides ie. sandbagging the trial early / playing "hardball" once the 2nd retainer has been paid. At this point the most logical question for you the reviewer, YOU, the person reading this review is to ask: "well, why would this reviewer be saying this / adding this review with this form of a conclusion?" because the case was in fact DISMISSED and did not need to go to trial, after this call I did in fact consult with 10 attorneys on this follow up case and not just 3 like the initial case, which, both cases were honestly open and shut and which both were in fact dismissed. All 10 of the attorneys said all the same thing that the 2nd case will very well be resolved without the need to get past prelim (one actually said it *might* to trial, but yet the accuser's story even in the report did not add up so still very unlikely to get there). Want a massive potential headache? wasted money? (my retainer for the initial case complete sunk cost / completely cut ties) browbeating and treated like a criminal once you've already paid your retainer regardless of the circumstances? Go with Mr. Kim and I wish you luck you're going to need it and your pocket book is going to need it, a helluva lot of it. *EDIT* (addt'l notes) : yes it was several years ago and only now was it finally resolved and closing the loop here, on the communication front, there are email records of your delayed communications. For anyone considering Mr. Kim, lots of luck to you.

I am SO glad I chose this law office to handle my DUI case! I called after hours but Mr. Michael…read morePhillips took my call anyway for the free consultation. I was extremely nervous and still shaken up from the car accident that resulted in the DUI. He took a lot of time to explain to me what process to expect to happen, and the possible outcomes my case could have. I appreciated how straight-forward he was. Unlike other lawyers I had looked into, there were no scare tactics but also no sugar-coating or too-good-to-be-true promises. In other words, there was no sales pitch, just thorough, honest information. By the time I got off the phone I felt much more at ease and knew I would be in good hands. Everyone in the office was very friendly and helpful- I always got quick responses to my calls and emails, and the three times I visited the office, I was always greeted with kindness and a smile. Mr. Phillips also gave me great advice for handling the DMV, the alcohol classes, and my insurance- all things that he didn't have to do, but made my life infinitely easier and less confusing! Mr. William Duffy handled the case at the courthouse and actually made it a really easy and relatively stress-free experience (as stress-free as a DUI hearing can be of course). He told me exactly what to expect, what to do, and where to go- even walking me to the different offices so I wouldn't have to wander around aimlessly trying to find the tiny signs for each office. He told me ahead of time that he had another cases to manage at other courtrooms but he always told me where he would be and how I could get a hold of him, and he was always there when it was necessary (in front of the judge, etc.). I feel like I got a pretty good deal considering my case involved an accident. Would the outcome have been different without hiring a lawyer? There's no way for me to know, but regardless, I'm glad I did. The peace of mind was worth it. I can't imagine the stress and anxiety I would have gone through without having such a reliable and communicative team on my side. I hope none of my friends ever find themselves in my situation but if they do, I will absolutely recommend this law office!
