I went in to Elite Criminal Defense for a consultation about a year ago, having multiple open…read moremisdemeanor cases. I also had warrants, as I knew that I would be retaining private council versus using a public defender, but was trying to get my finances in order before retaining one. As such I didn't go for the arraignment and warrants were issued. I did go back and try and get on calendar, but only one of the warrants was retracted. My mother and I had a consultation with Manny Scribner. I would not dispute the positive things mentioned in other reviews about him. He is certainly outgoing, compassionate, and friendly. However, please do not be confused by the other reviews implying that he is a lawyer, or would be the one handling your case/representing you in court. It is, however, easy to understand why other reviewers, and you, yourself, during the meeting would believe him to be your potential lawyer. He represents himself as the person that would be handling your case. However, my mother noticed his business card said "Legal Administrator." When my mother questioned whether or not he was a lawyer and would be handling our case, he answered no to both questions. I asked who would be my lawyer and he could not tell me. He said me it could be one of three or four people and started naming names of people we had neither met or heard anything about, and said it's really whoever has time on their schedule. Manny is in fact the glorified "pitch man." Tells you that they can do whatever is necessary to get your life back on track, etc. He then asked for my mother's ID and debit card strangely, even though we had not agreed to pay anything and disappeared for about 5 minutes. When he returned, he told us the estimate for Elite's representation was $24,000 or $6,000 (!!!) per case. Again, these were MISDEMEANORS cases that were straightforward, cut and dry. I had a petty theft charge, a paraphernalia charge, 2 drug possession charges with trace amount of drugs found....these were not felonies or drug sales cases. There were no special circumstances or anything like that. They were very, very simple cut and dry that should be easily resolved with probation, deferred sentencing or dropped altogether. Given I did not have a record prior to these offenses. Jail time was not likely. We told Manny that we had another consultation with a lawyer and wasn't weren't gonna commit to anything however I knew from talking to others that had had some similar charges that the fee should be nowhere near double digits much less $24,000. He could tell that he was losing us so he disappeared again and brought back "the closer" who is an ACTUAL attorney - I forget his name, but asked us what's the hesitation? is it the price? I said well we have other meetings that we are going to take, but my mom interrupted and said yes it is the price. He then told us that if we signed right then and there, that they could give us a 50% discount but only if we didn't take other meetings and we signed before we left the office. That showed both of us how overpriced this firm really is. The lawyer proceeded to tell me that my life was in shambles. I had hit my rock bottom and that the only way out was by retaining their services so that they could bring me back and make me a respectable member of society again. I should mention that I am gainfully employed, making 6 figures and am certainly not at my rock bottom nor is/was my life in shambles. Maybe there are people whose confidence has been shaken by their legal troubles that might actually believe that BS and be shamed into retaining Elite's services, but we did not. I was offended by his characterization of me and my stature in society/life. All in all, it felt like a really bad used car salesman was talking to us. "Saying what can we do to get you in that car today?" Except in this case it was what can we do to extort money out of you for overpriced services? Needless to say, we did not retain their services. We later went to meet with the most respected defense attorney in San Diego, certainly by reputation and word of mouth, Roland Haddad. When I told him the quote that we were given, he said it is people/firms like that that give lawyers a bad name and why people think that we are all crooks. He was blown away by what they were going to charge us. He told us that no attorney should charge me anything more than $5,000 for my cases. He charged me $4,000, and I ended pleading guilty to one possession charge and received summary probation, which is a fantastic outcome, and certainly a much more favorable one than I had anticipated. Do yourself a favor: hire Roland Haddad or find a different defense attorney, preferably one that isn't part of the legal corporate churn, where you're randomly assigned to the attorney up on deck to take on a case. you shouldn't have to strain yourself financially to obtain competent legal representation.

It is most unfortunate that, after having placed our trust and time in them, my family was abandoned in our most vulnerable time of need. I initially contacted them because my wife had suffered, as a result of medical negligence, cardiac arrest while having a c-section. I was advised by them to not discuss the matter with any other firms, to stay in touch to provide updates on the case, and that, once my wife's medical records were available, further legal action could commence. We decided to kept faith, believing that they had our best interest at heart, and thus we followed all their instructions, diligently provided all requested information. In a reversal to their purported hard-working and tireless advocacy mantra, however, the firm decided to drop us and not take our case. It became evident to us that, because our case would have not provided as much money as they had hoped for, they decided to drop us. I can understand that they reserve the right to take on cases that will provide them an internally predetermined margin--after all, they run a business, not a charity. My problem, however, is with their disingenuous tactic to emotionally string you along, selling themselves as your faithful and indefatigable advocates, just to buy enough time to see how your medical case pans out, all the while consuming YOUR valuable time and betraying your trust. You played us well: shame on you!

I have been a client of Mulligan, Banham & Findley, and want to share my experience…read more I had been treating with a medical provider for 14 months when I was diagnosed with Stage 4 bladder cancer. All that time it was found that the cancer had been overlooked. I transferred straight away to another healthcare provider to get professional treatment. I researched multiple attorneys. The first four declined to pursue my case because of the California limit of $250,000. awards, but Jan Mulligan explained to me that she had handled many cases with this provider and how there are ways to increase the award amount for the best possible outcome. She took the time to listen, ask questions and did a deep dive into all aspects of my medical treatment and neglect. She worked tirelessly day, night, weekend - no matter, she had volumes of documents and successfully made the case. Jan, Elizabeth and their staff were always caring, warm, and considerate, taking into account the effect of my medical condition and stress coming from the past provider and their attorneys. It was taking a toll on my children, too. Jan mitigated that at every juncture. When the opposing attorneys took the low road, Jan was always on the high road. I appreciate the integrity demonstrated by her and the firm. The case resolved successfully, and she even linked me to a Special Needs Trust attorney to handle post-settlement issues. I couldn't recommend them more highly. KB

From the…read morebeginning, Mr. Greene guided us through my husband's case with professionalism, knowledge, and dedication, making the process as smooth and seamless as possible. We were first referred to him in 2018, when he represented us in seeking a reduction of a felony conviction. Because of his outstanding representation and expertise, the reduction was granted, and we were extremely grateful for the result. Several years later, in 2024, we contacted Mr. Greene again for assistance with terminating a registration requirement. He worked tirelessly on our behalf, and in 2026 he successfully obtained the court's approval to terminate the registration. Throughout the entire process, he remained attentive, helpful, and committed to achieving the best possible outcome. In our experience, having an excellent legal team can make all the difference. Dan Greene and the Sevens Legal team provided exceptional representation, and we are deeply thankful for their hard work and support. If you are facing a legal matter and need strong, reliable representation, I highly recommend Dan Greene and his entire team.

When my daughter was involved in a tragic motor vehicle accident that resulted in the death of a…read moremotorcyclist, our family found ourselves facing what we believed were completely unwarranted vehicular manslaughter charges. It was the most difficult and stressful experience we have ever endured, lasting over two and a half years. From day one, Jay Monico and the entire team at Sevens Legal stood beside us. We weren't looking for an attorney who would simply encourage a plea deal--we needed someone who would thoroughly investigate the facts, challenge the prosecution, and fight tirelessly for justice. Jay exceeded every expectation. The evidence showed that the motorcyclist was allegedly racing at an extremely high speed on a city street and should not have been operating the motorcycle. Despite those facts, charges were still pursued against my daughter. Throughout the case, Jay remained steadfast, fearless, and completely committed to ensuring that the law--not emotion or public pressure--guided the proceedings. One of the things that impressed us most was Jay's willingness to stand his ground. He challenged the prosecution at every turn and never backed down when he believed the law was on our side. His persistence, meticulous preparation, and knowledge of evolving California case law ultimately helped secure a favorable outcome for my daughter after more than two and a half years of litigation. This case took an enormous emotional and financial toll on our family, but having Jay in our corner gave us confidence that someone was truly fighting for us every step of the way. We will always be grateful for his professionalism, integrity, and unwavering dedication. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney who genuinely cares about his clients, is exceptionally knowledgeable, and will fight relentlessly for the best possible outcome, I cannot recommend Jay Monico and Sevens Legal highly enough. I sincerely hope I never need a criminal defense attorney again, but if I--or anyone I care about--ever does, Jay Monico will be my very first call.

It seemed like everyone at the courthouse knew and respected him, and it gave me confidence that I had the right attorney by my side. During one of the most difficult times in my life, Marc helped turn what felt like a hopeless situation into a positive outcome. Looking back, I realize that my own emotions and judgment could have led me to make poor decisions. Instead, I trusted Marc's experience. He never told me what I wanted to hear--he told me what I needed to hear. His advice was honest, practical, and based on years of experience, and following it made all the difference. When you're facing a legal battle, it's easy to assume the worst or think you know how your case should be handled. Marc has the wisdom and judgment to see beyond the emotions of the moment. If you listen to his guidance and trust his strategy, I truly believe your outcome will be far better than it would have been otherwise. I genuinely believe God has blessed Marc Geller with a special talent for practicing law. He uses that gift to help people when they are at their lowest, restoring hope, dignity, and justice when they need it most. Marc, thank you for everything you did for me and my family. Your integrity, wisdom, and dedication made an incredible difference in our lives. May God continue to bless you with many more years of health and success so you can keep helping those who need it most.

If I could give zero stars, I would…read more Working with Marc was an absolute nightmare. From the beginning, he made grand promises about what he could accomplish--things I now know were completely unrealistic, if not outright impossible. But of course, he had no problem taking money up front. After that? Silence. Missed deadlines, ignored emails, and a pattern of dodging responsibility. Every now and then he'd respond, usually with vague excuses or more empty reassurances. It was exhausting, frustrating, and ultimately fruitless. After months and months of this, I had no choice but to file a formal complaint with the California Bar Association. Only then did I finally receive a partial refund. In November 2024, Marc told me he was mailing the remainder of that refund. Guess what? It never arrived--and I haven't heard from him since. I've followed up repeatedly via phone and email, and he's completely ghosted me. Marc is unprofessional, unethical, and dishonest. He preys on people in vulnerable positions and vanishes once he's gotten what he wants. Please, don't make the same mistake I did. Stay far, far away.
