Compassionate & Kind "Walks Softly With A Big Stick" We…read morehighly recommend the legal services of Laina Chikhani. My husband was unexpectedly served with a temporary restraining order, and given a court date that conflicted with travel plans, as we would be out of the Country on that date. We were at a loss on how to proceed. We decided to search for an attorney. We contacted Laina and arranged a meeting. When we met with her we immediately felt comfortable. She was not only professional but very kind. She assured us that she would appear at court on the Restraining Order date. Which she promptly appeared and successfully requested that the court reschedule the hearing for a date after our return. This immediate action provided us with both relief and confidence during a very stressful situation. The allegations made against my husband were extremely serious and completely unfounded. Prior to the new hearing date, Laina advised us to prepare a detailed, chronological account of the events leading up to the restraining order, along with supporting exhibits. This guidance proved invaluable. Our submission clearly outlined the facts and demonstrated the lack of merit in the claims made against my husband. At the court hearing, the Judge asked the petitioner whether she had reviewed our response and supporting evidence. After questioning her further, and noting the seriousness of making such allegations, the Judge immediately dismissed the case and dropped all charges. We are deeply grateful for Laina's professionalism, sound legal strategy, and unwavering support throughout this process. Her knowledge, responsiveness and commitment to justice were evident every step of the way. We would not hesitate to recommend Laina to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated legal representation. Sincerely, George & Dawn

I can't praise Laina highly enough! Ever since that first phone call, Laina has gone above and…read morebeyond!! Our family was shocked and overwhelmed by the legal situation that required her services, and it was a long journey.

We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in need of a criminal defense attorney.

This public defender is an absolute disgrace to the legal profession. They might as well be a…read morecardboard cut out for all the effort and care they put into defending their clients. It's baffling how they manage to sleep at night. Knowing they are doing absolutely nothing to help their clients. They seem to have no concept of compassion or integrity, and it's sickening to see how they treat their clients like nothing more than a Burden. I wouldn't trust this public defender to defend a parking ticket, let alone a serious criminal case. It's clear that this public defender couldn't care less about the lives they are responsible for and should probably consider a career change, do yourself a favor and stay as far away from this excuse. For a legal professional is humanly possible? They are a waste of space in the courtroom.

I cannot thank Lamano Law enough for the outstanding work they did on my case. After being pulled…read moreover by CHP on the freeway and charged with a DUI, I was extremely worried about my future, especially because I hold a commercial driver's license. From the very beginning, the team at Lamano Law was professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. They handled every aspect of my case and provided excellent representation in court. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, my DUI charge was reduced to a wet reckless, which was a huge relief. I was placed on probation for two years, and once my probation was completed, Lamano Law successfully helped me get my case expunged. Most importantly, they helped protect my commercial driving license, which allowed me to continue working and supporting myself. Their dedication, communication, and results exceeded my expectations. If you are facing DUI charges and need a law firm that truly fights for its clients, I highly recommend Lamano Law. They made a difficult situation much more manageable and achieved an outcome I am incredibly grateful for.

Had a court date in three weeks and I needed a good lawyer for my arraignment date. I knew that this was only arraignment. And usually nothing happens except pleading guilty or not guilty. Well long story short. Andrew didn't just sit around and wait while the other lawyers would try and cut in front of him. The San Francisco court house is chaos! He made sure we were heard as soon as possibly. And I didn't have to wait for hrs. Like I would have had to do if I had a public defender. Well the case got dismissed. And Andrew is going to help do the expulsion also. Totally a class act lawyer! Thank you Andrew!

As much as I always liked and relied on Yelp, apparently in a situation where both your wellbeing…read moreand your future depends on skills, dedication, and honesty of that one professional who will help you getting your life back to normal - Yelp stars might be misleading here and there. Long story short - got the temporary restraining order back in December 2024, wonderful choice of direction some people choose to solve business disputes. I looked around and picked Andrew as my counsel. Nice and friendly interview, practicing family/civil law, plus more than a hundred 5-star reviews (for an attorney) -- what else do you need, right? Besides, having backups of texts, emails, paperwork going back for more than three years and reading through utterly ridiculous affidavit filed against me, I haven't had a single worry on my mind. Until the final hearing 15 months later. and... The most disappointing, hurtful, and insufferable element in the outcome of this case is not the adjudication but rather - Andrew's covert yet egregious abuse of my trust - "I really want you win. I'm doing my best to make it happen. I know you are the good guy here" yadayadayada. - his persistent lying and gaslighting about pretty much everything case-related. "Did you read my email? - Yes, sure! - Ok, which point do you prefer? - Oh, I don't know yet, I'll read it again later". Of course he didn't read it because Mailtrack (the email tracking addon which shows whether an you sent got read or an attachment got opened, etc) I finally installed in Gmail just to see what's going on, it showed "not read yet" - he would open an email in question five to ten minutes after a nudge yet pay no attention to the attachments as if the evidence documents attached were the least of your concern (that turned to be the case after all). - his flagrant lack of even a modicum of professional integrity - he didn't pay attention to anything happening with my case, facing a rather aggressive counsel on the opposite side who's been bombarding me with the delays, contempts, motions this and motions that - he just attended hearings and gaslighted me about "there's nothing we can do here" - he constantly failed to even let me know about the new court documents filed by the opposing party - I had to set a reminder/alarm for myself to check the case log via court's website on a daily basis just to make sure I won't miss the new filings. - he picked twelve pieces of evidence (primarily business convos related) out of more than 70 available (one-on-one communications disproving each allegation one after another), told me I don't need witnesses, disregarded testimonies of witnesses on the opposite side, yeah.... - his lack of responsibility and preparedness illustrated by "I have no idea what's going on here" conduct in the courtroom where the commissioner felt compelled to raise a few objections herself to stop opposing counsel's inappropriate line of questioning. He was peacefully staring at the ceiling meanwhile. - his lack of self-reflection in regard to his mistakes or mostly shortcomings - he prefers to blame it all on everybody else around: petitioner, opposing counsel, judge, weather, and me of course (apparently I was too nervous and yet he had full list of my medical conditions and medications but didn't bother informing the commissioner about it). - his "it's your problem" attitude which became clearly evident when you failed to mumble out a single word to explain the reasoning for my remote participation (which has angered the judge beyond belief) at first evidentiary hearing, My mother had a stroke two days prior and after spending ~ 40 sleepless hours sitting in some waiting room at the CPMC Van Ness while she's been going through three separate cranial/brain surgeries. I kept him aware of each and every development, even the minor ones, sent him doctors' correspondence to show to the judge - he didn't bother until the hearing started and judge began yelling. - his complete obliviousness to opposing counsel's conduct and her complete disregard to attorney's candor rules. He hasn't even bothered to react to her literally screaming some despicable bs at the judge like "respondent's lying! He's not at any hospital! I know it because his car didn't leave the driveway in the last five days". Well, my car hasn't left the driveway for more than seven months - the battery's been dead ever since but.... rejoice! There's Uber and I did send even the freaking trips receipts. Nah, he didn't even bother to raise the question the source of info re: where my car is (not geoloc for sure, battery's _dead_ dead) - his unprofessional, childish tantrums where he would let himself to literally yell at me or ask me questions like "are you bipolar or is it OCD?" - and so on. To sum it up - if you are determined to snatch a life-destroying defeat from the jaws of victory (for the lack of better words) and pay a ton of $$$ for it, then Andrew is your top choice.
