The Leventhal Firm is one of incredible professionalism and simultaneous amiability. During my case they did a great job not only building me a defense and taking swift legal action, but keeping me assured that everything was going to work out in my favor, limiting my stress in such a stressful time. Once they had assured me of that, they showed me that I had absolutely 0 reason to doubt them. If you're looking for a firm that will fight for you as if their lives depend on your case and your case alone, the Leventhal Firm is an infinitely easy choice. read more

The Leventhal Firm is a "set it and forget it" operation. As a healthcare provider, it was my turn to learn even the best intentions can lead to being taken advantage of for someone else's gain... From start to finish... Their firm collected my evidence, organized the case presentation, talked to law enforcement exclusively and provided peace of mind in a time of dread and confusion. In a case of "their word versus mine" I needed a team that would help clarify to the prosecutors these allegations were false before charges were brought. The case presented was strong, clear, and effective. Thank you, Leventhal firm. I am grateful for the peace of mind you returned to my life. read more

This is the most important recommendation I have ever written. Tomorrow is New Years Eve, and like many of us, we look at the events of the year with reflection. I could not let the year close without sharing how the work of The Leventhal Firm literally saved my loved one's life. If the person reading this is facing a criminal situation anything close to what my most loved one was, then you are likely feeling more terrified than you have ever felt in your life, as you fight to save your loved one from being sent to prison for a very long time. If you are anything like I was, in this moment you might be feeling more overwhelmed, more confused, and more lost than you ever imagined you could feel. I am writing this to share with you that there is hope, there is a light, there is a chance, and that is with Andrew Leventhal, Jasmine Leventhal, and The Leventhal Firm. I now understand why in the movies they say your first phone call needs to be to your attorney. I did not have an attorney before my loved one was facing life-altering prison sentence based on serious criminal charges against them. I received two legal referrals from two different people who did not know each other. They both said, "Call Andrew. He is the best, if anyone can help save your loved one in this situation, it is him." And so, I called. And The Leventhal Law Firm fought for my loved one, they fought for me, they fought for a second chance. With honesty, integrity, transparency, and support beyond measure, the Leventhal Law Firm overdelivered on every counsel they gave. Andrew did not sugarcoat the seriousness of what we were facing. But he had the knowledge, expertise, proven client cases, and a personal plan for a path forward. He told my loved one and I that if we trusted him, if we did our part in the plan, then he would do his part, and he believed we could win our case. From the very second, I retained the Leventhal Firm, I had not only the best legal counsel, but a true team of legal support, with clearly defined next steps and actions. I was told this would not be a short process, but that if we did our part, then in time it would all be worth it. If you or a loved one are facing life-altering criminal case, Andrew Leventhal is who you need to call. I wish I truly had the words to express how he saved my loved one's life from years in prison. My loved one suffered from untreated mental health and addiction. As I type this is through real tears on the other side as directly because of The Leventhal Firms plan of action for our case, not only were we granted mental health diversion and a treatment plan, but my loved one is mentally the most healthy they have ever been... As I type this, they are coming up on two years sober, they are compliant with their medication, and most importantly, they are free. They have a future, and a second chance at a bright life ahead of them. This was all made possible directly because of Andrew, Jasmine, and The Leventhal Law Firm, and not only the legal counsel they provided, but connections they had to addiction and mental health resources. At our final court date, the preceding Judge actually stated that our case was one of the most moving cases he has presided over, giving full credit to Attorney Andrew for delivering one of the most in-depth, researched cases presented. I hope this testimony gives someone reading this real hope in what may be one of the scariest and a darkest of moments they are experiencing. If you only have one call, make sure it is to The Leventhal Firm. It is with the deepest gratitude that I give them my highest referral. They saved my loved one in more ways than just one. Andrew.... Jasmine.... Beyond what written words could ever truly express, thank you. read more

The Leventhal law firm is top notch. They never stop fighting for you. From the moment Andrew took my case I knew he was on my side and he would do everything in his power to advocate for me. My case drew on for almost a year, but Andrew's hard work and tenacity got it dismissed. Over that year the Leventhal firm never made me feel that my case wasn't important or that they were blowing me off. They gave me the attention and responded to my questions in a timely manner, that didn't add to my stress level, from an already stressful situation. When you are sitting in the court galley waiting for the judge to call your case, Andrew is the lawyer that everyone else wishes they hired. Don't be that person that didn't hire Andrew. Give yourself the best chance for a favorable outcome by hiring the Leventhal Firm. read more

If you are looking for a team of warriors that will defend you with swords of fire, then look no farther. I've never seen such a firm that fought for you as much as The Leventhal Firm. They helped me have a voice in this case. If it wasn't for them, I'm not sure I would had even won. My case was difficult since it was involving removing a protective order from my child. However after being told "no" after several accounts before having their counsel, they were able win the case by having the protective order removed and my Felony dismissed from my record. I can't even begin to write all the work in this case from them. From Yvonne & Jasmine corresponding with the DA to reaching out to character witness of my behalf. Then Andrew coming in well prepared and persistent into the court room ready to have a response to every thing the DA & Judge had to argue. Not only that but their compassion and reassurance during all this was above and beyond. If you are looking for an attorney, do not look any further. I repeat, do not look any further! read more

Andrew is one of the best lawyers I ever worked with. He his honest, fair, and really cares about his clients. I worked with his firm some years back where he was successful with my case. I had some questions on it a few years later and he called me right back to discuss, remembered me and all the details of my case, and was able to give me the answers I needed right then and there because he truly cares and want the best for his clients. I would recommend everyone to hire him, and personally I would never hire another defense attorney other than Andrew and his team. read more

Life is not always fair to you trust me now I know it. Blessed to have Andrew Leventhal and his firm on my side. He literally saved my reputation, job, and honor. I'll make it short. If you need defense you got it here 100% no doubt he got your back. Thank you Andrew God Bless you and your family! read more

Where to begin with Andrew and his entire team of life savers. Andrew has been the absolute best. I was facing probably one of the hardest times of my life dealing with something feom my past. I had no direction and was very fearful of the possibility of jail time. Andrew was referred to me by my partner who was so fortunate to have him as her attorney 10 years ago. When I spoke to Andrew on the phone I instantly felt the stress come off my shoulders. He is so knowledgeable, he is a fighter and he is compassionate. The day of my court date he came in there flashed a smile to a very tough DA and almost seemed like he made it all go away! He is that good. His rapport in that court room and his tenacity to fight for his clients are undeniable ! I want to thank Andrew and his entire staff for all they've done for me. They have not only helped me out during one of the hardest moments of my life but they have since then been able to help another family member during their run in with the law. Thank you Andrew for all your tireless help, work, and compassion. read more

Fortunately, I have never needed to use Andrew for representation. However, I have known Andrew for some time and can comment on his passion for helping his clients, which is why I am sharing this review. Andrew is dedicated to seeking justice for his clients that seek his representation. I have never seen a person so dedicated to their craft and making sure their client has a voice in the court room. Andrew's experience in the ability to defend criminal cases is very good, but what can't be taught in law school and in the court room is passion and pursuit for what he believes is right; and I believe this is what sets Andrew aside from the rest of the pack. If I ever had a friend, family member or acquaintance in the Southern California area that found themselves needing a defense; Andrew is the only person I would ever recommend. read more

No one really wants to be in a situation where they *have* to hire a lawyer, but life led us down a path where we had to hire an attorney for my mom, and we are SO, so happy that we worked with Andrew. We were referred to Andrew by our immigration attorney to help solve a traffic misdemeanor charge that could impact her pending immigration application. We were very stressed and scared, and Andrew took on all of our burdens! From the first call, to check-in calls, to emails with him and Jasmine (his very professional, warm, and responsive Director of Operations and wife!), to our final wrap up calls, Andrew and Jasmine were there for us. Andrew was professional and demonstrated his knowledge of criminal law and the court system. He was very clear about the steps we needed to take to resolve our case and made sure we were 100% on board with his advice. Most of all, he understood our concerns and fears and was so supportive in his communication (something we didn't expect from a lawyer, ha). He gained my mom's trust on day one! With his help, her charge was reduced to an infraction and ultimately dismissed - something Andrew committed to from the first call. We could not recommend The Leventhal Firm more! read more

I hired Andrew Leventhal to represent a family member against a misdemeanor DUI charge and in related proceedings before the DMV. Andrew did a fantastic job on both accounts. He negotiated a deal that got the criminal charges dismissed with nothing more than traffic school, and he even argued the DMV into not suspending the driver's license for a year (which is normally mandatory under the circumstances). He and his firm were communicative and responsive throughout the entire process, which took several months as the DMV kept delaying the hearing. Andrew Leventhal hit the ball out of the park. If you need a criminal defense attorney, look no further read more

I know Andrew professionally. I know him to be a top advocate for his clients and extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the law. I have referred many clients to him including my own family members who have nothing but great things to say about him. I would not hesitate to use Andrew as my own attorney if I ever needed to. He is top-notch. read more

While I am not a client or an attorney myself, I come from a family of attorneys from my father down to my youngest niece. My entire life I have been trained to spot an excellent attorney and I have seen that again and again with Andrew Leventhal. Without revealing his clients identities, Mr. Leventhal discusses his cases on social media to teach the general public about criminal defense law. After 6 years of hearing Andrew Leventhal make his arguments and discuss the facts, not only have I learned a lot about criminal defense law, when I look at what he is discussing through the lens of a juror I can honestly say after hearing his arguments, in every single situation I would vote to not convict. Andrew's passion for helping his clients and knowledge of the law is unbeatable.  If you are in the situation to need a criminal defense attorney there is none better than Andrew Leventhal. read more

Andrew and his team of attorneys were nothing short of supportive, strong, experienced, and highly qualified to help me take on a legal battle that I never expected to face. From the very first meeting I knew I made the right decision in retaining The Leventhal Firm. Andrew and his team were not only reassuring, they were always there to answer questions, offer guidance, explain the process in detail, and show-up when I needed them the most. Facing charges when you are being falsely accused is an extremely difficult and stressful situation to be in, you must have a team of lawyers that truly know what they are doing and make you feel like you are their only client - that is what I found in The Leventhal Firm. They fought with passion and conviction, caring about me and my family every step of the way. Thank you to Andrew, Yvonne, and team for all that you were able to accomplish on my behalf, you are an amazing team. read more

I contacted Andrew Leventhal and his team under pretty extreme duress. From the very first consultation Andrew laid out a clear strategy with regards to my case and also gave me some critical life changing advice (which I thankfully took). The Leventhal Firm did all the heavy lifting in my case which allowed me to put all my personal focus where it was needed most. Working with the entire team was incredibly easy, smooth, and professional. Andrew's legal expertise is fantastic and his knowledge of the law directly led to a resolution in my case that I would consider a "best case scenario". I'm incredibly thankful to Andrew and his team and I highly recommend them. read more

Where do I start? At the very beginning, shall we? Due to a bad snap judgement, I found myself in what seemed to be an awful entanglement with the law. As someone who has lived in this country for 27 years without ever getting in any trouble with the law, I was lost and a little frightened. I was referred to Andrew Leventhal by another attorney. When I called Andrew on the same day, and just over the phone, Andrew analyzed my situation very clearly and what options I would be staring at in the days ahead. Even over the phone, I heard a person who actually loves his job. When I met him in person the next day, I brought my husband with me. Now my husband is an attorney, so it was a little bit of one professional evaluating another professional in the industry. At our in-person meeting, Andrew again explained clearly and concisely what our options were, when and how he would tackle the case, exactly how much his retainer would be, and exactly what the retainer would cover. Andrew also did not make any far-fetched promises either. Amazingly enough, his demeanor was reassuring and warm, which is so unlike the grouchy lawyers who've been soaked in criminal law for too long. Halfway through the meeting, we retained Andrew as our criminal defense attorney. In the following 2 months, we checked in on a weekly basis. Yvonne, Andrew's partner, always wrote back the same day. He's the Fighter, and she's the Cleric, and they seem to work together as smooth as butter. I never felt like I had any difficulty reaching either of them. I've had my days of mild panic, but I felt reassured because I knew Andrew and Yvonne were fighting on my behalf. About 2 months after we first hired Andrew and Yvonne (and their crew), I got the victory phone call from Andrew literally in the nick of time. My family is in a much better position in our near future thanks to the hard work that Andrew and Yvonne have done. If anyone I know is ever in the kind of trouble that falls into Andrew and Yvonne's specialty, I'll be the first one to pass along their business cards. read more

I have a restaurant in BeverlyHills. I got a lawsuit again. I just hired this Lawyer Andrew Leventhal. He is changing over $850. But he didn't answer the my phone calls about 5 times. He is lazy and slow. I talked with this lawyer and I was threatened. I start thinking back to Japan eventually. read more

I had an Intox in Public case and a lot was riding on this case- past probation, past history of DUI, my employment was on the line. I needed it dismissed. And my first attorney was not fighting for this. His approach was to plea no contest and be done with it. When I told him I could not take a no contest that I needed a dismissal he said I needed to install the ankle alcohol ankle monitor for one year because this will help him win the case. I actually went to the company and tried on the ankle bracelets. But my gut told me not to go through with it and to find a new attorney. I found Andrew Leventhal. I was in a bad place I was feeling real low and Andrew assured me he would fight for me. Unbelievably today he won my case. I am very thankful to God that I found Andrew and that he went to battle for me. Very supportive and very understanding guy. I am very grateful. read more

Andrew is the best attorney I have ever worked with. When I was falsely accused of domestic violence, I was scared for my life and for my future. Andrew and his firm made me feel calm and comfortable throughout the entire process. His knowledge of the law is unmatched and the district attorney had no chance. Criminal defense is no joke, if you are accused and charged, your life will definitely change for the worst. Don't take any chances with other attorneys who may be able to get it done, Andrew can and will get it done and win! read more

Excellent attorneys! I highly recommend. Yvonne and Andrew were professional, knowledgeable, and got the job done for a reasonable fee.

It was a pleasure working with Andrew and Yvonne. They were helpful in all aspects and very reassuring. They took charge of the case and did not bother me with minuscule and unimportant details. Most importantly they kept the stress level down until they had a deal on the table. In fact it was not till the end that I found out how much BS Andrew had to deal with from the DA and how many deals he turned down. I would highly recommend Andrew and Yvonne for anyone's defense team. read more

Andrew Leventhal is so passionate about his work and his clients, I would not hesitate to hire him myself if I needed a criminal defense attorney. You can tell he loves what he does for a living and is always putting his clients best interest as a top priority. Andrew is a great asset to the legal community! read more

I had the pleasure of being represented by Andrew years ago when he was a public defender in Pasadena. I had no idea who I was given or what he was capable of but let me tell you back then he was just as passionate, hard working, and non judgmental as he is now. Unfortunately, I had to call Andrew to save the day again!! Now, its 10 years later and I was facing a D.A. in Pasadena that was literally the least compassionate and not to mention was just out for blood. Every single person that went before not only got a tongue lashing but also got no break from her at all. Marlene Sanchez is her name and trust me when I say you don't just need a lawyer, YOU NEED ANDREW. I had tried to face her by my lonesome but as I went to each court date something changed from court date to court date. The public defenders were a far cry from public defender I was granted when Andrew was around. First it was community service. The next court date, I didn't have enough hours completed so, I made sure at my next date I had more than enough. So here I go with my "more than enough" hours and she tells me she has to reconsider my community service because of something she just found in my file! I had had 4-5 court dates prior, not once was there an issue. My public defender which had changed every time I was in court had no idea what has going on. No one would listen to me, no one would check the court reporters transcript, no one took notes, everyone blamed me for their mistakes. That day I called Andrew. I explained my situation and he handled everything for me. I swear, when he walked in the courtroom the DA lit up like she had just seen JESUS. Every other attorney in the hallway kept telling me how great my lawyer was and how he was the best in California. I can't even tell you how much Andrew and The Leventhal Firm helped me, in the courtroom and OUT of the courtroom. He is an outstanding human being. Worth every single penny. read more

First of all I must say a huge THANK YOU to Andrew and Yvonne! When I think back to what was honestly a terrified first phone call months ago and feeling immensely lost in my whole situation I could only have dreamed for things to go the way they have. As I've said to them on the phone I am so appreciative and aware of the amount of work that went into my case, which was complicated to say the least. They listened, gave advice and did such a huge amount of extra work with the Covid situation. It was daunting but as a client I felt safe and taken care of 100% It was expertise and ability that got the amazing outcome for me and I will be eternally grateful. read more

Andrew Leventhal is one of the best, most professional, honest, aggressive, genuinely straight up criminal defense attorneys anyone can have. He's truly passionate about what he does and he's a beast at what he does. Andrew thrives at the challenges no matter the difficulty and complexity when most any other attorney would buckle and throw in the towel. He's actually represented other BAR attorneys on criminal cases as well. Andrew's track record of success and wins speaks for itself! If you contract him, he'll work diligently to ensure the best outcome and he's very communicative throughout the process. If your case requires a private investigator, subpoena complex records, doctor's opinions, or whatever you need for your defense, he has the contacts to make it happen and he'll go out of his way ensure your case is a success. Andrew has been recognized as being a powerhouse super top-rated attorney as well. I won't discuss pricing as that varies on a case by case basis, but you won't be disappointed with the quality and personalized attention him and his stellar firm will provide. I have the utmost faith and respect for Andrew Leventhal and I would sincerely trust him with my life if my life ever depended on it. read more

We truly appreciate the legal help & support we got from Atty Andrew Leventhal & Yvonne Rodriguez. They are a great team because they genuinely cared for my son (their client). They meticulously reviewed, analyzed, planned and executed a defense for my son's case which yielded a successful outcome. We are very happy with our experience with this Law Office and I highly recommend them. read more

Andrew is an incredible lawyer - his legal knowledge, skill, passion and compassion is very unique. I was referred to Andrew by another well known and highly reputable attorney that used to prosecute real estate agents for decades. I lost my real estate license about 10 years ago because of a felony conviction that sent me to prison. The former prosecutor that referred me to Andrew told me that I needed to get this conviction dismissed in order to have a chance to get my real estate license back. He explained that Andrew would know what to do. I talked to other lawyers, but they didn't really know what they were doing. When I spoke to Andrew, it was clear that he knew exactly what to do. I hired him with confidence and he poured his heart and soul into preparing a petition to have my felony conviction dismissed. Andrew did it! He got my conviction dismissed, and referred me back to the former real estate prosecutor to help me apply for reinstatement. I am so grateful to have met Andrew. He is a special lawyer and a very good, honest man. Worth every penny read more

Exceptional in all aspects. I went to Andrew and the Leventhal Firm over a year ago in need of legal expertise. Andrew was straightforward and kind from the start he told me where they would start and as things progressed he would keep me informed. Andrew and Yvonne are blessings they fought hard from the start and there persistence and dedication won in the end. Over a year with hundreds of communications and hundreds of hurdles and delays later Andrew and Yvonne kept me in the loop and handled everything in a brilliant matter they literally altered my life for the better. They truly care and are wonderful people and deserving of the highest praises I have to offer. Thank you to Andrew, Yvonne, and the entire Leventhal firm I will be forever grateful to your dedication and amazing work. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Andrew and his team. I had been scouting attorneys for my brother as he had been arrested and charged with a domestic violence offense. I wanted to ensure that my brother had the best of the best defending him in Court for a crime he was falsely accused of, and the best is certainly what we got. Andrew is experienced, talented, and knows the ins and outs of each and every Court he steps into. He exudes confidence both in and out of the courtroom and speaks passionately on behalf of his clients. Furthermore, he actually cares about the well-being of his clients. His genuine concern and care for my brother, his livelihood and the outcome of his case were very apparent throughout the entire process. He walked my brother through every aspect of the procedural process and made sure he understood everything that was happening. He has a passion for justice and fought tooth and nail without backing down for my brother; his case resulted in a complete dismissal and we could not have done it without him. His associate Yvonne was also fantastic in keeping myself and our family updated with the happenings in his case. Anytime I called with questions she was happy to take time and talk with me and was very knowledgeable about the proceedings. Andrew is an extremely remarkable lawyer and I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer. read more
