    NOBODY likes being in court, it gives you a bad feeling like what am I going to do? Yeah, you get a…read morepublic defender but they leave you feeling like is that really the best you can do for me? If you ever feel like that I HIGHLY recommend calling them and talking/meeting with Roland Soltesz! I called their office for a consult and I was met with Mr. Soltesz, he was VERY nice and made me feel like I wasn't alone and kind of lifted this heavy burden off my shoulders. He talked to me about my situation and also gave me some advice to reassure my choices. Also, talked to me in ways it was relatable like a friend and gave me examples haha. He also gave me the best price in town compared to other offices. Don't take my word for it just go ahead and call around. I found this office by doing a google and yelp search of best attorneys around Monterey County and they were number 2. The number 1 person wanted to start 4k for misdemeanor cases... Mr. Soltesz even met me a second time after I got more files even for free as another consult. I can tell Mr. Soltesz was very genuine and wasn't all about the money only. He really does care for you and your situation and I really appreciate him for that. I even saw him at the courthouse and walked up to him to ask him one last time of all the questions I had and he took time to talk to me and reassure me of my options. Mr. Soltesz if you're reading this I REALLY appreciate all the time you took to talk to me out of your busy schedule and THANK YOU. Just know I've been referring people to you because I know they'll be in good hands with you.

    I consider myself incredibly fortunate that I found William Pernik…read more In a world where it often feels impossible to find an attorney who is both exceptionally skilled and genuinely cares about his clients, Pernik is the rare exception. From day one, he treated my case with the seriousness, attention, and strategic insight that you hope for but rarely see. He didn't just take my case -- he understood it. He understood me. He asked the right questions, caught details other attorneys had overlooked, and moved with a level of precision and professionalism that immediately gave me confidence. What impressed me most was that he balances brilliant legal ability with real humanity. He is calm, patient, direct, and honest -- no ego, no drama, just sharp legal work and steady guidance. At a time when I felt overwhelmed, he gave me clarity. At a time when I felt vulnerable, he gave me a plan. And at a time when I needed someone truly in my corner, he showed up 100%. Pernik is the kind of attorney who earns trust because he deserves it. He listens. He prepares. He anticipates. He fights smart. And he genuinely cares about the people he represents. If you're looking for an attorney who combines elite legal skill with integrity and compassion, you will not find better than William Pernik. I'm grateful for everything he's done, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who needs serious, competent, and committed legal representation.

    I throw away more than 6K going trough child custody battle…read more They charged me in advance like opening a savings account and you received a monthly statement of all deduction charged to your account. The statement is very funny. You will see descriptions like. Example MAY 13 calling the other party conversation for 30 mts cost $120 Send letter to the other party cost $80 Review documents from other party $200 Going for representation to court $800 Etc. And so on. He will connect with the other party lawyer to try to do the best to get in circles and make things longer to milking your account faster and ask for more deposits. I remembered making a second deposit and in more than 4 times being in court not even the last name of my child were changed. The arrangement for paying child support was exorbitant high. I didn't see a really interested on my needs. At the end I decided to dropped him off. Cut his services and represent my self on court. Because I knew what I wanted I was able to speak directly to the judge and the first thing I asked was my kids last name change it. Immediately the order was honored. Simple things that never got fixed with a lawyer firm. I definitely waste my money. Sometimes I even thinking to opening small claims asking for percentage of my money back because I pay for services that never accomplished anything and advance me nowhere on my case. That was my personal experience. Now I'm happier than before because even that I don't have 50/ 50 custody with my children I Decided to get along with the mother of my kids to prevent repercussions on them. I got to see them whatever I want. Spend quality time and my obligations are not expensive like when I had legal representation. I hope this help some folks out there to opening their eyes a soon as see how quickly their money starts going away for simple things like ( studying and reading the case today 30 pages. 1 hour studying... charged $250 ) Warm regards

    I highly recommend Mr. Christian Scott. he helped me out so much through out my custody and divorce…read morematters. He made me feel at ease every court date, because he represented me so well. At the end of my custody battle he worked hard and was Granted everything I asked for. Christian, thank you so much for all you did for me.

From the moment you first speak to him to the moment he steps into the court room, he knows what is fair and he is committed to serving you to seek that result - he WON'T just mail it in! He approached my case with the utmost passion and commitment, you can trust that he will do everything in his power to protect your rights and achieve the best possible outcome for your case. Moreover, Mr. Dozier is not just a skilled attorney; he is also a genuinely stand-up person. His compassionate and caring approach to his clients makes the legal process less daunting. He approaches you with an "old school" honesty and candor that just doesn't seem to be around very often these days. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Dozier for anyone seeking an attorney in the Monterey area. His decades of experience, impeccable integrity, willingness to go the extra mile, and outstanding personal qualities make him an exceptional choice for legal representation.
