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.

I truly cannot express how grateful I am for Mr. Kim and his assistant, Angie. From my first…read moreconsultation all the way to the end of the process -they were there to help every step of the way. They never made me feel bad for the dozens of questions I had and Mr. Kim always got back to me right away. They took what could have been a very stressful situation for me and turned it into a very positive experience. Because of them I have a new, fresh start. I would highly recommend their office. Mr. Kim has a plethora of knowledge in his field and made me feel very confident. He is the calm within the storm and I am so glad I chose him to represent me.

Very poor communication. The only time he'll talk to you is during the first meeting. Once you sign…read morethat contract and pay the retainer he will never speak to you politely again. If by any chance you are able to get a hold of him, he will yell at you "If you disagree, then we have a conflict of interest and I will keep your retainer but refuse to represent you." He is deeply deceptive and won't do anything to help you. He'll never update you on your case. He'll contact the other party's counsel without your authorization. He will cite precedent that has nothing to do with your case. He will run the case so poorly and miss so many deadlines that he will be rebuked by the court. You can do better for yourself.

Stay away at all costs if you want someone who cares. As you can see from the business reply below. Saying that they only care about profit was correct.

He spoke so quickly about things which I'm sure he repeats all the time, but were foreign to us. He didn't take the time to read or listen, and at one point intimated I was kind of stupid, when it was he who didn't read my question. After a settlement was reached and we received our settlement - and he his fee - we didn't hear from him again. It would have been professional of him to at least send an email to close things out, thank us for the business, ask if we had any other questions, etc., but I guess his payout wasn't enough for us to deserve that courtesy.
