In my 20s back in 2010 I was in a drinking and driving case and the highway patrol was trying to throw the book at me. I was also on probation too. It was a very sticky situation for me. I found Craig Sturm online and called him. Craig treated me well and was very helpful and honest since the first time I contacted him. I remember we went to my court hearing and through his connections and magic he got my sentence down to the minimum with the Judge. I remember everyone was shocked with the great results of my court case as I was. Other defendants were literary asking for Craig's card as we walked out. He really saved my life! That cross road in my life could have changed everything for me. Craig got me that second chance, and that's what you get when you hire this gentleman! Thank you again, Craig. Sincerely, David read more

my experience with this lawyer was very bad. I handed him $10,000 and very little was said in court it was just going to court showing up and continuingfor two years years. Then at my pulmonary hearing he did not have any of my photographs or video to contrast what law-enforcement was saying I could not believe it $10,000 down the drain. read more

Craig Sturm is an amazing attorney. I was initially a client of his partner Jon Artz who unfortunately passed from covid. Mr. Sturm took on my case (i didnt know until last week when we finally landed a deal we wanted) PRO BONO! I paid Mr. Artz but that was amazing to learn at the end. He worked very hard... filing motions, etc. To find what I was looking for! And Linda his assistant is always there to answer the phone and help ... sending emails and reminders! Its a great law firm I trust and would highly recommend! read more

Saved my life!! I got a DUI in 2017, and contacted Sturm Law. They were willing to work with me financially with a very reasonable payment arrangement that I could afford. Linda is the best!!!! They really helped with taking care of the DMV to keep my license active as long as possible and keeping the suspension as short as possible. I am a military veteran, so they helped me qualify for a program that allows veterans complete a rehabilitation program and once completed dismiss the charge. I completed my program and graduated Oct 2019 and the charges were dropped so no DUI on my record! Sturm Law was with me every step of the way. I got the DUI in Orange County, CA and moved to Las Vegas, and they represented me in 95% of the times I was scheduled to appear in court. I have a family and children, full time job, own a home and none of that was jeopardized! I've never had or needed a lawyer and didn't know what to expect, but calling Sturm Law was one of the best decisions I've ever made!!! read more

Some years back, I was in need of representation for a case I was involved in. I talked to various attorneys and ended up going with Sturm Law. When discussing my case with Ms. Linda Gavilan, I was provided clear explanations of my options and a detailed overview of what the process would be like. All of my questions were answered in a timely manner and Craig Sturm was friendly and ensured the proceedings were smooth. I would highly recommend hiring Sturm Law team for any legal matters. read more

Being new to the city and after calling around different lawyers, I came across Sturm Law and team. Upon speaking with Linda I knew this was the law firm to go with and the right fit. She explained the process clearly and diligently and answered all my questions before being a client. The amount of knowledge and insight Linda and team have on the subject helped me understand the entire process from beginning to end. I could rest easy knowing I understood the process and they would work on my behalf to ensure the best possible outcome for my case. I highly recommend! Linda is the best! Gold star! Thank you Linda and Craig for your time and your help! read more

So far, I only had dealings with Linda Gavilian, the legal administrator. Linda is a very professional Admin. She took care of my legal issue with great patience. She knows the law, forms and statutes. Great communicator and very poised. I was surprised by her friendly demeanor and assertiveness. I highly recommend the firm and its employees. Very professional and hardly any wait to see them. Highly skilled people with people skills that seem to otherwise absent with other firms I have had dealings with. Thank you, Linda read more

After calling a handful of different lawyers, the office of Craig Sturm was the only one who made me feel comfortable and offered an excellent payment plan to help me during this difficult and scary time in my life. Linda was beyond amazing! Her phone consultations and in person meeting helped me understand the the entire process from start to finish! I cannot recommend this office enough in helping me through this hard life lesson. Thank you Linda and Craig so much for all of your help! read more

After calling multiple law firms I'm so happy that I chose to work with the Artz & Sturm law group! Craig & Linda were the perfect team that I needed at this tough time! Linda guided me through the whole DUI process, what to expect, was there every time I had a question or just needed someone to talk to for reassurance. Craig showed how much he cared and fought his best for me. Despite being over twice the legal limit Craig was able to help build my case and get me a wet reckless. I can't thank him and his team enough. read more

I couldn't be more happy with sturm law. When I got arrested my wife and family were in panic until a friend gave us sturms contact info. They have a great team with alot of good knowledge. Let me tell you, Linda became my wife's savior, she always answered the phone or text, she was by my wife's side through the whole process. The pi was awesome I owe them my life. I went from fighting 25 to life to being released from custody asap thanks to this great group. read more

All I can say is WOW!!! I can't believe I don't have a DUI on my record!! I pretty much had lost all hope when it came down to my driving record, but after the explanation and knowledge this firm gave me, I was relieved. Linda was great. She was very detailed on how the court system works, and made me feel I had already won the case! Craig being a lawyer, I thought he would be very intimidating and hard to talk to, but was everything but! I recommend calling for a consultation - you have nothing to lose! Trust me!! read more

All I can say is hiring Strum Law was the best thing I could have done. The situation I was in could have turned out really bad for me, but thanks to my attorney Craig Strum and his paralegal Linda Gavilan the charges were dismissed. Through out the just over one year process I was consistently updated and reassured that my case was being handled with my best interest in mind. Needless to say that any legal situation can be stressful but strum law did a great job easing my mind and answering my hundreds of questions. I never had to go court personally thankfully and when the case was eventually dismissed Mr. Strum called me personally to let me know which was both appreciated and relieving. I hope I never need a lawyer again but if I did I'd call them. Thank you! read more

Forever Grateful !!! When our son was arrested for DUI, and us living in New Jersey, we knew he would need a good lawyer. Through a family member with business ties in California, we were referred to Craig Sturm. Throughout a long and difficult case, with many unforeseen surprises, Craig and his staff (Linda and Kenia are absolutely wonderful!) kept us informed, explained the various problems and options, and were able to obtain a very fair and favorable outcome. Because of Craig and his team, our son has a path that will allow for him to learn a very valuable lesson, and be able to put this difficult part of his life in the past. THEY ARE THE BEST !!!! read more

Very happy with the level of service I received from Mr. Sturm, Linda and the rest of the team. A few hiccups aside, I believe they got me the best possible outcome for my case and I will be forever greatful. I really felt like they had a genuine interest in the outcome and my wellbeing. Thank you for everything you've done. read more

Let me start off by saying Linda is AMAZING!!!!! She made this process so much easier and answered all questions I had. My initial thoughts and feelings where thinking my life was over with a DUI. I was so glad that i was able to have constant communication with Linda as she was always very reassuring of possible outcomes. She was very knowledgeable and resourceful. I cannot day enough about Linda! She definitely helped make this a smooth and comfortable process!! Sturm Law really provided all the assistance and patience throughout the questions, regardless of all the questions I had. Mr. Sturm remained very patient and was very reassuring throughout the process, even after it took longer than what was initially expected. He definitely tries to get his clients the best outcome possible!! I would definitely recommend Sturm!! read more

I got pulled over for DUI back in 2015, by some stroke of luck i found Sturm Law. I set up a consultation with Linda, and she was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. She explained everything to me and I felt right away that I was in good hands. I had full confidence in Mr. Sturm representing me at my court appearances and fighting my case. And although I was still convicted, I felt no resentment towards Mr. Sturm, for I knew that he and his staff had gone above and beyond in representing my case. Now, 3 years later, they are again proving to be knowledgeable and professional in extending their services to help me fight for a dismissal and get this DUI expunged from my record. Thanks Craig Sturm, Linda Gavilan and all involved associates! read more

A lot of people say that lawyers are shady and insincere when it comes to criminal defense. Well the people who say that have never met Craig Sturm. Mr. Sturm and his team are the best legal defense that anyone could ask for. He works round the clock to not just defend but advocate for his clients. He always treated my family and I with the upmost respect and courtesy. His paralegal, Linda, was also very knowledgeable and answered any questions I had about my case. They never sugarcoated anything for me and they exceeded my expectations for the outcome of my case. I almost thought that I was the only client they had with the service I received. I can't thank Mr. Sturm and his team enough for all they did for me. If you need legal assistance don't hesitate to call Sturm Law. read more

Craig was great when it came to my DUI back in the summer of 2010. This was most trouble I had gotten into, and Craig made me feel comfortable that he knew what he was doing. This gave me a bit of piece of mind. He made it the whole court process so easy, I just had do whatever he told me, and that was that. He let me know exactly what was going on; if it wasn't necessary for me to appear in court, he was there representing me; and three years later, his office even calls me to let me know I'm eligible for expungement. He even got my punishment reduced a bit- I was able to choose to pay a lower court fee or require less time on my community service. I definitely would say to go with an attorney rather doing it alone, and Craig knows what he's doing. read more

Am so thankful that they handle my case and save me time. There's no words to describe how good and professional they are.

Attorney Craig Sturm was very helpful and professional. i'm very happy I made the decision to used him as my attorney. He kept me fully updated on my case and explained every detail along the way. Very appreciative of his help. read more

Highly recommend! Due to his relationships, experience and expertise, Mr. Sturm was able to easily get me a MUCH better plea (as I wasn't able to afford to go to or to risk a trial). As a matter of fact, a Public Defender commented that it was an amazing accomplishment (I'm so glad I didn't go with the cheap public defender on this as I am CERTAIN they would not have even TRIED to achieve the results I received!). There were a few times that they were a little slow to get back to me and because they deal primarily by email only, you sometimes have to wait to hear. However I am very aware that they are very busy with other clients and I often requested communication that did not really require I have an immediate response. However I will say that if I sent a "gentle reminder" that I was waiting to hear, the response was very quick and very detailed (I know it's not easy to type detailed emails and it takes a lot of time but it was done!). Mr. Sturm also has an EXCELLENT staff who spent a lot of time helping me on my case as well and all were happy to answer unrelated questions I often had. Of course Mr. Sturm went with me to court when needed and he was outstanding... giving me great advice, letting me know what to expect and getting me SUPERIOR results. Thank you, Craig! And MUCHO thanks to L & M, too!! PS I hired Sturm Law in 2012 and I would most certainly hire them again.... although it's my hope & expectation that I will NEVER need to!!! read more

Attorney Sturm works magic in the courtroom. Not only has he helped me but I know he has helped my family members and countless others. I have first hand knowledge of Attorney Sturm getting cases reduced, dismissed and not-guilty verdicts. If you have a criminal case call him right away. His assistant Linda is great, she really gets it. read more

I'm so grateful to have discovered Craig Sturm. He was very professional and he did an excellent job representing me!

Mr. Sturm and his team did an exemplary job in preparation for my defense and keeping me well informed. Their commitment to my case and experience in cases similar, resulted in a favorable, outcome. Without hesitation, I recommend Sturm Law. read more

After several phone calls and research, I made the decision to hire Strum Law to represent me for one of the most difficult experiences of my life. Mr. Strum is a true professional, also very personable and trustworthy. The extended staff (Linda and Krissy) always kept me informed and they answered all of my questions, throughout several months of my ongoing case. My results are far better than I expected or even dreamed could be possible. I am eternally grateful and blessed to have had Strum Law represent me. I highly recommend Strum Law. read more

-My experience with Strum law has been great. Strum and his team are really professional is handling the case. Being the first time, I didn't know much. Strum team clearly explained the process. Strum personally appeared in court for all my hearing. In my case, due to impact on immigration , requested strum to drop or reduce the charges. He understood my situation and talked to stubborn prosecutor multiple times and eventually reduced the charges to reckless. It was very helpful. Thanks to the entire team. I would very much recommend anyone looking for attorney to help them through the tough situation. read more

Sturm Law helped me from start to finish of my DUI. Craig and his team are professional, responsive, and patient. I am very grateful for them and making this process as easy as possible. read more

I first found Craig in November 2012, when I received my first DUI in the worst area possible, OC County. I was helped immensely, kept my license, and only have to take a 3 month class and pay my fines! He got me out with the best case scenario for my situation! I then had an issue in August 2013, and a public drinking charge actually lost me my children. Long Beach and I had some scrapes, so they actually tried to lose me in the system and keep me in jail. Linda and Craig were there for me through all of it, showing up in court morning and afternoon each day until they found when I was getting pushed through. They were there! They got my bond waived when initially it was a no bail case and wanted to keep me in jail! NOT ONLY THAT, but they got my girls back with me! Long story short, after doing parenting classes and AA which Craig negotiated, my case was DISMISSED! My record is clean and I owe it ALL to Sturm Law Firm. There is no lawyer I'd rather see representing me in court. read more

Craig Sturm's Law firm is the best. They are truly honest and caring. One of his employees, her name is Linda, was very helpful and went out of her way to assist me. I didn't even hire him, unfortunately for me I hired another firm and they were like sharks and used scare tactics and lies. I ended up doing everything by myself with the help of Linda, from Sturm's office. I give them five stars. read more
