Outstanding Legal Representation - Highly Recommend! I cannot say enough good things about Michael Cardoza and The Cardoza Law Corporation. From the very beginning of my personal injury case, it was clear that I was in the hands of a knowledgeable, experienced, and highly skilled legal team. Mr. Cardoza and his staff were not only professional and responsive, but also truly compassionate and dedicated throughout the entire process. Their expertise in personal injury law, combined with a strategic and determined approach, led to a successful outcome in my case--and I always felt informed and supported every step of the way. They went above and beyond to advocate for my rights, and their diligence and hard work made all the difference. I'm incredibly grateful for the peace of mind they've helped me achieve, and I wholeheartedly recommend The Cardoza Law Corporation to anyone in need of expert legal representation. Thank you again to Mr. Cardoza and staff. You've earned my deepest gratitude and highest recommendation. David L. Horn read more

I found The Cardoza Law Offices through a recommendation from a friends whose cousin is a lawyer in the Bay Area. I first met Jason, who handled my initial intake. Jason was exceptional in his communication skills throughout the long process of navigating a worrisome court case. He promptly returned any questions I had, whether by call or email, and he kept me updated on all developments in my case. His clear explanations helped me understand the legal aspects of my situation. The same thing can be said about Dani. Dani joined me in the courtroom on several occasions and exhibited professionalism in every interaction. Dani was always punctual for our meetings and court appearances, and always conducted herself with grace and confidence. Last but certainly not least, I had the pleasure of working with Michael. Seeing him work in the court room instilled me with confidence and a peace of mind, which are two of the most important things to posses when going through a stressful and anxiety ridden court case! I whole heartedly recommend the Cardoza Law Offices to anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer, you will not regret this decision! Sincerely, Jon C. read more

If you're looking for integrity, professionalism, honesty, and expertise Michael Cardoza is your man. I hired him for a family member. Michael and his entire office are amazing. Despite his many years of practice, and accolades he is down to earth, patient and explains things in the simplest ways. He is a top trial lawyer, highly respected by judges and colleagues, which is evident when he walks into the court room and takes command. He helped us through the most difficult time in our lives with compassion, diligence and a calm demeaner. Michael got us the best scenario we could have hoped for in court. I highly recommend the Cardoza Law Office. read more

They're both very fast at communicating and super friendly. Hopefully I don't ever have to come again but If I do im definitely going to them! Thank you again much appreciate yall!! read more

Very poor experience with this firm. Though the founder made very big promises at our initial meeting regarding the course that my case would likely take, he was unable to deliver on them. Also, though he assured me that he would be personally involved in the process, he handed it off to a paralegal and a couple junior associates, who did not really seem to know what they were doing. I would recommend that you find another law firm, unless you have a high profile case that will get Mr. Cardoza's attention. read more

I've been represented by Cardoza law offices for the past 14yrs. Every time I have gotten into trouble with the law I always call them, why?.... because I know I will get good results out of it. -First case I caught I got results beyond my expectation back in 2002. -In 2013 I caught a DUI case, results were good. -On Jan 2014 I caught another DUI once again I contacted them to represent me and I was extremely surprised of the outcome. Mr. Cardoza & his team worked their magic and got me a good deal!... As we all know every case is different, so don't go by what others say on here. ...If you cant do the time don't do the crime!..... Key thing in dealing with cases from my experience is TIME... don't get anxious and think they are not doing anything with your case, lawyers have other cases not just yours. That's what I have learned, by waiving time you are allowing the Cardoza team to get you a better deal!.... Somethings are worth waiting for... They have not only represented me but family members and friends as well, cases to where they were looking at yrs. of prison. The outcome of those cases were good. The team sat us down explained to us what challenges they faced and what they were working with. I HIGHLY recommend them if you get a criminal case. "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR" ...... so if your complaining about them charging you thousands of dollars then dont do the crime!... but I will say this.... Every penny I've spent with them has been well worth it!. I will for sure hire them again if needed! read more

I was introduced to the Cardozo Law firm in need of some time sensitive assistance and offer expertise in a process, which I had minimal understanding. They were able to coordinate with local resources to get things moving much faster than I anticipated. A process that usually takes quite some time was expedited when they were able to get things completed quickly and keep me Updated with progress on a regular basis. Jason and Jyothi were the two that I worked with the most and they were pleasant, professional and empathetic to the problem at hand. Everyone else in the office was professional and helpful. They surpassed my highest expectations for execution and personal service. Will be back to consult for any other legal services in the future. read more

My family and I have never been though a trial or interacted with the legal system ever. Cardoza and Jyoti patiently and thoroughly helped us all through this really difficult process and trying time. They showed us they cared and took the time to answer our questions. We are forever grateful to Michael and Jyoti for allowing my cousin to start his life over after clearing his name and acquitting him of all charges! I highly recommend them, thanks again!! read more

After hiring The Cardoza law firm, my family and I realized why they are considered the best in the Bay. Michael Cardoza and Jyoti Rehki were prepared for every meeting and court date. They were very supportive throughout the whole year and a half we worked with them and also helped keep my brother focused and on track during this rough time in his life. Would definitely recommend this law firm to anyone seeking not only great results but awesome support throughout the whole process! read more

There is not a better law firm out there. Jason and Jyoti are two of the most incredible people you will ever meet. This was my first trial of any kind and one of the hardest things I had ever faced. The only thing that brought me any peace and helped me make it through my case, was them. They were so genuine and caring, not only that, they helped me land a one in a million outcome and win! Case dismissed! Something I had never dreamed of or thought was possible. They walked me through everything since day one. Answered every question, explained everything they did, helped comfort me, coached me through it and stood by my side through it all, every second. They have a special place in my heart forever. They are incredible, professional, and truly operate at the highest standards of providing incredible legal advice and representing you. I am forever grateful. There are not enough stars on here to give them what they deserve. read more

I spoke with Michael on the phone recently and I feel comfortable that he's working in my best interest.

Lawsuits are no fun, especially if you're the one getting sued! We found the attorneys very knowlegeable, practical, and most importantly honest and caring. We felt that our attorneys always had our best interest at heart. They were experienced and efficient. They didn't rack up our hours unnecessarily. They didn't get caught up in dueling egos with the other side. They are a great one stop shop for all your legal needs. I also use them for contract review and advice on other matters. read more

Simply the best legal team in the Bay Area. A big thank you to Jackie and Micheal (and the rest of the team) for being prompt, honest, knowledgable and so helpful every step of the way. We have used their services on multiple occasions and we could not have been happier in each case. To those looking for any legal representation, the Cardoza Law firm should be your first and last stop. read more

Michael dis a fantastic job representing me in a series of legal challenges. He was straightforward, did not over promise, and was there for me the entire way! I would highly recommend him. read more

To the Cardoza Law Offices, It has taken me a long time to write this because no one really ever wants to think about it. Michael and Jason I really appreciate your help in resolving my problem. The staff will go way out of there way to assist you and give you the full attention in the matter you need. The welcoming feeling from the moment you walk into the office you will know you are in the right place. Cardoza Law Offices, I truly appreciate the help and support and it's staff who made it work. I would not have got this service from anywhere else. read more

Jacqueline Fagerline recently represented me in an issue with my former employer. She was very professional and returned emails and phone calls promptly. I really appreciated that. She also provided me with some very valuable advise on the issue she was handling. This is my first experience with her and this firm and I highly recommend. I would use their services again. read more

In late 2017, I was arrested for suspicion of DUI. I talked to Jason about my situation and he was very positive and professional. He went to work on the case immediately. Throughout the process, the office and especially Jason, kept me in the loop and stayed in contact with me at every step. At first I was in fear of going to jail, losing my job, and not being able to drive my kids to school, but Jason got me a temporary license, talked to my employer, and kept me out of jail. In fact, due to their superior knowledge in their practice and commitment to their clients, my charges were eventually dropped and I am now able to live free of worry. I highly recommend Jason and others at the Cardoza Law Offices. Plain and simple, they care and will do all they have to do in order to assist you and your needs. I will always be thankful to them. read more

I recently had several people recommend this firm because of their reputation for getting justice.. I had the unfortunate experience of dealing with Gabrielle, who was extremely helpful at first, but definitely changed her helpful demeanor the next day.. she became very rude, condescending and ultimately hung up on me.. very disappointed and disrespectful.. do not appreciate this behavior at all... good luck with them if you actually need help and want respect!! read more

This firm has been completely awesome; Michael and Jason are the best to work with. After having my first meeting with Michael, I felt a lot less worried about my situation. My case eventually got dropped and I really can't thank the team at Cardoza Law Offices enough! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

I don't even know where to start! Jason and Michael took amazing care of me, the pricing was extremely reasonable for the quality of representation. I was very nervous before I hired them, after my first meeting with Jason I was instantly relieved. He took a personal interest in my case, gave me real straightforward answers and gave me all the information I needed to proceed. If I had any doubts before, I knew the best choice I had was to hire them. Boy was i right! Michael took wonderful care of me in court. I was shocked, he was so eloquent and I couldn't believe how much better off i was with him as my lawyer. If you're at all doubting yourself, do yourself a favor and hire them. They're extremely reasonable, and easy to work with as far as payment and pricing goes, and you will be able to leave assured that they will do everything in their power to take care of you. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thank you Jason and Michael!!! read more

Michael Cardoza and his law firm have served my family twice with the last few years. In both instances, Michael was very personally involved in following what was going on. I was suing for a discrimination violation in the first situation and in the second, I had The Cardoza Law Firm defending a relative in a minor criminal offense. In each situation, the options were very clearly explained. Each case had multiple options.One of the options we talked about, was to not even use his firm. The probability of the outcomes were evaluated and potential legal costs offered. In both situations, I examined costs with other law firms, both large and small. Cardoza's prices although not the very lowest, were clearly lower than any firm large or small representing the same type, amount, and quality of service. I was very pleased with the firm's representation in both instances. No surprises in the mediation or court room, and no hidden fees. The lawyers who accompanied us into court were not only extremely qualified, but went out of their way to get a positive decision. Throughout the process, I had questions answered within 24 hours, unless over a weekend, and mostly sooner. His office help was courteous and reponsive. I would reccommend The Cardoza Law Firm to any friend or family member. it is a professional, knowledgeable, as well as a cost performing organization. 5 Stars! read more

Four years ago my son was involved in a very serious motorcycle accident that involved a police pursuit, ultimately leading to a long and tedious journey through the court system. The resulting situation involved multiple counties and various judges to get the most ideal outcome possible. Michael Cardoza and everyone at the law firm was there for this entire process from the very beginning until the absolute end. It is hard to even express in words my gratitude for their professionalism and minute attention to detail. The serious initial offense has been reduced to a misdemeanor allowing for a very bright future to once again become a real possibility for my son. He has since graduated with a bachelor of fine arts degree in psychology from a prestigious UC campus and the choice once more to fully pursue a lifelong career in a profession he is deeply passionate about. None of this could be possible without having reached out to Cardoza Law Offices during the beginning of this time of crisis! Special thanks to Michael Cardoza, Jyoti Rekhi, and to the entire legal team that was made available throughout the process. Lastly, gratitude and heartfelt thanks to Jason Louie, who seemingly was ever present for each unique obstacle that needed to be overcome and also took the time to explain details efficiently and clearly so that the stress of each situation was always, always, greatly reduced. Thanks again to everyone, God bless. read more

Dear Michael-It's hard to put into words the feeling I had when my mom called me and told me this was all over. I felt relieved and incredibly grateful to you and your entire law team. Words cannot express what it meant to me that you took my small case, gave me such a reasonable price, and handled it personally with such care and professionalism. You and your team had my back and were on top of every detail of my case from the beginning. Meeting with CPS was a new low point in my life and filled me with such fear and anxiety. Having your presence there was such a blessing and I know without a doubt things would have turned out very differently without you there. I'm so grateful Jason warned us not to go without you! Your whole team is amazing and they all gave me such great advice and made me feel like a priority. You all really know your stuff and your clients are so lucky to have you representing them! I really appreciated you taking care of this so quickly for us, especially with the DA. There are no words. This was a life changing experience and one that we learned a lot from. We are so happy things turned out the way they did with your expertise and help. I hope to God I never ever need your services again (no offense), but what a comfort to know when life's storms hit there is someone like you with such a big heart and wealth of knowledge and experience to save the day. You are officially my hero! I hope my friends and family never need you either, but I will definitely refer you to everyone and anyone should a crisis arise. From that very first day in your office you were able to put things in perspective and put me at ease somehow, miraculously making me laugh and forget I was in a criminal law office for a minute. I will never forget what you did for my family and I am deeply grateful this has ended for Grace's sake. She can go back to being a carefree kid again! Many thanks to you and your entire team!!!

Michael Cardoza and his team are amazing and I mean his entire team. They took real good care of me with my case from the first phone I made to them, Jason was great and so was Jyoti. Also they work out a payment plan if you are in a financial difficulty. Again all I have to say is WOW... Michael Cardoza and his team are very knowledgeable Lawyers... Thank you Cardoza Law Office again for taking care of my case. I will definitely will refer to anyone who needs a lawyer like this. read more

I don't recommend this lawyer at all. I hired this lawyer for a federal criminal case. This lawyer doesn't have knowledge or experience with federal criminal case. He couldn't answer many of my questions. I had to terminate him after a few weeks, then find someone else. With just few weeks and nothing was done, he charged me thousands of dollars. Please think carefully if you plan to hire him to help you. It'll be a big mistake to hire him. read more

I don't believe you could find a better law firm in Walnut Creek. They evaluated a civil litigation matter dealing with a partnership agreement for me, and they were one of only two that would take me on as a client with what I was beginning to think might be a hopeless case. I chose them because I was confident after talking that they would provide the best legal service choice. And I was right. I am a lawyer, though not a civil litigator, and they assisted me through a long difficult litigation. Whatever I did not know, they did. Their advice was spot on for every issue. They were on the phone working with me during last minute filings. I could not have done without them. I realize every case has its winning moments and losing moments, and clients can be frustrated if not angry with the results. But this firm hung in there with me through the whole process. I could not recommend them more highly. read more
