I was in crisis on my case and the court people in Vista weren't able to show me the exact path to follow. My previous Attorney was not at all helpful. It was even difficult to arrange a telephonic conversation with him. I was stuck in Domestic Violence case from my husband and consequences lead to my visa revocation. I received a notice from immigration to send certain original court documents and letters from DA (pertaining to DV) to USCIS for visa renewal and extension in within 30 days out of which I had already lost 15 days by going to court but not finding any way towards it. And i wasn't able to obtain those docs from court as my case wasn't filed, however I am still under statue of limitation yet. It was getting extremely difficult for me to solve criminal and immigration issues at the same time. I was looking for good criminal defense lawyers around Vista court and contacted Christoph Law Offices. Attorney Nicholas W. Christoph listened to me patiently and advised me over phone as much as he could. I requested and insisted to arrange a consultation face to face and without wasting any time and considering my situation he let me meet him within 15 minutes. I was grateful for his appointment. He showed me the appropriate and correct way of getting the documents. He also corrected and cleared my doubts on the procedure that i got to know from court people. He gave me more information about how to obtain "Detention Only Certificate" from records Division. He himself placed a call to authorized people to get more specific information on the documents I can avail in my case. He even printed out information to guide me through. He explained me the vital differences : what happens when charges are not filed, charges dropped, charges filed and then dismissed etc. He clearly explained me the procedures to obtain related documents for visa processing from 'Records and ID division'. He also explained what letters usually DA can issue for such cases. His knowledge about his profession really made me more comfortable and relieved my stress. Although immigration was not his part of practice yet he listened and understood how critical situation I was in and how my criminal case was affecting my immigration status. I am very thankful for all his assistance, favors and help. I got all my required documents as he suggested and also my visa is extended. He was there when I really need faith in some attorney in this country which I have been for not more than a year. He didn't even charge me a single penny for his useful tips and legal advise. I must have consulted at least 20 attorneys, when initially this incident happened and I came across a few of them who weren't sincere but only saw me as a client. a helpless woman who can earn them their fees. I am highly contented to have consulted Attorney Nicholas W. Christoph. He is one of the best, assertive and completely dedicated to his profession. Thank you for you valuable advise. I will have no second thought to choose you again on my case any-day if needed. read more

I made a bad choice in my life and was at risk of getting a terrible DUI. While feeling sorry for myself, someone suggested getting an attorney. I didn't initially even entertain the idea because I have difficulty asking for help. I searched over all the DUI attorneys and read all the reviews very carefully. After spending a while it seemed that Christoph Law Offices would be the best. The office convenient and close to the courthouse so you know the office is committed to helping those that need to be defended. I have really good intentions to live a better life so after my family and I talked to him, we agreed the first day to hire him as our attorney. He is thoughtful and educated. He is concerned and to the point. He is very experienced, disciplined, and knows exactly how to break down what could seem like a complicated situation. Most importantly it became obvious over time that once in a long while you actually meet someone that really cares about helping someone live a better life. It felt like through the whole experience that his intentions were good. He knows what not to do and key points that must be done. He knows what is relevant and what is not. He was reasonably priced. I told him absolutely how much I wanted to turn my situation around and he listened. His office is clean. His staff is helpful. I happened to work mostly with William Christoph. Let me just say, he lived up to everything I had hoped. It made all the difference in the world. I went in afraid and came out of it 100% relieved. I cannot tell you how glad I am that I got an attorney and that it was William Christoph. He was able to help the court see my sincerity. I feel like because he is knowledgeable and experienced that he seems very credible to the legal system and well intentioned. I have to say it may seem lucky but it wasn't all luck. I knew when it was over that it was smart to hire his law office. His expertise reduced the most important part of my DUI situation to way beyond expected. I was elated by the results. I by the way plan to honor my part in everyway. You also have to put in the challenging work for this to go well. I am not trying to say he can wave a wand and fix everything. I am sure there are times where he can't work a miracle. In court sometimes things obviously don't go as planned. All I am saying is if you want the best chance possible to get a quality result then this is the law office you need to call. After today, my family and I are entirely grateful for his help and it possibly changed my life. He did everything as intelligently planned as possible. Thank you... Mr. William Christoph!! read more

I was recently arrested for a domestic battery complaint filed by my fiancé who called the police in a manic state of bipolar, then made a false report. The police never looked at the facts, and with the charges, I was facing a year in jail. After I made bail, I immediately began to research online all of my options (which wasn't many) and realized this case would affect me for the rest of my life. California does not mess around with cases like this, and with a charge like this on my record, I would not be able to be employed, find housing, and also live with the stigma and embarrassment disclosing such information. I found Christoff Law Office's website online, and took note of their location right next to the Vista courthouse. I also took note of all the other raving reviews they have, and decided to take them up on the free consultation offered. I met with William Christoph and immediately knew he would be able to help me with my case. He spoke to me like a person, not a "criminal" like everyone else did (who I disclosed my situation to). He didn't sugar coat anything and told me the FACTS, not just what I wanted to hear. He was also confident that my case could be rejected, but told me he'd still stand by me if otherwise. He was clear with his rates and fees which were VERY reasonable compared to other lawyers in the area, and he seemed to take more personalized care with the details and facts. I hired him, and it was the BEST MOVE I COULD HAVE DONE. He addressed my case professionally and always emailed or called back if I had concerns. My case was ultimately rejected and dismissed, and it never would have been if I went with a public defender or fought my case alone. I can't recommend Christoff Law Office enough. Don't play games with your life or freedom. The Call these guys as soon as you can! read more

For being in trouble for the first time my family and I looked through the yellow pages and saw the Christophs big ad for assaults,dui's etc... So I called Bill to come in and talk about how we could help me. When he got the police report he was upset that I didn't exactly tell the truth about what happened. I told him I was sorry and I didn't know since I was first time ever being in trouble. From there he said that he was willing to help my case out. He had me go to doctors to write reports and he had me also going to anger management classes. Since I had a clean record, Bill was able to negotiate a very good deal for me. I will have my felony expunged in 18 months, no strike, minimum incarceration and only got my license suspended for 6 months (judge wanted a year). Bill was very helpful through the whole process and made sure that we were always on the same page. Bill is a very honest person and tells it how it is. Bill is considerably more expensive than other lawyers around the area but he was worth every penny. Even the judge who did my sentencing was even impressed with the deal that I had signed for. Overall Bill is someone who is willing to help if you are willing to help yourself. Bill never flaked out on any appointments we had and was always on time to court. I would recommend Bill if you are willing to spend the extra money. I was very impressed with Bill and from the reviews his son Nick seems excellent as well. I cannot thank Bill enough for what he did for me. Without him I would not be at home on my computer writing this wonderful review right now. I got the end result that I did, because I was willing to do the things he had asked me to do. Showed my remorse and did not blame the victim! read more

When I received my DUI, I did a web search for an attorney with experience in handling military DUI's on base. On my smart phone I found several websites, but Christoph Law Offices seemed the most reputable. I called their office and received an appointment on the same day. Upon arrival, Attorney Bill Christoph was very informative, with lots of experience. It turns out he was a Captain in the United States Marine Corps, this gave me affirmation and confidence that I would be in good hands. During my consultation, we discussed my case to which he was empathetic about. Before I left, I was well aware of the documents I needed to provide via email. Attorney Bill Christoph and I maintained contact throughout the process and was available when I had questions over the phone. Since my DUI occurred on base, I was awaiting a Federal Court notice to appear. Attorney Bill Christoph made liaison with the JAG and began the communication process to inform him of my case. When I informed him of my notice to appear date, he assured me he would attend on my behalf. This helped me significantly because of my busy work schedule. In conclusion, the outcome of my case without the work of Attorney Bill Christoph would not have been possible. My case was dismissed in federal court and I am forever thankful for having Attorney Bill Christoph on my side. read more

In the beginning of January 2020 I was involved in a bad situation at the wrong time. I was wrongfully charged for things I did not do. I was worried sick because I felt like no one was there to hear me out. I felt like there was no point in moving forward with college and in life. I felt like my whole world was falling down on me. I googled "good affordable lawyers near me". I came across Nicholas W. Christoph's website and reviews. Something in my gut told me that he would hear me out and help me. I called him and he gave me a free consultation. He told me possible outcomes that could happen. He always kept me on top of everything. I would call him when I would start getting worried and feeling hopeless. He was always there to tell me everything was going to be okay. He always answered my calls and never left me feeling like I was going through this alone. Even with the whole COVID-19, he stayed on top of my case. He recently got my case dismissed and I cannot thank him enough! I truly believe he was heaven-sent to me! He is the very best in this whole world! If you're in need of a criminal defense attorney! PLEASE! Do not hesitate! He is a very good lawyer. He would do anything to get a best possible outcome for his clients! read more

My cousin was accused and charged with grand theft in 2014. His former employer argued that they had evidence to support the accusation and after the Sheriff conducted a preliminary investigation, the district attorney (DA) decided to prosecute. My cousin and I met with Nicholas Christoph and his dad William for a consultation. They spent plenty of time explaining the possible approaches and we felt very comfortable in hiring their services. Nick represented my cousin in court several times and always talked to us before and after. He also did follow up with us very promptly anytime we had questions. Nick said from the beginning that based on the facts, he was not going to accept any "deals" from the DA and was going to get my cousin out of the mess totally clean. The attorney's work was outstanding from beginning to end; Nick got the case dismissed and my cousin walked out of court feeling great and free of charges. I highly recommend Nick and his dad Bill. read more

Hands down Nicholas Christoph was the best money I've ever spent! My past came back to haunt me. After a year in custody and 6 months in a residential treatment program the DA filed charges against me that were than more a year and a half old. It was a felony charge and the DA wanted some serious consequences and Nicholas worked a miracle! After talking with a few attorneys who didn't feel there was much they could do for me Nicholas assured me that he felt very optimistic from the gate. He was understanding, compassionate, and definitely had my best interest in mind. He was able to get my charge dropped down to a misdemeanor with no probation which was a hundred times better than I ever expected. It gets better...His flat rate was LESS than what all the other attorneys wanted just to get started and he offers an easy, no hassle payment plan which should fit most financial situations. Thank you Nick for all your hard work and dedication! read more

After weeks of searching for an attorney on Google, I finally decided to check on yelp, and Christoph Law Offices was one of the first one to appear due to their five star reviews. I decided to contact them and they scheduled a consultation with me that same afternoon. William Christoph was amazing! Very nice and professional , Right away I knew he was the attorney for my case. He was very caring and understanding, he weighed out my options, and not once did he pressure me into hiring him for my case. I was so nervous going to court as I had never gotten in trouble with the law before, but William made it a lot easier and he ended up getting me a way better deal then we were going for. I can't thank him enough for that. If you're searching for an attorney, definitely call Christoph Law offices. I promise you won't regret it they're Top Lawyers for a reason.

When I got the letter in the mail saying that I got 2 felony charges filed against me, I started freaking out and was expecting the worse. I started out with another lawyer who started causing unnecessary issues for me. I ended up switching to William who handed me over to Nick. That was honestly the best decision I ever made! Nick and William both were very professional and they helped me out during this stressful period of my life. This whole time I was really confident that Nick would be able to get me a good deal on this case. My 2 felonies were refiled as a small misdemeanor and I got light probation which can be removed later on. I highly recommend both of them if you are in need of an amazing lawyer who actually cares about your well-being/future. I seriously could not trust any other lawyer besides Nick and William. I'm so thankful for meeting them!! read more

Within days after being arrested for DUI which carried multiple serious charges I was a nervous wreck, I didn't sleep and decided it best to seek help for this trouble I got myself into. I contacted 4-5 different law offices, after speaking to each on the phone I felt comfortable with Nicholas as he made me feel at ease with my situation. We met at his office and went over the charges and immediately knew he was the person I wanted to represent me in my case. Nicholas is extremely knowledgeable about the laws and the system, to make a long story short he put me at ease from day 1 and delivered far beyond what I could have ever wished for. I can now move on, enjoy my blessed life and will forever be Thankful for the help and representation I received from the Christoph Law Offices Thanks Again read more

Ok, let me just start off by saying "WOW"!!! You can tell this is going to be a favorable review.What a pleasure doing buisness with Mr. William Christoph, form my very first visit, to every phone calll in between, then down to the final result. He knew from the very begining this was going to work out in my favor & boy did it ever. Not only was the end result awesome, then he came back with even better news after he went to court on my behalf.When he originally told me he would go to court & that I didn't have to go I was shocked. He kept his word the entire process. And in this buisness, it's not always possible to do. And let me just add "my case" was not a easy one. So Thank You Mr. Christoph, you have given me & my family our Christmas present early this year. read more

Nick was my godsend! I was arrested for a DUI, my first ever run-in with the law. My world was turned upside down and I had no idea what to do. I called Christoph Law Offices and spoke with Nick. He offered a free consult without obligation and scheduled me in that same day. I felt at ease from the time I walked in. He's outstanding at what he does and he's just a genuinely nice guy. He spent ample time with me to ensure that no detail was left out and he told me to call him anytime 24/7 if I had any questions. Nick got my DUI reduced to a wet reckless and I never even had to see a courtroom. He is well respected by the judges and his office is conveniently located across from the courthouse. Thank you Nick! You have my highest recommendation!!! read more

First of all, punctuality is very important to me and I'm sure MANY others... especially when it comes to these cases. Nick, my attorney, was on time, efficient and communicative throughout the entire process. This was my first offense and I wasnt sure how to go about any of it. He thoroughly guided me through and assured me that he would handle it which he did. I am a single mother and very tight with finances ESPECIALLY dealing with a case such as this and he accepted payments. He gracefully continued to work with me despite not having the funds entirely up front. Aside from that, he honestly communicated the many outcomes of my case. I highly recommend this Law Office to anyone dealing with this circumstance. Thanks, Nick! You're a rockstar! read more
