Im so thankful to have had representation to help me realize that I still had rights as a father who really wants to be a part of my daughter's life. Atty Mines shared part of her life story with me, and it resonated so strong that I couldn't thank her enough for taking the time to sit with me and help me understand that all is not lost just because I had two kids from different women and that the kids were nearly the same age. I readily admit that I've made mistakes, but Atty Mines helped me understand that no one will ever be perfect and that she's glad for the opportunity to give me insight on what I thought were huge problems in my life.

I live out of state, had never been in this type of situation before, and was terrified--not only because of the court process, but because of the possible professional consequences if the case went badly. The first law firm I hired reviewed the facts and essentially concluded that I was probably going to lose. I then found David, and from the very first conversation, it was clear he saw the case differently. He did not minimize the situation or sugarcoat anything, but he immediately understood that there was more going on than what appeared on paper. He had a command of the procedural issues, the courtroom dynamics, and the strategy in a way that gave me confidence when I had almost none left. What stood out most was that David was not just technically excellent--he was creative, strategic, responsive, and genuinely caring. He understood my state of mind, took my fears seriously, and explained his plan in a way that made me feel protected rather than judged. He was always available when I needed him and treated the case with urgency and humanity. In the end, my mother and I did not even have to fly to California or appear remotely. David appeared for us, spoke directly with the other side at court, and by the time the matter resumed, the petitions against both of us were dropped. That result was an enormous relief. I went from believing I was about to lose everything to walking away with the case dismissed. David is the kind of lawyer people hope exists when they are scared and overwhelmed--the kind of lawyer you see in movies but do not expect to find in real life. I am incredibly grateful that I called him and trusted him.

I came in anxious and overwhelmed, and he genuinely helped ease my nerves just by explaining things plainly and giving me the confidence to move forward.

I'm extremely grateful for his time and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs honest, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive legal help.

Absolutely terrible. Seppi is an unethical, unprofessional, scam-artist attorney. I am reporting him to the State Bar for malpractice and also going to mandatory fee arbitration to get thousands of dollars in fees refunded to me. I have also reported him to the Better Business Bureau, with which he as an F rating. I was in a low, scared, and vulnerable place and was also sick when I googled an attorney and called Seppi, and he took advantage of my state. He requested thousands of dollars from me up-front, without any consultation or explanation, and I paid, desperate and scared. Big mistake. There are many good attorneys out there, and you also have the right to a public defender if you do not have money. Two days after our initial conversation and payment, he called and lied to me about it being good for my case if he filed something called "a plea in absentia" for which he charged me an additional $2000. I believed him and paid, but this was a scam, as there was never even any such filing made with the court. Weeks later, his office suddenly sent me a contract that showed the original amount I paid plus the $2000 for the plea in absentia filing as one lump sum payment for an original retainer. This was also a lie and a scam, which covered up for the fact that the $2000 was actually a separate charge at a later date for a different purpose. I had no idea what was happening as I'd never before needed an attorney and just wanted to trust my attorney to take care of my case. I then waited for three months in the dark not knowing what Seppi was doing, and then told I had to appear in court, even though Seppi had sold me the "plea in absentia" which was supposed to prevent me from having to appear in court, but was actually fake. Seppi repeatedly ignored my questions, calls, emails, and even official messages on his portal requesting information and documents about my case, the process, and what he was doing. Seppi had also assigned another attorney to my case without telling me, and this person was listed as my attorney of record with the court, but I was never notified of any of this. When my brother, who is also an attorney, called this mysterious attorney of record listed for my case, she said that she no longer worked for Seppi and hung up the phone. We then had to call Seppi's office several times after not getting any responses to messages on his office portal or emails, to try to get an answer as to what was happening and why this person who no longer works for him or represents me is listed as my attorney of record. We still got no answer. We also requested the documents pertaining to my case from his office, and they did not share them with us or even respond to our requests. Months later, Seppi had still never removed that mysterious attorney as the attorney of record or sent me any of the documents I'd requested. All of these months, I was scared, worried, in a state of total stress and darkness, about what was happening in my case. Six months later, after I discovered what was truly happening, I finally got the documents for my case from his secretary and when I reviewed them, I realized that Seppi had never shared with me critical details from the discovery documents that would have made a big difference in my case. I don't think Seppi ever fully reviewed the documents, police report, or evidence in my case because when I brought very important details to his attention, he had no idea what I was talking about. He also promised he would negotiate things that he never did and take actions that he never did. I then called his office to request a refund of the $2000 for the fake plea in absentia filing, and they not only refused to refund me, but instead sent me a bill for another $950 saying that it was payment for Seppi to appear in court for me, even though the third appearance was covered in the original retainer. I then sent an email to them requesting to fire Seppi, but he would not accept this. He suddenly for the first time in months called, to convince me to not fire him and then promised to do the work that he had said he would do 8 months earlier but never did, and said that the $950 bill that was sent to me was a mistake and that he would retract it. I then showed up to court on my court date which was supposed to be an early dismissal of my case, and Seppi did not even appear in person in court as he had told me he would do. He called in and told the judge the opposite of what he had told me he would do 2 days prior when he convinced me not to fire him. I then was told by the Judge that I have to come back again to court on a later date. I called Seppi right away and fired him, and he still refused to hand over my case to the public defender unless I took my negative review down. He also told me in a text message that I needed to send him my brother's phone number so that he could call my brother and talk to him about me and my case as he was, quote, "worried about my mental health." read more

Seppi saved my life. I state this without histrionics, exaggeration, or drama- he truly saved me. My fiancé and I searched for and interviewed ten different lawyers- time was of the essence and our finances were extremely limited. I was charged with and arrested for a felony for domestic violence. We met Seppi and quickly learned that he is a man in high-demand with a high volume of clientele. He invited us over to his home, after work, for what was supposed to be a brief meeting. He sat with us for three hours- we left after 11PM on a weekday- he thoroughly explained all possible outcomes without sugar-coating anything. He is calm, smart and kind. He made me feel like we were his only focus- he is empathetic and rational. He listened intently to us and he made me feel safe. Though ill-perceived, the outside call to the police yielded serious charges for me. Firstly, a protective order was to be issued that would have kept my fiancé and me apart. I would have had to move homes and abide by no contact nor communication with my fiancé. This, while we were planning our wedding, five months away. Furthermore, I faced possible jail-time. We were beside ourselves. Seppi shared with us the possibility of having the protective order lifted so that we could stay together and stand united during this trying time. If lifted, he said this charge could be reduced to a misdemeanor. He said he recognized the power of our love for each other and he made his first line of business getting the protective order removed. We were hoping, at best, the charges would be reduced, but when all was said and done, all of the charges were dropped. We are free! Now we can live our lives- restored and invigorated- and with grateful attitudes. We continue to plan our wedding, weightless of any anticipation of doom and gloom, and with confidence that we will marry without any future court dates hanging over our heads. We anticipated months and months of dread and anxiety at the thought of having to plan our beautiful union under this dark cloud that resided over us. Instead, Seppi, virtuous and discriminating, relieved us of this nightmare. I shudder to think what may have happened had we put our faith and trust into anyone else. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Seppi! With Love and Gratitude, Mandy read more

NOT only a TOP NOTCH service... but MOST importantly, Jorge Guerrero and Seppi Esfandi are TOP NOTCH PEOPLE. I was in a truly terrible situation and had called SEVERAL law firms who offered me no hope and also were MORE interested in money than my personal situation. When I called the Law Office of Seppi Esfandi.... I spoke with Jorge... and IMMEDIATELY knew I was with the right people. Jorge was very compassionate and reassuring that Seppi would do the best job possible. Not only did he do the best job but he has gone and continues to go ABOVE and BEYOND the call of duty for me. He was able to negotiate my deal down from a felony to a misdemeanor... he could have had my case ultimately dismissed but because of my familial duty as a father... I took the deal and he understood why and was supportive and compassionate. Throughout the 8 month process, he was extremely accessible to me.. very thorough and HONEST. He would not sugarcoat and give me a false sense of security, he was upfront.... made me feel at ease because this is my life that was in the balance NOT only for myself but for my children. In addition, he literally SAVED my employment as this deal that I took put me at risk of losing said employment... he was always checking in on the current status of the situation.. when I advised that it was not looking good and my employers were leaning towards relieving me of my duty.. he IMMEDIATELY stepped into action and wrote a stellar and glowing letter on my behalf to submit to them. When the day came to find out what would happen regarding employment situation.. they let me know that they were leaning towards letting me go but what changed their mind to at least speak to me face to face before making a final choice???... Seppi's Letter. Seppi - with my hand over my humble heart... THANK YOU. THANK YOU for not only saving my livelihood but my children's as well because at the end of the day, he knows and knew that it was all about them. I can honestly say that I have a friend in Seppi... God Bless you and your family kind sir. Again, they are TOP NOTCH and quality people. read more

I have contacted several criminal defense lawyers and Seppi was the first one who I got a response from immediately, he was very accommodating and saw me to discuss my case that same day. He was willing to see me even at 8:30 that night. He was very reassuring and he delivered. From the very beginning, he was very honest, he never promised anything that he knew can never happen. He gave me the facts and possible scenarios but he never said anything just to please me or say something I just want to hear just so he can get the business. I was very adamant and pushy to a point but later realized that I am not his only client, and I should be very patient. True to his words, he gave me what he said he would. I am very happy with the result of my case. Seppi gave me a peace of mind and closed this horrible chapter of my life. I am very grateful and I know I made the right decision in hiring Seppi and his law firm. I wish him the best of luck and hoping he would be able to help more people just like me who was losing hope in the beginning yet he was able to give a new life in the end. If you think there's no more light at the end of the tunnel, call Seppi and maybe, just maybe, he's the answer to your prayers. P.S. He never solicits for reviews as well. I am not one who does reviews very often and this is done on my own freewill. Just a small thing to show appreciation of what he has done for me. read more

I cannot recommend Seppi Esfandi highly enough. From the very beginning, he demonstrated an exceptional command of criminal defense law, paired with a level of professionalism and dedication that immediately put me at ease during a very difficult time. Mr. Esfandi is not only deeply knowledgeable, but also strategic, detail-oriented, and relentless in advocating for his clients. He approached my case with precision and care, leaving no stone unturned and ensuring that every possible angle was thoughtfully considered. His ability to communicate clearly and confidently made a complex and stressful process far more manageable. What truly sets him apart is his unwavering commitment and integrity. He treats his clients with respect, takes the time to listen, and fights tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. You can tell that he genuinely cares, and that makes all the difference. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney who is sharp, dependable, and truly exceptional at what he does, I strongly and confidently recommend Seppi Esfandi to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation. read more

I've never needed a lawyer before in my life, but when I was put in a situation that landed me in jail, and with a court hearing, I knew I needed someone with amazing experience and a genuine desire to help people. Thankfully I was able to find Seppi! My sister actually sent me a few lawyers to look at, but Seppi's website and the reviews really made me feel like he was the right person to represent me. I'm so happy with my decision. Seppi answered my call, heard my story, and offered his services right away making me feel like I had someone on my side. Seppi and his team guided me through the process and all the things I needed in order for them to make my case. If it wasn't for Seppi and his team I don't know how my hearing would have gone. I'm so grateful for Seppi and his team because they were able to get my case rejected, and of course Seppi reassured me that if there were any lingering issues with my case that I could always call him and he would have my back. THANK YOU SEPPI AND TEAM!! Forever grateful for all you've done for me!!! read more

I very highly recommend Seppi Esfandi as a defense attorney. My wife and I recently encountered a significant legal challenge. We conducted research on the web for attorneys and identified 2 law firms that had 5 star ratings. Both proposed essentially identical strategies. So we selected one and moved forward. The go to strategy, if properly implemented, should have resulted in dropped charges. Unfortunately it was not implemented properly. At this point we reached out to Seppi. He came across as calm, confident and very knowledgable. He immediately knew what strategy to adopt and reassured us that with high probability the case would be dismissed. He made the right calls along the way and provided the correct guidance. The case was dismissed. We wish we had reached out to Seppi to start with. It would have spared us much anxiety. Thank you Seppi for helping us get our lives back on track. I would like to reiterate that I very highly recommend Seppi Esfandi as a defense attorney. read more

I was arrested last Oct. for three felonies from the result for a family member having a conflict of how I managed my parents finances. The care I gave them for the last 20-30 years were not the issue. But because of this Seppi sat down and took time with me to understand the family dynamics and once he realized the situation he worked with me for 10 to 12 months to get a fair plea from the DA, It was worked out through patience a fair statement, of 1year deferred sentencing, for 1 felonies to be a misdemeanor after 200 hours of community services. There also was some restitution but that was not required to be paid before that year, Also probation, but no jail time. Which was great short of going to court and being totally dismissed which he was will to do even though his fee would not be increased. I decided to take this plea because I didn't want to go to trial if it was something I could live with. I Thank him for his help and arranging to make this a possible solution. read more

Where do I start.... I was looking around for an attorney to help me with my DV case... Every single attorney I spoke with gave me doubts and told me I will be looking at jail time no matter what, once I called Seppi and Jorge answered the phone I knew this was the right choice. He was very attentive and knowledgeable on all possible outcomes , he explained to me the whole process and made me feel confident that I shouldn't worry about jail. Jorge and Seppi both answered all and any question I had no matter how dumb it may have been, great people here may God bless them more . I got a good deal unfortunately I had to get convicted but he got me no jail time which is what mattered to me , I got to keep my job . Thank you Seppi and Jorge for helping with this I really appreciate what you've done. Seppi isnt done yet after this last hearing he is still willing to help me once more with one more hearing which means a lot to me, you guys are amazing.. read more

Let me start by saying that from the very first time I spoke to Seppi, he was very knowledgeable in his field and it was clear from the get go that Mr. Esfandi is on top of his game. He gave me the potential outcomes to my case, both good and bad. He knew all the ins and outs of my type of case and for me, most importantly, he didn't sugar coat anything that was going on. I got the hard facts straight from horses mouth, so to speak. His assistant Shaun was also instrumental in giving me the play by play and interpereting all the legal mumbo jumbo. If you ask me they make a good team and ultimately Mr. Esfandi and company came through with flying colors in my case, placing justice and I mean true justice, on a silver platter laid resting right at my door step. I would not hesitate to use Seppi again in the future Brian G. read more

I want everyone to know that Seppi helped me immensely in my situation. It was a situation that truly never should of happened and even though it did he showed me the way. He was able to get a full dismissal in my case and I will forever be greatful. One of the things that stood out to me was that I could always reach him no matter what time it was. In the past I have dealt with lawyers in a child custody case. They never responded quickly, once they finally did they wanted to know about there next payment. Seppi was the exact opposite and really made me feel like I was going in to court with a friend I had grown up with. It is with this in mind that I would 100% recommend him to a family member, friend, or anyone reading this to hire him as your criminal defense lawyer. He's just a hell of a guy who really cares, and that extremely rare in his line of business. read more

I was arrested for a charge of assault with a deadly weapon as you know that is a Felony, I was really stressed out because I've never been in this kind of situation and I didn't know what the outcome would be. After looking through tons of mail and reviews I came across Seppi. He was my first choice and I didn't even get pricing quotes from anyone else, something told me that this is where I should go and what do you know he got my case dismissed (I didn't even have to go to court) ! If you're in a tough situation Id say this would be the right lawyer for you. My favorite part about him was the fact that he's a very genuine guy and he's really honest, but more importantly he gave me peace of mind. I can't thank him enough, because now this changes everything. thanks Seppi !!!!!! I Really appreciate you! (: read more

My particular case had me facing a felony with absolutely no priors. I have really bad anxiety and this was causing me to panic due to my career field. I can't risk anything of that nature on my record. After being assigned to Yulia she did everything in her power to help ease my mind. Whether it was calling to update me frequently or sending positive words of encouragement here and there. And all of this was before we even had our arraignment. Once we went into court she immediately jumped into action and was able to start speaking with the DA and the DA Supervisor. She was able to get the charges dismissed before we even stood in front of the judge. Yulia is top notch and thoroughly knows her way around the judicial system. I will be recommending her to anyone who approaches me about legal help. read more

Man all I can say that Seppi and his team is the best thing that every happen to me in my situation. I was falsely accused of a crime that would have put me in jail and damaged my career chances. I contacted Seppi and his team and told them the situation and they jumped right on it, they made me feel more relaxes about the situation and knowing I had the right people on the job for my best interest. Seppi was able to get my case dismissed and I was able to get on with my life and he also did not charge me a arm and a leg either for his services. This man was the only light for me in this hole situation and I am so thankful he was able to be there for me if you have any criminal trouble and you know you were doing the right thing this is the man for you Thank You Seppi you are the best. read more

First and foremost, as humans, Counselors Seppi and Michael are kind, compassionate, and incisively knowledgeable. As professionals, they're humane and quickly attentive to not merely the facts of cases but frame the context of 'big picture' perspective to where parties can comprehend how, not just the defense views options but how 'the State' and 'The People' representing public well-being consider each case as well. Equally impressive, Seppi thinks 'outside the box' and does up-to-the-minute research to provide the latest State legislation and popular proposition initiatives in the best interest of and outcomes for each client's specific situation. Go see Seppi @ Esfandi Law, consider his outlook, rinse, repeat :) Can't thank this firm enough and thank you so kindly, gentlemen. read more

Seppi Esfandi is an amazing lawyer. He won my case and strategy was intelligently crafted. The case was not easy and he took control of the it and kept my daily life uninterrupted. He was not biased and based everything on facts and he didn't give me false hopes. And I was confident in his abilities as a lawyer and hired him. The best decision I've made. My entire life and family future were in his hands. He handled it with respect and care. He and his team were diligent and he kept me calm yet realistic. He is a believer and a winner. He was incredibly responsive with my questions and concerns. I received first class services and beyond. If you are reading this, without a doubt, hire him. You want the best. He will deliver and provide best in class service and strategies. read more

I heard about Seppi Esfandi and he claimed to have alot of locations. I went to the Van Nuys location he had listed as one of his offices on his brochure. The address is located at 6403 Van Nuys Boulevard and turns out there is no office there. Instead it was a "$2 and up" store selling cheap clothes. If you go there to this day it is still a "$2 and up" store which he is claiming on his brochure is his office. I checked the rest of his "offices" listed on his brochure and all except one are main street addresses to buildings that have tons of suites but no suite numbers are listed so I don't feel any of these other offices are "real." This guy seems highly dishonest and deceptive. Avoid this lawyer at all costs. (See pictures attached to prove what I am saying...) read more

Despite signing paperwork and preparing payment for full representation, I was suddenly told they could not take my case. That timing left me feeling that the focus was on billing first, service second. I'm posting this because I rely on real reviews when making decisions, and others deserve transparency.

If you expect hands-on guidance and clear communication, I would recommend exploring other options. This firm provides lesser value for the price than some PD's, with that said, avoid this firm.
