Compassionate & Kind "Walks Softly With A Big Stick" We highly recommend the legal services of Laina Chikhani. My husband was unexpectedly served with a temporary restraining order, and given a court date that conflicted with travel plans, as we would be out of the Country on that date. We were at a loss on how to proceed. We decided to search for an attorney. We contacted Laina and arranged a meeting. When we met with her we immediately felt comfortable. She was not only professional but very kind. She assured us that she would appear at court on the Restraining Order date. Which she promptly appeared and successfully requested that the court reschedule the hearing for a date after our return. This immediate action provided us with both relief and confidence during a very stressful situation. The allegations made against my husband were extremely serious and completely unfounded. Prior to the new hearing date, Laina advised us to prepare a detailed, chronological account of the events leading up to the restraining order, along with supporting exhibits. This guidance proved invaluable. Our submission clearly outlined the facts and demonstrated the lack of merit in the claims made against my husband. At the court hearing, the Judge asked the petitioner whether she had reviewed our response and supporting evidence. After questioning her further, and noting the seriousness of making such allegations, the Judge immediately dismissed the case and dropped all charges. We are deeply grateful for Laina's professionalism, sound legal strategy, and unwavering support throughout this process. Her knowledge, responsiveness and commitment to justice were evident every step of the way. We would not hesitate to recommend Laina to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated legal representation. Sincerely, George & Dawn read more

I can't praise Laina highly enough! Ever since that first phone call, Laina has gone above and beyond!! Our family was shocked and overwhelmed by the legal situation that required her services, and it was a long journey. Throughout the entire process, Laina was thorough, professional, compassionate, and incredibly supportive. From day 1 we felt that we had the absolute best person for the job. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in need of a criminal defense attorney. read more

I am beyond grateful for the representation I received. Facing a DUI charge was one of the most stressful experiences of my life, especially because I was from another state but my attorney was calm, reassuring, and incredibly supportive every step of the way. She kept me informed, responded quickly to my concerns, and truly cared about my case. Her hard work made all the difference, and she was able to reduce the charges to a wet and reckless. I couldn't have asked for a better advocate. Five stars isn't enough! Forever grateful and lesson learned. Angela read more

Mean not responsive. Go with a public defender. She can't even answer the most simple questions.

If you were looking for a lawyer, that is compassionate, knowledgeable, and fair priced, then please look no further. She is extremely effective, courteous, and did an amazing job with my DUI. After my probation period was over she assisted in getting my DUI expunged as well. She made the process super easy and explained everything. And again she was very kind, courteous, and respectful of time. read more

Laina Chikhani...is a wonderful attorney. She cares about her clients and makes sure that she gets the best outcome for her clients.

I had a warrant from 2016 that I was recently arrested for. I contacted Laina via her contact page and she returned my message within one business day. She informed me of the possible outcomes and we scheduled an appointment. Even when I had to reschedule my appointment due to a car accident she was extremely accommodating. When I met with her in her office, she was incredibly professional and helpful. She informed me that because my warrant was so old that I could have my case dismissed. She even told me to save my $2000 retainer that I had to hire her and use a public defender instead due to my budget constraints. Fast forward to my court date and my case was indeed dismissed with the assistance of a public defender. Laina is the consummate professional and her ethics are above reproach. Hire her for your criminal defense law needs! read more

Meeting Laina was a blessing! 100/10 would recommend to friends & family! Really helped so much with my case & walked me through each step I had to take! After my experience with her you can see she has a passion for helping people that is so genuine! read more

Laina Chikhani Attorney at Law - The best :) - DUI Law Near Me - Fairfield, California

I hired Laina after a very difficult DUI earlier in 2020. I interviewed several lawyers through Yelp and felt like I was immediately in good hands when we first spoke. I am not from Solano County and needed help navigating how to handle it all from a distance. I can't say enough great things about her and how much she helped through an incredibly challenging time. First in foremost her professionalism was outstanding. She communicated with me every step of the way, keeping me informed and calm through the process. She was always available to answer my questions and eased so many of my concerns. Although I hope to never find myself in a similar situation, I would without a doubt use her services again or recommend hiring her to my friends and family. This last year has been hard for everyone and despite that she made time to explain everything and assure me it would be OK. As the legal process wrapped up I realized she negotiated the very best outcome for my charges and held my hand through it all. Thank you Laina! read more

I would recommend laina to anyone who is in need of a GREAT lawyer! She helped my fiancé with a very unfortunate situation, and always made sure he was able to fully understand everything that was going on. She fought her hardest for us. Even though she had multiple cases, she always gave us her undivided attention. She is a perfect example of a BOSS lawyer. Thank you laina for everything you have done for us! 10 star lawyer! read more

After searching high and low for a litigator to assist with a personal family matter, I finally stumbled upon Laina Chikhani. I even spoke with other litigators who were previous peers of hers and THEY ALL (2 in total) sang her praises and gave excellent reviews of her. I can honestly say she responded to my inquiry IMMEDIATELY and kept in constant communication with me the entire time whether it was by text, email, or phone. I can tell you this for sure.. what we had to accomplish, we did. She was affordable, honest and communicative the entire way through. We were dealing with a two time DUI conviction, probation violation and one more thing that I can't remember. She came through with what we needed her to which we thought was impossible! If you need a DUI litigator, reach out to this lady, please! Thanks so much for everything Laina! read more

No words to express our gratitude for all the assistance Attorney Laina provided us from the moment we seek her assiatance when my husband got the DUI, to the time the case closes. She is very professional and puts her heart to helping us get through it, she is just a text or a phone call away. read more

I am out of state and hired Laina to attempt to dismiss two 25 year old outstanding warrants I had along with hoping she could also get dismissed the classes and community service that came with them. I am now almost 75 years old and felt it was time to clear up these warrants even though I have lived out of the state for years. I cannot tell you how impressive Laina is. She definitely knows her job! She started working on my case immediately. She was honest with me and advised that she might not be able to get the community service and class dismissed. However, to my surprise she ended up getting everything dismissed. I seriously cannot thank her enough. She is a great attorney and does an excellent job for her clients. I recommend her highly! read more

Amazing attorney! She has represented several people I know, she is an great advocate and definitely fights for the people she represents. She goes above and beyond for her clients. Would definitely recommend! read more

Laina is definitely one of a kind. She has helped me immensely in the short time that I had met her. She is quick, prompt, and easy to talk to. She listened and was very caring. I left messages on several websites in the middle of a Friday night and Laina was the only one that called me the very next day (on a Saturday!). And when I met her in her office, in less that 5 mins, she was already on her phone making calls regarding my situation. What Impressed me the most was that she did all this BEFORE we even discussed whether or not I wanted to work with her. She showed commitment from the get go. I would recommend Laina to anyone who needs guidance and help. She is the one you want on your side! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP, LAINA! I am forever grateful. read more

Laina is the best kind of attorney you can hope for. She is an expert in her area of the law, does not waste your time and is very clear and honest about your situation and options available, but is also empathetic and treats you with respect. My partner found himself in a situation that required immediate legal assistance and I cannot say enough about how she handled the situation. Not only did she get back to us immediately, but she was honest about what we were dealing with and what it would cost. And in the end she over-delivered on our particular situation. I've dealt with lawyers before and wish they all were as professional as Laina. Do yourself a favor and give her a call. Thank you Laina! read more

We needed an attorney that was based in Solano County and we hired Laina as our attorney for a DUI case. After 8 months of hearings she was able to get BOTH dmv and court case dismissed!! She is amazing and also her team! Worth every penny!!! Thank you so much for all your hard work :) read more

I have so many good things to say about Laina. First I will say, if you are a Veteran of the Armed Forces and find yourself in a pickle, Laina is the lawyer you NEED! She has an excellent professional relationship with Veterans Court judges, social workers, and probation officers in Solano County. Secondly, by no means does that statement mean you're getting off on charges. What I mean is that for how painful your circumstances are, she makes the whole process incredibly smooth. She's your top notch Defense Counsel, believe me. read more

Ms. Chikhani's knowledge of her craft blows my mind. Also, she has a heart of gold. She's protected me like a momma bear, kept me informed, given me options, learned my case from the inside out and back again and given me peace of mind. Because of that, I've been able to be a better mother to my child during this stressful time. That is worth its weight in gold. Before retaining Ms. Chikhani I had many many consults with other well known attorneys. The best they could offer was nothing compared to what Ms. Chikhani has accomplished for me. She thinks outside the box and genuinely cares. Hands down, she is the absolute best. read more

What I can say from what I've experienced in the last 9 months was compassion, caring, determination, understanding, empathy, trust... etc. I could go on for the way she has treated me in my legal battle. I'm 25 and haven't made the best life decisions but she believed in me and truly made me feel like I mattered more than i thought I was worth . At the moment we are dealing with Covid and back ups with our court dates and It's been 9 long months of prolonged court dates and laina has come to me and reassured me that she has my back no matter what when i really wasn't believing that the law had my side. She was there to answer any text or call I had and was always able to calm me down and reassure me that everything will be okay. She's truly unbelievable and has made such a positive impact on me that it's made me want to better myself because of how hard she worked for me and my defense. She got me an unbelievable deal that I never thought I would receive and because of that I am forever going to be grateful for her Thank you so much Laina read more

I was forced to deal with an unfortunate circumstance in Solana county. We interviewed several attorneys. There are always some who will promise the moon and try to overcharge for it. The lack of sincerity shows easily and early despite high rankings in reviews. It's important for those who write reviews to help others appreciate Laina's integrity and as others have mention her compassion for people. I found her up front , cautiously encouraging but not over promising. I think that's extremely important. Because of Laina's well known integrity And easy demeanor I believe she probably gets the best treatment possible by the courts and other state representatives. This can make a big difference in outcome. Unquestionably would I recommend her. Laina I am eternally grateful read more

I came to Laina when my previous counsel completely screwed my case for the purpose to just milk me as much as possible. When I first talked to Laina she simply understood my situation and gave me really helpful advise even though I have not hired her yet at that moment. I was honestly surprised with her sincere and humane attitude. I have been through a lot of stress with the other attorney. I can tell Laina really cares for her clients and she is definitely not obsessed with money making like 99% of the lawyers that I tried to talk to. I was so stressed and desperate. I had no knowledge of what is going on and what to expect. Not only Laina helped me to properly represent my case but she also informed me at every single step of the case. She was literally available 24/7 for me. Whenever I asked her questions related to my case she was always there for me. By the way the other attorney was pissed every time I texted when I had clarifying questions, I had a feeling that I was pain in the ass for him. But that was not the case with Laina. My life was literally at the stake and Laina was like "I feel you and I would do my best to guide you and make you feel comfortable". As any other reasonable person who faces serious charges I've had so many fears and anxieties, but Laina really did her best to calm me down. Laina you are truly naturally talented not only as a lawyer but as good person first of all. I think I was just God blessed to find you. Thank you for every single minute you've spent to give me a clear picture of the case and thank you for your help ! Sending you the best wishes and the most positive vibes! Also thank you for letting me prepare for my exam with zero negative thoughts in my head! God bless you again !!!!!!! read more

Laina is an amazing attorney. I found myself really upset over a legal matter, and when we spoke on the phone first, she was reassuring and extremely personable. What made me choose her, was she didn't want me to sign her on until we met in person. She could've easily said "ok" over the phone and taken my money, but she wanted to make sure that we were a right fit. When we met in person, she made sure I knew the entire process and what my options were. She took the time to explain details and processes. Laina is kind and works diligently on your case even though I'm sure she has multiple clients at once. There are other lawyers that when we talked really made me feel backed into a corner and even more frightened, where Laina made me feel at ease and calmer. She truly is the best lawyer. read more

Laina is amazing! I went to her to get my record expunged. She got my felony reduced to a misdemeanor and dismissed. I got all my rights back and it truly feels great! I did everything she asked and she went above and beyond. I highly recommend her to anyone who's past is holding them back. I just received my state phlebotomy license and absolutely would not have been able to without Laina, she's the BEST! read more

Ms. Laina was a lovely and attentive attorney. She was always available to answer my questions and explain things that confused me about my case. Furthermore, I would have liked to feel more defended in my case. I paid more for her services than I did for my overall court fees. I did not feel like her suggestions benefited my situation, nor did I think that she strongly advocated for me, despite the stated response below. I want to emphasize that she has other very positive reviews, which is why I choose her. This is only a constructive review base on my own opinion. I recommend that you research other attorneys before deciding if Ms. Laina is appropriate for your case. Overall, her attitude is priceless, respectful, organized, and she wants you to feel well-informed about your case. read more
