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

    I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the legal representation provided for my…read moretwo recent traffic citation cases. Regarding the first case, court records indicate that no legal representative appeared on my behalf. This lack of attendance resulted in an unfavorable ruling that I believe could have been avoided with proper representation. In the second case, the citing officer failed to appear in court. It is my understanding that such instances typically lead to a dismissal; however, the case was still lost. Furthermore, the explanation I received--stating that a guilty outcome was reached because my driving record was already tarnished--contradicts outcomes I have experienced with other attorneys for similar charges.

    I hired Choyce for a relatively severe traffic citation. I wasn't particularly satisfied with their…read moreservice. I was unsettled by their particularly hands-off approach, but I heard that it was a common approach to traffic cases. After the initial paperwork, they didn't reach out much, and I never got particularly involved with the case. They didn't give me much advice about what I should do about my situation. It was a very "Let us handle it" dynamic, and that didn't inspire much confidence in me. Many people may appreciate or prefer this approach, but I didn't I got a relatively severe citation. At my hearing, I didn't receive the worst penalty I could have, so ultimately, my outcome was technically favorable. Still, it wasn't ideal, and It never really seemed at any point that Choyce did anything for me that I couldn't have done myself. If you get a citation for a much lighter violation, or have a more complex situation, Choyce may be the right option for you, but my recommendation is to drive safe, drive legal.

    Shannon M Elms was amazing Amazing Lawyer - Bulldog in court…read moreWe hired Shannon to help us with our child custody case. We were just trying to stop my kids from being sent to another state for 5 weeks out of the year to a man that they didn't know. Throughout the case she ended up helping us to get full custody and his parental rights terminated. My husband who was the only dad they had ever known was then able to adopt them. There were some hiccups and a lot of back and forth but overall she was an amazing lawyer and absolutely worth it! I would pay the money all over again to get the outcome we got! She is a bulldog going after exactly what she wants and making sure she gets it.

I was scheduled for the consultation via virtual meeting. I filled out the intake form as asked. Today is my scheduled meeting date, set at 10AM. At 9:50 AM, I called the assistant Porsche and provided my payment information over the phone. She said she would send me the meeting link so that I can meet with attorney Maureen Roberts. After we hung up, I waited for the email and the meeting link. A couple minutes later, I received a phone call from the assistant. She said the attorney cancelled my appointment. The attorney just looked at my post-nuptial agreement and said she doesn't handle it. This law firm let me wait over two months, didn't care to look at its client's needs or what they handle, simply cancelled my appointment with that reason. Such an unprofessional manner and pathetic.

They both graduated from UC Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall) and have experience at three public defender offices acorss California where Judges, DAs, and the other defense attorneys universally respect (and sometimes fear) them. In Napa and Solano they've tried every type of criminal case with success at trial and, often more importantly, before trial by getting charges dismissed and with motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence. Francisco has written the most detailed and successful motions and appeals of any attorney in the region. And he's the calm, confident attorney judge's look to for answers in the courtroom. Cate has changed judges' and DAs' minds about what the laws mean and what justice demands. They both have many jury trial wins and have gotten cases overturned on appeal or writ. When other attorneys tell their clients to plead out, these guys will tell them to stand and fight the system whenever there's a chance. If you've been accused you'll be confident with them at your side, if the DA sees their names they will know they're in for a fight, if the judge sees them in court they will know Cate and Francisco came better prepared than anyone else in the room. And that they came to win!

I continue to consult…read morewith Justin in my ongoing 4 year legal battle with restraining my husbands violent and bitter ex who once was fairly good at lying. I have received nothing but excellent direction and instruction from Justin. This man doesn't need to look up law in a book because it's in his head. I don't like to waste money. And THAT is something Justin doesn't do. I am not the overly emotional type so I'm sure that's helpful to him but my career means everything and Justin guided me with how to protect that. He is also the expert in breaking down the legal jargon that I get hung up on sometimes and that is why he's the best. If you feel overwhelmed and want to take the burden off of you, then hire him! I def say he is brilliant in his field and with all geniuses, if you can't keep up, you'll have to move out the way so he can kick a$$ for you. This dude actually learned to speak Spanish during the Covid lock down. If that doesn't tell you something about the power of his mind, then he's not for you. Also. If you want to see him chew up and spit out another attorney, (nothing personal but always funny) especially if you have a high conflict case that seems to never stop...HIRE HIM!
