They kept my mental state at ease and looked out for my best interests not just legally but also personally. Samuel was compassionate but firm and got his point across honestly and effectively.

What initially caught my attention about Derek is that he sounded like a genuine person both in his…read morevideo and over the phone. He was the type of person you could trust. My first informal consultation over the phone with him made me want to meet him in person because he wasn't the type who appeared extremely aggressive, but instead, realistic. He won't make promises that seem over-the-top. He is the type that states facts, tells you the honest truth, and communicates openly and calmly with you. He is patient, kind, and also has a great sense of humor. After searching around, I decided to pick him as my attorney and I am so glad that I did. He helped me tremendously with my case by getting some charges taken off, and also bringing down the severity of my case. I feel so lucky to have landed on his page while I was googling for help. I HIGHLY recommend Derek. He is professional and will help you every step of the way!

PHENOMENAL!!!! I got myself involved in a very difficult…read moresituation. It was a very serious situation and was facing serious charges. Derek assisted me in sorting everything out during one of the most difficult times in my life. I have never met an attorney like Derek that not only handled everything with extreme care but also treated me as a good friend, not judging me for what had occurred. If you meet with him, you will understand why I did not hesitate to retain his services.

I highly recommend her if you need a criminal defense attorney!…read more She is very thorough and a true advocate. One of my family members were in need and I'm glad I found her on Yelp. After reading other reviews I'm glad I made the right choice. She worked with him and was able to get the outcome he desired.

If you need a criminal defense attorney, call her!

With 2 dui's literally back to back. My fiance was in a situation. I already know.... how can you…read moreget two back to back. Oooh and did I forget to mention he had one from like 7 years ago that we thought was a dry and reckless but turned out to be a wet and reckless. We had no other choice but to deal with it. I advised my fiance he would need to hire an attorney. He automatically wanted to go with the attorney with the most reviews. But I advised him he should be cautious. I called the attorney he wanted to go with and didn't get a good feeling. I called 2 other law firms and again didnt get a good feeling. I finally called Christopher and felt confident so we setup a meeting and my feeling of confidence increased. He didn't make any promises of what the outcome would be but he did leave us feeling like we made a great choice. He kept us informed and anytime we had any questions I contacted him and he got back to me quickly. I always texted him and called when needed. I know attorneys are busy in and out of court and in meetings so I didn't want to take up his time from working on cases. Christopher advised my fiance to get on the scram cam as a pre plea. This would help him in court if need be. We got the run around from the scram place. They said he needed to be sentenced first. So I contacted Christopher and he gave me a womens name. I called the scram place back and got ahold of the women Christoper referred us to. She handled everything. He always kept us informed if he was running late due to being in another court room. He negotiated and did everything he could and got my fiance the best outcome. He was facing jail time due to his prior. He was able to get one case down to a wet and wreckless, 5 days community service with half time and the other case 10 days community service, with 3 months dui class. Regular court fees. All in all I'm 100% positive we got the best outcome. He knows his stuff and will fight to get the best outcome. He will go over the D.A to speak to the supervising D.A if need be. If you are looking for an attorney who can get you the best outcome Christoper is the best. Hopefully we never need his services again. But it's good to know we know someone we trust. He is worth more than what we paid for. So call him today and thank me later

I reached out to Christopher Varnell when I needed help and he really came through. He personally…read morereturned my call right away and was professional throughout the whole process. He was very responsive (texting me back almost always instantly). To find a good lawyer who replies in a timely manner is hard enough, but to find one who TEXTS you back for every question? AMAZING! I was nervous about the process and pretty in the dark before reaching out to Christopher but he was more than willing to answer questions and walk me through everything step by step. He didn't make any guarantees on outcome, but was very knowledgeable and I left his office confident. Also smiling in the end with the outcome. He is very direct and to the point, so if you're looking for a lawyer with just buzzwords, fluff, and all-talk, he's not your guy. He's very familiar with Contra Costa Country courts and has good connections which is always a plus! If I run into anything again or I have friends who need representation , I will definitely recommend Christopher Varnell.

Carin and Pooja have talked us through numerous situations and have helped us understand everything that's going on.

This review is for Carin Johnson. She consulted on my case in early Feb. She had to go after…read moretalking for 50 min , and assured me she'd call me back later that week about follow up to my case. She never kept her word. After at least 2 voice messages & 2 emails over the next month , she didn't bother to respond. I later found out she had consulted with a family member of mine about same case, but didn't disclose it. She may not have known, but after I informed her, she still failed to respond. Most upsetting was her being judgmental and untruthful. I very much felt she was judging me as being not in a social class level she approved . She told me she doesn't drive to take cases in my county, yet she told my mom she'd take the case . Additionally, it's listed on her website that she takes cases in this county. She told my mom $350 hourly is her rate. She told me it's $500 hourly. The worst part, she presents as though she is empathetic and yet she showed me zero empathy when I was forthcoming with her about the desperate situation I'm in and my case.
