I contacted Manzuri Law at a time when I was feeling completely helpless and hopeless trying to navigate the Department of Cannabis Control. I had a provisional license that wasn't converted into an annual license due to a technical issue involving Metrc registration. After spending over three months getting bounced around and getting nowhere, I realized I needed professional help--specifically, an attorney who truly understood the cannabis industry. I didn't want someone who jumped into the space once it became mainstream. I wanted someone who had been involved since the early days--someone respected, well-connected, and active in the cannabis community. After doing my research, I narrowed it down to Meital Manzuri at Manzuri Law. When I called her, she didn't sugarcoat things or tell me what I wanted to hear. She gave me the truth: I had an uphill battle, but given the circumstances, there was still a fighting chance. Together, we began the process of challenging the revocation. After significant effort, we finally got to the point where the State was ready to reinstate my license. That's when the City tried to block it with an unexpected obstacle. Meital acted fast--she pointed out specific language in the City's own ordinance that supported our position. That forced the City to reconsider, and they ultimately confirmed the exemption and local approval. In the end, I got my license reinstated. I give Meital and her team at Manzuri Law the highest recommendation possible. If you're in the cannabis industry and need real legal help from people who know the space inside and out, I wouldn't trust anyone else. read more

These girls made the horrible court experience so much easier and less "kill me". Consultation was quick and easy and they were able to schedule me for court within a week. I had an old case from a 2013 dispensary raid in long beach and was nearly arrested on sight due to a 60k bail. I have a bail bondsman, but they called theirs right away to make sure he would be able to come down ASAP. However (and luckily!), Meital was able to ask for a second calling and figure out a deal with the DA and I was let off with 40 hours community service with the bail dismissed If you need a 420 friendly attorney who won't judge you or make you feel like you're a criminal who did something wrong, I definitely recommend Manzuri law. read more

Words can not explain how much of a savior Michelle Mabugat is. After getting into some legal trouble, I searched and searched for legal counseling. After many consultations and interviews with a number of lawyers, I finally came across Michelle's contact information. From the minute I spoke with Michelle, I could tell she was something special. Michelle was on the road, but immediately, she pulled over, parked her car and listened to my story. After talking with Michelle, I could tell that she was extremely attentive and caring. We then scheduled a meeting to further talk about the case at hand and to see if she would be a great fit to help me on my case. After meeting Michelle, I knew that she was going to be the one that I can trust to help with all of my legal troubles. From the get go, she was extremely attentive, asked multiple questions that other attorneys did not even think of, displayed empathy, and made me feel like a real human being. She did not treat me like the others, and after that meeting with her, I felt as if I've known Michelle my entire life. Michelle has always made herself available. She calls to check in and to ensure all of the proper steps are taken to ensure our best results. I say our, because she makes it a case and point to treat your case as it is her own. She is extremely knowledgeable and always proposed multiple solutions. Michelle will fight for you and honestly will do anything to help your best interest. Michelle has been a life savor and a savior. I highly recommend her for anyone who seeks a professional that will do nothing but fight for your future and YOUR best interest. Thank you once again for everything you have done for me Michelle. You are one of a kind! read more

I would like to thank the universe for connecting me with Michelle at a LA workshop DCR held. She sat next to me with her laptop taking notes and doing a bunch of things and that's when I asked her if she does licensing and the rest was history. I felt so good about her and her team that I hired her on the spot. She is such a shark in the Cannabis industry. Every time I text or call her, she will reply. Very down to earth and a pleasure to work with. I am so excited I found Manzuri Law. Thank you Michelle and team for all your hard work. Looking forward to much much more. Cheers. read more

Meital helped me with a traffic violation case in which I needed information about my rights and the "gray area" of certain laws. I contacted her after the incident and she immediately responded with a wealth of knowledge. She was very professional but also spoke to me in terms that were understandable to a non law savvy individual. She kept me up to date throughout the process and always had my best interests in mind. The law is definitely something I leave up to knowledgeable professionals and Metial has beyond proven her self as a great lawyer. Thanks for all your help Meital! read more

Last year, I ran into some dark times and picked up a felony drug possession charge in San Fernando Valley. Michelle was referred to me by another criminal defense attorney (who I would have hired if I could have afforded him.) As soon as she entered the case, Michelle filed all sorts of motions. The DA must have gotten sick of her after awhile because they ended up offering me an infraction to go away, which I happily took. Two months later, I picked up a felony drug sales charge in the SAME courtroom. The public defender told me to take the DA's first plea offer which was 16 months jail. Michelle came into the case, filed another motion, did a special hearing, and got my charges dismissed for the cop's illegal search of my car. In other words, after 2 felony criminal cases with Michelle representing me, I only walked away with an infraction. Besides reducing/dismissing my charges, Michelle really set herself apart with her warm and engaging personality. If you've ever been in trouble with the law before, you'll know that criminal defense attorneys rarely see you, pick up your calls or answer your questions. Michelle always took the time to explain things and return my calls/texts (she gives all her clients her personal cell). Even though she was surely swamped, she always made me feel like I was her only client and always seemed like she genuinely cared. Seriously, thanks Michelle for all you've done. I hope I don't have to hire you again. read more

OK! Ive seen the movie Charlie's Angels and it has some great ladies doing amazing things. Well Ive finally met the real deal! 3 amazing beautiful women that understand people and know their LAW! My partner and I, like most people, invested our money in a new cannabis venture and due to freak accidents, our house blew up and from the roof, while we were relaxing. So while our dreams are going up in flames at our new home, the police are making their fantasy come true by detaining and soon arresting us for all kinds of Cannabis & Drug charges in front of our new neighbors and remember while the house is burning to the ground. Now that our fire is all over the news, with helicopter flying above, etc, we started to receive mail and calls from all sorts of attorneys. We reached out to our network and some key figures inside the cannabis industry and we decided to retain this attorney named, "No Name" but his face is on billboards & he prides himself on his yelp reviews. He even came out to the house to see the damage with his kid, real good guy, right? Wrong! He wanted us to plead guilty. Cop out to all charges. Get it over with and pay. So of course we FIRED his ass, but we didn't smash him on yelp. 'YET!" Finally, someone with real a brain recommended us to MANZURI LAW, and from the first sit down I knew we found some fighters! Their approach to the entire system is easy going but on a high level. Put it this way. Our case was a walk in the park in comparison to a murder case but they treated our case like it was a murder case. They requested and requested and requested until the court couldn't take it another request. Long story short, we knew we wasn't guilty of the charges and the ladies went the extra mile to make the State prove what was stated by calling in over 9 police officers. Crazy move without a trial but it worked. Point to take from this review is that they will fight for you to the death! Retain them today if you have troubles. Retain them if you need legal help in the cannabis industry! Just call MANZURI LAW and tell them ERIC sent you. LOL read more

Michelle Mabugat is really an excellent criminal attorney. She was able to end my 3yr DUI probation at just one and a half year in. I contacted many other "experienced" attorneys before Michelle and they all told me it was impossible. Michelle was the only one that has the guts and wits to argue it out with the prosecutor, and made my case with the judge. In addition, she also got my other records expunged and now I got a clean record. All in all, Michelle is willing to fight for you; defending and exercising your rights to the fullest extent possible. read more

Meital pronounced (May-tall) is the jam. Although one of our case's/contract's does not allow us to talk about specifics, Meital helped us to a victory in a case with very ignorant/dense people. She knows her stuff and is very good at what she does. Her calm, cool, collected demeanor is great when you're all fired up about whatever your problem is at the time. Knowledge and quick wit is a must in the legal profession and Meital has it all, leaving the opponents wondering what just happened as their case crumbles in front of them. She's helped me out in more ways than one, from family law that involved some criminal elements to legal advice in potential cases with other people who are/were breaking the law, and will soon have to pay up once the cases move forward in court. Meital is well worth the great reviews she gets! read more

I'm not sure if I will be able to find words to express how grateful I am to Manzuri Law and the ladies running the show! That they know the law and they know what they are doing goes without saying. I was blown away by the way they handled my case in the court room. I had just been in a fire and lost everything I owned and on top of that being wrongfully arrested for drug possession charges, running a dispensary out of my house, manufacturing (don't remember exactly what....) etc etc etc While I watched my house burn down LAPD put me in handcuffs and took me down to the station. Barefoot in my PJ. New charges and "new evidence" kept on popping up from nowhere. I hired a what was supposed to be a top criminal lawyer to help me out. He was "one of the best" in LA, I was told. Turned out he only wanted my money and told me the best he could do was to cut a deal. That was not going to work for me. I was not guilty of any of the above charges. I got Manzuri Law recommended to me from a former judge and I called them up. I remember being a neurotic wreck walking into their office. I had no hope and no money left. They told me not to worry and that they would help me sort this mess out. Which they did. 13 months later I am now finally free of all of the drug charges and I get to keep my Cannabis license. They will fight for you! They will not give up! And they will find the way to justice! Its very obvious that practicing the law is not only a job for them, its their passion. They managed to make me smile during the worst time of my life! I felt safe in their hands from the beginning to the very end! Manzuri Law is my hero! Nothing but respect for this law firm! read more

Firstly, getting a DUI is a horrible Experience. I called the day after my arrest, balling my eyes out. Meital was very kind. The first thing she told me was "the hardest part is over with". It's true that the arrest is the hardest part. Other than the money dropped, everything was easier from there on. Meital did all the leg work. She was there for me when I needed to get advice or ask any questions. I reside in Orange County, and Meital still was present at any time I needed her to drive down. Dependent, kind, supportive, and tentative would be the words to describe Meital Manzuri. She truly made the whole experience as easy as possible. Thank you, Meital. read more

I'm writing this review minutes after receiving a phone call from Meital's office informing me that my entire traffic case was dismissed. This is now the second consecutive time I handed them my traffic incidences end BOTH TIMES they were able to get my case completely dismissed! Awesome!!! As a client, I am supremely satisfied with their service and attention to detail. There's no doubt, I will be referring them anyone who needs any advice or help with traffic related or court issues. Thank you thank you thank you Alexa and Meital...You ladies are incredible!! read more

She was there for me in an instant. Knowledgeable. Resourceful. She explained the whole process and all the different possibilities of what could happen, what the probabilities of them happening were, and what I needed to be prepared for. She kept track of everything for me, followed through with all of her preparation and plans, and kept me informed the whole way through. My case ended up having the best possible results and I believe that Meital had a lot to do with it! read more

Very helpful consult. Michelle is up to date on the latest laws and knows her stuff. It's a pleasure working with your team!

Dedicated, knowledgable and incredible are just a few of the wonderful words I would use to describe Michelle Mabugat.

After receiving a ticket for driving without a valid license or insurance, I thought I was doomed to pay a hefty fine and point on my record. But after meeting with Alexa, she assured me that they could help me out, and eventually got my ticket dismissed! Working with them was extremely easy and put me at ease. I highly recommend! read more
