    Anyone reading this is probably under a lot of stress... dealing with the courts and legal system…read moreis not fun, nor a task for the faint at heart. Michael Norris came highly recommended from a friend, and I couldn't be happier that I went with that recommendation. He eased the stress and panic off me after our first meeting. Having a full time job, and little to no experience with the court system, this was not something I had the time for, nor wanted to deal with, AT ALL. Michael Norris was extremely professional and great to work with from the initial consultation, to the court dates over a year later, I was regularly updated with the status of my proceedings, and he really made a nerve-wracking situation as painless as it could possibly be. His staff was excellent, I was never left out of the loop, and was always able to reach his assistant, Allegra, with one phone call. I never once had to hear, "let me find out" or "let me look it up." It really seemed like everyone in his office was on the ball at all times. His demeanor in the court was also very re-assuring. I am, by no means, qualified to evaluate an attorney, but he constantly had me impressed with his knowledge of the law, and confidence. Also, it seemed like everyone knows and respects him in the courtroom. I think this goes a long way and is worth every penny. Most important of all, he got my case was dismissed, and I know for sure that it would not happened if he weren't representing me. After my experience, I simply cannot imagine jeopardizing such a fragile situation by going with anyone but Michael Norris.

    When I say I owe my new amazing life to Michael and his staff, I mean it from the bottom of my…read moreheart. Not to get to in-depth but I was in a very bad place inside my soul, on the outside things appeared great but I was broken inside. I went to Michael because I had got into an issue with the law and long story short, he guided me thru not just the judicial part but he also made sure that I dealt with the root cause of my spiral... now I am happily married and thriving inside and out. Can't thank you guys enough for all you've done for me, I will always be indebted to you my friend!!!

    Worked with David in the past and everything went relatively well. Contacted him again for a basic…read moretraffic ticket and I haven't heard back. I called his front desk seven or eight times over the span of three months and they just kept saying they would pass along the message. There is literally no reason why they didn't reach out to me, the last time I worked with David everything went fine in terms of our communication and that was also a basic traffic ticket so it wasn't complicated or anything like that. On the last call, I asked them if there was any reason why I wasn't hearing back from David, and they told me they don't know and that I should just leave a message again. There was no apology or urgency to the matter, and they didn't seem to care at all that they were not responding. They also didn't seem to care when I told them I may have to find another attorney since I keep not hearing back, so I imagine they won't care if you don't call them either... Edit: Wow quick response. I don't understand how you've been having crippling phone issues for months while still having business, and I also don't understand why your front desk wasn't able to just pass my cell phone number to you, which is what I provided. That is an unprofessional excuse. Also, you didn't find anyone by this name because I don't use my real name public on social media. That's pretty common.

It was especially critical because I was in the process of getting into a profession very sensitive to backgroound checks. Mr. Dastrup was understanding of the urgency and was very clear about his rationale. The case was dismissed within a week.

Don is great at what he does, having helped people I know to lessen their fines/penalties and keep their jobs. My wife started working for Don a couple years ago and is much happier in this firm. She feels like she's truly helping people, unlike at her previous position with a worker's comp firm that represented companies sued by employees and/or customers. Don's impact isn't limited to those I know personally. His social media pages are constantly updated with stories of happy clients and successful outcomes. Today, I visited his office in Torrance for the first time. It's located in the giant California Bank building on Hawthorne Boulevard. Xander and I had lunch with my wife there since he's currently on winter break. I was impressed by the building, having only seen it from the street before. The parking was plentiful, and easy to find. The office itself was very tastefully decorated, especially the conference room on the 5th floor with its nice views. Before leaving, we took a quick picture in the entry/waiting area. I can't recommend Don enough. He might not be the cheapest option out there, but he's certainly the best for all your criminal defense needs.

    Mr. Seiden, Mr. Williams, and his staff could not have been more warm and reassuring during this…read morefrightening time. I first met Mr. Seiden and team ten years ago on a case where I was charged with three felonies and looking at sixteen years. Mr. Seiden got two of those felonies dropped and got me released on my own recognizance after being given a 1 million dollar bail. I got time served and three years probation. Team later had my record expunged which gave me reassurance to start anew. I was blessed to have started my businesses and live life. I wish I could say our ten year reunion was on different circumstances. Mr. Seiden's legal services were needed yet again. I was falsely accused of Felony Battery after being beaten by LAPD Officers and Staples Center Security Guards. As much as this process was, painful, humiliating, exhausting, and stressful, I knew I had the best legal team by my side. Mr. Seiden, Mr. Williams, and Beatrice were kind, patient, realistic, knowledgeable, and most importantly diligent. He and his team worked tirelessly in my representation, meeting multiple times with the D.A. to negotiate my charges. They kept me abreast of any changes or updates in my case, which was a godsend considering my livelihood was on the line here. I gave them full trust and confidence to represent me and they did incredibly well. After many months of negotiation, I can happily say Mr. Seiden got my Felony charge reduced to a Misdemeanor. After about a year of this madness, Mr. Seiden got my case dismissed. In other words, I was innocent! Now that this ugly episode is behind me, I can breathe a sigh of relief. I've learned so much over the last year, both Mr. Seiden and Mr. Williams were by my side every step of the way. The retainer is a small price to pay for the peace of mind of knowing you the have the very best on your side. If any of my friends or family find themselves in a legal jam, Mr. Seiden is their man. He is the absolute best! Thank you so very much for the willingness to help and work with me during this difficult time in my life. Your financial flexibility allowed me the privilege of being represented by you and the very best legal defense team. There are not enough stars to show how much I appreciate what he did for me. Thank you, Andrea Ugalde

    I was involved in a very serious car accident shortly after moving to a new town where I had no…read morefamily nearby, no close friends in the area, and my entire support network was back home. Adding salt to the wound, I was also navigating a divorce shortly after the accident. No community. No safety net. Just my physically injured self heartbroken and navigating one of the darkest and most isolated periods of my life. Finding Eunice during that chapter was one of the best decisions I have ever made. For context, my case took nearly four years from start to finish. Four years! Through every deposition, every medical appointment, every moment of uncertainty and pain . Eunice and her team were in my corner without fail. My injuries were severe. I underwent multiple surgeries, including an implant, along with a long road of treatments and recovery. Not only did Eunice fight for my case, she made sure I had access to the best doctors in the industry for every single procedure. She didn't just manage my legal situation, she looked out for my whole well being, as humanly as possible. She made sure I was truly taken care of at a time when I had very few people in my life to lean on, and when I deeply resented what my injuries had taken from my daily life. What stood out over these four years was the integrity and ethics of her office. In an industry where that's not always a given, Eunice and her team operated with transparency, honesty, and a standard of professionalism that never wavered. Working alongside them for almost four years showed me exactly what "best in the industry" looks like. Not in theory. In practice. Every single day. Over the course of four years, I was physically broken, emotionally drained, and completely alone. Eunice and her team fought and stood up for me every single day. That's not something I could ever forget. That's not something every attorney will do. I really don't have enough words to express my gratitude toward Eunice and her team for looking after not just my case, but my health, my recovery, and my life during the hardest season I've ever faced. The case finally closed. Eunice and her team went the extra mile to negotiate the final outcome, and I walked away physically recovered and genuinely grateful. Grateful for my recovery, and even more grateful for her and her team who stood by me every step of the way. When everything in life seemed to be spinning out of control, much like the accident that started it all. Making that one good decision to trust Eunice and her team was the path back to a good and wonderful life.

    I had the pleasure of working with Eunice Hahn and her amazing team and I couldn't be more grateful…read morefor the experience. From day 1, Eunice and her staff were attentive, professional, and truly committed to helping me through every step of my personal injury case. They communicated quickly, clearly, kept me updated without fail, and always made sure I understood my rights and options. Eunice is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but she genuinely cares about her clients' well-being. Her team is just as wonderful- very organized and efficient. I always felt supported, heard, and treated with respect. The outcome of my case exceeded my expectations, and I credit that entirely to their hard work and dedication. If you're looking for a law office that combines expertise with exceptional client care, I highly recommend the Law Offices of Eunice S. Hahn. They truly go above and beyond from start to finish!!!
