I went in to Elite Criminal Defense for a consultation about a year ago, having multiple open…read moremisdemeanor cases. I also had warrants, as I knew that I would be retaining private council versus using a public defender, but was trying to get my finances in order before retaining one. As such I didn't go for the arraignment and warrants were issued. I did go back and try and get on calendar, but only one of the warrants was retracted. My mother and I had a consultation with Manny Scribner. I would not dispute the positive things mentioned in other reviews about him. He is certainly outgoing, compassionate, and friendly. However, please do not be confused by the other reviews implying that he is a lawyer, or would be the one handling your case/representing you in court. It is, however, easy to understand why other reviewers, and you, yourself, during the meeting would believe him to be your potential lawyer. He represents himself as the person that would be handling your case. However, my mother noticed his business card said "Legal Administrator." When my mother questioned whether or not he was a lawyer and would be handling our case, he answered no to both questions. I asked who would be my lawyer and he could not tell me. He said me it could be one of three or four people and started naming names of people we had neither met or heard anything about, and said it's really whoever has time on their schedule. Manny is in fact the glorified "pitch man." Tells you that they can do whatever is necessary to get your life back on track, etc. He then asked for my mother's ID and debit card strangely, even though we had not agreed to pay anything and disappeared for about 5 minutes. When he returned, he told us the estimate for Elite's representation was $24,000 or $6,000 (!!!) per case. Again, these were MISDEMEANORS cases that were straightforward, cut and dry. I had a petty theft charge, a paraphernalia charge, 2 drug possession charges with trace amount of drugs found....these were not felonies or drug sales cases. There were no special circumstances or anything like that. They were very, very simple cut and dry that should be easily resolved with probation, deferred sentencing or dropped altogether. Given I did not have a record prior to these offenses. Jail time was not likely. We told Manny that we had another consultation with a lawyer and wasn't weren't gonna commit to anything however I knew from talking to others that had had some similar charges that the fee should be nowhere near double digits much less $24,000. He could tell that he was losing us so he disappeared again and brought back "the closer" who is an ACTUAL attorney - I forget his name, but asked us what's the hesitation? is it the price? I said well we have other meetings that we are going to take, but my mom interrupted and said yes it is the price. He then told us that if we signed right then and there, that they could give us a 50% discount but only if we didn't take other meetings and we signed before we left the office. That showed both of us how overpriced this firm really is. The lawyer proceeded to tell me that my life was in shambles. I had hit my rock bottom and that the only way out was by retaining their services so that they could bring me back and make me a respectable member of society again. I should mention that I am gainfully employed, making 6 figures and am certainly not at my rock bottom nor is/was my life in shambles. Maybe there are people whose confidence has been shaken by their legal troubles that might actually believe that BS and be shamed into retaining Elite's services, but we did not. I was offended by his characterization of me and my stature in society/life. All in all, it felt like a really bad used car salesman was talking to us. "Saying what can we do to get you in that car today?" Except in this case it was what can we do to extort money out of you for overpriced services? Needless to say, we did not retain their services. We later went to meet with the most respected defense attorney in San Diego, certainly by reputation and word of mouth, Roland Haddad. When I told him the quote that we were given, he said it is people/firms like that that give lawyers a bad name and why people think that we are all crooks. He was blown away by what they were going to charge us. He told us that no attorney should charge me anything more than $5,000 for my cases. He charged me $4,000, and I ended pleading guilty to one possession charge and received summary probation, which is a fantastic outcome, and certainly a much more favorable one than I had anticipated. Do yourself a favor: hire Roland Haddad or find a different defense attorney, preferably one that isn't part of the legal corporate churn, where you're randomly assigned to the attorney up on deck to take on a case. you shouldn't have to strain yourself financially to obtain competent legal representation.

Extremely Disappointed - Do Not Recommend In 2021, after…read morebecoming a victim of domestic violence, I was desperately looking for a lawyer to represent me in a restraining order case. Another attorney referred me to Timothy J. Richardson in San Diego. He quoted me around $3,600 as a retainer and said that if he won the case, that would be all I'd have to pay. I trusted him because the price seemed reasonable compared to other lawyers I had contacted. He took my statement and even spoke with my witnesses, but he never used them even though they were key to proving the abuse, my credibility, and that the abuser had been following me. On the day of the court hearing, I met him at his office in San Diego. He appeared very friendly with the judge. Instead of strongly advocating for me as the victim or presenting the evidence of the abuse (including from my witnesses), he simply requested a restraining order for a set number of years in a very transactional way. He showed no real care or urgency. When the judge ruled against me and even suggested that I was the aggressor for defending myself, Timothy said nothing. He didn't object, didn't defend me, didn't call any witnesses, and didn't speak up at all. I was completely shocked and confused this was my first time in a situation like this, and I expected my lawyer to fight for me. The case was lost, and I received no refund or even an acknowledgment that things went poorly. All he said at the end was "If you need anything in the future, call me." No apology, no offer to make it right, nothing. I still think about this experience years later. A lawyer is supposed to advocate and defend their client, especially a domestic violence victim. Unfortunately, Timothy Richardson did none of that. I would not recommend him to anyone going through something so serious.

We were first referred to him in 2018, when he represented us in seeking a reduction of a felony conviction.

Several years later, in 2024, we contacted Mr. Greene again for assistance with terminating a registration requirement. He worked tirelessly on our behalf, and in 2026 he successfully obtained the court's approval to terminate the registration. Throughout the entire process, he remained attentive, helpful, and committed to achieving the best possible outcome. In our experience, having an excellent legal team can make all the difference. Dan Greene and the Sevens Legal team provided exceptional representation, and we are deeply thankful for their hard work and support.

When my daughter was involved in a tragic motor vehicle accident that resulted in the death of a…read moremotorcyclist, our family found ourselves facing what we believed were completely unwarranted vehicular manslaughter charges. It was the most difficult and stressful experience we have ever endured, lasting over two and a half years. From day one, Jay Monico and the entire team at Sevens Legal stood beside us. We weren't looking for an attorney who would simply encourage a plea deal--we needed someone who would thoroughly investigate the facts, challenge the prosecution, and fight tirelessly for justice. Jay exceeded every expectation. The evidence showed that the motorcyclist was allegedly racing at an extremely high speed on a city street and should not have been operating the motorcycle. Despite those facts, charges were still pursued against my daughter. Throughout the case, Jay remained steadfast, fearless, and completely committed to ensuring that the law--not emotion or public pressure--guided the proceedings. One of the things that impressed us most was Jay's willingness to stand his ground. He challenged the prosecution at every turn and never backed down when he believed the law was on our side. His persistence, meticulous preparation, and knowledge of evolving California case law ultimately helped secure a favorable outcome for my daughter after more than two and a half years of litigation. This case took an enormous emotional and financial toll on our family, but having Jay in our corner gave us confidence that someone was truly fighting for us every step of the way. We will always be grateful for his professionalism, integrity, and unwavering dedication. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney who genuinely cares about his clients, is exceptionally knowledgeable, and will fight relentlessly for the best possible outcome, I cannot recommend Jay Monico and Sevens Legal highly enough. I sincerely hope I never need a criminal defense attorney again, but if I--or anyone I care about--ever does, Jay Monico will be my very first call.

During one of the hardest periods I've gone through, HHJ Trial Attorneys were there not just as legal advocates, but as people who genuinely listened and cared. They always took the time to hear me out -- even when what I needed most was simply a listening ear. I never felt rushed, dismissed, or like my experience was minimized. That compassion made a real difference while I was navigating the emotional toll of everything that followed the attack. At the same time, they fought incredibly hard on my behalf. They worked to reduce my medical bills and pushed the insurance company to provide the highest compensation possible, all while being honest, ethical, and transparent about the process. I trusted them completely because they never made empty promises -- just steady, consistent effort and support.

Our situation is unique in the sense that I'm not the actual client but was an interpreter for my sister. With that understanding, I handled everything except for when anything needs her signature, then she's the one signing, including the PI claim contract. That being said, my sister has never been a fan of attorneys or anything involving legal matters. She would avoid it at all costs but when she encountered her first car accident, in which she was a passenger, and sustained some pain and minor injuries, she wanted to handle everything on her own. Sadly, she didn't have medical insurance and the policy for both the driver at fault and her driver was not a big policy; therefore, she didn't want to see a doctor. Unfortunately, she ended up needing one and our search began for representation. We were very fortunate to have discovered HHJ Trial Attorneys online based on the many wonderful reviews they received. At first, my sister was extremely apprehensive at hiring an office so far away because everything has to be done remotely; however, eventually, she agreed to proceed. Without meeting the HHJ Staff in person, our experience with them was nothing short than perfect. Every single person we dealt with was extremely polite, professional, helpful, understanding, compassionate, knowledgeable, and responsive within their respective responsibilities. The claim went through smoothly getting her examined on a lien basis and HHJ even negotiated the medical bills down so that my sister could net more from the total settlement. We recommend 1000% for HHJ's service to anyone who may needs representation for personal injury.  They are the office to go to.  They will take care of you from the beginning to the end efficiently and effectively in all aspects without you have to worry, unless you're a worrier, then they would minimize that too.  All you have to do is let them do their job and all you have to do is to get treatments and, ultimately, you walk away feeling better and a winning result! You are our go-to attorney! We'll definitely recommend anyone in need of one.  We feel blessed all the way!!! Thank you so much HHJ.  Continue with your exceptional work!!!
