What our Clients Say

Max clearly communicated with me and my love one, He was always straightforward, with us about what the outcome of the case might be, even though complete certainty is never possible. He formed solutions unique to my love one’s needs. And for three years Max walked us through every steps of the case. The outcome was simply amazing. October/2024 my love one’s case was finally over without being charged and no criminal record like this case never existed. We are so grateful for all the work Max has done to get us to this point. Max, I can’t thank you enough.

We had no experience with criminal proceedings until a family member was arrested and charged. Max helped guide us through the criminal case process, counseled us to be patient and gather necessary mitigating information, successfully negotiated a reduced charge, and after informal probation, ensured expungement of the criminal record. We are so grateful for his reassuring style during this stressful time, and skill in working with the OC District Attorneys and other Court offices.

Max represented my felony case with a level of precision and savviness that comes with 26 years of practice. My felony case stretched for almost 3 years, with countless court dates. He would not settle for the terms of an unfavorable deal offered by the prosecutor. Max Strategically maneuvered my case to a judge that offered a reasonable plea that allowed my felony to be reduced to a misdemeanor. Max fought meticulously for me in court until my case was settled. He’s passionate about his job. I highly recommend him as a lawyer.
