Criminal case dropped by prosecution after evidence suppression hearing....!!!!!!

I have hired Risa several times..Risa is an amazing lawyer,who is down to earth and tells you like it is. Risa had my last case thrown out by suppressing evidence and also a traffic ticket thrown out on the same case. I would absolutely recommend Risa to anyone who has any legal troubles. Thanks ...again Risa YOU ARE THE BEST!!!¡ !!

The Lawyer you want

What Risa does is nothing short of performing magic. When I was seventeen I desperately needed not a good or even a great lawyer but the BEST lawyer and after doing my research, everything pointed to Risa. To me she was courteous, friendly and diligent but as soon as the trial began she was fully awa...re of the situation, completely confident in her own abilities and she conducted herself as a true professional. I had recently hired Risa again and I was extremely happy to see that nearly a decade later, her unrelenting work ethic and her meticulous nature has not faltered at all. Let me be clear, good lawyers try to deliver, Risa delivers. I can only describe the results as miraculous. If you're curious, the first incident I was involved in was a cop chase and the second I was approximately forty miles over the speed limit (+100 mph). The first was completely dismissed and the second I had continued as a sort of driving probation. Honestly, asking to get a reduced sentence seemed highly improbably, but getting essentially a second chance, I don't know how it wasn't impossible. But that's the kind of lawyer Risa is, because bottom line, she gets results. If you want to be put in the best hands, find your way to Risa. She is worth every cent. I recommend every friend I know to her and though I hope to never run into any more trouble, if I do, I'd find Risa time and time again.

Outstanding!

Risa represented me in several driving related cases 5 years ago. She was tireless in her endeavors to ensure I received a vigorous defense. Most attorneys would have been happy to plead out my cases , but Risa saw it through to the end, resulting in one dismissal and one CWOF on a reduced charge. I ...work in a field where a felony conviction would have been ruinous. I quite literally owe Risa my life and livelihood. It is impossible for me to overstate Risa's qualifications and determination in fighting for you.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
