Justin James Duran

I was falsely accused, jailed, and charged with a felony (along with a misdemeanor) that could have put me in prison for quite some time. Justin Duran secured a dismissal of both the felony and misdemeanor, in a case that at the onset looked very difficult to overcome on paper. Not only did Justi...n provide me with expert legal guidance and advice throughout the entire process, he helped me navigate through a very complex, evolving situation and legal process—both inside and out of the courtroom. I had countless questions before, after, and in between hearings—Justin always took the time (when he wasn’t in court and working with other clients) to thoroughly answer my questions and truly treated me with care and respect in one of the most frightening periods of my life. I can’t thank him enough. Justin and the entire team at Meltzer & Bell are extremely professional, attentive, and caring. When I was bailed out of jail, I reached out to Meltzer & Bell, and within the hour Larry Meltzer called me directly, and the took time to help calm me down, review the case, and explain to me what was going on from a legal perspective. That same afternoon they were filing motions with the court and producing affidavits. Larry is an expert, and provided so much support and guidance as well before placing the case with Justin. I can’t thank Larry enough for he and his team’s work on this case, and for placing me in such great hands with Justin.

Misunderstandings can surely result in cascading effects that place an individual in an undesirable situation requiring legal representation. I was the individual, and I had no idea where to go. I contacted Meltzer & Bell based on their excellent reputation and professional competence in the sect...or. In a matter of minutes, Larry Meltzer himself spoke with me about the alleged scenario and briefed me on the next steps before connecting and assigning my case to attorney Justin Duran. Larry began working on the issue immediately, and within two weeks, Justin had a clear (likely) outcome and course of action. This young attorney (Justin) was as sharp as a scout sniper, and in less than three weeks after taking over my case, it was resolved to the desired outcome! Please be aware that they are Veteran and military-friendly, which was a deciding factor as they knew that communication had to be on point at all times, which it was.

Well I was falsely charged when I was called in the interview with the detective and Justin was on my side explaining that there was no crime involved but they detective did a poor a job seeing the situation and so was still arrested and Justin helped me through the process then finally when it came ...to the courts he was able to talk to the prosecutor that there is no case here and got my case dismissed quickly. Thank you very much Justin truly lifted a weight of my back from this.

I was in a situation where I needed the service of an attorney. I was recommended Mr. Duran through a family friend. I went to his office, and we had a meeting, he walked me through what were my options and what he recommended. He was patient, knowledgeable and took his time to explain all the legal... lingo. My whole process took a year, and he was their every step of the way representing me. I was innocent and the charges were product of a misunderstanding. Mr. Duran believed what I said, and requested my charges get dropped, and also if it came to a trial, he was confident that we could win. I never expect to find myself in a situation like this again, but if it did, he would be the first person I would call. Thank you again Mr. Duran.

Mr. Justin Duran is an outstanding attorney. He is very smart and courageous. He was very focused about my case and kept me up to date throughout the entire time. At first I hired another attorney for my DUI case and she kept postponing my case for over 2 years. Afterwards I contacted Meltzer & Bell ...and Mr. Justin Duran took over my case and he was able to reduce my DUI charge to "reckless driving" within just around 5 months. Afterwards I hired him again for my "Probation Violation" case. He was able to terminate my probation. I'm so glad and thankful to Mr. Justin Duran for everything that he has done for me.
