Justin James Duran

Justin is nothing short of amazing. He helped me through the whole process of my case and made everything simple to understand. He provided me with a peace of mind through the process which I needed. He’s always there to update me and is efficient in his work by helping it drop before it got to trial.... I’d give him a 12/10 if I can. You can’t go wrong with hiring him.

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.

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.
