Review

I paid this man up front and he did nothing for me. Just showed up looking like he had slept in his suit and hadn't even reviewed the information for my case as he still had to go see the D.A. in the courtroom. Huge, waste of space, I mean gigantic. If you like throwing away your money go for i...t. Read after the fact, he has been punished before for stealing clients money. I guess those are the ones he didn't show up in court for. When he does it is the same thing.

Great Knowledgeable attorney

I recently hired this attorney and he was so much more reasonable that other attorney's I contacted. He let me make payment arrangements which really helped me to be able to afford an attorney. I felt that he would be great at handling my case and he proved that he could do it; was very confident ...in the court room, returned all my phone calls and kept me informed on what to expect in court. He is a most excellent attorney and I am very glad that I hired him.

CRIMINAL

Never informed me on my case. Didnt show up to my jury selection. Never refunded me for the fees he was paid. Never returned my calls or file. Had to hire a new representative to assist.

The Talent YOU Need

When my husband was accused of felony possession of a controlled substance, we received numerous flyers and letters from various law firms. I found Don in them and after reading his reviews on various websites I was confident he would be the man to help us. From what other attorneys told us this ...would not be behind us for several months. I was quite surprised when my husband came home and said the case was dismissed after only the 3rd court date! Absolutely, a brillant attorney that knows criminal law. Don't look any further Don is the person for your defense. Don't let lawyer's tell you it takes time, because they will also take your money. Mr. Becker told us from the beginning how much this case would cost, and he stuck with that amount. He was trustworthy, reponsive to all our calls, and kept us informed. These is the kind of attorney and the kind of results you want!

BEWARE OF DON BECKER

BEWARE OF DON BECKER BEWARE of DON D. BECKER 4-08-09 He was given money to represent me on a matter of child support regarding non payments. He didn't ever file nor has he to this day. Then I contacted him on antoher mattier because my son was not returned from Spring Break from his visit with his... father. Don Becker was supposed to file contempt of court. It has been almost 3 weeks since my son was in school and still he has not filed the paperwork. Don't waste your time with him find a REAL attorney that cares. I am reporting him to the State Bar for not doing his job.
