Great DUI lawyer

Mr. Routsis is a phenomenal attorney, years ago I had a miscommunication with the law and was so young and terrified of the legal system. I had no idea what I had gotten myself into and was left feeling very lost and overwhelmed. Mr. Routsis and his assistant/secretary were so helpful, answered all o...f my questions, and communicated step by step to me about the process during my experience with his practice. At the end of the day, my charges were dropped and I was able to move on with my life without the stress and weight that had been hanging over me for so, and today I am a happy to recommend William to anyone seeking criminal legal consult!

Superb

I would like to say how impressed I am by the representation I received from John Routsis in my recent trouble. I have never been in any type of trouble with law before. However, I believe I had the best possible experience and outcome. After interviewing several local attorneys, I made the right ...choice with Routsis, based on the professionalism, knowledge, and support that I received. Mr. Routsis took the time to learn my character and sincerely cared about the result of my case. He is highly intelligent, presents well and his ability to understand data made him a formidable opponent to the prosecutor. He made sure that I understood my charges and the possible consequences. He went the extra mile in research and discovery to get the best results I could possibly expect. Additionally, his Legal Secretary, Josie Saladis, is indeed excellent at her job, including the skills to manage time and people. I came to respect her very highly. Mr. Routsis and his team gave me valuable support that I needed through this experience.

Great Lawyer! I recommend!

Mr. John Routsis was a genius that worked hard for me. I was in big trouble with 149 pounds of weed pulled over on the freeway. His law office was a joy to communicate with, and prompt with responses. His main Law Assistant, Jose Saladis, is competent and reassuring. I ended up with the Felony r...educed to 2 misdemeanors, and summary probation. Hire this lawyer! You won't be sorry.

John Routsis took great care of smokin snowboards!

I just ran across this and thought I would let everyone know John Routsis is an incredible attorney from my experiences. He got me off when I should have gone to jail to say the least.
