She didn’t give up

Donna’s experience and relationships saved me. She is in the major cases unit and still took my case, even though she could’ve transferred my case to new lawyer. Only Donna could have gotten me a non-strike through protracted negotiation, which took a lot of time and patience. She didn’t give up.

Top Notch- Should Be In Private Practice

Ms. Tryfman provided exceptional support for my son during his assault case. From the very beginning, she demonstrated a genuine commitment to his situation and worked diligently on his behalf. Her extensive knowledge of the law was evident, and it was clear that she was highly respected by both the ...judge and the district attorney. Ms. Tryfman approached the case with compassion, ensuring my son felt comfortable and informed throughout the process. She consistently took the time to answer our questions, which was invaluable during such a challenging time. Given her high-quality representation, I believe Ms. Tryfman would excel as a private attorney. Her dedication and expertise surpass those of many high-paid private attorneys. Thanks to her efforts, my son has received a second chance and is now moving his life in the right direction. I highly recommend Ms. Tryfman to anyone in need of a public defender.

Shawn Q.

Donna is a well-respected, reputable criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles County. She is empathetic and savvy. I was charged with a very serious charge, and she advised me to waive the preliminary hearing and set the matter straight for trial. I followed her advice, although I was nervous to hav...e this very serious matter set for trial. Based on Ms. Tryfman's experience, she advised that the witnesses will not show for trial based on the totality of the cricumstances. She was right! Not only did she get my bail reduced from over 1 million dollars to $200K, she got my case dismissed! I know any other attorney would have continued the matter ad nauseum. Donna is a combo of savvy, grit, and smarts all rolled into the best criminal defense attorney there is!
