Domestic Violence Restraining Order
Joel did an amazing job with my case. He consulted me about my case, informed me about every aspect and gave me advice and coached me through in order to arrive at the best possible outcome. Once I hired him, it was smooth sailing. Constant emails, phone calls to keep me up to date...every meeting we had he had a determined plan and he let me know what to do and what he was planning on doing. Overall, Joel is an experienced attorney with an amazing track record and astounding perseverance. My outcome was the best that it could be and I have to thank Joel for that. 10/10! Thank you so much!

Sharp and aggressive!
Joel was incredible in defending me in a restraining order hearing. He prevented a restraining order from being granted. I was very scared and nervous but he informed me of the process and prepared me for court which really calmed my nerves. He was very poised, well-spoken and truly shined in the courtroom in my opinion. He is my go-to attorney!

Knowledgeable and Confident
Mr. Garcia was extremely thorough in explaining to me everything regarding my case as to what I was facing, what my options were, and how we were going to proceed. He was extremely confident throughout and knew how to handle every aspect of the negotiations between me and the other party I was involved with in my case. At the end he was successfully able to negotiate a settlement and most importantly prevented the possibility of a misdemeanor going on my record. I am extremely thankful for his stellar work and would recommend him to anyone who wants an attorney that will fight for them in court.

Best Lawyer in LA area!
I cannot express how grateful I am to Mr. Garcia. I blew a .10, and Mr. Garcia got my case dismissed. I heard from many people that I might as well just plead guilty and be done with it because I was just way too over the limit. I am glad I decided to give Mr. Garcia a call. I explained to my situation and he assured me that I had a case that was worth fighting. Throughout the whole process, Mr. Garcia was very good at keeping me updated and out of jail! I didn't have to deal with missing work to show up to court, which was nice because I didn't want to create any suspicion within my workplace. Now I don't have to worry, because Mr. Garcia was able to have my case dismissed! Amazing work and I would highly recommend to anyone with a DUI!
