James Ira Devitt

I was charged with a DUI, Jay was able to fight the DUI and was able to get my license reinstated and avoid jail time. He is very knowledgeable and knows how exactly what he is doing. I definitely recommend him to everyone; he was always available when I had a question, he answered me promptly and ex...plained everything to me. When in doubt of an attorney James is the person you want to have. Thank you Jay!

About a year ago my niece found herself facing some serious charges. After visiting her in jail my family and I ran across a young lady who gave me Mr. Devitt's card and said call him. The best decision I ever made. Not only is he knowledgeable but he gives it to you straight. Having counsel that kn...ows what he's doing makes all the difference in the world. He's very responsive and flexible. We were able to have a consultation over the phone and have a game plan. He even went to visit her in jail to give her encouragement. My niece ending up facing no charges at all. It's no wonder that a year later my niece got into another bad situation , I didn't hesitate to call Mr. Devitt. Again the outcome was favorable, she ended up facing no charges. Truly glad I met Mr. Devitt. I will definitely refer him to anyone in need.

My boyfriend got arrested recently, and charged with receiving stolen property with two strikes on his record. I search all night for criminal lawyers in LA and came by Devitt & Saltzberg. I called them and they saw me within a hour. Walking in the office scared with the tears in my eyes I met with ...Mr.Devitt and Ms.Panah. We went into their conference room , and I told them my boyfriend past history. They explain to me about his charge, look up the case right then and there on the computer. The next day we went to court house and the DA was offering 3 YEARS in state prison with a possible strike. Tears start coming to my face with fear because it no way that I was going to lose him for 3 years over this nonviolent charge. My lawyers did some research on the case, and filed for the Romero motion for one of his strikes. In two weeks we went back to court, and he receive 18 MONTHS with his strikes REMOVED. THANK YOU GOD!!! I swear I thought he was going to get another strike and serve 25 years. James & Star made it happen and we are so happy with his sentence and their amazing services.

HOW MANY TIMES I PAYED MANY ATTORNEYS. I PAID LIKE MORE THAN 4 AND NONE RESULTED IN THE WAY I WANTED. HORRIBLE WORK, THEY DIDNT EVEN SHOW UP TO MY CASES, SO I WAS HOPELESS RIGHT THERE IN MY CELL IN COUNTY JAIL SITTING FOR ALMOST 7 MONTHS. A FRIEND OF MINE INSIDE THERE TOLD ME THAT I COULD CALL THIS G...UY NAMED JAMES & THAT HE WAS TRYING HIS CASE & THAT HE WAS ABOUT TO COME OUT IN 2 WEEKS. IN MY DESPAIR, I CALLED HIM & HE ANSWERED QUICKLY IN A POLITE MANNER. HE ANWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS & FROM THEN ON HE TOOK MY CASE. HE EVEN OFFERED A DISCOUNT & SET UP A MONTLY PAYMENT WITH GRACE PERIOD. AFTER TAKING MY CASE ABOUT A MONTH AGO, HE SET ME FREE FROM JAIL & SAVED FROM PRISON. IM RIGHT HERE WITH MY FAMILY CELEBRATING THIS GREAT MAN WHO DESERVES THE SUPPORT OF EVERY CALIFORNIAN.

I've never been in trouble before, so when I was caught and charged with a DUI, I was beyond scared. I'm completely oblivious to how the system works. My friend recommended James and it was a godsend. Right off the bat, he laid out exactly what I should expect, what the outcomes could be, and wh...at my options are. He quickly answered any questions I threw his way. And we never crossed any boundaries until he made 100% certain that I was comfortable with any of the decisions being made. The actual process went far smoother than I assumed. I barely had to deal with the courts and in the end, I got the best possible outcome. One thing that sticks out about James his that he's really personable and helpful. I never felt intimidated by him, but knew that he had a firm grasp on everything going on. I would recommended him in a heartbeat to anyone else in a similar situation.
