You Saved My Daughter's Life

You saved my daughters life. She was facing LWOP on a murder charge, Home invasion/Robery, she was innocent and you believed in her and fought with your passion and knowledge in the San Fernando courts. You freed her from a life in prison and gave her back her liberties. She will never forget you, yo...u were her warrior for the truth and the justice. Thank you Tal, you have given my daughter her life back. You are the man when it comes to crunch time and there is no where else to turn. Thank You Tal Wolf.

I WOULD RECOMMEND TAL FOR ANY CRIMINAL CASE

i knew Tal before my felony DUI arrest came up (college), and was glad to learn that he practiced criminal defense when the cops charged me (totally unfairly). I had an accident, and it was assumed I was drunk just because I was heading home from a local bar. I figured better to put the case in the... hands of someone I at least knew. It turns out these DUI cases can be really complex, there's scientific issues, cop observations, field sobriety tests, lab and breath-test issues, and I think Tal had a checklist of about 850 questions and challenges (I'm not kidding -- he showed me) that he had come up with over the years in order to fight these types of charges. Well, it too awhile and we almost had to go to trial, but Tal did not let up, he kept me fully informed about my options, and he had some really productive discussions with the prosecutor because eventually they dropped all charges for some kind of civil compromise (I had to pay for the damage from the accident, which I was going to have to do anyways). I would rate working with Tal as a really good experience under some really bad circumstances.

JUST GOT MY FELONY EXPUNGED

Hired this lawyer for getting probation terminated early. Still had a bit over a year to go, but have some job stuff my record been keepin me from (even though I pled guilty on bad advice from the PD). My lawyer Wolf got bunch of paperwork from me, and my family and stuff on my situation and took i...t to court, i guess mr. Wolf new how to get on the judge's good side 'cause all i know is I walked out of there not just free from my probation, but with the whole charge expunged so now i don't even have to say i've been convicted. Did he do the job right? Hell yeah : )Thanks Mr. Wolf

My Case Is Still Ongoing and I Don't Know How I Would've Survived This Long Without Atty Wolf

I've been working with Wolf (that's what everyone calls him) for over a year now trying to grind out some kind of peace and resolve from this multi-count financial fraud case i've been dealing with. The evidence LOOKED horrible at the outset (I'm in the escrow field and made some investments with ce...rtain funds that went south), but I am innocent of any crime,, and there was a misunderstanding from the beginning that led up to this whole mess. Wolf admitted to me before I hired him that he was not an expert in the inner workings of the escrow business, and that he would need to take the time to learn all the ins and outs -- knowledge that would allow him to ask the right questions, subpoena the right evidence from the various banks and accounts involved, and build up the right challenges for my defense. Well, we have made quite a team and I am finally feeling extremely confident about beating (or at least really reducing) these charges. Wolf has become like a second best friend to me, in the way that he cares about my cause, in the way that he has dedicated himself to figuring out all the possible angles in my case, and in the way i can reach him practically anytime of the week by phone without a second thought. He usually responds to my texts immediately or within an hour. "Lifesaver" -- that's the best word I can use. if everyone's lawyer was like Wolf there would be a lot less stress in the world. I've already recommended him to one friend of mine, and a family member on their own legal problems, and he has treated them no differently. Great guy.

Replied last November 29, 2012

I am not in the habit of discussing either my client's (or former client's) problems in a public forum, but obviously I am compelled to respond to the patently false statements contained in the above "review." These are the facts: 1) Within a week of retaining me, this client, who was recently convicted on felony charges for vindictive/destructive behavior against others, demonstrated herself to be unreasonable and impossible to work with; 2) Shortly after terminating our attorney/client relationship (without cause and not based on any actual breach of performance on my part, although that is her right), she learned that because I already had expended several hours of attorney time, she was going to be receiving only a partial refund. 3) The client then took the matter to fee arbitration to recover the minor portion of unrefunded fees, in which she made numerous false claims similar to the ones in her review; 4) The neutral Arbitrator found against the client in all respects, ordered her to pay all arbitration costs, and issued a statement of factual findings which is directly contrary to the client's claims. In short, the above appears to be retaliation for losing the arbitration case. In reality, the judicial record would show that I did go to court (contrary to the review), and that the client paid cash because a) she decided to hire me about 12 hours before I was to appear in court (leaving no time for a check to clear); and b) she already had bounced a check to my colleague who had referred me the case. Regardless, I wish her the best of luck with everything, and I regret that this unpleasant matter has made its way onto this forum.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I had the privilege of working with Tal Wolf on a complex case a few years ago. The facts were very complicated, the case was hotly contested, and our joint client was being sued by a wealthy individual with unlimited resources. This individual had the means and funds to hire one of the largest law firms in town. They tried to intimidate our client and force him into a settlement. They failed, not one penny switched hands, and the individual dropped the lawsuit entirely. How did this successful result come about? When the client hired me, I knew I needed extra firepower on my side, so I turned to Tal. We worked closely together for the many months the case was active. I realized early on that Tal was not easily intimidated, focused, passionate, and had the ability to quickly zero in on the most important facts and aspects of a given case. He has the ability to rapidly distill a complex set of facts, and strip it to its core. His logical and reasoning abilities are unparalle"
