"To Protect and To Serve"

I was lucky enough to receive J. Tooson via a recommendation. My case was related to false claims of spousal abuse. He worked and cared about my case like it was his only one. I really appreciate his service. It was a very scary situation to live through and he took the weight of my shoulders. He's s...harp and dedicated to fight for justice. I had never been in a situation that required an attorney and I suggest you hire him as soon as a claim is made against you. He successfully got my case dismissed.

AMAZING AND HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL!

In the beginning of this year, I received my 2nd DUI, that also involved a car accident. Fearful that this accident has impacted the lives of the victims in the other car, may impact my reputation, and that this decision to drive after drinking would destroy my career, I searched around for an attorn...ey. I was originally charged with a felony, where the sentencing can potentially be around the ballpark of YEARS in prison. After meeting with Mr. Tooson, I was immediately relaxed by his steadfast demeanor, and authentic personality. He made no guarantees with me, but ensured me that he would go to work for me, and was completely honest about how these type of cases are handled, and their potential outcomes. Throughout this ordeal, Mr. Tooson and I worked on strategies to help this case work out more favorably. Together we had friends and family, anywhere from my professional life, to my circle in the non-profit sectors, all the way to my closest friends and family, to write character reference letters on my behalf. Mr. Tooson went over each of those letters with much scrutiny, and determined his favorite picks. Throughout this entire ordeal, Mr. Tooson would call me each time with updates. He was very easy to reach, or would call me back immediately as soon as he could. I never felt disconnected. After some negotiations handled by Mr. Tooson, and the District Attorney, my charges were reduced from a Felony, to a Misdemeanor. After Mr. Tooson took the time to meet with the DA, and present my life to him, my preliminary charges were announced to me. In a city (Van Nuys) where DUI cases are 99.99 percent made as an example for California Drinking\Driving Laws, and known for being notoriously strict, I prayed harder than ever. My connection with God has been thankfully strengthened by the power of prayer. And God's response to me, was not only a wake up call on my behavior, but a blessing. God used Mr. Tooson to deliver the message. As mentioned, I was facing the possibility of YEARs in prison. My charges were brought forth, and I was sentenced to 10 days in HOUSE ARREST! House arrest still allowed me to go to work daily, and allowed me to still be active and involved in my community leadership. I'm still going thru the hardships of understanding that my life, or the lives of others could have been taken away. But I am thankful that nobody was seriously hurt, and only minor injuries occurred. If it weren't for the diligence, hard work ethic, expansive knowledge, and the experience and network that Mr. Tooson has, I wouldn't have the opportunity to be writing this much appreciated review letter, from the desk of my work office. If you want someone you can depend on, and understand that they are working for you, and for your best interest, then I would ONLY recommend Mr. Jamal Tooson .

kept my clean record

I would recommend attorney Tooson, because without his help and knowledge in Criminal cases, I would've been facing years in prison. I was being accused of an ADW without a weapon. Luckily he was able to get to the D.A. before we even had any sort preliminary trial. He knows his stuff! highly recomme...nd

Highly recommend

Attorney Jamal Tooson helped my family and I when my fiance was facing over 16 yrs in prison. The charges were extremely harsh and not to mention, mostly false. This was an incradibly difficult time for us. Luckily, we found Attorney Jamal Tooson and now my fiance is coming home in two weeks. I feare...d i wouldnt see him in years. We made the right choice hiring J Tooson. If we hadn't hired him, my fiance would be in prison, instead he's coming home where he belongs. Also J Tooson answered all my calls and responded to every question we had very quickly, every single step of the way. Thank you so much to Mr J Tooson and his team. We are forever greatful.
