Best possible out come for very serious charges

I can’t begin to express how satisfied I am with hiring Jeremy Lessem as my attorney. Prior to hiring Jeremy I was involved in a high profile criminal case were I had hired a high profile criminal defense team. I still had to serve prison time which complicated my most recent case due to my record. I...n the this most recent case I was fighting two very serious charges and was looking at more prison time due to my old case. Jeremy was recommended to my family from people who had experience with cases similar to mine. Those who recommended him spoke very highly of him and his results. What we wanted from Jeremy was a very unrealistic outcome for the case and he did not make any promises about achieving that out come. However, he gave us a clear and well advised path at achieving this unrealistic result. Within 8 months of hiring Jeremy we were granted the best possible outcome and I was able to avoid prison time and was also able to avoid my record being tarnished further. I advise clients not to question his process much because the steps he asked me to take after my arrest are what secured this favorable out come. I also noticed that Jeremy was very well respected by the various judges, DAs and attorneys in the court house. Most have heard of him, or had a past personal or professional relationship with him. This made things smoother in my particular case because there seemed to be a level of trust and respect that the judge and the DAs office had for Jeremy and his word. Jeremy also had a natural ability to stay on the Judge's “good side”. I ethusaticly recommend Jeremy to anyone with legal trouble. God forbid I have any issue in the future I would certainly hire him again. Jeremy might come off serious and cautious. He is not the type of attorney to sell you hot air, (I’ve delt with many that have and charge more it) but in the court room he fights intelligently for the best out come. He was always two steps ahead of the DA. He’s worth more than he charges. I rate him 12/10.

Trustworthy and Experience

I constantly telling myself that I was so blessed to have Jeremy Lessem be my attorney for my Sexual Offense Charges. I was represented by another very well established Legal firm at the expense of thousands of dollars and unnecessary frustration before I allowed Jeremy to take over my case. Compar...ed with the ex-legal counsel, I could see immediately the professionalism, knowledge, and dedication from Mr Lessem and his entire Legal representative department in helping the case and also the attentiveness of the office staff in handling the administrative and logistic work. I found Mr Lessem to be very experienced and most importantly very trustworthy. I was truly amazed by his abilities to manage the difficult situation created by my ex-legal counsel as cleverly as he did. I consider myself a very demanding and difficult client to work with, constantly needing to know every minute detail. He and his office staff were all very understanding and patient, however, and answered my every inquiry. I am so grateful to Mr Lessem and his entire team to walk with me through this stressful time in the most caring and thoughtful way.

Trustworthy & diligent, highly recommended!

Jeremy represented me in a misdemeanor case in which I was initially offered 120 days in jail. He was highly attentive to the case, and presented a strong enough argument to secure a plea deal of only 30 days community service. This also saved me the considerable cost of going to trial. Jeremy & Jama...al of Lessem, Newstat & Tosoon are both honest, trustworthy attorneys. I vouch for them personally to handle your criminal defense needs.

BEST ATTORNEY LOS ANGELES AREA

I can highly recommend Jeremy Lessem. He was able to get my hit and run case dismissed. I don't trust attorney's. I work in the entertainment industry and they can be real sharks. Jeremy is different. He returned every email and phone call. I thought with 100 percent confidence I would be convict...ed. He gave me the ultimate peace of mind during the very short process that resulted in the dismissal. I was a very difficult client and his patience with me was extraordinary. His fee was very reasonable. His phone number is on speed dial for me and my friends for future problems that need attorney attention. Michael

Do Not Hire This Attorney

Jeremy, is a bright Attorney however his desire for $$ led us to settle far too quickly in our case...had we fought the case a little longer and Jeremy put forth a more concentrated effort in finding the facts the damages created to me and my family could have been greatly reduced or avoided all toge...ther. Jeremy was quick to take my $$ and slow to perform. As a result a negative outcome was reached, my family suffered greatly and my life savings has been squandered! ***Please Do not Hire this Attorney***

While this client chose to author this review anonymously, it's my understanding that this pertains to a case I passionately fought for over 4 years that was just recently resolved. This client was charged with 2 separate charges that each required mandatory sex registration for life. The D.A. would not make any offer that did not include lifetime sex registration. As a result, we went to trial. We beat one of the 2 charges at trial and lost the other. The second charge was later overturned on appeal, based on legal arguments I outlined in a motion for a new trial. The client then retained me a second time to continue fighting this case for him. After about 2 more years of filing motions and fighting the case, the D.A. finally agreed to a misdemeanor charge with no sex registration, no jail, no classes and no community service. The client was even permitted as part of the agreement to report to probation over the phone as opposed to in person. On top of all this, the client's case was located at a courthouse 3 1/2 hours from my home. Far enough away that I often stayed in a hotel the night before the court appearances (and there were many). Despite this, I never charged the client for travel time or hotel expenses. I know my client's preference would have been a complete dismissal, and he was very disappointed that never happened. I share in that disappointment. I truly tried. Unfortunately, that was simply never an option the D.A. or judge would agree to. I was ready and willing to do a second jury trial, but this option was something the client simply didn't want to do. I am saddened that my client ended up not being satisfied with the work my office provided. I always want my clients to understand the care, passion and effort I put into their case. However, I am extremely proud of the work I did for this client, and the end result we achieved was exceptional. My hope is that at some point in the future this client will understand the quality of the work my office provided. In the meantime, if he ever wishes to discuss this further offline, I'd be happy to do it.
