The best decision I have ever made by hiring Chris

I asked CBS Law for help with a felony case. I was scared and didn't know who to turn to, but after seeing good reviews of CBS Law on Google I booked a free consultation. I spoke with Chris at CBS Law, he listened to my situation and confidently said he could help. Above all, he was kind, even taking... my parents’ hands and telling them not to worry. I decided to work with Chris, and it was the best decision I could have made. During the scary months that followed, Chris kept me updated constantly and always knew exactly what needed to be done. I just followed his instructions. After a few months my felony case was dismissed, and I’m so grateful to Chris and the other staff. If you’re looking for a lawyer now, definitely reach out to this firm. They will help you and get the best possible outcome.

Received the Best Outcome for This Case!

I can't say enough good things about Chris Bou Saeed and the CBS team. He was compassionate and straightforward from day one. He broke down all the legal terminology and procedures into language my family member and I could easily grasp, which made a stressful situation much more manageable. What ...stood out most was how Chris made me feel throughout this process: respected, understood, and free from judgment. He remained upbeat and professional at every turn, and I truly believed he had my family member's best interests at heart. The way he extended that same courtesy and respect to both of us during such a challenging time speaks volumes about his character. The entire team was incredibly polite and responsive, always getting back to me quickly, which really helped alleviate out anxiety during such an uncertain time. Thanks to Chris's skill and dedication, their felony charges were diverted to military diversion. Once they complete two years of probation, the charges will be completely dismissed. It was the best outcome for this case and it would not have been possible without Chris. If you're looking for an attorney who combines legal expertise with genuine compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend Chris.

A life-changing case

It was sheer luck how Chris became my lawyer. When I was met with the pending doom of deportation, I picked with tears in my eyes, "That guy. He seems nice." And through the magic of Google, I found Christopher Bou Saeed, an oddity of a criminal justice attorney who didn't seem at all jaded by his ca...reer path. He handled my case with ease, despite the 'surprise' immigration implications that drove me insane. He spent hours with me on the phone, patiently breaking down the process and pathways the case could go. It seemed almost too easy for him. Before court, I wondered did I hire the right guy? Does he even care how this would impact my life? Day of court, Chris came prepared with all the force I had previously missed. He was energetic and confident in his presentation of my circumstances to the judge, maintained professional rapport with other counsel and expertly strategic in having a once damning, life-changing charge turned into a dismissal. Needless to say, I highly recommend Chris.

The Finest Representation Available!

I recently had the privilege of retaining Christopher as my lawyer. I say privilege because that's exactly how my experience working with Chis made me feel. He represented me in and DUI case from 2012 against the county of a Riverside Ca. Through His knowledge, tenacious work ethic and a clear and co...nsistent open line of communication he exceeded my expectations of professional attorney representation. As his client I was always well informed of my cases status, my possible options and a realistic outlook on conceivable outcomes of my case. Most importantly he provided me with the controlling power of decision making while always expertly advising me of my best option. With the states evidence being extremely strong Chris was still able to get all charges dismissed on basis of a "Serna motion". If you are looking for an attorney who is professional and extremely dedicated to protecting the constitutional rights of his clients then Chris is hands down the best choice. I can honestly say that if ever I need legal counsel again there is no hesitation on who's name would stand out. If I had to sum up my entire experience into one word, WOW! Would be the most applicable.
