SImply the BEST!!!!
In 2015, when my wife was arrested for a DUI, it was completely devastating for the entire family. None of us had ever experienced anything like this and didn't know what to expect. I knew it would be best to hire an attorney and after researching reviews on Yelp, interviewing a number of attorneys a...

Highly Recommended
I engaged Hart for a cycling while impaired charge. It was a fairly ridiculous situation, and every lawyer I consulted with told me as much, but as a professional who needs to maintain a spotless record I was nonetheless freaking out. I wanted to ensure that my choice of attorney would maximize my ch...

Matthew Cohen of Hart Levin
I was arrested for DUI back in February, and the very next morning I called Hart Levin's office. I honestly didn't look at a single other attorney, because everyone on yelp said they were the best. Hands down, BEST decision ever. They hooked me up with a great attorney named Matthew Cohen. The...

Best Lawyer Out there ..... Hart has Heart !!!!!!!
I came to Hart facing a second DUI, still on probation, and refusal of a DUI test. Therefore, I was scared to death. Having so much on the line when it came to my personal and professional life and was not sure about the consequences I could face. I found Hart on yelp and now I understand why all his...

First Time DUI Reduced to Wet Reckless
Scared and Worried to the core, was my situation when I was pulled over and arrested for DUI. Had a couple of drinks and left a friend's place, never imagined it could turn around like this. Now I realize it was a very stupid idea. Just to let you know, you will be scared and worried until this all g...
Hart Jasper Levin's Lawyer Endorsements
"Hart is a stellar attorney! From time to time I need to refer a client to a criminal defense attorney and I have never hesitated to refer the client to Hart. I have heard nothing but excellent feedback from the clients I have referred to Hart."
"Hart Levin is a brilliant attorney who cares about his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Highly respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I have worked with criminal defense attorneys, civil litigators, and quite a few corporate attorneys throughout my time practicing. When I secured Hart's services for a friend of mine, I was expecting a criminal defense attorney with the same approach as every other criminal defense attorney out there. This certainly was not the case. From the moment my friend starting working with Hart I noticed something different about his approach with clients, he is engaging, proactive, and always communicative. Now, the prior may not seem very impressive, but when one considers how many clients he works with and how many different matters he addresses, it is thoroughly impressive. His ability to engage with the client, take charge of the situation, and provide the guidance necessary to resolve the issue presented in an expedient manner is second to none. I WHOLLY endorse Hart Levin for any of your criminal defense needs."
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Hart as a prosecutor and now as a defense attorney. He is smart, dedicated and has a tremendous amount of courtroom experience. His results speak for themselves."
"I was defending a felony DUI case in Compton Court when I met him, good guy!"
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I saw Hart in court today handling a motion and I was impressed with his skills in cross-examination and how he represented his client. I didn't know him before today, but was impressed with his abilities as an attorney."
"I do mainly corporate and employment law. Its good to have Hart's expertise and professionalism for Criminal matters. His clients not only get a committed, hard working attorney, but they also get the benefit of his insight into the district attorney's office."
"As a corporate attorney, I refer criminal matters to Hart Levin's law office. Hart is an experienced criminal-law professional and a strong advocate for his clients. His insight as a former deputy DA is invaluable. Hart is flexible and understanding - a true professional whom I trust to put up the most vigorous defense."
"I worked with Hart back when he was a Deputy District Attorney. Hart is very skilled in honing in on the salient facts and issues of a case, and knows everything there is to know about how the DA's office works. His experience and natural ability combine to make him a true asset to anyone in need of criminal defense work."
"Saw him in action last week - always attached to his phone and incredibly responsive to client matters. I strongly endorse Hart - I was impressed by his interactions with clients and how available he was to them."
"Hart is an experienced, tenacious criminal defense attorney to whom I have referred numerous difficult matters. He is the attorney you want to represent you when you have a lot on the line."
"Great guy; excellent legal mind. I endorse this lawyer."
