Simply the BEST!

I cannot express how grateful I am to Mr. Hart and his team. In February, I was arrested on DUI charges. I'd never even had a ticket, so I was very stressed and lost about what to do. I called/met numerous lawyers, read reviews, contacted previous clients, but still I could not make a decision. It's'... very difficult since many attorneys say just what you want to hear. I listened to my gut and went ahead and hired Mr. Levin. I could not have made a better decision! He was honest from the beginning and speaking to him made me feel at ease. I was later connected to Mrs. Celia Cho, who works with Mr. Levin, and I must say that she is amazing! This amazing team was able to have the 2 DUI charges dropped! I couldn't not believe it! Truly they for their clients and it showed every step of the way.

AMAZING ATTORNEY, YOU NEED HIM!!!

I have so much gratitude for Hart Levin and his team. Getting arrested was terrifying and I thought my life was over. I literally had a panic attack. They arrested me for DUI and possession of narcotics, because a friend had left a small baggie of drugs in the back seat when the cops ordered us out o...f the car. I got horribly depressed after the arrest thinking that I ruined my career and this was going to haunt me for the rest of my adult life. So I started asking around about who should help me and Hart was recommended to me. But I wanted to do some independent looking so I went online…and Hart was clearly the top choice. At first I didn’t believe some of the reviews because they were so great. And I have to admit I was skeptical. So I met with a couple other attorneys in West LA and near downtown LA. Total waste of my time. The first guy told me to do a ton of AA meetings and admit I had an alcohol problem – so ridiculous. I hardly ever drink and I was shocked he was asking me to do say that I was an alcoholic. The second guy was crazy expensive and so I then met with Hart at his office. Hart immediately put me at ease. He explained the process but also explained that I was going to be okay and he could help. He is an ex-DA so he knows how it all works in court. He clearly had a TON of knowledge about fighting duis and criminal cases, but more important to me was that I felt like he cared about me and my situation and I wasn’t just a number to him. He sat with me for an hour and I felt a huge weight lifted off me by the time it was over. I hired him on the spot and he even gave me a payment plan. Hart put together a defense and on the 2nd court date had the drug charge thrown out through illegal search seizure. Now we just had the dui which was a relief. I wasn't drunk since I was the designated driver but the officer was really intimidating and demanding me to take a test and I asked him what my rights were but he got mad and said I refused. Hart did a dmv hearing for me and got the officer to admit that he didn’t properly give me my rights to take the breath tests and I wasn’t a refusal. He had the officers statements brought into court and got my dui thrown out too. I am sure not every case gets thrown out so I was shocked and super grateful. He was super responsive to me when I had questions (I had a lot) and didn’t get impatient with me. In the end all I can say is that my life is better because of the help Hart gave me. I don’t think he’s a magician, even though some people have said that in their reviews – I just think he’s amazingly good and truly cares. His staff was super supportive and responsive as well. So thank you Hart. Really I am so grateful you helped me and I will recommend you to ANYONE who needs the best help out there. And if you are someone out there who is in trouble for dui or drugs, I couldn’t recommend Hart and his team anymore!!! Don’t even bother going anywhere else. They are known as the best for a reason. They are awesome!!

The Best DUI and DWI Attorney in the CITY!

Hart Levin and his team are MIRACLE WORKERS! From first contact, they were attentive, understanding and FAST ACTING! I was called immediately once I submitted my query through his website and able to set up a face to face meeting within hours. Hart walked me through the charges - DUI, Hit & Run an...d Refusal and explained all the possible scenarios. He carefully discussed what each step of the process would entail and what to be prepared for. Once engaged, he completely took over. He presented the best possible case to the DMV regarding my refusal but ultimately the DMV enforces the mandatory 1-year suspension just about 100% of the time. The refusal carries mandatory jail time but he got that erased. He appeared at my hearings on my behalf and I never stepped foot in the courthouse. It's of course a terribly stressful and slow process but he kept me completely updated and aware of important dates and appearances. I don't know how he did it but the man made magic happen with my deal. Refusal was dropped, Hit & Run was dropped & DUI was reduced to a Wet Reckless and only 12 hours of classes - all this despite the D.A. wanting jail time for the accident and Hit & Run - ALL ERASED! No community service, No interlocking device, No probation officer, No additional license suspension - that could have been up to 2 years! He professionally navigated me through easily the worst experience of my life and I can't thank the whole team enough. He's the top rated DUI Attorney in Los Angeles for good reason, he's simply the BEST!

Simply the best!!

HART IS A ROCKSTAR ATTORNEY!!!! I felt compelled to write about my experience with Hart and his firm. In July I was contacted by LAPD about a possible hit and run with a car that looked like mine. I had nothing to do with it and was asked to interview with the police about the incident which I had z...ero knowledge of. There were some old scuff marks on my bumper and the officers tried to say that it was caused by this other hit and run incident they were accusing me of. I was totally panicked and freaking out. My brother in law works for the LA County sheriff's department and I went to him for help. He told me to call Hart because he's referred a bunch of people to him in the past and he is really great. I called Hart and he made me feel much better. He was really calming and told me the best way to go about fixing this situation. I told him I was innocent and I'm an professional and I can't have anything like this on my record. He told me not to worry and that he knows exactly what to do. So he had a private investigator find evidence that the damage to my bumper was more than a year old. Hart had the the investigator order surveillance video from a bank that was on the corner of Sepulveda near where the incident supposedly took place. The bank didn't even want to provide the video but Hart contacted the branch manager and by the time the conversation was over he was given access to the surveillance tapes. The tapes showed that it was a car similar to mine but had a license plate that was 2 digits off. He turned over the info the the LAPD and the entire case was dropped. They even apologized to me about the misunderstaning and said your lawyer did excellent work. I believe I got the best result but I'm also really appreciative of his team. Alison worked with me on a payment plan which made it totally affordable and gave me several months to pay the balance. Hart and his team were really responsive whenever I had any questions. I doubt I'll need his help again but if I do, I know who to call. They are the absolute best!

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...ances of a dismissal or the equivalent. Hart was extremely responsive (all emails answered within hours) and represented me for a fair price. Most importantly, he succeeded in getting the prosecutor to decline to prosecute. When I heard the news I let out a huge sigh of relief - one that I'd been holding the whole time. I would recommend him without hesitation.
