Ive used other attorneys after using Alan for a case in LA county and boy did i regret not using him for my one case in ventura

I hired Alan after a recommendation from my old boss for a vandalism case in LA county due to me and my sisters ex boyfriend getting into a fight and me punching his glass-paned door window trying to hit him. I got a letter from the Van Nuys court house with the charges and gave that letter to Alan a...nd he worked it out better then i planned by me just paying for the ex boyfriends insurance deductible and charges were dropped like they never even happened. Alan had my case handled quickly and very professionally. You might think hes intimidating but that works to his advantage in court but he is truely there for his clients hands down i should of never used another Attorney after using him big mistake. He is by far above and beyond the best Criminal defense attorney out there.

The best

Alan is simply the best. My husband and I contacted Alan after a friend of ours highly reccomended him to us. We had previously seeked for a good lawyer to take my husbands case. No one seemed to want to take it. He had a warrant for 9 years for burglary. The few lawyers we went too said his case was... very "nasty" Alan on the other hand was willing to take it and help us out. He said it wouldn't be easy but he was willing to do his best to help us. He was very nice very honest and kind enough to give us payment options. It didn't take long enough before he said our court date was set. When we got to court all the odds were against us. It seemed like my husband was going to end up paying with jail days what he owed. I'm not sure what Alan did but he came out to tell us that the judge said for us to pay a fine and we were done! We were so happy to hear such good news. Not only did Mr.Alan saved my husband from going to jail but he also lend us the rest of the money to pay the fine! We will forever be greatful to him. I highly recommend him.

Amazing Attorney!

Alan came highly recommended from a celebrity friend when I needed an attorney for my boyfriend. Not only was he very astute, attentive and caring, there was zero pressure to hire him. I knew that he was best attorney I had met with. Over a year and half later Alan has been there every step of the... way, going way above and beyond what I believe most attorneys would ever do, and my boyfriend is free when it looked almost certain he would be in prison. Thank you so much Alan!
