Joseph Andrew Pertel

Despite the circumstances I have to say that it was a pleasure working with Joe. He exceeded my expectations. Joe genuinely cares about his clients and does his best to get them the best outcome for their case. His rate is fair for his excellent services. Joe works to move the case along as quickl...y as possible and is respected by judges and district attorneys alike. I can not say enough about how much of a great attorney Joe is and I have referred many clients to him. It is hard to find a honest attorney that will fight for you but I can honestly say that Joe can and will get the job done.

I was taken to jail for car insurance fraud. I retained attorney Pertel, I let him know I wanted to possibly plea to a misdemeanor in my case. I was facing two felony charges. He said let me see what I can do. We went to court, the prosecuter presented their part of the case and then Pertel presented... my side of the case. In short (which happened to be a very long day) Joseph Pertel had the case thrown out. I could'nt believe it. I'm glad I hired him and I'm glad I didn't take a deal. Since then, I have recommended attorney Pertel to a few of my family and friends and they have all been very satisfied with the outcome of their cases. To bad he doesn't do custody, my children's mother is taking me back to court.

I cannot say enough in this review of Joseph Pertel. His knowledge of the legal system was beyond my expectations and because of this, I was confident he was always leading me in the right direction. As well, I knew I would win my case. He guided me in decision making where it was needed and gui...ded me always in the right direction. Joseph Pertel was very clear and upfront in what he was doing, what he was researching and why, he did this in every aspect of the case. His honesty and integrity are above and beyond, he showed this every step of the way and never treated me as somebody incompetent because I did not know the ins and outs of the legal system. Besides being an incredible Lawyer, he is one of the nicest people to know. I was more than pleased with the outcome of my civil case and we won everything we asked for.

I am a criminal defense attorney, so when my family member was arrested I knew that I'd have incredibly high standards for her lawyer. Joe Pertel met and exceeded all of my expectations. When I called him for an estimate, he was incredibly friendly, candid and compassionate. His rate was fair. He met... with my family over the weekend to get the case moving along as quickly as possible. Not only did he keep me abreast about developments in the case (with the permission of his client), he also made sure we all understood and felt comfortable with his strategy. Thanks to his years of experience practicing criminal defense law in Los Angeles and the impressive network of people with whom he has developed professional ties, he was able to achieve a fantastic outcome in my relative's case. He is obviously well-regarded by peers, adversaries, and judges alike. I cannot praise him highly enough and would recommend him without reservation to anyone. I should also mention that he was referred to me by another criminal defense attorney for whom I have the utmost respect.

I was fortunate to be referred to Joe Pertel by another attorney who worked with Joe in the past and thinks very highly of him. From our first phone conversation I realized that Joe was truly listening to me, and was also giving me complete information; he did not sugarcoat things. The combination ...of his extensive experience, and his authentic caring and compassion, brought my criminal case to the best possible resolution. Joe is extremely knowledgeable with regard to the Superior Court system, and is excellent in the courtroom; a consumate professional who is clearly well-respected by other attorneys as well as by judges. In fact, the outcome of my case was partially due to the judge's past experience of Joe as always being reliable and straightforward. Joe was available to talk with me when I needed his advice and encouragement. He walked me through each step with meticulous attention to detail. I am so grateful to have been represented by Joe Pertel, and recommend him without reservation.
