absolutely loved her
I originally reached out in order to clear a warrant I was unaware I had put of state. I am in Texas and was not able to appear on my own behalf. I had concerns due to the fact I was to appear before the nursing board and needed everything cleared up asap. Michelle Mathes contacted me immediately and...

Outstanding Attorney!
I am so grateful to Michelle Mathes. Michelle worked hand in hand with Robert Ernenwein to achieve a great result for me in my case. I was charged with several counts in a criminal case. I was at risk of serious jail time. On top of that I could have lost a license I need with my career. Michell...

Phenomenal Lawyer
Michelle Mathes has saved my life. I am an Ivy League trained physician, who has graduated from Yale. I lived in PVE, enjoying a charmed life. Recently my life unraveled while going through a traumatic divorce and child custody battle. I was involved in a domestic dispute with my abusive husband. I w...
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Mathes and Mr. Ernenwein provided the framework for an important motion for defendants all over California. The template was well-written, well-researched and extremely thorough. Their hard word and generosity have already helped several of my clients."
"I’m happy to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Michelle Mathes. I’ve been working with and referring potential clients with criminal law issues to Michelle for more than 10 years. Whether felony or misdemeanor, the reasons I refer to her are really quite simple: she’s a pro; she’s got character and integrity; she knows what she’s talking about and she returns phone calls. If you have ever had occasion to take a call from a client looking for an attorney who can help on a criminal matter, you know that time is always of the essence. This is where Michelle shines. Michelle is a team player. Given that she only practices in criminal matters, she is always on the lookout for other attorneys to refer non-criminal work to. She’s a great resource. While Michelle’s practice is in Torrance, California, her clientele takes her throughout Southern California. Michelle is a wealth of knowledge and a great asset. Feel free to give her a call"
