Justin Paul Rodriguez

I am very thankful to attorney Justin Rodriguez and his staff. My criminal case was difficult because I had a high bail amount $1,000,000, I couldn’t hire an attorney myself, and unfortunately because of a previous bad deal I took at court on a felony DUI costing me two strikes, I was looking at an ...upcoming third strike consequence. My mom and supporting friends hired attorney Rodriguez to resolve my case even though the case was at the trial stage. I felt I had a bad public defender for the preliminary hearing, none of my alibi witnesses were investigated by the DA. Things only got worse at the trial stage, I would never talk to my public defender, he ignored my alibi witnesses, and we were ready to go to trial. For an attempted murder charge, the DA was offering me a ridiculous 25 to life sentence. Justin and his team talked to all my witnesses-5 total, they verified my alibi, and after several meetings that Justin had with the DA office to share this witness information, the court refused to back down on giving me additional jail time from what I had already served, they wanted at least 10 years, I had already served one year in jail. Justin and I had several conversations in jail, I explained to him why I couldn’t take the deal, because I didn’t do the crime. It was my decision to take the case to trial. Over 5 days we went through the trial process, all my witnesses were called, Justin did a great job presenting my witnesses, strongly cross examining the witnesses the DA called and debunking their testimony. The judge was being completely unfair on several issues and just favored the prosecution when it came to testimony of their witnesses and against any motions Justin filed and presented on my behalf. Justin spoke fiercely in his opening and closing statements. I had hope I could win the case after it was finished being presented to the jury, but of course I was still nervous, the judge’s actions I felt let it be known to the jury that she felt I was guilty. I couldn’t sleep because I was so anxious every night, the jury deliberated for 3 days. In the end I was found NOT GUILTY of committing attempted murder. I cried like a baby in the court room in front of the judge and jury, pure relief and happiness overwhelmed me. I cried so much no words could come out when I wanted to thank Justin, but his smile let me know he understood my emotion. I turned around to see my mom and my kids crying. I am thankful to attorney Justin Rodriguez for saving my life. I highly recommend his legal services for anything you need, he is a miracle worker, God bless him for his good deeds. - Mr. Fetters

I couldn't be any happier with the experience I had with Mr. Rodriguez. He answered my calls, even on a weekend, and walked me through the legal proceedings step by step. I always felt like he had everything under control. I was especially impressed by his ability to argue my side of the story in cou...rt. He was articulate, knowledgeable, and assertive. I was extremely happy with his professionalism...he was treated with respect by the DA and even the Judge! His representation and negotiating skills were top notch. Let's just say I walked out of the courtroom smiling!

I had a DUI case with Mr. Rodriguez and an outstanding warrant because I had failed to show up to court. He was able to recall the warrant within two weeks of signing up my case and managed to negotiate with the DA. I was able to pay a small fine, had some community service hours waived and go to cl...asses. I would definitely recommend him!

I hired Justin to handle a criminal case I had been charged with. The charges were quite serious, and I was looking at a lengthy state prison sentence. We a long prior history, I was interested in retaining a sharp lawyer, with a strong insight into cases like. His aggressive style of fighting and no...t backing down made him stand out from some of the other passive lawyers that were with their clients. At the prospect of doing state prison, he argued to bring my felony charges down to county time from three years in state to 1 year in county, and then pursued alternative sentence punishments to the point that I only did 7 days in Los Angeles County jail and 3 months under home confinement. Justin is skilled lawyer with a sincere drive to help his clients. Given my circumstances and my long runs with the law, Justin performed an incredible level of service that few can match up to. Have to admit, but he is professional and easy to work. People in delicate criminal cases should seriously consider a lawyer like Justin. They won't be disappointed.
