Fantastic Service and Outcome!
We awoke early one morning to find that our teenage son had been arrested and charged with a serious crime involving an automobile accident. Andrew Leventhal was recommended to us by a friend of ours who is a trust attorney, and he came to our assistance that very morning with advice and instructions on how to best navigate the immediate circumstances. We literally had no idea on how to proceed. As well as giving us instructions and advice on how to proceed, and of great value to us, Andrew immediately established a sincere, personal connection with our son, giving him hope and solace about his future. Knowing that an event such as this can be a life altering detriment to a young person, he guided our son on a journey to restore his hope and self-confidence about his place in the world, and advised him on the practical steps he could take to atone for this error in judgement. He helped our son find a way towards the maturity of thought, action, and concern for others that most teenagers develop only later in life, and as a consequence, our son has matured into a responsible adult very quickly. As the case was complicated, the proceedings were postponed several times over the course of an entire year, and Andrew stayed with us, delivering the advice and information we needed in order to make the right decisions as the case developed. Our son was facing significant time in custody, and we were terribly worried. Our confidence was bolstered when at each of the five hearings we attended, attorneys that happen to be walking by would stop to shake Andrew’s hand, tell us that we were lucky to have Andrew representing our son, and to say “You have a great lawyer.” We think they are right. Andrew is highly respected within the legal community, and that pays dividends in the courtroom. Andrew’s solid knowledge of the law, and the everchanging developments that others in the courtroom seemed to lose track of, led us thankfully to a resolution that did not involve any time in custody. We were stunned by the sudden reduction of the charge and the settlement of the sentence, and by the incredible relief in suddenly knowing that we would not have to continue fighting it out in court for an indeterminant number of months or even years. Our son will be on probation, and must complete some programs and community service, but he will thankfully be able to remain in college, and he will be able to proceed with his life as an excellent young man. In the near future, with Andrew’s help and our son’s mature behavior, we hope to have the charge further reduced, and eventually expunged from his record. We are truly thankful for Andrews help and expertise, and our son is looking forward to a steady, compassionate future. Lastly, we want to call out Jasmine Leventhal, who is the Director of Operations, and Andrew’s wife. Jasmine was instrumental in the handling of communications from all of the many parties involved, and well as the hundreds of documents. She and Andrew have a growing family, and we developed a real, personal connection to them as fellow parents who understand the joys and difficulties of raising children. We think this sense of family was an important element in helping us through this difficult time, and we highly recommend them to anyone facing legal difficulties. Signed, Loving Parents of a Teenager

Andrew and his team were fantastic during my son's court case. It was hard for the family after my son got into so much trouble and was put in jail. The Leventhal Firm was very diligent in fighting for my son's life. Andrew went in full force with the DA and was able to get one of the most severe offenses dismissed. I will be forever grateful for the representation of this firm. I would highly recommend the Leventhal Firm and trust them with my most precious assets. Thank You from the bottom of my heart! A Happy Mom

I am so grateful I was referred to The Leventhal Firm. At the most difficult time in my life of uncertainty, the team at The Leventhal Firm did the heavy lifting for me. The communication is amazing, they didn't skip a beat and kept me updated in this whole process that I was going through. Both Andrew and Yvonne fought for me and made me feel calm in a very stressful time. I highly recommend them.

Game changing legal help
I contacted Andrew Leventhal and his team under pretty extreme duress. From the very first consultation Andrew laid out a clear strategy with regards to my case and also gave me some critical life changing advice (which I thankfully took). The Leventhal Firm did all the heavy lifting in my case which allowed me to put all my personal focus where it was needed most. Working with the entire team was incredibly easy, smooth, and professional. Andrew's legal expertise is fantastic and his knowledge of the law directly led to a resolution in my case that I would consider a "best case scenario". I'm incredibly thankful to Andrew and his team and I highly recommend them.

An Attorney that Fights For You
If you are looking for a team of warriors that will defend you with swords of fire, then look no farther. I've never seen such a firm that fought for you as much as The Leventhal Firm. They helped me have a voice in this case. If it wasn't for them, I'm not sure I would had even won. My case was difficult since it was involving removing a protective order from my child. However after being told "no" after several accounts before having their counsel, they were able win the case by having the protective order removed and my Felony dismissed from my record. I can't even begin to write all the work in this case from them. From Yvonne & Jasmine corresponding with the DA to reaching out to character witness of my behalf. Then Andrew coming in well prepared and persistent into the court room ready to have a response to every thing the DA & Judge had to argue. Not only that but their compassion and reassurance during all this was above and beyond. If you are looking for an attorney, do not look any further.

Highly recommend
First of all I'd like to apologize to The Leventhal Firm for not writing this review sooner. I was refered to  Andrew and I'm glad that I got pointed in the right direction. With all of what had been going on with the pandemic Andrew Leventhal along with Yvonne helped me with my case without having to show up to court . My case was a bit delicate since I have an immigration status pending and it was crucial that nothing would go into my record. Andrew is an absolute Pro, he does his homework and likes to truly help his clients. I fealt assuered and more at ease after meeting with him. I'm more than satisfied with the results and extremely thankful on how The Levanthal Firm handled  my case. Andrew has become an attorney in wich I recommend to anybody not just my family and friends.

He cares about his clients
While I am not a client or an attorney myself, I come from a family of attorneys from my father down to my youngest niece. My entire life I have been trained to spot an excellent attorney and I have seen that again and again with Andrew Leventhal. Without revealing his clients identities, Mr. Leventhal discusses his cases on social media to teach the general public about criminal defense law. After 6 years of hearing Andrew Leventhal make his arguments and discuss the facts, not only have I learned a lot about criminal defense law, when I look at what he is discussing through the lens of a juror I can honestly say after hearing his arguments, in every single situation I would vote to not convict. Andrew's passion for helping his clients and knowledge of the law is unbeatable. If you are in the situation to need a criminal defense attorney there is none better than Andrew Leventhal.

Best Lawyer
Andrew is an incredible lawyer - his legal knowledge, skill, passion and compassion is very unique. I was referred to Andrew by another well known and highly reputable attorney that used to prosecute real estate agents for decades. I lost my real estate license about 10 years ago because of a felony conviction that sent me to prison. The former prosecutor that referred me to Andrew told me that I needed to get this conviction dismissed in order to have a chance to get my real estate license back. He explained that Andrew would know what to do. I talked to other lawyers, but they didn't really know what they were doing. When I spoke to Andrew, it was clear that he knew exactly what to do. I hired him with confidence and he poured his heart and soul into preparing a petition to have my felony conviction dismissed. Andrew did it! He got my conviction dismissed, and referred me back to the former real estate prosecutor to help me apply for reinstatement. I am so grateful to have met Andrew. He is a special lawyer and a very good, honest man. Worth every penny….

Best lawyers!
The Leventhal Firm was a blessing in my life. After being falsely accused of domestic violence by my spouse, Andrew and Yvonne did a great job advocating on my behalf. They managed to convince the prosecution not to file/charge during the prefilling period. They also worked together with my immigration and family and law attorney to make sure my divorce and immigration status were handled correctly. I am really grateful for having knowledgeable attorneys representing me during this process. I highly recommend them.

Best attorney ever!
I was falsely accused of domestic violence and found myself in a world of problems. I was scared for my life and for my future oh, and I was a nervous breakdown. A friend of mine recommended Andrew which ended up being a lifesaver! Andrew and his Firm made me feel comfortable and secure throughout the entire process. His knowledge of the law is unmatched and the District Attorney's had no chance. Criminal defense is a serious matter, and if your are charged and convicted, your life will change for the worst. Don't hire Any average lawyer who may be able to get things done for you. If you want the best results for you and your specific case, you will definitely need Andrew in your corner.

The best, Andrew Leventhal!
I am eternally grateful for the Leventhal firm. Andrew handled my case in such a diplomatic way with fearless action. He really went to war for me with our justice system. As a single father, the stability and security of my two toddler boys were at steak, and my career and character was on the line. As you can imagine, this created a lot of stress and disappointment. But, with Andrew’s expertise, professionalism, and his level of understanding , give me hope to receive the best possible outcome. Few months later, he delivered an unbelievable result that I was overwhelmed with excitement and joy. He restore my life again. I will recommend The leventhal firm to anybody that is seeking a fair representation in our court system and he is committed in providing the best possible outcome.

Saved by Andrew & Yvonne!
Thank You Andrew and Yvonne for saving my life! Andrew exhibited confidence from the first call we had and was consistent through out this 6 month ordeal. I have never been in any legal trouble and had no idea how the system worked and shocked by the Felony charges; but Andrew and Yvonne were patient, compassionate and supportive - which in turn - helped me maintain some level of sanity as we waded thru the pandemic and the case. If I could - I would award 10 stars or 100 stars as a recommendation. Thank you again for truly saving my sanity, life and most importantly My Freedom!

Highly recommended - Andrew and Yvonne will fight for you.
I hired Andrew and Yvonne to represent me in a difficult, protracted legal situation, during which I had lost hope and became disillusioned with the justice system. I was ready to give up, but Andrew and Yvonne assured me to stay the course. They provided crucial legal advice and emotional support in a trying time for me and my family. Andrew and Yvonne were personable, driven, passionate and highly knowledgeable of the law. In court proceedings, Andrew was professional and highly-regarded by his peers. In the end, I trusted their judgment and we won the case. Andrew and Yvonne went above and beyond their obligations. I would not hesitate to work with them again. I consider myself fortunate both to have them represent me and to know them personally. I highly recommend The Leventhal Firm. They care about their clients and will fight for you.

Best defense team in LA
It was a pleasure working with Andrew and Yvonne. They were helpful in all aspects and very reassuring. They took charge of the case and did not bother me with minuscule and unimportant details. Most importantly they kept the stress level down until they had a deal on the table. In fact it was not till the end that I found out how much BS Andrew had to deal with from the DA and how many deals he turned down. I would highly recommend Andrew and Yvonne for anyone’s defense team.
