Worst criminal defense in caifornia

5 hours ago This was my friends experience with this lawyer: 1. Never visited his client 2. Frequence delays; never shows up to court. 3. Never answers phone 4. Zero call backs Worst criminal defense lawyer in California; better off with a public defender.

Amazing

George worked on my case for 13 months and helped me out in ways extending out of the courtroom! He was there for my family as well and had our best interest in mind. George was the reason why I am here today!

Excellent Criminal defense attorney

Mr.Besnilian is excellent DUI and criminal defense attorney. Very knowledgeable and responsive to all questions and concerns. He provided excellent service, demonstrated professionalism and personal attention to all the details of my case. I am very thankful for his support and comfort throughout my... traumatic experience. Mr. Besnilian is an excellent, hard-working and tenacious advocate for his clients. I can not recommend him enough.

Dismissed

Mr Besnillian was a blessing sent from heaven. He was prompt, appeared for every court date and a gentlemen. He was straight forward and fought for my grandson. The threat case was dismissed and the gun case a very good deal for a felon with 2 strikes. I would refer him to family and friends. Thank y...ou Mr. Besnillian again.
