Additionally Karthik was very responsive and was proactive in following up with me on developments in my case. Lastly Karthik was knowledgeable, transparent, and patient in breaking down the intricacies of my case. I appreciated his service.
Karthik Krishnan, great attorney, great service, great outcome
I am very pleased with the services I received from attorney Karthik Krishnan, he worked on my DUI case in which we prevailed. He managed to avoid a license suspension, a court conviction, an most importantly he manage to get the arrest sealed in Ventura county. On my first contact with my attorney I was very nervous and panicking over the situation, however he managed to calm me down explain the situation of our best case scenario and worst case scenario he put me at ease and picked up the phone every single time I called him at times where he couldn't pick up the phone he texted back so communication was over 100% at all times. I recommend him for any situation based on his professionalism his dedication to my case and of course our great outcome. Forever grateful thank you once again Karthik Krishnan.

A Huge Help
I can't thank Karthik Krishnan enough for being an incredible lawyer who stood by me during a tough time. He represented me in a crucial matter at the Torrance courthouse, and I couldn't have asked for a better advocate. Karthik was not only highly knowledgeable about the law and the court process, but he was also genuinely caring and responsive. Whenever I had questions or concerns, he took the time to explain everything in a way that made me feel at ease. His dedication to my case was evident, and I knew I was in good hands.
In all honesty, if you're looking for an outstanding lawyer who genuinely cares about his clients, Karthik Krishnan is the one you need. I highly recommend him for his exceptional representation, responsiveness, and the care he puts into his work.

Karthik Krishnan is best. Highly recommended
I am very fortunate to meet Karthik Krishnan and he agreed to handle my two misdemeanor counts in Ventura Superior court. Unfortunately i ended up arrest with two counts absolutely no proofs to prove am not guilty to officers at that moment. Karthik well observed my statements, situation, police reports and explained me the best way to handle the issue. He better knows how judicial system will work and he worked on ground a-lot in my case. He was patiently answering all my questions and made me more confident and comfortable throughout the process. Karthik updated me all the pretrial actions, advised me to patiently wait and he appeared most of the court dates on behalf and handled completely. Initially Prosecutor’s intention was to arrest again issued warrant by court but Karthik well defended and convinced Prosecutor and Judge arguing that am not guilty, cancel the warrant and ended up dismissal of all the counts by pretrial judicial diversion. His defense knowledge is remarkable all the times. Judge ordered one year judicial diversion with certain conditions but i ended up with case dismissed and closed in 6 months.
Am non-resident alien thought my life over but it seems like got new life and never forget Karthik Krishnan in rest of my life. Highly recommend him to help any issues. He is very understanding and helped me good deal for all the pretrial process until seal the arrest records.
Thank you very much Karthik.

Health Diversion Granted
Karthik Krishnan represented me in a difficult felony case out of the Van Nuys court. He was knowledgeable about court proceedings and the law. Empathetic, and considerate of my position. Quick to answer that which he knew for a fact and to research fully that which he did not. Through all my court proceedings he kept me updated and aware of my options. The felony charge was dismissed and a health diversion was granted. I'm very thankful for his representation in this case, and would recommend him to anyone.

A couple years ago I had a matter out of the Pasadena Court and I needed a lot of help to say the least. It was a trying and stressful time for me and my family. I was lost and confused and quite anxious as this had been my first time in a situation like this. I called MULTIPLE law firms and most did not even bother to call back after leaving messages and a majority of them felt like they were rushing the conversation. But Karthik stood out and that's why I chose him and his law firm. He was responsive and took the time to listen to my situation. He dished out a game plan right then and there at the very beginning - it goes to show how he's been working at the system for many years and has a ton of experience. And most importantly - he was very honest and did not sugar coat anything at the least. He stuck with my for nearly 2 long years until finally, as long last, the case was dismissed and everything dropped! It's been a long journey and I'm glad it's finally over but I could not have done it without Karthik and his team. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a solid, well-rounded, and experienced attorney! Thanks guys!

Great job!
I had a very important legal matter that needed to be dealt with, and Karthik Krishnan did an amazing job resolving the matter at the Airport Courthouse. His knowledge of the law and court process made it possible to resolve this issue faster than I expected. I am glad that I called Shouse Law Group, and that Karthik Krishnan was my attorney.

Last year I had a matter out of the Metropolitan Court that I needed help with so I retained Karthik Krishnan for representation in my case. It was a confusing time to say the least with all the hearings and process but Mr. Krishnan's diligent work from start to finish made it very smooth. He was very easy to work with and always answered any questions I had. He was very responsive and made sure to listen to all my concerns in the case with sound recommended solutions, provided peace of mind. Not only was he able to help me with the court case but he was also able to win my DMV hearing and was able to avoid any dui charges. Karthik Krishnan is a great Lawyer who goes the extra mile for you! highly recommened.

Karthik Krishnan
Karthik Krishnan was extremely professional, knowledgeable about the law, patient to explain all the possible steps and outcomes of the case, and always available to clarify any questions or concerns about a family member's legal case in Los Angeles Van Nuys, as well as outside of LA.
From the moment he was consulted over the phone for an initial interview, until the end of the case, which was successfully resolved, he never failed to show care, attention to detail, and a realistic optimism in every interaction we had with him.
Mr. Krishnan goes above and beyond to ensure that his clients understand their specific court processes, and that their decisions are well-informed and confident. He is available to go over details, answer diverse questions, and patiently explain any minute legal aspect in a way that was both accurate and accessible to the layman.
I recommend him and attest that he provided his client with the best counsel as well as a humane demeanor during a very difficult and trying moment of their lives.

Case was Dismissed!
I highly recommend working with Attorney Karthik Krishnan. He represented me with a case out of West Covina Courthouse and was able to get my case dismissed. He was patient, understanding, and extremely knowledgeable about the law and court processes. He was able to answer every question I had and more. Additionally, he is really easy to talk to and communicate with. I did not feel judged at all. During our first conversation, he told me "You are not your worst mistake" and I appreciate those words more than anything. Highly, Highly recommend!

Case dismissed
Psychological support is very important especially when you are facing a legal problem that may end your career and fortunately I found this support on the part of the great lawyer Karthik Krishnan that fate put in my way. He is a person with great professional experience. Once you talk to him, you find that he is a person who knows the law well and its loopholes. He is also a responsible person, as soon as I put my question in Google he called me directly and told me how he can help me. What I like about him is that he is a person who does not manipulate your feelings just because he wants to take the case for money, but that he informs you of the reality of the situation and helps you find a solution. Communicating with him is easy, he always answers my calls at any time, and he even provided legal advice regarding another case in which I needed the opinion of an expert lawyer. He is a great person. I recommend anyone who has a legal problem to appoint him because he is a wonderful person by all accounts. My case was rejected and this is what he told me from the beginning, he made me feel comfortable in dealing with him, as in all the sessions I did not even have to go to court and even to his office. He really saved my life, he knows until the right time to speak to the judge to ensure the case is won. My case was a lost case, and there is no hope for 1% of it to be dismissed, but it was dismissed because of his intelligence and experience. Thanks a lot Karthik Krishnan you really saved my life

Case Dismissed!!
I had a misdemeanor citation for something beyond silly in my opinion. I have a friend who is a big corporate attorney and she recommended I call Karthik Krishnan ASAP and to avoid using the Public Defender because they may make a deal that may not be favorable to get through a big case load.
It was very important for me to not have anything on my record with my job and Karthik made sure that would be the outcome. My case was processed at the Airport Court house and he called me with the good news that the case dismissed and I wasn't being charged.
I am very happy with Karthik's service. He was knowledgeable and responsive. I have never been in any trouble so I knew nothing about the process, so he just took care of everything and that made me feel comfortable.
I highly recommend him!

Karthik saved my life
Earlier on last year, I was informed that a detective wanted to speak to me regarding a false accusation. This was a matter outside of the Downtown LA Courthouse. With that being said I began looking for legal representation, and that's when I found Karthik Krishnan on Shouse Law group. Karthik advised me to remain silent as he took immediate action as my defense attorney. Karthik always calmed me down when I felt anxious with his quick responses to my questions. Karthik's proactive approach and hard work in the pre-charging period of the case allowed NO CHARGES TO BE FILED AGAINST ME, ALLOWING ME TO KEEP A CLEAN RECORD. if it wasn't for Karthik and Shouse law, I'm not sure where I would be today. Thanks to Karthik and Shouse Law I can live my life and chase my dreams.
