One of the best Criminal Defense Lawyer in LA

I can't say enough great things about James Silverstein. He is both experienced and an expert in Criminal Law, and he came highly recommended by an attorney friend of mine. I retained him on a traffic case, and he made himself available before our 1st meeting to answer all of my questions over the ...phone (on a weekend). Then at our meeting, he listened carefully to everything I had to say about the case (I was pretty emotional), then he explained thoroughly about his experience with similar cases in the past, and was very honest about the possibilities of what COULD happen in situations like these. At the same time, he reassured me that he will do whatever it takes to fight the case. And HE DID! He got me out of a case, and I owe him my life! James is very good about following up on new developments, and giving the best advice on how to win a case. His assistants always made sure to return my calls if I had any questions/concerns, and I was continually impressed with the level of professionalism and service they provided. If you are looking for an attorney who can help, I highly recommend James Silverstein. He will and can help!

Result: Felony reduced to misdemeanor, summary probation

James is the man! We all make some mistakes, some more serious than others. I would have had to serve serious jail time if it wasn't for his experience, the way he was able to see parts of my case that I didn't realize would work in my favor, and of course his aggressive style in the courtroom. My fe...lony (you don't want to know) was reduced to a misdemeanor, and I received 3 years summary probation. No jail time! Didn't lose a moment with my kids. If you're looking for a real criminal attorney that knows the ins and outs of the legal system, James is the man.
