This guy is a former senior prosecutor who not only knows the law, he seems to know most of the prosecutors and police too

I did some research online to see who would be the best match for my legal situation and KEG seemed to be the right lawyers. During my initial consultation they gave me some good basic advice. I retained Mr. Kestenbaum and he spoke to the detective who claimed he wanted to arrest me, based on complet...ely false allegations. After a while he stopped calling and KEG refunded 100% my second retainer the first time I asked. I have the money set aside in case the detective actually does decide to carry out his threat to arrest me but I feel a lot more emotionally ready for that with Mr. Kestenbaum in my corner. Maybe the thing that stood out the most to me is that he is a former senior prosecutor who defends his clients in the same court system he used to work in. He not only knows how prosecutors think when they are considering taking on a case, he actually knows many of the senior prosecutors and police professionally and even personally as friends. He was also consistently nice and seemed to actually care about my case. Even the bail bondsman Dale he recommended was great, driving down to see me and continually following up with me. If I need to I will rehire him immediately and would recommend him highly to anyone facing criminal charges.

Restored our trust in lawyers

We had a great experience working with Mr. Kestenbaum. He was highly recommended to us by another attorney and lived up to the expectation. He was very professional in addressing all of our concerns, warm and caring on a personal level. Mr. Kestenbaum has an excellent common sense, and possesses gre...at communicational and interpersonal skills, which I believe contributed to him getting the case dismissed in front of a very tough but reasonable judge.

Mr. Kestenbaum has reinstated my belief in lawyers

After being charged with a violation of my probation on a strike, I was facing prison time. Having had a very negative experience with a previous lawyer, I've lost all hope in lawyers all together. Needless to say, I was quite skeptical in hiring any attorney whatsoever...HOWEVER, I am TRULY GRATEFUL... to Mr. Kestenbaum for taking care of my violation and getting ALL of the charges against me to be DISMISSED!!! David Kestenbaum- not only talks the talk- but walks the walk! THANK YOU Mr. Kestenbaum for helping me continue on with my life and bringing hope back into my family again!!!

Great Lawyer

I come from a family of attorneys and Mr. Kestenbaum came highly recommended to my dad. He was the first lawyer we discussed the case with and found no need to look any further. He made me feel comfortable and confident, as this was my first time facing a criminal charge. He is a straight shooter..., and did not sugarcoat the felony charge I was facing. But let me know that given the proper action by both he and I, the situation could most likely be resolved . He represented me very diligently, actually correcting the judge when he misread which count of the penal code I was charged with violating. He was impeccable in the court room, and had a great rapport with the staff, even the district attorney. He helped me personally by telling me what I needed to do outside the court to show that I was taking the initiative to fix my life. I complied with exactly what he said. With his expertise in the court and great personal advise my case was dismissed 9 months ahead of schedule. I was extremely happy with the outcome and his performance as my lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone.
