Mr. Kestenbaum displayed a level of professionalism I had not yet experienced. Every experience and encounter was highly admirable as his ability to practice with a balance between aggressiveness and integrity resulted in success with my case. Aside from his ability to produce results in the courtroo...m, Mr. Kestenbaum provided me with a sense of comfort from the time I met him. His impressive conduct kept me calm until the court reached a decision which was was a remarkable result. Mr. Kestenbaum's outstanding ability to practice law combined with his admirable conduct as a professional allowed for not only a successful case outcome but kept me, as a client, collective and confident throughout the entire process. As I have worked with numerous other criminal law firms in the past, I can say that Mr. Kestenbaum is the best I have yet to experience.

Mr. Kestenbaum completely saved my life and my career. Not only was I happy with the outcome of my case, Mr. Kestenbaum brought me comfort and much support while my case was still pending. He really put me at ease when I felt most vulnerable and was always attentive to my needs. He is a kind, wonderf...ul human being and is by your side 100% of the time. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Kestenbaum to anyone to represent them in a heart beat. Thank you for all of your hard work and time you put into my case.

07/2011 I collided with another auto from behind while making a u-turn at an intersection, and due to a personal medical emergency did not stop at the scene. I phoned LAPD to acknowledge my involvement and provide identification after returning to my residence which was less than one mile away. ... Subsequently I was charged with felony hit and run. The second counsel that I contacted was David Kestenbaum to defend me in this matter. Mr. Kestenbaum quoted me a reasonable fee for resolving this issue, even if necessitating a jury trial. As circumstances developed, the claimant demanded unreasonable and exaggerated compensation for this incident. Mr. Kestenbaum never once encouraged me to make a settlement which would diminish his time and effort to resolve the charges. In fact, he took personal umbrage at the extent of the claims made by the claimant. He negotiated at length with the judge assigned to my case and the city prosecutor. Mr. Kestenbaum advised me to have a trial by judge as he thought it would be the best way to illuminate the amount and nature of the charges involved and put them in perspective. I chose, do to my own scheduled obligations, to pay a fee to resolve the issue and have the charges dismissed. Mr. Kestenbaum made the arrangements per my request, which absolved me from any further liability of any kind. There are those in the legal profession who will take your deposit up front, bill you to death, and treat your circumstances as a methodical series of procedures which will involve the least amount of time and effort on their part. I initially engaged one of these attorneys through naïveté and ignorance. Mr. Kestenbaum definitely is not one of these. I will endorse and refer Mr. Kestenbaum to any one in my personal circle of family, friends, or clients who may be in need of his practice in law. Richard Barclay
