Professional and Honest

First and foremost thank you David for making my experience through all the legal proceedings flow smoothly and convenient for me as a client. If you are looking for a great DUI Attorney, David will go the lengths and dedicate his time to your case, you have come to the right place. David not only... represented me a professional way, but took my case personal and it showed in the final Dismissal resolution of my DUI. If I was able to give 10 stars I would! Thank you David

Exceeded expectations. Highly recommended.

From the beginning of my experience with David, he has delivered on his promises. I was cited for a DUI. He told me he knew everyone including the DA's at Van Nuys court from his decades of experience; it was amusing but true. David referred me to Anthony Scott for my DMV hearing and with his experti...se, the DMV set aside my license suspension. David ensured me that this favorable result and his expertise would strengthen my case. Two months later, my DUI charge was dismissed to an ex. speed plea! I prayed such a significant reduction, and with David's magic, it became a reality. If you're in need of a DUI criminal defense attorney, look no further.

Very professional attorney and has a great team

Mr. Kestenbaum has been my attorney, he is a very hard working and honest lawyer. He does not make promises he cannot keep and I am thankful he took my criminal case and vacated my charge. He always made things clear to me and explained every step of the way I put my trust in him and he did not let m...e down. I recommend him to anyone that seeks legal help, he has assisted a couple of friends and family members as well and has always assisted them to his full potential and we have had great outcomes. He has helped me tremendously And because of him I am now able to hopefully speed up my citizenship paperwork. He treated me as if I was his own family member. I will always recommend him and his team. Thank you David.

Best criminal defense attorney

In my life time, the most important decision I have made was to hire David Kestenbaum law group to handle my Criminal case, the crime I did not commit I was wrongfully arrested by Los Angeles sheriff for using so called counterfeit money and changed by DA for misdemeanor, petty theft. I hired Dav...id Chesley law office to defend me, the attorney assigned to me missed two court appearances even though I went to court on two hearing, they kept telling me that DA did not file the case yet, till one day afternoon, the attorney called me to be in the court in 10min or my $20,000,00 bail would be forfeited, shortly, he called s back that the bail was forfeited. I started calling the law office seeking for help. Lorena with David Kestenbaum law group patiently listened to my story kept saying “ it did not sound right”, she said she would call the court to find out what was going. Lorena called back within 20 min that I was under court warrant for missing court days. She even guided me to go to court immediately. I went to court by myself, the judge told me that I would be in jail right-way. After hearing my story, judge told me that Chesley office filed wrong motion. Judge asked me to drop the David Chesley law office and assigned me a public defender to help me out off warrant. I was released on “ Own recognizance” Following day, I met David, Matt and Lorena. They took time to review the case and laid out plan to have DA drop charge. They fought hard for me. Matt went to court with me four times, he brought all the characters’ letters from the People who know me to DA, he went to bank with me to test the similar money I have and it was good money, he arranged secret service agents to test the money in the custody, the sheriff destroyed evidence, DA dropped the case, Matt successful asked judge to reinstate my $20000 cash bail, arranged sheriff to return all my properties and no delay on expungement. Not only did they provide me to the best legal service I could ever ask for, they gave me tremendous emotional and psychological support. Lorena called almost weekly to update me, comfort me. That is above and beyond. I highly recommend Davis Kestenbaum law group to whoever need criminal defense. This would be the most important decision and they will fight tooth and nail for the defendants.
