Ross Howell Sobel

Let me start off by saying its important to read/write reviews because thats why I called Ross and when we spoke the reviews were right, he is one of the best lawyer I hired for my mother's DUI refusal and this is why. Before I met Ross, a year earlier I got my first DUI case and went with a differen...t lawyer. my lawyer talk the talk but was no help AT ALL and didnt know crap and just wanted my money. when i started doing my comm. service and classes, I started telling people my DUI story. they gave me some information that my lawyer didnt tell me before accepting my deal. I felt ripped off. SO when my mom was being charged with a DUI refusal, I wanted to help her pick a good lawyer. when I went through all the letter/flyer law firm had mailed to her home, I came across Ross letter. When we spoke he was upfront about my mother's case. he was honest and told me what i should expect for a dui refusal. He has a good connection at the courts, very friendly, reasonable fees and will work out a payment plan if you are not able to pay in full. I felt very confident about him so i hired him. At the end of it all, he got the refusal charge dropped to a first DUI charge 3 month classes, 11 days comm. service, court fees and most important NO Dirver License suspension. As for the DMV part even though i hired him after the 10 day mark for DMV hearing, my mom and i told him how important it was for her to keep her DL and not get it suspended for one year. He fought for my mom DL and WON the DMV hearing! HE MADE THIS STRESSFUL, EMBARRASSING SITUATION A VERY EASY PROCESS. I really appreciate and thank him for everything he has done..He is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! You're the best ROSS!

I have a tendency to get really wordy so let me sum this up: Ross Sobel is the kind of Attorney that other attorneys should model themselves after. Why? Because then many more people would have much more faith in the legal system. Or in just one word: Integrity Ok now i'll be a little more wor...dy: From the very beginning of my very scary situation (arrested for suspected DUI) Mr. Sobel, who i was referred to by a friend, was very upfront and very candid about what i should and what i should not expect. He told me things that a salesman would never tell a prospective client; the truth! lol. He guided me through a very annoying and stressful process and dealt with me even when i contacted him with my excessive neuroticism and hyperactive speech. When things didn't go perfectly, Mr. Sobel stuck by my side more like a friend than a paid-for attorney; like he himself had something to lose if my situation wasn't improved by his service. In short, if you're going to hire an attorney for a situation that cannot have a guaranteed positive outcome (like a DUI case) then hire Ross Sobel. He has the ability and knowledge to potentially "win" your case, but more importantly, he's upfront about the fact that it is not a guaranteed win, not for any attorney, and he is a good companion to walk with through a pretty miserable experience. *quick note: bureaucracy is an important part of the legal system and Ross Sobel is networked well

I was arrested back in April, by young CHP, out for blood, looking to By the time I returned home their were 15 or 20 letters from attorneys in my mailbox. With a breathalyzer result .09/.09 I knew it would take some legal gymnastics to get this reduced, but I was so close to the line that it was po...ssible, but this would be my 2nd DUI within 10 years. All the websites said it was an impossible feat the get a 2nd DUI reduced in California, of all states!!! I didn't give up and goggle'd, yelp'd and avvo'd every attorney letter in the mailbox and dwindled them down to 3. I choose Mr. Sobel because he, didn't promise me the world in court, which I was good, as I know to never go with the attorney that does. He was incredibly specific about the all the players that would be involved at my particular court, Metropolitan, He even said that it was his favorite court and literally rattled off about 10 names from judges and city prosecutors to cashiers and clerks. Most importantly he said straight out that he would work with me on the fees, but that stood firm on the fees because of his proven record, especially in this court. Mr. Sobel had a game plan that made since, no of this getting off on a technicality myths you read about, but showing my character along with his reputation to come to a compromise, if possible, but I tell you he made it work. Sobel took a 2nd DUI within 10 years and come out of court with a Wet Reckless, with less fines, less alcohol classes and most importantly NO JAIL TIME! Do yourself a favor and call him, listen to him, if he says he can help you, hire him. Ross Howell Sobel has the reputation and skill you need on your side.

made a bad experience as painless as possible. prompt, honest, he knows what he is doing and keeps you informed. he knows the courts and that experience is put to good use on a clients behalf, good communication skills.always returns calls. He does what you hire him to do in a pleasant non jud...gemental way. i would say, no need to look furthur , this is the guy you need.

After DUI arrest, I was terrified. In a couple of days I started to receive numerous flyers from various law firms and did not know what to do. I randomly called and consulted with a few attorneys and none of them gave me a good vibe until I spoke to attorney Ross Sobel. After a few minutes into our ...conversation I felt I can trust him and I knew on the spot that I want to proceed my case with him. Well I just had my court yesterday and It turned out to be the right decision to hire him. He reduced my DUI charge to a lowest misdemeanor charge (abetting speed contest). He was very knowledgeable about DUI, since that is his specialty. What impressed me most about him was his confidence, honesty, very strong connections at the court, warm and friendly attitude, follow ups, being proactive and reasonable fees. I was very comfortable to call him whenever there was a question about my case and responded to my calls in a timely manner. He even provided me with his personal cell number. It was a great pleasure to be represented by Mr. Sobel and I am so happy that I chose him. If you really need help, you don't need to doubt the quality of attorney Sobel's service. I do appreciate all your assistance...
