Ross Howell Sobel

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.

I was charged with my second DUI on 5/5/12 for perscription drugs and marijuana. The courts first deal was for me to serve 45 days in jail. Ross vigirously fought the case and got me down to just 1 day in jail and now I can live my life free of fear that I'd have to serve time with hardened criminals.... Ross was very knowledegable of the law and also had build long standing relationships with the courts which was imperative to me reducing my charges.

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.

Before I hired Ross Sobel I was going insane screening attorney after attorney. I wasn’t sure what I needed or the qualifications that would best help my situation. Ross Sobel was the only attorney to call back and follow up. I was impressed with him because after informing him that I was shopping ar...ound he did not sound mad or try to pressure me to hire him. I did what I think anybody does I goggled, yelp, and AVVO his name to see what kind of reviews he had and if it sounded legit. After a week I went with my gut feelings and hired Mr. Sobel.   He immediately took care of my DMV hearing arraignment and told me what I needed to do. Through each step or update he would call me. When ever I needed his advice he would make sure to call me back within a reasonable amount of time. He is very honest, knowledgeable and knows the right people in court!   My case was not the easiest but I know I did one thing right I hired Mr. Sobel to handle my case. My charge was dropped to a reckless driving in court. I am still waiting to hear the results of my DMV hearing.  I was afraid of being charged with a DUI as I want to pursue higher education and get a masters degree.   I can't express how fortunate I feel to have hired such a great attorney who was there to calm me down, listen to my concerns and give me the best advice!  

Mr. Sobel was easy to work with and handled my proceedings very effectively. His knowledge of the law combined with years of experience navigating the court system and the relationships he has developed along the way enabled him to achieve a great deal more success than would otherwise have been poss...ible in my case.
