And my fine was also waived!!

In desperation, I went online to look for an attorney and by luck the Los Angeles Bar Association offered to help me find an attorney. Within minutes I was contacted by Mr. Hammond, he explained to me througholy what was going on wth my case, charges and bail and told me that everything was going to ...be alright. Mr. Hammond has gone out of his way to meet my needs, he has exdceeded my expectations. In addition to meeting with me during regular business hours, he has worked holidays, weekends and late nights, working on my case, calling me or accepting my calls at all hours of the day. We worked together to get these charges reduced only facing probation instead of years in prison! And my fine was also waived!! It was a very good outcome.

Mr. Hammond is a savior!

I am pleased to say that Mr. Hammond is a savior! My 23 year old daughter got into a fight with her boyfriend (typical)! The neighbors called the police arrested her and sent her straight to jail and charged with felony domestic violence! We were shocked, aggravated and scared! I did not want my daug...hter in jail nor with a felony on her record. I was recommended an attorney, Mr. Hammond that reduced the charge to a misdemeanor before my daughter even went to her first court date! He had called the detective gave her story and the charge was reduced! Later within a couple of months he handled the charge informally and my daughter was dropped of all charges! I honestly never thought this was going to happen! I can not thank Mr. Hammond enough and for this reason I have to write this letter to explain my gratitude!

I will recommend to anyone whomever that may need an Attorney.

I am writing this letter to you for your profound ability in defending my son against 2 (two) cases in the Superior Court of Los Angeles.Against all odds and unknown situations your expertise removed both cases against my son and you were able to win and dismiss both difficult cases, which we had ver...y little hope to get one of them dropped. I have no words to thank you enough and appreciate your personal attention to detail of these felony cases. There are lots of Attorneys in Los Angeles that proclaim to be an expert in what they do however, what you have done was not just Attorneys job. You have acted not only as an Attorney but also as a friend in every aspect of these few months of anxiety, pressure, and mind bugling conditions. Truly and from bottom of my heart you are the only one that I will recommend to anyone whomever that may need an Attorney.

I’m writing this letter to express my appreciation in all that you have done for me.

I’m writing this letter to express my appreciation in all that you have done for me. You went beyond what my expectations where in regards to my son’s case. My son was facing many years in jail with his felony burglary, and during the consultation you assured to me that the case was going to be eithe...r reduced or dropped. The case was handled informally with the City Attorney and eventually dropped; I could not be more relieved and pleased. Since this incident, my son continues to have a clean record and has excelled in both school and at his company of work. I cannot express how thankful my son and I are for all your help, you truly are a man of your word!

No other lawyer will represent you better or defend you better. Mr. Hammond is the best.

I personally have used Mr. Hammonds legal service on several occasions. On one occasion I got a DUI and on another felony charge for assault. Mr. Hammond is the best defense attorney out there. He definitely is the lawyer you want to represent you if you are facing a criminal matter, or any matter at... that. No other lawyer will represent you better or defend you better. After being arrested and sent to jail for seven days I made bail and contacted Mr. Hammond. I was facing felony assault charges, which Barry got lowered to a misdemeanor. I plead not guilty and went to trial, represented by Mr. Hammond. Hammond got my charges dismissed! I was so thankful and relieved. My DUI case was also taken care of by Mr. Hammond. Mr. Hammond is experienced, professional and sharp. He is the best lawyer you can get, he will do the best he can to defend you and is very reasonable. The first call I make when I need a lawyer is to Barry. The best lawyer by far. I wrote this review to help aid people who are looking for actual validation and I am someone who has actually hired Mr. Hammond for representation. Not only once but for other cases as well. I read the reviews people have posted which prompted me to write a review. Trust someone who has actually used his service. Mr. Hammond is the best.
