Will recommend Mr. Hammond to anyone in need! He is truly the best!

I am pleased with my association with Mr. Hammond, and thankful to the Bar Association for the help and kindness provided when I was so desperate. I have told my friends about the lawyer referral and will recommend Mr. Hammond to anyone in need! He is truly the best!

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.

Thank you BARRY!!!

I have used Mr. Hammond for both my cases. Recently I had a run in with the police and got my 2nd DUI, I was caught driving under a suspended license from my first DUI and got in to an accident. I was looking at time in Jail, and the DMV was going to revoke my license for 3years. I retained Mr. Hammo...nd to defend my case in the Van Nuys Court house, as I knew he was familiar with the D.A’s and the Judges of the court. As expected Mr. Hammond miraculously kept me out of Jail and struck my prior DUI and treated my second as my first. He also dropped my driving without a license and I was able to get a valid one with in a couple of months. He truly saved me from the hardship of a second DUI and all the fines I would have to pay. It’s only been a couple of months I have a valid license and I’m finished with all my alcohol classes. If I were to have pleaded guilty to my second DUI with out an attorney like Mr. Hammond I would have no license, have to serve time in jail and in a second offender program that stems to 18 months costing almost 2k for just the classes alone. Thank you BARRY!!!

Great Criminal Attorney in Van Nuys!

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 defenitely 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. Milena!
