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.

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!!!

I have so much to thank you.

I have so much to thank you for that I’m thanking you in every language. I’m grateful for your perseverance during my case, you saved my life!

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!
