Wost Shystie lies to his clients

This man took my money push my case through Covid to the point. The judge was so mad that I had to suffer the consequences. He kept asking for money every time he got money he would not even return my phone calls. This case has been gone since 2020 and now he’s asking for more money, anybody know mor...e about this man just some

Promises Everything. Actually Does NOTHING

This attorney has only spoken to myself in pursuit of money and more money. I have caught him in numerous lies. He is the rudest person (so rude that other persons in court halls told me to fire him). He has never, not once, returned a text, email or Phone call. You do not need an attorney for a DU...I. What a waste if money. Its a mandatory sentence. Whether you go alone or with any attorney. Sentence us the same. If I would have known ge was a DUI. attorney. I am sick. He has taken all of my money and not done a single thing. There is no worse attorney, than a rude attorney who cares nothing for you except how much money he can get. I am appealing to the California State Bar Association. Thank God, many other attorneys and family have seen his behavior and decided it is the worst of the worst. I will get all monies refunded for the new attorney.

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.

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!

Mr. Barry Hammond has personally handled all my DUI cases.

Mr. Barry Hammond has personally handled all my DUI cases, and just finished handling my third offense DUI. I continue using his services because he is so professional and works aggressively to fight cases. On my last two DUI’s, I did not receive any jail time, which was great to my relief, and is ...why I came back to him on a third charge because he provides outstanding services and results. During the interrogation with the highway patrol officer of my third offense, Barry caught a mistake that the officer did, which was not to offer a blood test. He continually stays on top of the situation and has very important and smart questions that he knows it will help the account of my case. And this is something that he always has done in my experience of working with him. He thoroughly researches the case and is well prepared at the hearings. I will not hesitate to refer him to anyone who has criminal charges. In my understanding, he is the lawyer for life. I will not go to anyone else except for Mr. Hammond because I know the results he gets and they are truly outstanding. He is truly one of the best lawyers and I am so happy with the services he provides and outstanding results.
