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.

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.

Great Criminal Attorney in Van Nuys!
