Outstanding Lawyer! I highly recommend Ross

I consulted Ross on a legal matter and I could not be more happy with the outcome which was a direct result of his guidance and advice. I would hire Ross on any future criminal or civil matters that I have. I highly recommend Ross.

The lawyer on fire!!

Ross Erlich is honest, trustworthy and very straight forward. In unvarnished truth he will tell you exactly where you stand and what direction you should go. He has tenacity coupled with a degree of tenderness but never losing site of the end goal, which is to protect, defend and have the best outcom...e for his client. He represented me in a Domestic violence case and 2 years later when I broke probation . Don’t hire him if you are not going to trust him and let him do his job. He will not run up a bill with chit chat or unnecessary communication. If you need a hand holder he is the guy. That being said he is always on top of the game and never misses a deadline.. He is honorable and knowledgeable. Straight forward is an understatement but he’s not your therapist he is a brilliant attorney who sticks to the facts that matter and have a legal basis, he will cut you off on the frivolous fluff that so many clients want to vent about, this will save you money in the end. He is well respected in the community and has earned this respect following the values of his faith and commitment to his vocation. Not to mention he is very good looking in his suits in and outside of the courts. Highly recommended for the Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and Valley area!

What happens in Carmel, stays in Carmel....

OK, I'll admit I did something stupid: went to dinner and didn't pay attention to how much I'd been drinking. I was driving a rental car and, long story short, got pulled over. I was charged with a DUI, because my blood alcohol level was just over the limit. Ross and team really went to bat for me, p...leading the charge down to a "wet reckless." They demonstrated an amazing amount of detail, and went to a great deal of trouble (I live on the East Coast) to explain the evidence, etc., to me. Best of all they handled everything competently and completely so that I didn't have to fly back to Monterey County for any of the proceedings.

My case

In 2016, I found myself in a jam. I had a criminal complaint file against me. Being a Business owner and having custody of my child I was in a very stressful situation. Ross and his team were recommended to via a Friend of The Frim. My case was handed to Ross and my problem was solved in a timely man...ner and I was very satisfied by the outcome of my case.. I highly recommend Ross as a criminal defense attorney.. Thank you again Ross.

Best DUI Lawyer in LA!

When I was referred to Ross by an immigration attorney, I was debating between choosing him or a very marketable DUI law firm that we see on TV commercials. I can now say that going with Ross was the best decision I made because not only did he get a reduction on my case but he literally saved my car...eer. My case was especially different because a DUI charge would have affected my immigration status and profession. He went through all possible channels and went above and beyond to get a reduction on my case. He was compassionate about my stresses, always willing to answer any questions, and extremely reliable for advice. And best of all, he will not BS you!
