Raul Coretana Sabado

Raul is a very experienced lawyer which I would never hesitate to give a call again. I got into some trouble in san bernardino county and was court dated for two misdemeanor cases. Raul explained to me his plans and how he was going to fight my case before i even paid him for his services. I felt assured he was going to do his best to get the cases dismissed so i contracted him as my lawyer. Not only was he helpful in making me feel i could trust him but he also allowed me to be able to make payments for him to defend me. Two days after my court date i received a letter from santa barbara county stating that my cases were dropped. Thanks a lot Raul i greatly appreciate your help. GC

Raul is an excellent attorney. He recently helped me in a criminal defense matter and I am beyond grateful. He is knowledgeable and experienced in his line of work. He is not only reliable and demonstrates great professionalism, but he offers insight and support as well. He cares about his work and his clients. The outcome of my case was favorable, but even if it had not been, I would still recommend him. Raul helped me survive a stressful situation in my life. He enabled me to move forward and make positive changes, and for that I will be forever thankful.

Without giving out to much information, my 20 year old nephew found himself in a bad situation where he could have been facing a lot of time. After consulting several attorneys and them asking for up front payments of upwards to $10,000.00 to represent him. We came across RAUL C SABADO; Mr Sabado was a blessing, he immediately took it upon himself(before we even hired him) to look into my nephews case, he wanted to see exactly what the DA had on him. He also said that his representation could end up being close to the $10,000.00 BUT he didn't try to charge it all up front. We paid him only $2000.00 so he could represent my nephew at the first hearing and based off of that and what needed to be done he would charge the rest accordingly. He immediately got to work on the case, he worked with my nephew and mentored him by having him look for a job, he told him it would be a good idea to go back to school and look for NA classes. He knew how important it would be to paint a good picture of my nephew to the DA. I am happy to say that we got the great news today that the case was dismissed! That's it, we are done!! We didn't have to pay not one more cent to him. So while other attorneys wanted the full amount up front, Raul did not do this, I am forever grateful to him for the way he handled the case, how he was always there for us answering questions left and right at all hours of the day and night through calls and texts he made himself avail. I would 100% recommend Raul to anyone and everyone! Thank you Raul for loving your job and not taking advantage of people while being very efficient, we truly appreciate it.

I looked up Mr. Sabado’s firm because of a relative with mental health issues in legal trouble. Mr. Sabado and Ms. Esmeralda, his assistant, were both tactful and efficient in their questioning, and quick to grasp the facts of the situation. Mr. Sabado took the time to discuss the available options and possible difficulties and outcomes – he was knowledgeable about this type of cases and clear in helping me navigate my relative's. He was also considerate of my hopes but realistic in his evaluation. About a week later, I called for additional clarification: not only did they remember our previous conversation but they were equally kind and attentive. I came away with a direction and with potentially helpful referrals (Ms. Esmeralda went so far as calling one of them to confirm they could be of assistance). My overall impression is of professionalism and kindness - if you find yourself in trouble, I recommend calling.

I was arrested and charged with domestic battery even though I was clearly defending myself from my girlfriend’s attack. The judge and prosecutor didn’t care and just wanted me to plead guilty. I was charged with committing domestic violence and the judge issued a restraining order. Raul Sabado and his team helped me to present the truth. They convinced the prosecutor and judge to DISMISS the case and remove the restraining order!!! Thank you so much!
