Personal injury

Jocelyn helped me when I was involved in a motorcycle accident. The police report came back favorable for me but their insurance company refused to pay. Jocelyn was quick to get them to pay the full policy. She was always quick to respond to my questions and always took the time to explain anything... that I had questions about the process. Awesome job!

Bye bye DUI!

On November 2013, I was arrested for a DUI in downtown Riverside. I only had two days to find an attorney and my friend who was convicted of a DUI before and won, referred me to Jocelyn Sicat. During that time, I spoke to Jocelyn for two hours and she was so brutally honest about my case and walked m...e through each step. That moment, I can tell she genuinely care for me and wanted to be my lawyer. She was willing to work with me through my finances and since I was trying to take my boards as an RN, she went out of her way to research what I could do during the meantime of my case. I had a sense of relief once she started working on my case The following week. Since I am no expert in this field, I was completely lost and Jocelyn made sure to walk me down each step, even if that meant repeating herself multiple time, she was very patience and she made sure I was comfortable about each step before she proceeded. She handled my criminal case as well as my DMV case. Jocelyn is a go getter, great communicator, and hard working. She does her research and really looks out for the best interest. When I had my doubts, no matter what time it was, she was there to keep me grounded. It took two long years, but Jocelyn never stopped working to get me an official dismissal! She's simply amazing and I put my life in her hands, 100%. I know I can count on Jocelyn to be my lawyer in any situation in the future. Thank you Jocelyn!

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G ATTORNEY!!

I could not have asked for a more qualified, professional and personable attorney to take care of my case!!! Jocelyn is on top of everything and knows her stuff. She constantly kept me informed, updated and let me know what to expect every step of the way. This was my first time getting into legal tr...ouble and she was always readily available by phone or text to answer my countless questions and clarify all the legal jargon. She truly cares about your well-being and I would recommend her to all my family and friends in a heartbeat!

Best Attorney to have by your side

Overall she's an excellent lawyer! She helped me out a lot and if i didn't hire her to defend me, id be in some serious trouble ! She always kept me inform with my case and she always picked up my phone calls and replied to my text messages. She didn't waste no time at all to start my case, and all t...he work she did, did not make me regret hiring her as my lawyer ! She made me feel comfortable with the information she has gathered about my case, made me feel like everything was going my way and its going to be alright! And shes very understanding with my money problems, she leveled with me and saw me eye to eye with how much i can afford, and she was very flexible with my monthly payments ! And shes straight to the point which i liked cause it made me trust her even more. Even though she had a lot of cases going on she was able to help me the best way i could ever think of ! She even gave me advice about my traffic ticket / license suspension and what to do, and also she was able to check for me some information that i was unsure of about my traffic ticket which also saved me cause without that information she had given me i'd probably be paying more than what the ticket states! And so after my case was done, i had a friend who needed help, so i recommended Atty. Jocelyn to him. And with no surprise my friend was thankful that i had recommended Atty. Jocelyn to him and told me that he was more than satisfied and that she helped him a lot. Till now we still talk about how great she is and how thankful we are to her ! She saved me and my friend from getting into some serious trouble ! I can honestly speak for me and my friend that we are grateful that we had her on our side to help us. I wouldn't think twice about recommending her to anyone!
