The best lawyer in Los Angeles

Attorney Joe Coimbra represented my brother in a case and he was looking at alot of time and charges but Attorney Joe was relentless and got the charges dropped. I will be forever thankful for his dedication and hard work for my brother. Now he has his life back and his freedom! Thank you!!

He got the job done and charges were dismissed

I was facing serious charges and looking at years in prison but Attorney Joe worked tirelessly on my case, and thanks to him, my charges were dropped. He’s an incredible attorney and someone who genuinely cares. I’m beyond grateful for what he’s done for me and I thank God I hired him to represent me....

This lawyer deserves Ten Stars

I cannot emphasize how very blessed we are to have found such an awesome and professional law firm. Joe and his team have done above and beyond our expectations of handling our criminal case. Joe, you are truly a God send. Thank you for all your hard work.

Excellent and Hard Working

I received a DUI and a speeding ticket so I hired Attorney Joe Coimbra after looking at all the other positive reviews and doing my own online research. I also had a recent illegal turning traffic ticket, which he picked up that case as well. So he is representing me on 3 cases. I will say that he h...as been nothing short of amazing so far. I have been very nervous since this is all new to me, but he has been very understanding and answers all of my questions on a timely matter every single time. He even takes time to see his clients further on weekends if needed. Also, He has explained to me his approach and alternative plans very clearly and has just made me feel more comfortable overall, which is priceless. Speaking of prices, he is very reasonable and charged me what I thought was extremely fair and I had no issues whatesoever, especially for me since I contacted him on a busy holiday weekend. So far, he just won my admin per se hearing with the DMV and that was set aside so it was an awesome first victory! My license will not be suspended by the DMV due to his hard work. I am very confident that Attorney Joe Coimbra puts in a lot of hard work for his clients and he truly cares about winning your case or fighting however he can to help ease the pain of any mistakes made. I would hire him again or recommend to family and friends if ever needed.

Best Attorney I've ever had in my life

I had a few run ins with the law and time n again I was referred to lawyers who didn't have no clue how to handle criminal law cases. After deailng with amateurs, I was blessed to finally find someone who cared and acutally knew what he was doing! Attorney Joe Coimbra! He is incredibly humble and hel...pful to his clients. He certainly has been to me. But most importantly he is AMAZING in the courtroom. He wrote up some legal motions that basically took down the government's case. I was let go, no convictions even. But it didn't end THERE! becuz of my rapsheet I was unable to find work and got saddled with some pretty bad stuff in my record. He worked up expungement motion, got me off probation off one of my cases. This guy is amazing. Totally comfrtable payment plan and he was well worth it. Would've paid him a whole lot more considering how good he is but he is super reasonable with fees. If U need someone to help clean up your record and take down a criminal case agaunst you, theres ONLY ONE man for the job who can make it happen for sure: Attorney Joe Coimbra. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM !!!!
