The Best in his Class !!

About twenty years ago, Tony had helped my parents and I get through a challenging criminal case. Achieving the best result possible. But, it is now twenty years later and I am scrambling for an attorney in a family law case. I thought of Tony briefly, but shrugged him off thinking.....he doesn't pra...ctice family law. Until, I am now down to the wire and I need representation fast, like now. I am downtown San Diego and I decide to reach out to Tony on a whim. Not only do I locate Tony, I leave a message with his firm briefly explaining the situation. Its a Friday and I am thinking I am toast. The next day, Saturday, and Tony calls and tells me to meet him on Monday to go over the case. I did not even have to ask him one question about fees? is he available, can he be proactive, nothing. It was like such loyalty from his prior work twenty years ago like it was yesterday! He did not miss a beat. He was on it from hello and went on to win with the best results possible. I guess I am trying to say that Tony is so good and with it for his clients that he responded just like the twenty years did not even exist. He operates today like he did twenty years ago. And he has been through a hell of a lot since then. Tony is my attorney for life! No questions asked. The best in his class. There is no one better, period !! I rest my case.

Scot & Trina, Wow, thank you for the very kind words. As you know, it was a highly emotional case and I am so glad that you approved me going in the direction I did at the hearing. Apparently, I was on to something! I was very gratified to get the result we did, it meant a great deal to me. Tony

Mr. Anthony Solare & His Team Have My Vote!!

Recently, I was falsely accused of various types of misconduct at my place of employment which in turn, caused me to lose my long-time job as a Paramedic here in San Diego. I never received any type of due process with my Human Resources Dept. and was immediately terminated with no questions aske...d. To make matters worse, these twisted and false allegations not only cost me my job, they beckoned the calling of the local police and then............the FBI. Needless to say, I was beyond lost and confused and didn’t know where to turn. As a long-time certified California Firefighter and licensed Paramedic, I Immediately went into the tactical mindset and began diligently searching online for an attorney with the same same type of tactical mindset and in turn, by the grace of God, I found Mr. Anthony Solare and his team. My first meeting with him was straightforward with no “false promises” and no head games. He displayed legitimate confidence and his spoken-words emulated that of a respectful and self-starting professional. He shot straight from the hip and advised me legally of what and what not to do and assured me that once he took hold of the reigns, I’d be in safe hands. I appreciated his straightforward manner along with our candid conversation. He’s professionally aggressive and leaves no stone “unturned” when it comes to gathering and compiling evidence. His unrelenting desire for my success and the fact that he genuinely cares, saved my career from being ruined because of these false allegations. When the FBI continued to contact me, I advised Mr. Solare and in his “calm & cool” manner, he reassured me once again and not long after, he called and advised me that he made contact with the FBI and from that day forward, I never heard back from them. I was once again able to take a deep breath and relax. Any points I brought up or questions I had, he was on top of it to get the best results that I needed. My case ended up being dismissed and now, I can begin making repairs to not only my career here in San Diego but also my reputation that has been tarnished because of this. I could not have asked for a more respectable and professional team as Mr. Anthony Solares! I highly recommend him for anybody who finds themselves in the clutches of a legal battle! I will forever keep his contact information handy in hopes of NEVER having to hire him again, BUT, if ever I or somebody I know finds themselves in an unfortunate circumstance and in need of the best possible legal representation, Mr. Anthony Solare will be the professional for whom I shall be recommending!

Great Representation!

I was referred to Mr. Solare by a fellow attorney for a misedemeanor DUI. I contacted Mr. Solare’s office immediately following my release and met with him the same day. He encouraged me to proactively begin DUI classes and AA meetings prior to my hearing date which was beneficial for me. Mr. Sola...re was able to get an additional charge dismissed and my community service was reduced to volunteer work. I highly recommend Mr. Solare for represention as he is very knowledgeable, honest, attentive, available and extremely thorough. At no time did I ever feel uninformed or apprehensive of the court proceedings. Years later I contacted him for advice and guidance on an expungement. Mr. Solare was just as honest and thorough as he was on day one. I am truly thankful for Mr. Solare!!

Anthony J. Solare the best of the best!

Attorney Anthony J. Solare, is an extraordinary attorney. He goes above and beyond for his clients and actually makes you feel cared about. He always answers your calls/emails and explains what is going on with the case. Attorney Solare, gets down to business and will not stop until justice is done! ...Attorney Solare, came up with a plan how to approach my criminal case, he worked restlessly until the judge dismissed the charges!!!! Mr Solare, is that amazingly good, I got the best results at the preliminary hearing, no need for trail! Attorney Solare, is so good and very very aggressive, he got my criminal case dismissed and two felony charges dropped. That’s what you call, a Great, Agressive attorney. Anthony J. Solare is the best of the best, he has my full trust. He’s work ethic, determination and aggressiveness is what saved me. Attorney Solare, is compassionate but extremely aggressive, which in a criminal defense lawyer, probably would only be found once in a blue moon, and it’s exactly why attorney Anthony J. Solare is the only defense attorney one should consider hiring.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was clear to me from the beginning that you should have never been charged in this case so it was very gratifying to get the judge agree with us. This was also a case where the cross-over experience I have with criminal and family law was most helpful. I hope this result helps you in that case as well.

Made my DUI easy

I'm posting anonymously due to my high profile status in downtown San Diego, and don't want people to know I got arrested. So I made a mistake and drove home from a concert with a few drinks under my belt and got a DUI. Never happened to me before and I didn't know what to do. I'm a busy working prof...essional and didn't know the first thing about the law. Never been arrested. Mr. Solare came highly recommended so I went with him. A very reasonable retainer and he took care of EVERYTHING! I didn't have to think. He helped me figure out court date, knocked my work service down, showed me where to go what to do, and even figured out my commute to work for me while I was unable to drive. He was always available to help me - even one day when I couldn't find my way around the courthouse, he was available to tell me where to go. Again, never been in trouble before and clueless. I can't recommend him enough. He was really there for me in my darkest hour and though you can't get away from a DUI, he made the process easy for me. I'm in DUI classes with people whose lawyers didn't help as much and they got screwed. As he told me, with misdemeanor DUI "The Process is the Punishment" ... he made the process easy for me. The courts and DMV gave me a hard time and he made it all easy on me. Trust me -- hire Anthony Solare if you get a DUI.
