Best Lawyer

Jayakumar is the best public defense lawyer you can have, he is in Charge of my brothers case and was able to get him a better deal that wouldn’t greatly jeopardize him with immigration. He was very communicative throughout the whole process, and we are happy with what he has been able to achieve.

Aspiring ADA cause he's not on the defendants

He should be disbarred, I personally had the displeasure of being a client of his, so after reading some of his negative reviews, thank God! , I wasn't the only one he backed over. When I knew that the cops involved in my case had violated my 4th. Amendment and he adamantly told me that they hadn't ...I knew something was wrong, I knew when he didn't question the ( only ) witness in which I had told him was a foreign exchange student and was scheduled to leave back to his country I just under 2 months, Mr. Jayakumar failed to question him so I lost the only witness for the defense, and he was an eye witness on top of that! Believe or not i tried to fire him on these grounds and failed. So I went pro-per and guess what they found that the cops were not under the color of authority and violated my 4th amend. The charge was dropped. He's only there to get you to plea deal with who he hopes to be his new boss, the District Attorney. He is a Dumptruck!
