An attorney that did all he promised and more

I was very pleased with Mr. Honse. I was scared, but he was always so positive and upbeat. El Centro is a small town and it helped having an attorney, like Mr. Honse, who was well-known and obviously very respected. He knew just what to do and who to talk to. Two months after the case was over I ha...d a problem with my insurance company. I called Mr. Honse and he was glad to help me and told me there would not be an additional fee. I could not be happier.

Kept me out of jail

I was facing jail and losing my job. Mr. Honse insisted that I relax. He told me the system is filled with good people trying to do the right thing. He was right. I kept my job and got passed my problem. He is a very decent and fair man. Thank you so much

I could not be happier

I was falsely accused of domestic violence. My girlfriend admitted that she had lied but the police still would not drop the charges. Mr. Honse was very calm and reassuring. He kept saying the District Attorney would not take the case seriously unless I was willing to go to trial and fight. On th...e day the jury trial was scheduled to start, the Distict Attorney told the court they did not have enough evidence and they dismissed the case. Thank you Mr. Honse. I was ready to give up but you refused to allow me to plead guilty to something I did not do.

El Centro's Best Law Firm!!!!

I got a DUI a few months back while in the dunes and was in danger of losing my job if they found out. I am from San Diego and did know know who to call. I ended up hiring Mr. Honse cause he seemed like the most honest attorney I had talked with and I had already talked with 2 others. Plus, he wa...s the only attorney who took my phone call the first time I called for information. Mr. Honse walked me through the entire process and kept me updated after each court date. He and his staff always returned my calls and even helped my parents understand my case and the DMV hearing stuff. Mr. Honse took care of the DMV hearing and won! Mr. Honse got my criminal dismissed after only 3 court dates. I never even had to go to court at all.

Best trial attorney with reasonable rates!!!

I got a DUI and thought I had to plead guilty. I went to speak with Mr. Honse and he told me we had a way to go. He took the case to trial and we won. I never even had to testify. Totally worth every penny. I got my DL back and this was removed off my records before my employer even knew it happe...ned.
