About Kiarash

Welcome to Kia Law Firm. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, or Ventura County, you have come to the right website. The firm is led by attorney Kia Feyzjou. We have offices located  in Los Angeles and Riverside Counties, however, we represent individuals throughout all of California.  Our office maintains high ethics, honesty, affordability and continues to excel in the field of criminal defense. Mr. Feyzjou is a seasoned criminal defense attorney who has focused his career in criminal defense.

The State Bar of California created the country’s first legal certification program which offers attorneys the opportunity to demonstrate high competence through evaluation by a panel of experts in 11 areas of law practice. One of these areas of law is Criminal Law.

Mr. Feyzjou is a Board Certified Criminal Law Specialist, an honor held by by only a few hundred attorneys in the state. 

Mr. Feyzjou is devoted to upholding the Constitution and defending clients accused of criminal wrongdoing. Our criminal defense practice has become successful because of the personal attention that we devote to each client.

Mr. Feyzjou takes great pride in the results we have achieved for our clients. We believe that it is our responsibility to communicate to our clients every single step of the criminal process. Our reputation is the key to success. Our office has developed strong and credible relationships with Judges, District Attorneys and Investigators.

The key to the successful defense of any case is detail.  Detail cannot be overlooked. We understand how it feels to be falsely accused of a crime. All too often, police officers and investigators only take part of the facts of a case and present it to the District Attorney for filing consideration. We recognize that you have facts that weren’t included in that initial report. In our initial face-to-face, confidential and free consultation, we promise that we will listen to the facts that you believe to be true. We will then compare those facts to the statements contained in arrest reports to determine accuracy and truthfulness. Our job as your legal advocate would involves breaking down each and every allegation that has been made against you to show that the investigation was poor and compromised.

If you are looking for a Criminal Defense Attorney in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange County, Ventura County or other city in Southern California, contact us to discuss representation.

    A real PRO!

    Posted by

    Like most people, I normally only leave reviews after I’ve received horrific or god-awful service - BUT this is one of those rare occasions where the service I received was so amazing and impressed me so much that I feel compelled to tell others about it and to give thanks where it’s so richly deserved. I’ve never been trouble with the law before so when that fateful day finally arrived, I had no clue who to call or how to even begin fighting the ridiculous charges I found myself facing. I was charged with both felony and misdemeanor assault along with a restraining order by well-known eating establishment - so I began my search for representation. I ended up calling 3 different law firms, and each seemed to be quite capable and eager to take my case. But the Kia Law Firm was the only one that invited me down to their office to discuss my situation in person THAT DAY. And after meeting Kia, it was immediately clear who my lawyer was going to be. I wanted a fighter, and that’s exactly what I got. Let’s face it, most lawyers are going to be well-versed in law, right? But with Kia, what you also get is a master TACTICIAN. That attribute became abundantly clear to me as I watched him work my case over a 6 month period – like sizing up our foe – knowing exactly when to schedule our appearance(s) – how to construct all our statements/responses in such a way to get maximum impact – right down to knowing how each of the individual judges operate over at the courthouse. Again, I’ve never been had to wade through our legal system before, but let me tell you, they don’t play - and it seems they make things as difficult and drawn out as humanly possible. And the district attorneys over there are nothing but a bunch of bullies who are used to getting their way. So don’t be passive and don’t be intimidated - get yourself an real PRO. Kia’s office is literally a hundred yards away (maybe less) from all the Riverside courthouses, so he not only knows how to traverse this mind-bending maze of legal nonsense, but more importantly, who the players are that operate over there from top to bottom. For example, whenever we’d be walking through the courthouse halls, we’d encounter court reporters, law enforcement and others - and without fail they’d recognize him - even with a mask on and go out of their way to exchange pleasantries. I mean, if you didn’t know better, you’d swear he was the Mayor of Riverside. I know what you’re thinking – “yea, yea, whatever dude, so what was the result of your case?” Well... I walked away with the restraining order being DROPPED and NO criminal charges – in fact, it never even went to trial! How’s that? So don’t fool yourself folks, your choice of representation matters - it matters a lot. I’m forever grateful to Kia and his entire staff for helping me get through a ridiculous but potentially consequential event in my life. And during a pandemic no less! Thank you Kia!

    Got my case dismissed - woohoo!

    Posted by

    In August 2014 my life changed & I didn't know what to do ! I felt so little in the law system & I knew I needed someone great to represent me my lawyer Kia helped me when I was at my lowest ! Let me tell you my story my name is Monica Mohammadi me & my boyfriend Adrian decided to go out one night with our friends I decided I would be the designated driver for the night me and my boyfriend live together and we share everything we pretty much have everything under both our names the night we went out I decided to take Adrian's car I say Adrian's car because he was the main person on the pink slip I was just the co signer any who that night happened to be the worst night of my life as we were going to the beach I lost control of his car & crashed everyone in the car had been drinking except me after the accident everyone was pretty much in shock I was too I couldn't believe I just crashed and not to mention it was a brand new car ! Adrian was so upset & scared he was acting a bit loud and a crowd started to form since I was the one responsible for it I asked my two friends to take Adrian to the side n cool him down while I waited for the cops I told them I would handle it since I was the one responsible for the accident ! The cops finally arrived I let them know what happened they asked me who was in the car with me I told him Adrian and my two friends then they asked me who the car belonged to I told them Adrian ! I let the officer know where he could find them I let the cops know they have all been drinking so they where not in the right state of mind ! All of a sudden the office started being rude and not taking anything I was saying in consideration saying he didn't believe I was driving ? I told him why would I lie about something like that ? They brought Adrian back to the car and arrested him saying they suspected he was driving ? I told them no I was the designated driver & that I wasn't going to let them arrest someone innocent at that point I was hysterical I was crying I was bruised up I just couldn't believe this was all happening it all felt like a bad dream ! ! I didn't understand how the law can do something so wrong ? How can they arrest a innocent person ! Then the office told me if I didn't calm down he would arrest me to that I needed to walk away ! I told him where was I pose to go I just got in a accident I don't have a phone and all he said I don't know u figure it out ! I left limping trying to find my two friends phone less and my boyfriend arrested with a DUI I felt so small like how am I going to fight them how am I going to make things right again.The next morning after that night I had to hire a lawyer. When i first met Kia I knew I had to hire him he really knew what he was talking about and I am glad I did it. Moral of the story is Kia made a bad situation into a blessing and I thank him for everything he did for me and Adrian. I recommend Kia if your going through a bad situation with the law.

    He's the best DUI attorney in Riverside County

    Posted by

    In July 2015, I was pulled over for having my license plate light out. My wife and I were coming home from Dinner where we celebrated my daughter's 18th birthday party. The officer asked me if I had anything to drink and I was honest and said yes, a glass and a half of wine. He made me do these really random tests on the side of the road. Although I thought I did them fine, he told me that he had to arrest me and made me blow into the device he had in his car. He eventually took me to Robert Presley Detention Center where I was released within a few hours. I called Kia's office the day I was released and we met at his office. He explained to me the legal standard for guilt and we discussed why I was pulled over. I felt confident with his level of knowledge in handling these cases, especially since he is Board Certified in Criminal Law. I knew I chose the right lawyer. Within 10 days, he set up the DMV hearing. We both attended the hearing and he persuaded the hearing officer to dismiss the case because my breath result initially was .07. So, I was able to keep my drivers license and continue to support my family. A few months after that, I had court in Riverside and I didn't have to appear. In fact, I never appeared. I signed some forms and Kia explained to me that he would let me know if I had to come to court. Long story short, Kia was able to dismiss even my DUI!!!!! I couldn't believe it. They wanted me to plead guilty to a reckless driving and Kia felt that I shouldn't have to accept it. I am so happy with his service and his staff, Lusia and Julie. They handled my case with such professionalism and confidence that I would recommend them to anyone looking for a lawyer in Riverside. Thank you Kia. You're super.

    Awesome Lawyer

    From start to finish Kia was an over the top above great lawyer. This was my first time getting in trouble and honestly I wouldn't have beat the charges without him or his firms help and knowledge. He really went the distance even with the court officials, he will definitely fight for you the way you would want and not many other lawyers will. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    Excellence

    Kia is the most knowledgeable lawyer I have had the privilege of working with. He handled our case with the utmost care, and professionalism. He helped us to maintain our dignity throughout the case, and quickly handled any and all of our concerns.

    Thank you Kia!!!

    About more than a year ago, I got myself into a serious situation with the law. It involved a very sensitive matter between my wife and me. Not very happy of what I did. In my situation it was necessary to hire a lawyer who knew what he was doing and capable of doing in and out of the court to build a good defense case. I couldn’t find a good lawyer who actually would take the time to sit with its client and tell you the honest truth, without adding extra frosting on the cake. Before I consulted Kia Law Firm, I had made many calls, the only question I would be ask the whole time is, what are you charge with, are you out in a bond and actual quote me before even looking into my case. I was very skeptical of even hiring a lawyer. Yes, Kia had made the same questions but he first ask me it was necessary to look into my case first. He worked around my time and made it possible to meet me for the first time on his day off. I was blown away when he had told me that. What lawyer would make time on his day of to meet a person who may or may not consider him to represent him in court? No lawyer would, but Kia did. In top of that, I felt bad for taking his time that day when we met; it was a weekend he was out, spending quality time with his kids. Kia sat with me, ask me questions of what had happen, why were the reasons for my mistake and when over good and bad case scenarios. Every time we met in court, he was very professional, look out for my best interest, and never lie about anything. He is a straight forward guy whose interest is for the good of his client. And also Kia takes the time to know his clients, because he prefers treating them as his friends instead of a dollar sign, as many lawyers tend to do and have done. Also, the reason why Kia was the lawyer who I decided to represent me in court is because he was recommended through a family member, who had a similar case as I did and he was recommended by my immigration lawyer, who knew how Kia works in court. That spoke a lot about Kia when another lawyer had to say about him. Will I ever recommend Kia, yes I would. I would recommend him to anyone who needs legal services. Kia is great person who takes its job seriously. By the way, my case was reduced and he fought with the DA till they agreed to cut me a deal. Kia does not take a “No” for an answer!!!!!

    Simply the BEST!

Kia Law Firm went above and beyond with confidence from the very beginning of the case, until its conclusion this month.

    I'm so happy to have met Kia Feyzjou. He saved my husband's career

    Posted by

    Approximately 4 years ago, my husband was arrested for a DUI in California while we were on vacation. He was then released and not given a citation to appear. We thought that the case was dropped. Years later, as we visited California, we were stopped for a traffic ticket in Riverside, CA. The officer looked up my husband's name and saw that he had an open warrant. We begged the officer not to arrest him and that we would fix the issue immediately. He agreed. I immediately went online and looked up local Riverside attorneys that could assist us. I came across Kia Feyzjou who I later found out was a Board Certified Criminal Law Specialist. I didn't know what that meant, but when I looked it up, it showed that he had expertise in his field by the State Bar. When I called on a Sunday, Mr. Feyzjou picked up the phone. I was shocked. He was so thorough and helpful. He even invited us to his office the same day and came to give us reassurance that everything would be ok. The next day, on Monday, he went to court without my husband and cleared the arrest warrant. He then filed a motion that he called something like "Serna" and he told us that he would work on getting the case dismissed. 18 days later, I received a phone call from Mr. Feyzjou telling us that the charges were dismissed and that my husband would have a clean criminal record. Since my husband is a commercial truck driver, his license was so important for us to keep clean. I can't thank him enough for what he did to save my husband's career and keep his family life stable. He was a blessing to meet and I highly recommend him to anyone in any criminal predicament. It is rare to find an attorney with so much compassion for what he does. And, before I forget, I should add that his secretary, Julie, was constantly keeping in touch with me via email and phone calls throughout the whole process. Rarely have we come across such kind professionals who go out of their way to not only share updates with us, but make us feel at ease throughout this uneasy process.
