Husband and wife domestic argument

My Story--- It was June 2017, my wife and I returned home about midnight from bar hoping in the riverside area. We were both heavily under the influence of alcohol. An argument soon started by my wife and then she started to hit me. This went on for quite a while. At some point I returned the ...hits in an effort to stop her. She called the police and blamed it all on me. Of course, all things being equal, the man is always the poor bastard to get screwed. I was hauled off to jail at 2 am with bail set at $50k. The police also confiscated all my Guns because it was a domestic Felony case. After i was released the next morning, I contacted my business attorney for a reference and Paul's name was provided. I immediately called Paul and told him how I was referred. He met with my wife and I within a couple days as our schedules would allow. During our meeting, Paul met with us together and then individually to get a better story and picture of my Felony case he was to defend. In an effort to bring Paul up to speed, I provided him with a complete history of my business and personal accomplishments. Paul could see that my wife and I loved each other and that we were both solid members of the community. Paul developed a brilliant plan to work within the confines of a "not perfect" legal system hell bent on prosecution. Paul wasted no time in going to work on the case since timing was important. It was a great plan that achieved a huge and unexpected victory. Paul was able to have all charges dropped. Completely!! Not reduced from a Felony to a misdemeanor, but completely removed!! In addition, Paul also helped me retrieve all my guns from the police detention facility by working with the DOJ in Sacramento. In summary, Paul Grech and his team solidified an incredible legal victory for me. Paul knows the "system" and how it works. He also has the right connections to achieve favorable and / or reasonable results. I have been personal friends with Paul, his family and friends ever since. Paul is the very best! You won't be disappointed.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Paul since I was a prosecutor in Riverside24 years ago. We opposed one another on some white collar matters. I observed how Paul handled clients and presented his defense, both in negotiations and in court. His skill was very impressive. When I decided it was time to join the defense bar 19 years ago, it was Paul I consulted. In the almost two decades since, I have seen Paul's continued ascension to the top in his field. He is a great lawyer, and person. I am proud to endorse him."
