Charges Dropped

I had a referral from another attorney that felt John Pozza could be some help in my case. I called and was able to have a consultation with John to lay out my case and get his feedback. My partner and I were both charged with the same offense and after hearing me out he agreed to represent both of... us. Through his and Tammy’s making calls to the DA’s office on our behalf the charges were dropped one day before our court date. My partner and I were both very relieved with the outcome. In the future if I’m silly enough to get in trouble again now I have John’s number in my phone.

John Pozza The Great!

I had a case that was hanging over my head like a darkness. It was a strike case that was beefed up with felonies just because of priors. I always felt innocent regarding this case. Non the less it still was charged high and strong. And I knew it was going to be an uphill battle. After much research ...on who would be the best fit as a lawyer for me..I picked John. John is in my opinion the best lawyer of the SWJ court and probably many court venues. But at this particular court he is the man. He is the leader and has a lot of respect from the DAs and judges there. He pulled this case together and brought it down to a simple misdemeanor out of three felonies originally charged some strike-able. In the end John was able to get an amazing resolution for me. No Jail no formal probation and classes only. Awesome can’t thank John Pozza and Tammy enough.

Amazing attorney. A life saver

I cannot recommend John Pozza enough. I made a choice that should have landed me in jail, I didn't even understand the scope of how bad my case was because I was so intoxicated at the time of the incident. I have 2 kids depending entirely on me and if I went to jail or lost my job there is no one to ...take care of them. I got help for the drinking, first and foremost, I will never touch alcohol again. But as far as saving the rest of my life, John Pozza worked so hard to give me a chance at life and saving my kids and job and home and I cannot thank him enough. I don't know how he did it, but he did.

John Did Great by Me

I had a very unusual case. That didn't deter John he found me a great consulting firm and worked out an agreement with the Federal Agency that I had several issues with. They had me up on to two felonies for moving dirt around on my beach in Lake Elsinore. John saw through the folly of the whole trum...ped up charges and worked out a great deal for me. I would recommend John Pozza to anyone and will.
