DUI CASE DISMISSED I can't find enough words to express my gratitude to Ana! She literaly saved my life! My DUI case was dismissed!

One more time, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ANA! Nick V.

Amazing attention to all aspects

I have unfortunately had to use other lawyers in the past and was very nervous about trying again. Ana from day one was genuine, dedicated, and went above and beyond for my case. If I needed questions answered I could contact her and get them answered right away not days later. She was there by pho...ne, in person, or on weekends not just when convenient for her. I would highly recommend Ana to anyone!!!! She may appear to have the nice laid back attitude, but she is a "pit bull" exactly when you need her to be. Thank you Ana for having my back!

Top-Quality Legal Defense

I had worked with Cori Ferrentino's office for a first offense DUI charge in 2010 which was reduced to a "wet reckless" and I was very happy with my representation. In 2015 I made another poor decision to get in the car after a night out. I knew that if convicted, a "wet reckless," counted as a prior... and I was now facing a second DUI. I held Cori's office in very high regard and had recommended her extremely reputable law office several times to friends in need of defense. When I sought her help this time, Ana Zykanova had started working with the firm and I worked almost exclusively with Ana this second time. I was extremely impressed with Ana's representation. I knew that this process was going to require a certain amount of "hand-holding" and finesse to navigate the different variables that are involved in DUI cases. Ana was an excellent communicator--- clear, honest, timely, and personable. She was on top of all of my deadlines and sent me consistent reminders when I needed to follow up on anything with the court and was always available to answer the myriad of questions I had throughout the process. She did everything she could within the system and filed a brilliant motion which, upon the judge's whim, we ultimately did not win. My jail time, however, was greatly reduced, she got me home confinement (which was a breeze), and was able to negotiate certain deadlines to fit certain conditions of my life. Most importantly, she made me feel comfortable during a very dehumanizing process and really went the extra mile for my case. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing top-quality legal defense.

Very happy with Ana...

Ana did an excellent job of representing me and even the DMV hearing officer commented on how well she presented my case! Ana is very thorough and kept in close contact with me the entire time my case was pending. I would highly recommend Ana.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Anastasia Zykanova. I am a family law attorney in Orange County, but when my son called me to tell me that he had been wrongly reported to the DMV for having a DUI, I turned to Ferrentino Associates and Anastasia Zykanova for assistance. Ana quickly and efficiently obtained a court order removing mention of my son's name and driver's license number from the true defendant's criminal case. Ana's quick work prevented any real harm from the erroneous association of my son's name with the case."
