This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Professional, Attentive, Quick & Authentic

l had to ask a lawyer’s opinion in an emergency situation. I have called and left a message for 5 lawyers l found on the internet. The only person who called back was Bart Kaspero, - he talked to me twice on that first day and gave me advice immediately what l could do at that moment. In a couple of ...days he got back to me again and asked about the developments in my issue; and then gave me advice again. Mr Kaspero was very attentive and patient. Finally, we talked again couple of days later and Mr Kaspero gave me advice not to spend money on lawyers at this point n time. I was so very grateful to him and after all his work in the last week he actually did not ask for any payments. Mr Kaspero gave me back my faith in people in other professions, and that there are still quality people out there, even when life seems to be very unfair and upsetting. Thank you so very much! Wish people would behave like Bart Kaspero in every profession and the world would be a better place!

Criminal Defense advice session

Bart was thorough and kind. He speculated about possible scenarios and answered all of my questions with thoughtful insight. He took his time in listening to me and articulating his best advice.

An attorney worth hiring!

If you are in need of, or even just considering, hiring a criminal defense attorney you owe it to your future to contact Bart Kaspero for counsel. I had the experience of watching Mr. Kaspero help someone close to me from start to finish. Something that Bart really shines in is communicating wit...h his clients and helping them understand the process in clear terms. This is amazingly comforting not only to the client but to the clients family as well. I found that this helped provide a sense of certainty during an uncertain time. We needed Barts help during non business hours and it wasn't long at all before he contacted us. Bart is ethical, professional, and dedicated to his clients.

Business Protection

When calling for advise, Bart gave me some very specific approaches to my case. He went over Legal Language even explaining terms that would come up so as I have a better understanding as to the possible direction it could go. Also, he provided insight on an Attorney's litigating approach and a dir...ection when defending myself against those who, in my case are seeking to pull me into a financial debt that was not ever mine to begin with.

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Kaspero has a thorough understanding of these cases, handles cases all of the State of California and can be the difference between just taking what the prosecutor is offering and seeing the motion that could result in a dismissal of the charges or as a bargaining chip for a much more palatable offer. He calmly and carefully advises the clients about their options throughout his reputation so that they can make the best decisions throughout. A top notch addition to his new Firm"
