Rodney Nosratabadi is one of the best I know. He is one of the most aggressive attorneys I have ever met and loves trial. He will put up a fight seldom seen in a courtroom and makes sure his clients get the best defense available. Great courtroom presence, honest, funny...no wonder juries love him so much. I highly recommend this attorney.

Rodney is one of the finest criminal defense attorneys I know. He is always available to me if I have a question regarding the law and always has the right answer. I would refer my own family to him if they were in trouble. Highly recommended!!
Richard Wagner, Criminal defense Attorney on Aug 14, 2009

I endorse this lawyer's work. I have personally seen Rodney work his magic on in what should be considered the most difficult jurisdiction to practice criminal defense: Orange County. Because of his success in Orange County, he can take cases anywhere in California. If someone I knew or cared about was facing criminal charges (felony, misdemeanor, juvenile, DUI) and thinking about hiring Rodney, I would tell them not to think twice. He is tenacious, dependable, ethical and an all-around excellent criminal defense attorney.
