Excellent advocate, strongly recommended

Having no experience with the legal system and not sure what type of help we needed, we were very impressed with Pante-a from the first few mintues of our visit. She provided a consultation that fully explained the legal process and what we should expect during the entire process, and we hired her o...n the spot. When it came time to working with the DA, Pante-a was able to negotiate an excellent resolution to our situation. Overall she was a great listener, a knowledgeable counsel, always available for questions, and supportive. We highly recommend her to any and all of our friends and family.

Special DUI Attorney

Pantene-a was very attentive to everything that I needed. I had just received a DUI and was very scared as I've never been arrested before. She reassured me throughout the entire ordeal and her expertise in this matter had me feeling confident. She was available the entire time and answered my numero...us questions. And in the end she was able to negotiate a fair outcome. What I liked the most was her personal attention. I never had to speak with an assistant or receptionist. Every time I needed to speak or meet with her, it was her, not anybody else. I would definitely come to her if I ever need legal help again.

BEST Criminal Defense attorney in the OC

Due to an inability to talk on the phone and shop at the same time... some might say I'm a little absentminded as well... I found myself in a lot of trouble when I mistakenly left a bookstore with a book in hand, that I did not pay for. I was arrested for shoplifting on the spot. I have never been in... trouble in my life and was totally freaked out that this would ruin my career, future plans, etc ... I found Pante-a through her good reviews on Yelp and once again, Yelp did not steer me wrong. Pante-a was the BEST lawyer. First of all, she is very personable and will make you feel at ease. She answered all of my questions (and believe me, I had a million) and she was always easy to get a hold of whether by phone or e-mail. She also NEVER promised me anything... she gave me the facts, told me the choices I had and was up front that there is never a gurantee when it comes to working out a deal. This might not be what some want to hear... but she is honest and that's important. Pante-a worked really hard for me and I was able to get my case dismissed! NO misdemeanor or anything on my record. I can not thank her enough and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing a Criminal Defense attorney. (I also advice not talking on the phone while browsing, as you might end up in my dumb situation!)

honest and trustworthy lawyer!

About 6 months ago, i was catch for petty theft at my local walmart store. It was my first time offense and i was terrified. I found Pante-a on yelp and immediately gave her a call. She was very sweet and understanding of the situation. I felt very comfortable with her over the phone, so i decided to... meet with her for a free consultation a couple days later. Pante-a was able to go into full detail of my situation and all the possible outcomes. After our first meet, i knew i wanted to hire her as my lawyer. Since i was going to be out of town during my court date, Pante-a said would be represent me at court. Thank goodness! All i had to do was to show up to court once and take a 6 hour class. She definitely made this entire process much less stressful. I am really thankful for everything she has done for me and i have definitely learned my lesson that petty theft is never worth it! But if you find yourself in a bind, Pante-a should be your go to lawyer.
