Amazing Attorney - I couldn't be happier with my choice to hire her.

Pante-a represented me in my 148(A), which is non-compliance with an officer’s request. My belief before speaking with Pante-a was that court system would see my infraction as a big mistake and dismiss the charges. The court system doesn’t work that way, if you are cited, you are guilty until prove...n innocent. For me, what should have been a small legal issue turned into a nightmare with a potential misdemeanor on my record. A misdemeanor would have caused years of issues of explaining for any kind of background check, government licensing, or even being pulled over for a broken tail light. Pante-a was able to get my charges dismissed and I am so thankful I had her in my corner. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

DUI

I hired Pante, and she was really good. When I looked lawyers on internet no one gave me an answer like her and she answered all my doubts. I was convicted for a DUI and I violated my probation and she handled my case like in 30min. She called the DMV and found me a solution for my insurance. I will ...defenitly recommend her!

Burglary Case

I was being charged with two counts of burglary for a situation I had at Costco. I was in a bad place mentally at that time in my life. I made a stupid mistake. I was very embarrassed by what I did. I contacted two attorneys and decided to go with Pantea because she was extremely honest and made me ...feel as if she would fight for me. Also, if you hire Pante-a you work directly, only with her, and at all times she keeps you informed. I trusted her and my gut feeling was right. In the end, my case was dismissed and I ended up with a clean record. I highly recommend Pante-a as she really went above and beyond for me. She is truly an amazing attorney!!!!!!
