I felt like The Law Office of Ray Dinari really believed in me and he work on my case reflected that.

I was a first time offender and was facing a felony charge for a huge mistake that I made. I had a terrible lapse in judgement and broke the law. Ray Dinari was very professional. He keep me informed on every step of the process. Ray would take the time to explain to me in detail what was going ...so that I would have an idea of what to expect. Ray was able to work out a deal to where my case was reduced to misdemeanor and I am able to do work in exchange for serving jail time. I will also have the opportunity to try to have my record expunged after completing my probation period. As a defense attorney, Ray Dinari felt more like a long time friend who was trying to help me out verses a hired attorney. If I ever know of anyone needed legal help, I am definitely referring them to Ray Dinari.

Thank you

First and foremost, I would like to emphasize that this review is the least I can do to thank Ray for his excellent work! Back in November was I was charged with a misdemeanor vandalism. I honestly did not think how serious of a crime it is, until my sentences were read on my court date. I didn't qu...alify for a public defender at Harbor so I was approached by Ray. My first impression of him was that he was very confident and knowledgeable. I'm not going lie, I was a bit skeptical. But I went with my gut feeling since I had too much to risk losing (career) - It was the best decision I have ever made! Not only was Ray very responsive whenever I contacted him but every course of action that he informed to me about was executed according to plan. Ray promised be in the beginning that he'd do whatever it takes to drop the charge, or at least get it reduced. He had gone beyond my expectation, and as of 2 weeks ago - my case was completely dismissed! Thank you again, Ray! God bless you and your family. Song

Ray was a great lawyer

This was the second time I had used him and both times he successfully got me what I needed with my case! First case was a driving on suspended and was reduced to driving without a license, and second case was a 2nd dui with mandatory jail time and he got me home confinement as I work two jobs and co...uld not have done jail time. I was thankful for his services, he knew the court and laws inside and out, he was always available any time I had questions and treats you like a friend rather than a client. With any lawyer, you will pay money, and I can say he was worth every dollar and I would recommend him to all of my family and friends.

DUI in Fullerton

Last year in March I received a DUI in Fullerton which was a horrible experience. I was referred to Ray by a friend who had explained its not something you want to take on by your self. Needless to say Ray's understanding of DUI cases was impressive. Never planning to drink and drive any more but ...I know exactly who to call or refer.

I remember your case details and while I appreciate your kind remarks, I must admit that we had very good facts to work with and I had to do was to bring them to the attention of the Judge and the prosecutor. Thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts on this site.

"I've known Ray for about two years now. He's a mainstay at North Court in Fullerton. Ray's big personality and warmth fill the courtroom. I like Ray because he's a nice guy. I know his clients like him because he uses that big personality to his client's advantage. I've seen Ray in action, negotiating cases with Judges and DAs, and Ray's powerful demeanor always seems to win them over. I highly recommend Mr. Dinari in the area of Criminal Defense."
