DONT DO THE CRIME BUT IF YOU DO CONTACT JESSE P DURAN IN THE ANTELOPE VALLEY

The Man knows what he is doing been practicing law for several years. As a formal prosecutor he knows what the inner workings of the LA District attorneys offices Jesse turned my case around, i was looking at 2 to 7 years in prison. I ended getting a suspended sentence and I'm gra...teful he negotiated with the DA's on my sentence reduction.

Great defense attorney.

I was very satisfied and thankful for the service Jessie Duran was able to provide for me. Im going to begin with the fact that i actually had the opportunity to compare his service to that of a previously hired lawyer who was not able to do anything for me, therefore replaced him/her. Jessie Duran g...ets in there and does not settle, he actually looks out for you in every aspect necessary when in that court room. I would highly recommend him as your next defense attorney.

Jesse Duran

We were looking randomly online for a lawyer for my daughter who had felonies charges and Jesse Duran name appeared and we gave him a call. He talked to my husband and daughter and explained to them about her case. We hired him and he got to work on my daughter case. When she was feeling down Jesse r...eassure he was going to do his best and that is exactly what he did. He got all the charges dropped against her!! Thank God for Jesse, without him my daughter wouldn’t be with us today. I strongly recommend Jesse if you ever get in a bad situation and facing jail time or prison Jesse will fight for you!!! Jesse Duran is a very professional lawyer that will stand by and fight for his client. Jesse is the lawyer you will want and need.. I appreciate everything you done for my daughter and us..100% The Best in my book!!

Grateful and very thankful!!

Jesse P. Duran is the best lawyer who will take all cases seriously and takes charge to get cases dismissed and settled. He represented me and he saved my life from an unusual case where my siblings sent me to jail for their own good. Pressing criminal charges against me for something that could of b...een talk through as a family. Mr. Duran heard my story and he knew the right people who also helped me get this case dismissed immediately. Thank you so much Mr. Duran!!!! I highly recommend Mr. Jesse P. Duran because he will help you.

Patient and thorough

Attorney Duran worked with me to get the post possible outcome in my case. He represented me on my case, but also consulted with my attorney on another related case and worked with both of us to get the result we needed. After the case was over he helped me get the charge dismissed. There were sev...eral road blocks along the way but he persisted until we got a favorable outcome.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
