A "Libel" Case Filed As "Civil Harassment Restraining Order"
Alex was outstanding defending me in a meritless civil harassment restraining order case. Alex brought up many First Amendment issues, and in his cross exam of the petitioner, elicited that I had never contacted, called, e-mailed, faxed, etc., anything defined in California Code of Civil Procedure 5...

"Attorney Jones and I were on opposite sides of a highly contested family law case. Attorney Jones was very professional at all times in his handling of the case, he responded promptly to correspondence and telephone calls from me, and he did not let our clients' animosity towards each other interfere with the legal issues we encountered or his dealings with me."
