Thank you Atty. Ross!

I cannot thank enough Atty. Ross for his legal sevice. He was very compassionate with my case because it was my first time to be in such situation and I was so scared. I cannot imagine going through this without a brilliant lawyer like him. He communicated and explained every legal detail in laypers...on term and responsive to my all my texts. l felt supported," "treated with respect, compassion," "genuinely cared for and he was my "rock" during my emotional times". He was calm and strategic and demonstrated great work ethic. Felt like like I am a priority and never felt rushed whenever I needed reassurance that I will be ok. He was on top of my case and achieved a great outcome. I cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Atty. Ross! You are really a super lawyer!

Home Run!

Ross handled two separate cases for me and did an excellent job representing me on both. In both cases, we got the best outcome possible. He got my record expunged and a Certificate of Rehabilitation granted. He was professional and did a great job. He was very honest with me from the start about th...e possibilities and limitations. He supported me 100%. He went to bat for me. He understood my situation completely. I got the best outcome possible with both of my cases and I can't thank him enough.

"Ross has a huge advantage over most criminal defense attorneys having been a Deputy District Attorney. "they know that he knows what they know". His knowledge of both the law and Procedure is excellent and evident in his pro bono contributions. Local endorsements are stellar. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with him first."
