Boris is an exceptional lawyer who produces results

Boris is excellent - I was dealing with a terrifying arrest and potential felony charge after a domestic dispute. I’ve never even received a speed ticket before. Boris was empathetic, professional and rigorous, listening to my case and asking smart questions fk get context. He quickly turned around w...ork within 24 hours to get my case dismissed. Incredible grateful for Boris.

Mr. Bindman is a talented criminal defence attorney. Not only is he skilled with interpreting evidence and facts, he has a talent for reading people and anticipating needs. Mr. Bindman cares about the well being of his clients and devotes his time to winning your case. I'm thankful Mr. Bindman was... able to get me justice. I highly recommend his services and talents!

Go elsewhere!!!

If I can leave no stars, I would. Let me first start off by saying this. Boris Bindman will show his willingness and eagerness to help you with your legal issues. He will also show you that he cares sooo much about you. All is an act! Once he has your money, he will ghost you, not respond to you...r calls and voicemail on his office and cell phone, ignore your texts, as well as emails. He just disappears. Leaves you out in the cold, defenseless. The man doesn't care about your case, only the money. If you want a lawyer whose passionate about your case, willing to help you, is professional, Boris Bindman is NOT the one. Take your money elsewhere. There are many other lawyers that won't treat you wrong. I will be filing a complaint with the Ca Bar. Those of you out there that he has screwed over, there is help. File your complaint at link. https://www.calbar.ca.gov/public/complaints-claims/how-to-file-a-complaint Also check his reviews on Yelp.

Boris is the best criminal defense attorney to fight for you

I have done extensive research before I found Boris, he is one of the best lawyers in the Bay Area and I highly recommend him to fight for you. He is not only the sharpest, but also devoted to win your case. Boris helped me to resolve an incredibly complicated restraining order case. It turned out ...that I made the best decision in finding Boris. From the initial consultation, I was impressed with Boris’s brilliant advice and smart strategies in winning this case. He knows the law very well, extremely easy to talk to, take time to listen, made lots of efforts reading and researching my case. There were several surprise turns in my case, but throughout the 3 months that he worked with me, he was responsive, always on my side and patiently guided me every single step of way on what to do. I may be the 100th client who say he’s genuinely caring. Many times he went above and beyond for my case. Lastly, we went through a week long difficult back and forth mediation. Boris’s work and advice are game changer, which lead me to where I am now, finally resolving one of the most complicated restraining order cases, making the impossible possible. If you're looking for a great criminal defense lawyer, help with restraining orders, give Boris a shot, rest assure that you’re in good hands.
