This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

No good Attorney

Mrs . Kingston had assisted in imposing an illegal sentence in which her client, after serving some substantial time, sentence was overturned by the higher courts. Mrs. Kingston is a sorry excuse for an attorney in Alameda County!

OUTSTANDING Lawyer - Thoughtful and Tenacious

Joann did an outstanding job. I was arrested on false charges by my wife and therapist. In 1 meeting, Joann said she agreed and accepted my case. She and her private investigator research the facts of my case extensively. They developed a theory on why my ex wife and therapist made up the stories... and found the evidence to prove it. I was NEVER charged with a crime and the arrest was ultimately DESTROYED. Without Joann and her outstanding mind, I would probably be in jail today. I am most grateful. God Bless Joann.

I owe her everything

Joanne saved my son. She understood who I was and she understood my situation. Her expertise was astonishing. She truly cares. I owe her so much. She figured out details of the case no one knew and she's a true litigator. Thank you Joanne if you ever see this from the bottom of our hearts.

Attorney not worth her salt.

Hired her for my criminal case, paid her 5000 in retainer fees. While i was arrested, she never showed up to court and never was the attorney of record. and claims that the retainer was all used up for the 3 times she visted me in jail?? >??`

Great Job. Well done.

I hired Ms. Kingston to represent me when I was charged with a D.U.I on two sperate cases. Obviously she was fantastic on both occasions. She was successful in getting all of my charges dropped. She also represented me for my D.U.I. hearing with the D.M.V. She was awesome again. The D.M.V. didn't sus...pend my license. I would highly recommend her to whoever has a challenge with any type of felony conviction. She also let me keep my arm and leg before and after my cases. I could be more satisfied with her hard work. If I had more money she would have gotten a bonus for the all the time we spent going back and forth to court. I was fighting my D.U.I. case for 11 months. All I could say when it was over was I don't believe I won. She is a great attourney. Sincerely, Joaquin
