Best attorney Ever top notch criminal defense attorney.

The best Attorney ever ,life saver literally gods gift to me.my dv case was dismissed Demetrius Costy handled my case very well and he is very decent & wise polite man with respect he was honest about my case and explained clearly what’s the outcome gonna be.he represented in court behalf of me and c...onvince the District Attorney to dismiss my case and set me free with no jail time or no probation or no fines nothing…salute for this best man master piece of law.i recommend everyone who was going through hurdles like me to choose good attorney who is reasonable/responsible and who can fight for you and dismiss the charges Demetruis Costy is Number 1 best attorney In alameda county.no more second thoughts. It could be a devastating miserable situation I would face if I didn’t choose Demetruis Costy.I may end up with jail or probation or fines.many attorneys focus on money and loot so the final result leads to minimal jail time or probation. But Demetruis truly stands with client and walk with you and make you win the case .highly highly recommended for everyone.thanks a lot Demetruis Costy .

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
