Asked for more money than agreed upon and unresponsive in communication

After a very sizable payment and one initial meeting I was pawned off to numerous people in his staff. Extension after extension because people failed to schedule correctly. After making a deal Robert then asked for more money to finish the case that he was barely even part of. An open and shut case ...costed me thousands. My public defender after did a better more thorough job. Do not hire this highrise con, he's the epitome of a lip service lawyer we all hate.

Amazing Firm!!!

In 2003 I was charged with a very unfortunate misdemeanor sex case. I t had impactful ramifications largely because after being charged I was required to registger for 290 ( CA penal code) annually as a sex offender. Living a "normal" live was very difficult even 10 years after the conviction because... it was essentially impossible to find a job and restart my life. Additionally, I couldn't live anywhere I pleased: I had to stay within the geographical guidelines of schools and such. When I finally did get a job, it was difficult to reside near work. With all of these obstacles in the way, I decided to seek legal representation and see if it could ever be feasible to no longer register as a sex offender. This is when I collaborated with Beles and Beles, Attorneys at Law. I went to them because they were very reputable and and have been established for a long period of time. One of their best attorneys, Manisha Daryani, litigated my case and won it! I no longer have to register as a sex offender and that was the best news in my life for over a solid decade. These processes do take time as there is a lot involved but Manisha stepped me through it the entire journey: staying in touch and keeping me informed with any and all updates. I never felt alone and was certain that I wasn't just any random client. She worked my case with care and passion as law isn't only the firm's profession, but specialty. I would definitely recommend Beles and Beles to ANYONE who wants their case to be litigated the best it possibly can. When I had the pleasure of meeting Robert Beles, it was clear that he is a very charismatic attorney who cares about the wellbeing of his clients. Top rating!!!

Very pleased with Robert's services.

Robert Beles and his team are straightening out my matters that the San Francisco public defender left in shambles. I had to be patient and wait for court dates and for judges to rule in my favor. Thanks to Robert and his team my future looks much better and my record is clean.

Lifesavers

Bob and Annie Beles virtually saved my life. My arrest shocked me. It took a couple of years, but they got me off, completely, with my record expunged. They were extremely empathetic and friendly; realistic, yet encouraging, and as honest as any lawyer I've ever met. Recommended to me by a forme...r FBI agent as the best in my locale at solving my partular problem, Bob and Annie Beles found the perfect argument for dismissal. Yes, there were times I wished someone in their office would returm my calls, but come crunchtime, Bob was always there for me. 4.5 stars
