George was great at keeping me aware of my options and what was going on with my case. I was grateful to have help navigating the court system, especially during COVID where everything dragged out quite a while. He made sure I understood the potential outcomes of each decision I made and was very supportive and responsive during the whole process. Highly recommended!

Great attorney, very Professional. Highly recommend. He knows his stuff. I really appreciated his knowledge.

George is a true professional. George is an excellent attorney who knows the law well and is dedicated to resolving the case in your favor. George was always there for me, ready to answer my questions or promptly returned my calls. If you need a great attorney with a strong background in criminal law, listens to you and goes to bat for you, call George. I can't thank George enough for all of his hard work!

I have known George Gigarjian for over 3 years as my criminal defense lawyer. He is a pleasure to be around with and has a great sense of humor. His calming demeanor and extensive knowledge of Santa Cruz’s legal system helped me feel at ease and I knew that he was the right lawyer to hire. At the end of our first meeting, he laid out his fee in simple terms and our path moving forward. George is professional, reliable, and a great communicator. He is easy to work with and always responsive throughout my case multiple times. What I admire is his honesty and helpfulness in my case and outside life. He would tell me all of my options and what he believes the chances are in each path I may take. He would even help me with other tasks outside of the court case, even though he didn’t need to. He went above and beyond for me throughout the whole process. George made it comfortable and eased my state of mind during these extremely difficult times. I am grateful to have George represent me in my dire situation, and no doubt would pick him again to represent me. I highly recommend George to anyone who may require his services.

George was my lawyer in a personal injury case where another driver ran a red light and hit me. I was injured and it was a complicated case for many reasons including no wage loss due to the timing and nature of work that I do and also me being stoic. A couple of local lawyers weren't interested in my case but George asked good questions and took my case right away. I felt like he got to know me as a person which was important in building my case. I would use George again and would recommend him to friends.

George Gigarjian represented my 18 year old daughter in an incident that resulted in accidental injuries. George was thorough, competent, easy to work with, and always responsive throughout the four years that this case dragged on. I highly recommend George to anyone looking for an attorney that will provide you with well-informed, candid advise; will guide you through the legal hurdles involved; will represent you and your case extremely well; and will charge clear reasonable fees. I feel that we were most fortunate in having George working with us.

My son is a UC Santa Cruz student and was involved in a drunken incident on the college campus that resulted in his arrest and possible felony charges. We hired George to defend him with the hope that he could settle for misdemeanors. George knew exactly what my son needed to do to show the district attorney that this was an isolated imicodent and that his overall character was good and deserving of a second chance. He ended up with one misdemeanor with a one year informal probation. This was a better outcome than we had hoped for, and definitely due to George’s excellent advice and negotiating skillls with the DA’s office. All We can say is “Thanks George!”

I highly recommend George to anyone who needs help from a lawyer. I recently had some accusations against me in which I needed to get a lawyer for both criminal and civil defense. I had a possible 2 felonies against me and a restraining order which I did not deserve, so I hired George to help me clear things up. George kept me updated on the process of everything and made me feel like he was trying his hardest to help. He was in contact with district attorney who was contemplating filing the charges against. George shared lots of info with the DA to hopefully stop the 2 felonies from being charged against. George was successful in doing so and my charges were 100% dropped before they were filed. It was an enormous relief to have that off of my shoulders and to avoid wasted time in court. With my restraining order, George got in contact with the party that asked for a restraining order, he was able to reason and talk sense into the person, and was able to make an agreement to drop the restraining order against me. I am so thankful that I decided to hire George to help me in my situation. He was able to fight everything away and cleared the plate for me! If you need help with criminal or civil defense, George is the person you need on your side as he goes above and beyond to help his clients. I strongly recommend him to anyone in need, Thank you George!

Recently I had the need to hire a criminal defense attorney. Mr. George Gigarjian had come highly recommended to me from a close friend who also happens to be an attorney. I knew I would be in good hands because I respect my friends’ opinion and knew he would only recommend the best person to defend my case. I had never been involved in a criminal case before, and of course, I was very emotional and concerned about the situation. I frantically called his number on a Friday before a holiday weekend and surprisingly he answered his office phone. Two hours later I was sitting in front of him at his office. I immediately knew he was the right man for the job. He was so professional and yet so empathetic to my state of mind. He laid out the facts in a very down to earth manner which helped me to understand our path going forward. He explained to me the sequence of events that would happen as I have never been through anything like this before. He handled my case in a very efficient and timely manner. I never called him one time that he did not answer my call. In the courtroom he conducted himself in a very professional manner. He worked the case perfectly which resulted in a complete dismissal of the criminal charge. I am so indebted for the service that George provided me. I highly recommend George to anyone who may be in need of this service. George has many attributes that compliment his chosen profession. He is an excellent communicator, he is honest, driven and dedicated. These are all important traits, but he has a good heart, and thats makes him a cut above.

George is a fantastic lawyer. Having never dealt with the criminal justice system before in my life, I felt very uneasy at the beginning of the process but George's calm demeanor and extensive knowledge of the Santa Cruz County legal system put me at ease. George was very quick to respond when I first reached out to him for help. He told me upfront what his expectations were for the case and sentencing should I be convicted giving a very clear best and worst case scenario. Given the complexity of my case he outlined some very crucial advice in helping me show the judge and DA that I was not a risk to be a repeat offender, and in the end the judge's sentence was half of that of what George's "best case scenario" would be. I owe George all the credit for helping me through this process and receiving a much more lenient sentence than what was anticipated.
