George Jacob Gigarjian

I recently worked with George and I am so pleased with the outcome! He was extremely knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process. He was always available to answer my questions, provided great advice, and was very understanding of my situation. He made sure that I was informed every step of the way and I could not have asked for better representation. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer!

I would highly recommend the services of George Gigarjian. George is completely professional, experienced, and honest. He was extremely patient and responsive to my MANY questions. George helped make my process smooth and free from excessive stress. I would recommend George to any of my family or friends in need of a friendly and knowledgable lawyer.

We worked with George on a tough case for 2 years. We met with George several times in person as well as on Zoom and on the phone. George is not only a rockstar at what he does in the court room, but he is also deeply involved in the Santa Cruz community. He is personable and empathetic, while maintaining the highest level of integrity and professionalism. We highly recommend George!

My girlfriend and I don't drink often, but we finally decided to go out on the weekend to celebrate her finishing her exams. We went out a little late and the restaurant we were at was closing soon. We ended up not wanting to waste the alcohol and drank too quickly (stupid decision). It began raining heavily and on the drive home, the car hydroplaned and we slid off the road into the forest. The car got totaled, I had minor injuries, and my girlfriend had a bruise. Right after getting out of the car, the police arrived on the scene with ambulances. I told the officers truthfully what happened, took an alcohol breath test, and was arrested for a felony DUI with bodily injury to the passenger (my girlfriend.) Long story short, after recommendations from people around the area about George, I decided to hire him as my lawyer. He was very knowledgeable about my sort of cases and transparently broke down what could happen--best case scenario vs worst case scenario kind of things. He was very detail oriented, knew the law inside-out, and knew what he was talking about. Best of all he had a great sense of humor to make light of such a dark situation. After listening to his advice and doing the things that could help my case better, he was able to drop my felony DUI with bodily injury to just a misdemeanor DUI! If it wasn't for George, my life trajectory would have been completely different and it helped me to realize picking a good lawyer is the difference between being labeled as a criminal or a citizen who made a mistake. I can't stress how lucky I was to hire George as my lawyer and I hope this review can help any future people who might find themselves in a similar situation as I did.

George is not only smart and personable, he knows the law and how the system works. Just as important, he knows all the people associated with the Santa Cruz court system. He has been my lawyer for about five years and has helped me with a variety of legal issues. He calms me down and puts me at ease – I have every confidence in his abilities and his work ethic. George is the man to call especially if your freedom is at stake. He is a trusted advisor.
