Great attorney with sharp mind and ability to get things done with your interest in mind

I was uncertain regarding the direction of my DV case with my current lawyer. I received the referral from another attorney and came for a consultation with Mr. Stadlin. Afterward, I decided to hire Dmitry to represent me since I felt he was asking the right questions and giving good assessments wi...th the information that I provided. I am happy to have made that decision since Dmitry provided the result that I wanted from the beginning: My case was dismissed. From the time when I switched over from my previous attorney during the pretrial to the trial day, Dmitry did not waste time but rather used time effectively to comb over things and deal with DA office. I am impressed with Dmitry's investigative skills and his technological understanding of high tech related evidence as well as his attention to details. Dmitry also demonstrated the knowledge of how the system works and more importantly, able to explain to me all the little processes that could help me with my case. His explanations and suggestions were straight forward and logical which helped me quickly understand and agree to the decisions and the directions that he presented to me. When Dmitry saw the opportunity, he jumped on and worked effectively and very quickly to reach the solution that led to the dismissal; and yes, he did save me a lot of money that I would have spent. If you're looking for an effective and sharp attorney with good understanding of the system, technologies, and focusing on getting the best solution for you rather than ripping you off, I would recommend using Dmitry as your legal representation. I really appreciate your help Mr. Stadlin!

Delivered well over expectations

Dmitry Stadlin provided excellent legal advise and representation in court. I was not in the U.S. and Dmitry was able to handle all communications online via email after an initial phone conversation. Communication was clear and easy to understand for a layman, and responses to email questions we...re always prompt. He delivered well over expectations and helped get my criminal record for a DUI expunged, for a case with several special circumstances. I highly recommend Dmitry.

Honest, Responsive, Helpful

I desperately needed an attorney to guide me through some past charges from my youth that had supposedly been expunged. I tried hard to figure it out on my own, but realized it was just too complicated. I went thru several other sources to find an attorney, but they were either too busy to help me,... or required a ton of information and cost before providing me any guidance. I found Dmitry on yelp, and was honestly extremely leery of finding an attorney online (my standard thoughts of attorneys are sleazy lawyer, and who finds a good attorney on yelp). We emailed and talked on the phone a bit (he was willing to provide some insight right away) and I decided I was out of options, so why not go for it and just be ready to be completely ripped off. I was amazed at how helpful he was and is still (it's been almost a year, and he's still responding to my questions even though he has completed what I needed). My situation turned out to be more complicated than I thought it would be, and he took care of it, without asking for additional compensation. He was very honest, straightforward, responsive and willing to do research and figure it out. He even assisted me further when I needed additional assistance. Dmitry was excellent and restored my faith in attorneys, in general, and finding a professional online! I often have high expectations for professionals, but Dmitry took the time to explain everything to me, prepared me for potential outcomes and was very organized - I was really impressed. Thanks so much!!!

Thank you for your consultation

Dmitry quickly responded to my inquiry and offered the legal guidance I needed. He was honest and straightforward and not just after my money. He even helped me obtain a document from the court free of charge for a case stemming back 15 years ago. His consultation gave me exactly what I needed to mov...e forward. He came as a recommendation to me from Ken Mandel, and sure is a recommendation I would gladly pass along to anyone seeking legal advice/ services. I cannot thank you enough Dmitry!

Dedicated

I came to Dmitry for representation at a later than normal point in my case. He is the first attorney I have ever hired and was recommended to me by another highly experienced criminal defense attorney. I was hesitant to hire an attorney at all for my case but when I spoke to Dmitry, his transparency... on expectations and his high level of organization won my trust in his professionalism. His initially impressed knowledge of my case’s potential outcomes and the logical thought process he presented convinced me of his ambition to develop a strategy that would maximize the defense. With a soon apparent and seemingly strong positive reputation within the Santa Clara County criminal court community, he exceeded my expectations by delivering a case result that was as much in my favor as possible. As time lapses from when you read this review, I expect Dmitry’s skillset to have only grown continuously stronger by the day with each additional case ownership. If I went back, I would retain him again and can now recommend him with confidence to those in need of criminal defense. My only regret is to have not hired him sooner than when I did. Thank you for your dedication and care in handling my case, Dmitry.
