Outstanding legal advice and reasonably priced attorney

I hired Mr. Srulowitz to represent me in a divorce and in the eventual financial problems that follow. He did an excellent job in representing me and protecting my interests. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a great attorney. Mr. Srulowitz also does criminal defense work and he is... an outstanding advocate for his clients. His fees are reasonable and he is the best value for money in the San Joaquin County Area. He treats his clients with respect and gives you the best legal advice.

I'll Do the Worrying

There was a “fender bender,” and the DA office decided to do a criminal prosecution. Even the police report stated, “No prosecution will be sought.” It was bogus from the start. Doug tactic was to drag out the proceedings as long as possible. No appearance was needed until the court date. Doug assu...red me “I’ll do the worrying.” Doug’s gave a fair quote, a project fee, which covered his services. The majority of the other attorneys I interviewed wanted a higher fee, and for me to be booked by the police, arranged in court and post a $25,000 bail. Doug had all this waived by the court. The DA office had the court dismissed the case before going to trail. Therefore, I highly recommend Doug, because of his professionalism and being fair on his fees.

A Compassionate Attorney with a High Standard of Ethics

When I needed an attorney that would tell me straight up what I needed to hear instead of flowering over the issues, I was extremely grateful to find Mr. Srulowitz. As he listened to me tell my story, he gave me time to compose myself before being straitforward with me about what we could and could ...not accomplish. Because I believed that Mr. Srulowitz was genuinely compassionate towards my case, I entrusted my case to him and in the end, we obtained exactly what we went after. Doug was always on top of the court hearings, paper work, etc. He always returned my phone calls and emails and always let me know what was happening. I am so thankful that Doug was the attorney that I had chosen and today my 15 year old and I are on our way to rebuilding our broken relationship. Because of his high standards of ethics, I would most definately refer Doug to anyone looking for an attorney to go to bat for them in a fair and honest manner!!
