A Parent's Best Choice

My wife and I got a call that our young son was in Merced County Jail. He was facing serious charges and we didn’t know where to go for help. I looked online and found Mr. Tenenbaum’s website, saw his positive reviews, and we gave him a call. In our first conversation, he was very calming, understand...ing, and he clearly explained the gravity of the situation. We hired Mr. Tenenbaum on our son's behalf via emailed documents and then he got to work, telling us to expect the process to take about a year. Mr. Tenenbaum was able to address everything without our son travelling from out-of-state for court appearances. We received updates along the way that kept us informed and could always reach him if we had questions. 14-months later, Mr. Tenenbaum was able to negotiate an extremely favorable plea agreement for our son. We highly recommend hiring Mr. Tenenbaum!

Outstanding Criminal Defense Attorney

To whom it may concern, I would like to take the time to recognize Jeffrey A. Tenenbaum, an outstanding Criminal Defense Attorney. I have the Utmost grattitude for his help. Jeffrey and his team fought for me for over fifteen months. I am currently on my path to recovery, w...ith his work, my fines and DUI offense were reduced, all without jail time. He is a seasoned Attorney, he is a Family- man, all that means everything to me, I cannot thank him enough. Respectfully, Hugo H.E.

Experienced, professional and trustworthy. If you need help, call him.

I could not have imagined a scarier situation then being accused of something that you did not do...and then it happened to my child, and I knew true panic. My son was accused of a sexual crime that he did not commit, and if convicted, could change his life forever. I was beyond frightened and des...perate and had NO IDEA what I could expect in that situation. From the moment I met with Jeff he was informative, helped set realistic expectations and was calming and confident. Over a 5 month period he helped us navigate the Merced Juvenile Court system very efficiently, always keeping us informed of updates. He has a great deal of experience, knowledge and long time working relationships that he used to get my son a fair and just outcome. Eventually the charges were dropped and my son is moving on with his life, but Jeff's representation and help were invaluable to our family and I cannot thank him enough. I would absolutely recommend him.

No one would take my case!!!

I was being charged with rape, kidnapping, breaking and entering. I went to jail. I thought my life was over. I kept telling the cops it wasn't me, no one would believe me. A friend recommended this attorney to me and he heard me out and said he would do everything he could to help me. He did, I was ...in jail for about 6 months, he did all kinds of checking around and his investigator did a lot of research on my behalf and found out that in fact I was innocent. In the end the actual criminal did in fact look like me. In the end all of the charges were dropped and I was let go. I would strongly recommend this attorney; he is incredible to work with. He really listened to everything I had to say and he gave me hope. I knew I was innocent, because in fact I wasn't even there at the time of the crime. I just live in the same building as the jerk who now serving 30 years. I give Jeffery Tenenbaum an overall excellent rating. He gives all Attorney’s a good name.

unbelieveable results

I started with Mr tenenbaum as my public defender quite a few years back. At first i was just a dope addict with no where in life to go. After a few cases as a defendent of jeffery's he started to want me to succeed. He got me into the delancey st foundation. Two years later, a life changing had take...n place. I had turned my live around completely. I had not been able to stay clean long enough to see clearly until jeffrey handed me the opportunity. His skills in court allowed him to convince the judge to see the law system for what it should be, a second chance a a way to change. To many lawers just collect money a use the law and jails to their advantage. It is really pleasing to find someone who is noble now days. Even after my case's had closed, he still has been willing to reopen and mend any lose ends that my case's had in order for me to start fresh in life. My hat is off to this man as yours will be too if a chance is givin.
