I didn’t think my case could turn out so well !!

Retaining Mr. Somers was the best move I could have made in my case. I was involved in a multiple felony case and walked away with a misdemeanor and time served. Ted also attended most of my mandatory court appearances on my behalf, which was a god send for me considering I live over 8 hours away. Th...anks to Ted somers I have control of my life again . Thank you Mr. Somers for taking such a proactive approach to my case

Client

Mr. Somers is very responsive to your needs. Always there to answer your questions. Most attorneys you cannot get a hold of. Mr. Somers always responds via email or phone call. Our case was complex but Mr. Somers got it done, with no worries assuring me that it would turn out in our favor. Charges dr...opped and time served.

Excellent Defense

Tes showed up as my attorney. I have an extensive record and a case that had me worried about my future. Insured me the whole way that the case will be settled for for credit for time served. With probation. Although I didn't feel guilty of the crime I felt that my best bet is to follow the advice of... my attorney. He assured me he was willing to go to trial if I wanted to fight the case and that he thought my chances were good I would win. His confident ability in the courtroom and his ability to do the homework on your case is what truly sets him apart from other lawyers that I've had in the past when I've had to wait till the last minute to get them to do anything. I would definitely recommend him as even after the case is settled he still is doing work for me which goes to show his character a man of integrity and a person who keeps his word.

Excellent

My husband was in custody on charges including two strikes. Theodore Somers got him out of custody and resolved the case for a misdemeanor in deal that was safe for his immigration purposes. He brought the best possible deal out of the case. He is professional, honest, reliable, made the whole proces...s smooth and easy with his knowledgeable. His price is reasonable and correct. I strongly recommend Theodor Somers to anyone who needs an excellent lawyer.

Awesome defense Attorney

In the year of 2017 and the month of February I was arrested for 2 felony charges that had happen to be not all that it seemed with a incident that occurred with my sons mother . I was currently on felony probation, and I had hired Mr. Somers to represent me. My goal was to be released from county ja...il my next court date and to have all charges dropped or dropped to a misdemeanor. Ted Somers was very good at talking to me about my case and coming to see me in county jail to go over my case with me. He showed that he actually cared unlike most public defenders and even lawyers. Ted did exactly what I had asked of him and got me out my next court date got all the charges dropped execept one but it was reduced to a misdemeanor. I came back a month after release for final sentencing with the possibility of being remanded and or getting hours of community service or alternative custody (ankle monitor) and because he had fought for me and because I was doing what I was suppose to on probation I wasn't given any additional time and we had hit a home run on this case. I appreciate everything Ted had done for me and I would recommend him to anyone in Shasta county . He's a great defense attorney and a great guy to work with . Thanks Ted!

Codie is a fine young man and excellent father who found himself in an all too common position, following a minor incident with his son's mom: an overblown and exaggerated police report leads to an overcharged felony complaint, and the setting of bail. Codie retained my services immediately, and we moved quickly to have a defense investigator interview his son's mom, and two other witnesses. Armed with our objective and unbiased investigation, we were able to make plain to the District Attorney just what happened, and settle the case in a manner that allowed Codie to take control and keep himself out of custody moving forward. Respect, Codie. Keep up the good work!
