I went in for a consultation and being scared to death that a little housewife like myself was facing felony charges, he immediately put me at ease in regards to my situation (which wasn't a pretty one). He was super knowledgable and represented me at my court hearing. The charges were dropped and he... seemed just as happy as I was. He even called me a few hours later to check in and make sure I was ok. Hopefully I will never need his services again, but if I did, he is definitely my go to man.

Recently, I retained Evan Zelig to represent me for my criminal case in Sonoma County. I interviewed 2 other lawyers, one of which seemed uninterested and lazily suggested pleaing out during the interview. The other tried to scare me and asked more than double Evans fee for retainer. From the very... beginning, Evan displayed an intimate understanding of the judicial process as well as the local jurisdiction, including familiarity with D.A. etc. He displayed very high levels of discretion and integrity. After explaining my options and the process, he was completely supportive of following my goals for the direction and handling of my case. He did not try to steer my decisions nor did he want to be lazy and cop a plea. instead he fought hard for me and earned every penny. Evans level of communication was outstanding; he never let me wait more than a day and frequently responded immediately even well after hours. He keeps his word for EVERYTHING and follows through til the end, as many months after my case he still fought successfully for return of my property that had been kept as evidence. Evan seriously earned my trust and respect and grossly outperformed the other 4 attorneys I have had the misfortune of retaining. MOST IMPORTANTLY Mr. Zelig got me RESULTS! A lying off duty detective claimed I pointed a pistol at him and made threats, and further lied during his report. The dishonest police also put several thousand of my dollars into a dog bowl in an order to get their canine to hit on it, which they then seized - but NOPE Evan chewed up the case I walked away with no conviction and got my money back way before completion of case. I tried to retain Evan again for another case because he earned my trust and although that case was unfortunately outside of his area of practice, he referred me to a competent colleague. I would strongly recommend Mr. Zelig to friends or family in a heartbeat. THANK YOU EVAN!

Evan was great, every step of the way. He was in constant communication, was honest , knowledgable and very forth coming and available to answer any and all of my questions. He expunged a prior felony conviction for marijuana and had I know him when I was arrested I would have used him on the origi...nal case. Thanks Evan!

I would highly recommend Evan Zelig to handle any criminal matter. He represented my nephew on two serious criminal matters. I am actually a business attorney myself. Evan fought hard to achieve the best possible results on both legal matters. He was incredible about updating us and explaining all ...of the alternatives. It is clear to us that the Criminal judges, District Attorneys and everyone else respects Evan and listens to his recommendations. Evan inspired my nephew to turn his life around for the best. He did this by being a caring, aggressive, knowledgeable attorney and a terrific role model.
