Post & Post helped me!

First off let me tell you I never ever post reviews on these online sites, but I wanted to go ahead and do it because I have never had such a great experience dealing with lawyers. A little background, I found myself with a bunch of cases and I had the choice of dealing with many attorneys. Price was... not an issue for me, I just wanted the best representation I could find. Post & Post went above and beyond for me in my cases and were able to negotiate an incredible settlement. I am so happy I hired this law firm!

Highly Recommend

I was referred to Adam through a friend several days after I was charged. He immediately offered me advice over the phone and met with me for a free consultation before I had to make any decisions. I could not be more pleased that I hired Adam through this long and stressful process. He assisted me ...every step of the way and ultimately won my case!

He Is The Lawyer ALL Other Lawyers Should Aspire To Be

This guy is GREAT! Like a Pokemon, you got to hire this guy if you are ever in trouble. He cares about his clients and charges a reasonable price. Not only is a awesome at what he does as a lawyer, he also has a great personality in that he has the persona of someone you wouldn't mind having as a coo...l drinking buddy, which all comes into play when you're working in law. Let me explain: Okay, I got pulled over in El Segundo for a nonsense DUI! My BAC was .17 and the second reading was .18. I was facing deep doo doo, not to mention the dangerous weapons possession charge that the cop, Aaron Corkins, snuck on me, I believe as revenge for working with Copwatch, a police watchdog outfit devoted to monitoring the police and ensuring that citizens' civil rights don't get violated by them. Anyways, the dangerous weapons possession was upgraded to a felony. I knew at this point I needed to hire a lawyer because a "public defender" would not do (they also don't give a f'ck)! I found Mr. Post by pure serendipity the next day after I was released from custody by browsing through the search engine after typing, "DUI lawyers, Los Angeles". My instincts, intuition, told me to go with him. I am very happy I did. That is when Mr. Post worked his magic. I was able to cop a plea, despite the odds, to a 3 month program. No morgues, no 18 month program (which I was going to get despite being a first timer - first time offender), and no other craziness. The dangerous weapons charge - Dismissed! I could not have that on my work especially in light of the volunteer work I do with Copwatch (I know the pigs would love it!) As for the DMV hearing, Mr. Post and his brother worked his magic. See, he's a very personable guy. He walked with his brother, also Mr. Post, who look like twins and they worked the personable angle of it, which made the hearing officer, who was also cool, full of glee! As for the verdict, comes to find out, miraculously, even for a first timer, it was backtracked to March 11, 2011. The decision was made on May 11, 2011. My license is only suspended and up for renewal until July, 2011! This means I will need a restricted license for only a two months! That means no 30 day hard suspension! Damn, I am lucky! But, I have to give thanks to the one and only Mr. Post who gives a damn about his clients and will truly go to bat for them! Thank you, Mr. Post!

Such a professional yet excellent attorney...

Despite my having a higher BAC for my checkpoint DUI, Adam took on my case. Up until the point I was finally convicted of a DUI, he fought very hard to contest the checkpoint legality and went out of his way to help me even outside of court time. Even after my final conviction, he was able to negotia...te the penalties. Since he is such a personable, nice person, he not only is respected within the law world, he gave me so much comfort and support during what was a very difficult time for me. I did not share my situation with friends or family, so Adam was a great source of hope. I went with my instincts - he was one of the first lawyers/firms I called during my search for representation - and I'm glad I went with my gut. I am so fortunate to have found him and seek his help. You also, upon speaking to him, will know that he is someone you can count on. He goes above and beyond for his clients. Thank you, Adam.

Mr. Post is a lawyer you can count on!

I can honestly say that Mr. Post handled my case with exceptional service and professionalism! Mr. Post had a way of comforting my wife and I during a stressful situation by making it clear that he would be there with us every step of the way, and always either calling or e-mailed us about the progre...ss of our case. I can happily say that through his diligence, all charges were dropped!
