"I strongly endorse Asit. He is a criminal defense attorney of extensive experience and true expertise, including 25 jury trials with exceptional results. His experience as a prosecutor now combines with his experience as a private defense attorney to provide you with the best possible defense representation. As a former prosecutor, he has "behind-the-scenes" knowledge, training, and experience which he can now put to the best use - defending you in your case. Beyond who he is as an attorney, Asit is a good person, a person of integrity, who will stand by you and fight for you in your case. Asit combines compassion for his clients with dedication to their cases and obtaining the best results. I am a fellow criminal defense attorney in private practice. As such, I can tell you that Asit is my "go to" referral for clients or friends seeking the best possible criminal defense and DUI defense attorney in the San Francisco area. You can count on him."

I have worked on cases with him and observed him in trial on numerous occasions. His dedication to his cases is unmatched and he has a tireless work ethic. His trial skills are superb as is his ability to connect with a jury."

"Dear Prospective Clients: I assure you that if you pick Attorney Panwala, you will be in very good hands. How do I know? I worked very closely with him at the District Attorney's Office of San Francisco. Before I started working there, he helped me learn the ropes. I also had the opportunity to see one of his murder trials. He is professional, charismatic, and extremely intelligent. It is rare to find an attorney who is both brainy and articulate, but that is who he is. Also, it's important to note Asit's background as a Deputy District Attorney in the Homicide Unit. There are not many criminal defense attorneys who are former deputies because they get comfortable doing public service. Now, as a client, you have an opportunity to hire someone who knows both sides of justice very well to win your case. Feel free to reach me at 415.689.7262 if you have any further questions about Asit's competence to handle your case. Yours, Kara"

"Many attorneys possess extraordinary intelligence or an extraordinary personality, but few possess both. Demonstrating that you really can have it all, Asit Panwala is one of the most charismatic criminal attorneys I have ever met whom also possesses the intellectual chops to strike fear in the heart of his opponents. I strongly endorse him for any criminal defendants in need of a good lawyer and happily direct all criminal referrals that pass by my desk to his office."

"I endorse this lawyer. Asit was my supervising attorney when I was a legal intern at the San Francisco District Attorney's Office in the Homicide and Child Sexual Assault Unit. He worked diligently on his cases which included many late weekday nights and weekends even though it was clear that he was not required to work as hard as he did. I certainly did, and still do, admire his work ethic. It was obvious that he went above and beyond in preparing his cases for trial and seeing them through the various stages of trials. I was impressed by his attention to detail, his memory of statutes and facts within his cases, and his ability to follow-through. I find those three qualities of the utmost importance for a lawyer. I would certainly recommend Asit to a friend, co-worker, or family member looking for a criminal trial lawyer as he is certainly an excellent attorney and his years of experience in the criminal justice system would be very advantageous for his clients."

"Asit and I began working together right out of law school in the Bronx District Attorney's Office. Asit was EXTREMELY HARDWORKING and intelligent. He always looked at legal issues and found the obvious conclusions and also discovered the not so obvious conclusions - the issues that people didn't think about. That ability to think outside of the box and to think critically makes Asit an excellent attorney. I would recommend him to represent me or my loved ones without hesitation."
