Knowledgable, thorough, and gets the job done
Kian helped us obtain a restraining order. He used his acute knowledge of the law to guide us through the process and navigate challenges along the way. He is patient, understanding, and very resourceful. I highly recommend him.

Great lawyer - great human!
I met Kian through a chance meeting after receiving an infraction ticket; being new to the country, I wasn't versed in local laws. Kian was very kind and helping me understand my rights, the jargon and what my options are. He walked me through every step of the way, despite how minute my issue was. I highly recommend him, and thank him for his time.

Convictions Expunged
Kian is an extremely knowledgeable, professional and more than competent attorney. He not only was able to get my record cleaned, he advised me of all the possible legal ramifications and implications and kept in contact with me during the whole process and provided excellent legal service. I felt in good hands with Kian. The retainer fee was well more than worth it and I have no hesitation recommending Kian' services if needed.

Reduced a Misdemeanor to an Infraction!!!
The Goldstein Law Group again has provided me nothing but superior service. Attorney Magana was assigned to my case and impressively handled it. I was pulled over for a warrant flag being on a car I was driving and because I was driving without a license, was issued a citation. Magana did his research to show that the warrant was issued to three owners ago prior to the current owner of the car I was driving, and effectively showed I shouldn’t have been pulled over in the first place. This vital information was presented to the Judge and the case was dropped from a Misdemeanor to an Infraction! This is what I call quality service and brilliant to actually take the time to do this kind of research quickly, efficiently, and I got the best results possible.

Excellent service for untenable DUI
My husband was pulled over and given a DUI for prescription medication for making a moving violation due to a medical diagnosis called Prion Disease. Michael Goldstein and Kian Magana made every effort on our behalf to defend my husband and ultimately were able to get the entire case dismissed. We are so grateful for the prompt response, immediate assistance and guidance the team provided us and cannot thank them enough for their relentless work in ensuring dismissal. In six months, we barely had to life a finger and were provided regular and ongoing updates as needed. We never even had to appear in court. It was the most distressing experience for my husband to get this untenable violation, however, Kian and Michael did a superior job of defending my husband and making us feel we were in the most secure hands. We are so pleased with their hard work in ensuring the prosecution drop the case and provided the needed justice we felt my husband deserved.
