Nhan Nguyen I was recommended to Ray by a friend who had also used his services. I trusted that recommendation so much that I flew all the way from Chicago to San Francisco just to work with him — and it was absolutely worth it. Ray helped me with my asylum case, and thanks to his experience and guidance, my case was granted. He was professional, responsive, and gave clear advice every step of the way. He also supported me through my family-based adjustment of status, which went smoothly as well. I’m very grateful for everything and highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable immigration help. Ask for Ray, he is the best!

Connie B Two dogs attacked me and my dogs as we were walking down the street. I fell and broke my wrist, which needed surgery and had some permanent consequences. What Julia taught me is that you dont know what you dont know when you are thinking of representing yourself. Julia is very good at what she does. There was little for me to do except wait. I think she did an excellent job and I was very happy with the outcome.

Fernando Rodriguez Nick is the absolute man! Hes incredibly knowledgeable and tells it like it is—no sugarcoating. This was my first offense, and I was facing a DUI along with all the penalties that come with that charge. From the beginning, Nick clearly explained what the process would look like and laid out the potential outcomes we might face. Once we received the evidence in my case, Nick immediately developed a plan of action and began executing it without delay. A little background on my case: I left an establishment after having a few drinks and was pulled over at 7:52 PM for not having a front license plate (the timestamps are important in my case). The officer asked if I had been drinking, and I denied it. He claimed to smell alcohol inside my vehicle and had me step out to perform field sobriety tests. I completed the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus, one-leg stand, and walk-and-turn tests as instructed. Despite my cooperation, the officer stated I exhibited "lack of smooth pursuit" in both eyes. This led to the administration of the Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) test. I blew a 0.085 at 8:17 PM and a 0.093 at 8:20 PM. At that point, the officer placed me under arrest and gave me a chemical breath test, where I blew a 0.10 at 8:33 PM and a 0.09 at 8:37 PM. Since I had been pulled over and had my car turned off at approximately 7:52 PM, about 25 minutes passed before I was given the PAS test. The rising BAC readings—0.085 followed by 0.093—strongly suggested that my blood alcohol level was still climbing. This allowed for the argument that I was actually under the legal limit while I was driving. Nick recognized this key detail right away. He brought in a forensic science expert and presented this evidence at my DMV hearing, making that exact argument. Thanks to his expertise, Nick was able to save my driver’s license and spare me the headache of dealing with the DMVs consequences. After winning the DMV hearing, Nick used that success to convince the District Attorney to reduce my charges from a DUI to a Dry Reckless—something that’s extremely rare in the county where I live. I ended up pleading no contest to the Dry Reckless and received 1 year of informal probation, 30 hours of community service, and an $800 fine. All things considered, this was the best possible outcome given my situation and the strict policies in my county regarding DUIs. Nick absolutely crushed it, and I would 100% recommend him to anyone facing a similar situation. I hope I never need a defense attorney again, but if I do, Nick will be my first call—no question!

Steve Tennant Received assistance from Charles Yerxa on a will, power of attorney documents, and trusts for my aunt. Charles is very knowledgeable and takes the time to treat people well. He takes a genuine interest in his clients and looks after their best interests. Highly recommended!
