Perry Pearson Cares for her clients

Mary Robinson We were referred to Deborah by a family member and was told how great she was. Deborah was indeed great to work with and made our estate planning smooth and straighforward. She guided us through the entire process and was responsive answering all of our questions. After signing all the documents, she provided a nice binder with all documentation as well as providing copies of documents requiring retitled. I highly recommend Deborah for estate planning needs.

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!

Julia Epstein Steve Scribner knows immigration law inside and out and helped us get a permanent residency visa for our son-in-law. We really appreciated the service he provided for our family.

Sonido Carranza Great lawyer and great service

Kim Buckley We work with Mr. Meyer in many landlord/tenant cases. He is very knowledgeable, and he works hard to fight for landlords. In California, landlords usually got the raw deals, but Mr. Meyer always found ways to protect us and reduce the eviction time. His work ethic, his professionalism, and his knowledge are outstanding. I highly recommend Mr. Meyer to all landlords who have issues with tenants. All the bad reviews are from sleazy tenants who can no longer abuse the California system and stay for free without paying landlords. If you are a landlord and have complex cases dealing with tenants, you should hire this law firm. If you have to deal with an unreasonable rent-control city, you should hire this law firm.

Grace Grapentine Very experienced, easy to talk to and takes care of all paperwork quickly. Will be completely my living trust with them as soon as my other obligation is done.

Jessica Sanches I recently needed to hire a lawyer for a legal matter, and after receiving a very expensive quote from someone else, a friend recommended I contact Lawyer Nafiz Ahmed. I reached out to him after regular business hours and was pleasantly surprised to get a quick response right away. Not only was his quote significantly lower than the first lawyer’s, but he also assured me the process would be handled quickly. Once I officially hired Nafiz, he was extremely responsive, answered all my questions, and provided a clear timeline. To my surprise and thanks to his incredible work, everything was completed earlier than expected. After my case was approved, I also needed an authenticated court copy. Nafiz was happy to take care of it for a small fee and handled it efficiently as well. I’ve worked with other lawyers before, and I can confidently say Nafiz is one of best I’ve ever dealt with. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend his services. I’m genuinely grateful for his fast, professional, and outstanding work.
