    - Former Client
    "He defended me successfully and I was found not guilty. I am grateful to Andrew for seeking and defending justice."
    Andrew defended me in a serious traffic violation of which I was not guilty. He kept me informed at all times and was knowledgeable and responsive. Notwithstanding that the judge would not accept a plea bargain for this offense as a matter of policy, Andrew requested a trial. He defended me successfully and I was found not guilty. I am grateful to Andrew for seeking and defending justice. I would recommend him highly.
    - Former Client
    "As far as lawyers go, Mr. Sachs is an "11 out of 10""
    WOW, can't say enough about David Sachs, professional, aggressive, knowledgeable and never left me in the dark about my felony DWI case. When I hired Mr. Sachs and his firm I already had a felony DWI conviction and I was sentenced to five years' probation. I came to the firm with my second felony DWI charge and probation violation. Mr. Sachs was able to get me restored back to probation with no jail time. Then I picked up my third felony DWI charge and I thought it was all over for me. However, Mr. Sachs never lets up! I doubted his belief that I could get back on probation and stay out of state prison. But in the end, he delivered! Mr. Sachs gave a very passionate sentencing argument to the judge. I was very moved myself. Because of the Mr. Sachs' loyalty to me and his profession, the impossible was made possible! As far as lawyers go, Mr. Sachs is an "11 out of 10". God Bless.

    "He is very responsive and clearly knows what he is doing."
    Thank you for treating me as if I was a VIP. David did a great job getting my speeding charge dismissed. He is very responsive and clearly knows what he is doing.
    - Former Client
    "David's professionalism put me at ease and I felt confident in his ability to represent me during my court appearance."
    David was very knowledgeable yet also pragmatic and focused when discussing the outcomes surrounding my case. He was able to reach the best deal for me, getting my 6 point traffic ticket dropped to NO points and will NOT be reported to the DMV. He's affordable, and it was immediately obvious to me that he is not concerned about price gouging. David's professionalism put me at ease and I felt confident in his ability to represent me during my court appearance. Everything about the process felt organized and well-managed, and I have no reservations recommending his services.

    - J.B.
    "With me every step of the way"
    Keith Brown and Andy Proto are bothe very caring, knowledgeable and attentive attorneys. They were with me every step of the way through a very tough child custody case. On first meeting, Keith told me we would come out victorious and he held true to that. Their strategy was explained clearly and decisively throughout and was available at any time to answer any questions or concerns I ever had. When it came down to crunch time, they worked countless hours even outside of their regular business hours to get the results we want ed and needed. I would recommend this firm and these attorneys to anyone in need.
