Calabasas Criminal Defense Law Firm

Mr. Silverstein, "James", is an amazing person. A gentleman that is well known, professional and responsive. Until I read these reviews, I assumed I was special, based on the genuine concern, empathy, courtesy and consistency that I and my father have experienced, since the day we met, in his amazing office. I am soooo humbled grateful and proud that we were able to retain the best. All things relative to a legal battle can be very intimidating and discouraging. Our engagement with James, in every instance has reaffirmed in my heart, that he is a good person...They do still exist. True to the motto that he emulates, "If you want to get something done; go to a busy man." I had questions and some concerns, he never made me feel insignificant or not worthy of his representation. He taylors his mannerisms to your needs. I will always seek his guidance first if I am ever faced with any legal obstacles. Thank you James Silverstein. There are not enough words to express what this victory means to my family. Blessings!Shelly Williams-Bey

This review is long overdue but James has helped my husband, my brother in law and a friend. There's just no other criminal lawyer I would recommend. He's super attentive, personable, caring, and most importantly works fast! I've dealt with a few lawyers and he's by far the best! Always the first in court and always so well prepared, this guy works his butt off to get you the best deal and you can definitely notice it. So happy we found him!

I would like to thank Mr. Silverstein for his wonderful representation in my case. He was patient, very knowledgeable and kept me up to date every step of the way. He was always available for me and answered all of my calls.His staff is very well organized and working with them was a smooth process. I would gladly refer Attorney Silverstein to anyone in need.

The biggest thing that stands out to me about James is that he is incredibly genuine. He treats you, and defends you, as if you are part of his family. Even within the first few minutes of talking to James you begin to fell better because he reassures you that everything is going to be okay. James represented me in a way that will never be forgotten. I am 100% confident that he can handle anything throw his way. He is aggressive in fighting your case, has extensive knowledge about the law, and is really good at thinking on his feet. I couldn't ask for a better attorney.
James, you are my lawyer for life!

Hiring James to cover my traffic case was one of the easiest experiences I've ever had, and he was able to get my ticket completely dismissed! He was very through with his explanation about how he'd go about handling my ticket. Detailed what was important and was graciously lenient on the fee because of financial difficulties as a student. After agreeing to have him represent me I didn't have to appear or attend any type of proceedings, and could continue with school without any hiccup. And it wasn't any trouble calling him up to get info on how my case was progressing. Overall it was a very easy and straightforward process hiring James to handle my traffic ticket, and will return if need be.

I cannot recommend this law firm enough. James Silverstein is a brilliant lawyer, the toughest negotiator, and the most client-focused professional I have ever met. He went above and beyond for me more than once. I would not trust my cases with anyone other than this man. He is the best attorney I've ever met, and his other clients will attest to that as well. When we were in court with my co-defendants and their attorneys, Mr. Silverstein was clearly more competent and experienced than the other defendants' attorneys. I could tell that my co-defendants wished that Mr. Silverstein was representing them instead of their own lawyers (who seemed inexperienced by comparison). The judge clearly respected Mr. Silverstein and I think his relationships must have a positive effect on clients' cases. I am a repeat customer and have also brought other business to this law firm; I know that whoever I recommend Mr. Silverstein to will be as happy with their legal representation as I have been!!!

This man is simply incredible with a heart of gold. He went up and above and beyond the call of duty. I wasn't even his client until we started a conversation in front of the clerks office. I had a pending case/warrant that I knew nothing about from 26 years prior and this man took the time out of his day to represent me on the spot and got everything cleared up. Had it not been for him I may not have been able to work in the field that I am working now and my career would have been over. He was literally a god send. Not only that, I didn't feel that he was trying to take advantage of me or that he only had his interests in mind. He genuinely seemed to want to help and he did everything he could to make that happen in every way. He is an exceptional find and I'd recommend him to anybody.

James Silverstein represented me for an extremely difficult case which took many months and some clever jousting, for want of a better word, and managed to achieve a favorable result. He was always available when I called him and kept me up to date with the progress of the case. I am extremely grateful to him for his advice and guidance!

We found James Silverstein through Yelp and based on his great reviews, met with him to discuss a DUI charge. He was up-front with us about what we were facing and assured us that he would do everything he could to get us the results we were hoping for. He kept a positive outlook throughout everything and stayed true to his word about fighting hard for the best possible outcome. He was always available for questions or assistance and treated us not just as clients, but as friends. I'm so relieved we hired him - he was able to get us a judgment with no jail time, just community service and an alcohol program. I couldn't believe it!! Thank you so much James!!
