Calabasas Criminal Defense Law Firm

I am most grateful for the professional, yet compassionate way in which you listened to my story of woe after being arrested on a Felony charge last fall (2015). It was my first time of ever being arrested on any charge in my sixty five years. My life has been filled with service to my community, my Church and my God, both as a pastor and a Police Chaplain. I was suddenly overwhelmed with shock, grief, panic and embarrassment. Fortunately, a new friend, Richard Fair, (Fair Bail Bonds) suggested that I contact you to see if you might be able to assist me in my time of trouble. I am so glad he did, as you persisted beyond my expectations in waiting for the precise time and prosecutor to handle my case. I am so relieved! Not only that, but the idea that I could call or text at any time and you would get back to me was reassuring - and I was very pleased to discover you meant what you said! I am so relieved that you were able to settle my case by having it dismissed, first as a Felony and then as a misdemeanor! I am thanking God for you! If you ever encounter anyone with questions as to your caring, your abilities and your patience in dealing with the Legal system, do not hesitate to reach out to me for a positive reference.

Their aren't enough stars to score James performance. He kept me calm and focused so I could live my daily life and not let my foolish mistake affect my personal life. The man should be a life coach.

First off, I am the type of guy that has trouble trusting anyone that wants my money, not to mention lawyers in general. I had gotten my second dui for marijuana. I did some searches and phone calls and was most impressed with Mr. Silverstein when I spoke to him on the phone. He doesnt give off the sleezeball vibe most lawyers will give off within the first ten seconds of meeting them. Mr Silverstein had a very professional phone presence. I ended up speaking with him in his office. Face to face you can tell he is very serious and attentive to all my questions. He made no outrageous promises and worked with us financially. He was NEVER pushy about money. His has a very serious and professional demeanor which im sure impresses anybody he speaks with at any courthouse. He WILL take your case seriously and do his research and use any resource he may have to help your case. He has resources that he used on my case that dealt with my dui involving marijuana. I ended up getting no jailtime with an alcohol program, a wet reckless[which i was already on but he managed to get me on this again, the lady at the alcohol program i applied to was shocked because this never happens], and some community labor. considering this was my second dui and I was ALREADY on probation this is an amazing result. I HIGHLY recommend you at least have a meeting with Mr. Silverstein before going to some sleezeball lawyers office who just wants money and makes false promises. When you hire Mr Silverstein there is no doubt he will be fighting for your case and working for you diligently. I like to think I have good character judgement. I went with my gut, and it worked.

I am very happy to have been referred to Attorney Silverstein. He even took the time to call me back over the holidays. He helped me get my case down to a misdemeanor and was very thorough and attentive to my concerns. I am very satisfied with the outcome and would highly recommend Attorney Silverstein. He is definitely a great attorney.

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!!!

I'm extremely satisfied with Attorney James Silverstein. He was patient and very knowledgeable. A good friend of mine referred him to me, and as we know word of mouth referrals are always most trustworthy!
He handled a Traffic Citation I had for speeding and was able to get it dismissed for me. He saved me money, and a point on my driving privilege. All i did was give him the ticket and he was very fast at getting to work on it. I recommend him to anyone, who doesn't have time to deal with these painful traffic citations, and of course want to maintain a clean driving record lol.
THANK YOU AGAIN Mr. Silverstein.

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!

As a 10-year client, James has represented the owner of our company several times related to moving violations in Los Angeles. He has the experience, and very successful with dismissing all of our citations. His staff is easy to work with, minimal paperwork, and communicates updates to the case as it progresses. I would gladly work with a smaller law firm like his, that appreciates my business and has a personal touch, than a large law firm where you're a low priority, and hard to reach. He is trustworthy, efficient and proven results. No BS, just the guy to get it done.

James Silverstein is an amazing attorney. You are in good hands with this man. He delivered everything he said he would. I am forever grateful to him. A consummate professional and a very kind, thoughtful, experienced attorney. He's always available to address your concerns. It's been almost 2 years since he handled my case and I just realized I didn't write a richly deserved review. He's worth every penny. Thank you, Mr Silverstein!

I am beyond thankful for James! Let me start off by saying how genuine and attentive he is! No lawyer compares to him! He kept me away from jail time, misdemeanor, points etc. I did not need to take days off of work either! I highly recommend! Thank you again, James!
