Calabasas Criminal Defense Law Firm

I could not have asked for a more professional, compassionate or trustworthy advocate! James helped my family though a scary situation we never in a million years thought we could be in.

He is quick to respond to phone calls and text and explains everything in detail so my family understood exactly what was going!

We saw results and felt he worked hard for us!

I highly recommend using James to represent my family and friends if we should need a lawyer in the future!!!

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.

Well if I can give him 10 stars for everything I would say it's not enough.

I met James through a tough time and I was really worried. I still remember his words to me " you will be fine, I will take care of you trust me "

He will walk a thousand mile for you. He was there for me even when he was on a vacation. I called him once crying and he was worried about me and kept calling and checking on me while he was on a vacation. No one would do that to you but a family member and he is a family member to all of his clients.

There are not enough words to describe his outstanding service and knowledge. If you ever need a criminal defense attorney James Silverstein is the best and only one.

Thank you James for saving my life.

Top Criminal Attorney Mr. Silverstein is a top criminal attorney. He is knowledgeable and knows the criminal law to the best. When I met him for the first time he knew how to approach my case and was able to dismiss it without any records in place.


He is very professional and supportive. He was present at all of my hearings and the judges respect him a lot. His staff are very professional and supportive. He responded to all my calls and emails on time.


I highly recommend him to any one who has a case without any reservations.

I can't say enough great things about James Silverstein. He is both experienced and an expert in Criminal Law, and he came highly recommended by an attorney friend of mine. I retained him on a traffic case, and he made himself available before our 1st meeting to answer all of my questions over the phone (on a weekend). Then at our meeting, he listened carefully to everything I had to say about the case (I was pretty emotional), then he explained thoroughly about his experience with similar cases in the past, and was very honest about the possibilities of what COULD happen in situations like these. At the same time, he reassured me that he will do whatever it takes to fight the case. And HE DID! He got me out of a case, and I owe him my life! James is very good about following up on new developments, and giving the best advice on how to win a case. His assistants always made sure to return my calls if I had any questions/concerns, and I was continually impressed with the level of professionalism and service they provided. If you are looking for an attorney who can help, I highly recommend James Silverstein. He will and can help!

hired James Silverstein as my attorney and it was one of the smartest decisions i had ever made. His professionalism , and dedication to service ones needs is irreplaceable!!.I really enjoyed working with him and he was so responsive to all of my needs. He was always very attentive, and provided great service.Turned my case into a simple pat on the hand, and sionara!!!Thanks you james for making things so easy!!!

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!

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.
