Due to poor judgement and some bad luck, I found myself in need of a lawyer. I interviewed three criminal defense lawyers and ended up hiring Ms. Chudnovsky because of her experience and the vibe she gave me when we spoke. I was arrested for a felony charge and Tsion let me know that early intervention with the prosecutor could make a difference. Sure enough, she was able to get the DA to file it as a misdemeanor charge. She gave me her cell number and whenever I reached out, she always got back to me promptly. When I appeared with her in Glendale court house, it was clear she had good relations with the DA and judge. I felt protected and that she knows how to get through the system. After I complete my community service hours, the entire case will be dismissed with no criminal record or jail time. Thank you Tsion and Chudnovsky Law staff for really coming through!! I don't think I could ask for a better outcome given what went down.

Attorney Kareem Aref is very passionate about his work and it shows. In my felony case he went above and beyond in the work he put in and dedication he showed to not give up until he obtained an excellent result. And he delivered in spades. My money was well spent and I am thankful for his hard work. I don't plan on getting in trouble again, but if I do Kareem will be my first call.

This firm handled a very serious case for my son with a very scary possible prison sentence. I could not ask for better attorneys than Suzanne and Nicole. They saved my boys life from going down the drain. And they always treated him with true humanity and gave us all the emotional support we needed. My whole family thanks them from the bottom of our hearts.

I reached out to Nicole for help with a Van Nuys misdemeanor case. She was responsive and very professional. In the end she figured out how to get the charge dropped. I definitely recommend her.

Thank you attorney Nicole Enyart for taking my felony case at the last minute. She was always there for me 100% through some tough times. Communication was timely and professional. Knowledge and skill top notch. The DAs and judges at Clara Shortridge love her. And she's an amazing human being you can feel comfortable entrusting your life with.

Attorney Robert Weinberg did an outstanding job resolving a nursing RN license DUI case for me during covid in Metropolitan court. He's a very friendly, honest man that knows what he's doing. Both he and his staff are bona fide professionals.

I can only say positive things about Robert Weinberg and Chudnovsky Law. Fred and Heidi were also very helpful. I interviewed several professional license defense lawyers and Robert and his team made it clear they really cared about me and protecting my nursing license and career. They put a lot of work into my case and always kept me up to date and returned my calls. I could not be more pleased in how they resolved my case and helped me get through this very scary period. I recommend them to any nurse or medical license professional that need an expert lawyer.

Attorney Tsion Chudnovsky took great care of me and my family. I needed her help with a criminal charge and she was very responsive on a holiday weekend. After reviewing everything, she laid out a clear plan of action and executed it flawlessly. We got the results I hoped for. Unlike other attorneys I have spoken with, Tsion is very responsive and thoroughly answered my questions in a clear way I could understand. And she was great at calming me down at a very scary time. She did everything she said she would do and in the end delivered awesome news. I am grateful she was my lawyer. She knows all the right people and really knows how to protect you. In the end she got the prosecutor to reject my case and not file the charges! Go see her if you need a true pro.

I would recommend Tsion Chudnovsky and her firm to anyone. Tsion was referred to me by a trusted friend in law enforcement. From the start she put me at ease and explained the process and likely strategies she would use. She over delivered and achieved the best case scenario I could have hoped for. I can't thank Tsion and her team enough for their support and skillful resolution of my case.
