Verified ClientHired Law firm 2024Givelle and her legal team got me out of a super difficult situation. I would highly recommend her and her team for anyone in California that needs a criminal defense attorney that actually cares about your case.

Hired Law firm 2025This was the worst law office. The lawyers were all rude, pretentious and arrogant. Their billing practices were fraudulent. I don’t recommend them. Chose another office.
