"After meeting in her office, I was impressed with Nicole Enyart and decided to hire her and her team for my felony domestic violence case. After reviewing the details, Nicole explained what she would do and how she was likely to fight the charge. She was very professional and easy to talk with. She also was familiar with the Santa Barbara DA likely to handle my case. I was pleasantly surprised when she was able to convince the prosecutor to dismiss the case pretty quickly based on a variety of serious flaws in the case. I found Nicole to be personable, enjoyable to work with, and very skilled at defending criminal cases. I can highly recommend her!"

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2021After meeting in her office, I was impressed with Nicole Enyart and decided to hire her and her team for my felony domestic violence case. After reviewing the details, Nicole explained what she would do and how she was likely to fight the charge. She was very professional and easy to talk with. She also was familiar with the Santa Barbara DA likely to handle my case. I was pleasantly surprised when she was able to convince the prosecutor to dismiss the case pretty quickly based on a variety of serious flaws in the case. I found Nicole to be personable, enjoyable to work with, and very skilled at defending criminal cases. I can highly recommend her!

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2022My experience with attorneys Tsion Chudnovsky and Nicole Enyart has been a very positive one. I'm an international student from England and I got charged with a DUI that caused my F1 visa to be revoked. They've been instrumental in helping me sort out this tricky situation. Thank you Nicole and Tsion for making sure I can finish my degree at UCSB! This has been a real eye-opener...

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2021I can't speak highly enough about Melissa's representation during a Nursing Board complaint investigation. After months of back and forth, I just received a BRN letter notifying me that the complaint has been closed without any kind of discipline against my RN license. What a relief!! And I credit Melissa Duchene's diligent work for making that happen. I highly recommend her for any nurse license issues. She's a real lifesaver!

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2022Chudnovsky Law is amazing! It was so simple to get my case handled with them. I called on January 5th and by February 9th everything was completed. I live over a 5 hour drive away from Santa Barbara and they took care of everything for me by phone and email. It was super fast and easy and I highly recommend them for any legal matter! Thank you Tsion and Nicole ๐
