I participated in a Mock Jury a few minutes ago with Mr. O and it was awesome. He laid out the case in very simple terms and let us talk it out and come to an agreement. No pressure on his end, no trying to change our minds. I would absolutely participate in another Mock Jury with him and I highly recommend this law firm.

It was 2008 and I had just been arrested for DUI. I was in a tough situation and didn't know what to do. I decided to fight the charges and at first went with a public defender. There is nothing wrong with public defenders but the reality is they are overworked and are probably not going to fight as hard as a paid lawyer. I even had difficulty having the public defender return phone calls. I knew at this point if I was going to have any chance I needed a skilled lawyer. But, I didn't know where to start and I must have called 20 lawyers and researched many websites. After all of the research I just felt more lost. I think a family member somehow obtained Okorie's information; I don't remember but I ended up calling him. After our conversation, I knew he was the lawyer I needed. Unfortunately, the legal process is long, slow, and stressful, but I knew I was in good hands. Most lawyers will just take your money and plead guilty for you but to be honest you could do that for free. It was a long fight but I was acquitted of DUI and had a charge that was also related to the DUI reduced to reckless driving. This was something that didn't ruin my future as much as a DUI charge would. Your results may vary and nothing can be guaranteed but ultimately you want a lawyer that will fight for you and help to ease the stress of your situation, and that lawyer is Okorie. Good luck with whatever you are dealing with and know that there is hope even when things seem hopeless.

Okorie Okorocha, in my view, has a unique ability among toxicologists due to his ability to convey the scientific evidence to a jury in a manner that is understandable to the average juror. He doesn't follow the government paid expert's unfortunate habit of too often drawing unwarranted conclusions and assumptions just to prove someone guilty. To the contrary, he pursues the truth, and the like the adage goes, "The truth is like a lion, you don't have to defend it. Let us loose. It will defend itself." Okorie Okorie is like the lion who sets the scientific truth free in a case. Since he is also lawyer, he also understands the interplay between the scientific evidence and the law better than others without such a dual background.

Mr. Okorocha represented me in a challenging civil matter. He clearly understood the many issues and people involved. His legal filings were intelligently written. His deposition skills and questions were flawless. He was also just a good person to work with. I would recommend his firm to anyone.

Mr. Okorocha handled my issue, a serious warrant for my arrest more than 20 years old with diligence, incredible convenience to me and expeditiously. I no longer reside in LA, haven?t for 23 years, have physical limitations making travel to LA difficult. He arranged for a WebEx hearing (my first such meeting) he went above and beyond coaching me through just how to even sign on. I shall be forever grateful and strongly recommend him to be a comprehensive litigator. Hopefully I shall never again require criminal defense, but, will turn to him for assistance. Again, Thank You.
