Free · confidential · with Aaron
The first conversation is free, confidential, and with Aaron — not an intake service. You will leave it knowing what you are facing, what happens next, and the flat fee in writing.
What you’re facing
These are the things people actually say on the first call. Each has an answer, and none of them require you to have decided anything yet.
That is normal, and it is what the case review is for. Bring what you have — the citation, the paperwork, your own account — and you will leave the first call knowing what you are facing and what happens next.
No. You have the right to remain silent and the right to counsel, and using them is not evidence of anything. Let a defense attorney deal with investigators so you do not have to.
The fee is flat and fixed in writing before anything is filed, and the strategy is agreed with you rather than presented to you. You know the number and the plan at the start.
Why this firm
The lawyers you speak to on the phone are the lawyers who stand up in court. There is no intake centre between you and your representation, and no unknown associate you have never met.
The first conversation is with Aaron. Four people work your file and you will know all of them by name — the same team from the first call through to resolution.
No family law, no personal injury, no side practice. Over fifteen years spent in Los Angeles County courtrooms on criminal matters and nothing else.
You know the number and the plan at the start. The strategy is agreed with you rather than presented to you, and nothing is agreed on your behalf without your say-so.
The line is answered 24/7, and written case reviews are answered within one business hour between 8am and 10pm, seven days a week.
If you call today
From the first call to the last hearing you always know what is happening, why, and exactly where you stand.
Send the case review or call the line. The team who will argue your case is the team you speak to — not an intake service.
The charge is assessed, your exposure explained plainly and every option set out — including the ones that need no lawyer at all.
Reports, body-cam, priors and procedure read in full. Strategy and a flat fee confirmed in writing before anything is filed.
Motions, negotiation or trial — whichever the record supports. Nothing is agreed on your behalf without your say-so first.

Avvo review · November 2024
“Not only did he take me under his wing IMMEDIATELY and without hesitation after hearing my situation, he didn’t judge me, he was quick, and was the 1st attorney out of dozens whom I called, that didn’t interrupt me nor put me on the backburner.”
Christian — hired attorney
Avvo review · November 2021
“You can tell Aaron cares about his clients and will fight tooth and nail to get the best result. He explores every avenue in a defense looking for motions to file. I’m an attorney myself, Los Angeles native, and if any of my family members need help, I would trust them in Aaron’s hands.”
Givelle Lamano — criminal defense lawyer

Common questions
Yes. The first conversation costs nothing, is confidential, and creates no obligation. Submitting the form does not create an attorney–client relationship, but the conversation is confidential either way.
The line is answered 24/7. Written case reviews are answered within one business hour between 8am and 10pm, seven days a week.
Los Angeles County Superior Court, all districts.
The pre-filing window is often the most valuable time in a case. What is presented to the prosecutor before the filing decision can shape whether and what they file.
The practice is Los Angeles County Superior Court, all districts. If your matter sits outside that, say so on the first call and you will get a straight answer either way.
Whatever you already have — citation or booking paperwork, report number, any court date, and your own written account. Nothing is required to have the conversation.
