A couple years ago, I learned the hard way that my rifle was not California legal (No bullet button), and I got arrested on two felonies. The sheriff, said he felt bad about the arrest, but that it was his job. He assured me that charges would certainly be dropped. A week later I got a letter from the DA confirming that they decided not to file charges, little did I know they could change their mind. A few months later, after relocating to another part of the state, they sent a new letter to my previous address. The letter was lost before reaching me, and I was not aware that I had charges to appear for. The court date passed, and with it came several unmarked black SUVs, black suits, detectives, sheriffs, dogs, etc. They all showed up at my moms house looking for me. They did not know my new address. My mom called me and put a detective on the line who said to turn myself in. I had a warrant out for my arrest, and there were no options to post bail. The DA changed there mind. I started panicking. I called some attorneys. All but one told me to turn myself in; every minute I waited, made things worse. I called Andrew last. When I told him what happened, he laughed. He even called me a sucker! Rest assured it was an appropriate response. To understand why, you have to know that I had previously called Andrew following the arrest. You see, in our previous call, I told Andrew that the detectives assured me charges wouldn’t be filed. Andrew was pretty blunt in that first call. He said the sheriff had only told me what I wanted to hear, so that I’d cooperate; the DA would almost certainly file the charges. He had offered to speak with the DAs office and potentially prevent the charges from being filed (for a fee). I said Id call back after taking some time to think. The morning after that first call, I received a letter from the DA, which read that no charges would be filed. I was unaware they could change their mind. Now that you know, why it was appropriate for him to laugh when I called him back, I can continue with the rest. Without an esquire, I would have been forced into a bad plea deal. Even with representation, I’d have a long difficult trial. Unlike other attorneys (who said to turn myself in ASAP), Andrew said to wait for him to call back and breathe some fresh air; he needed a little time to see what could be done. We spoke casually for almost an hour after that, about my new home in the mountains, then I waited for him to call back. A day or so later, he called and said that he could take the case. He was sure that if I retained him, I could maintain my right to have a fire arm, and there would be no jail time. A fine if any, would be minimal. He gave me a price to retain him up until a trial. The best part of the news, was that he secured a deal with the court about the warrant. If I posted bail for the two felonies, they’d drop the failure to appear and trash the warrant. I asked him if I could take some time to think about it all, and discuss the financial end of things with my family. He gave me 2 days, but explained that the deal wouldn’t be on the table much longer than that. I had to take it, or there wouldn’t be another. Those kinds of deals do not normally happen. After speaking with my mom, we both felt Andrew had some pull, and that I should retain him. I spoke with some other attorneys (who I was waiting to here from), and found that no other attorney could get that deal. In fact, no other attorney had any deals at all. The other attorneys wanted cash up front and told me to prepare for jail time, some even said they couldn’t do anything at all, referring me to the public defenders office. Long story short, I retained Andrew (with moms help), and posted bail. A few months later I walked out of court with a non violent misdemeanor, and no jail time. Andrew not only gave me hope when others did not, he also did exactly what he said he would. He’s an honorable man.
Mr. Wilensky is affordable, knowledgeable and will fight for you. He got my DUI tossed even though it didn't look good. He will fight for you and keep you posted on all updates. Hire him and thank me later.
In my opinion, this attorney likes to talk, but doesn't like to listen to the client. The client (who was paying the attorney's fees) rarely was able to speak or finish a sentence without being interrupted constantly. This attorney in several cases could not answer the client's questions pertinent to the case. This attorney was in several instances plain rude to the client. The client felt in many cases that the Attorney would not share with the client what ever he had found out with the defense in discovery. In the client's opinion, the attorney ill advised the client to plead in the case, even though the client provided ample conflicting information about the case which would have been pertinent in a jury trial. In the client's opinion, the attorney felt he spent enough time on the case for the fee charged and wanted the case ended.

In my opinion, this attorney likes to talk, but doesn't like to listen to the client. The client (who was paying the attorney's fees) rarely was able to speak or finish a sentence without being interrupted constantly. This attorney in several cases could not answer the client's questions pertinent to the case. This attorney was in several instances plain rude to the client. The client felt in many cases that the Attorney would not share with the client what ever he had found out with the defense in discovery. In the client's opinion, the attorney ill advised the client to plead in the case, even though the client provided ample conflicting information about the case which would have been pertinent in a jury trial. In the client's opinion, the attorney felt he spent enough time on the case for the fee charged and wanted the case ended.
A couple years ago, I learned the hard way that my rifle was not California legal (No bullet button), and I got arrested on two felonies. The sheriff, said he felt bad about the arrest, but that it was his job. He assured me that charges would certainly be dropped. A week later I got a letter from the DA confirming that they decided not to file charges, little did I know they could change their mind. A few months later, after relocating to another part of the state, they sent a new letter to my previous address. The letter was lost before reaching me, and I was not aware that I had charges to appear for. The court date passed, and with it came several unmarked black SUVs, black suits, detectives, sheriffs, dogs, etc. They all showed up at my moms house looking for me. They did not know my new address. My mom called me and put a detective on the line who said to turn myself in. I had a warrant out for my arrest, and there were no options to post bail. The DA changed there mind. I started panicking. I called some attorneys. All but one told me to turn myself in; every minute I waited, made things worse. I called Andrew last. When I told him what happened, he laughed. He even called me a sucker! Rest assured it was an appropriate response. To understand why, you have to know that I had previously called Andrew following the arrest. You see, in our previous call, I told Andrew that the detectives assured me charges wouldn’t be filed. Andrew was pretty blunt in that first call. He said the sheriff had only told me what I wanted to hear, so that I’d cooperate; the DA would almost certainly file the charges. He had offered to speak with the DAs office and potentially prevent the charges from being filed (for a fee). I said Id call back after taking some time to think. The morning after that first call, I received a letter from the DA, which read that no charges would be filed. I was unaware they could change their mind. Now that you know, why it was appropriate for him to laugh when I called him back, I can continue with the rest. Without an esquire, I would have been forced into a bad plea deal. Even with representation, I’d have a long difficult trial. Unlike other attorneys (who said to turn myself in ASAP), Andrew said to wait for him to call back and breathe some fresh air; he needed a little time to see what could be done. We spoke casually for almost an hour after that, about my new home in the mountains, then I waited for him to call back. A day or so later, he called and said that he could take the case. He was sure that if I retained him, I could maintain my right to have a fire arm, and there would be no jail time. A fine if any, would be minimal. He gave me a price to retain him up until a trial. The best part of the news, was that he secured a deal with the court about the warrant. If I posted bail for the two felonies, they’d drop the failure to appear and trash the warrant. I asked him if I could take some time to think about it all, and discuss the financial end of things with my family. He gave me 2 days, but explained that the deal wouldn’t be on the table much longer than that. I had to take it, or there wouldn’t be another. Those kinds of deals do not normally happen. After speaking with my mom, we both felt Andrew had some pull, and that I should retain him. I spoke with some other attorneys (who I was waiting to here from), and found that no other attorney could get that deal. In fact, no other attorney had any deals at all. The other attorneys wanted cash up front and told me to prepare for jail time, some even said they couldn’t do anything at all, referring me to the public defenders office. Long story short, I retained Andrew (with moms help), and posted bail. A few months later I walked out of court with a non violent misdemeanor, and no jail time. Andrew not only gave me hope when others did not, he also did exactly what he said he would. He’s an honorable man.

The other attorneys wanted cash up front and told me to prepare for jail time, some even said they couldn’t do anything at all, referring me to the public defenders office. Long story short, I retained Andrew (with moms help), and posted bail. A few months later I walked out of court with a non violent misdemeanor, and no jail time. Andrew not only gave me hope when others did not, he also did exactly what he said he would. He’s an honorable man.
Mr. Wilensky is affordable, knowledgeable and will fight for you. He got my DUI tossed even though it didn't look good. He will fight for you and keep you posted on all updates. Hire him and thank me later.
In my opinion, this attorney likes to talk, but doesn't like to listen to the client. The client (who was paying the attorney's fees) rarely was able to speak or finish a sentence without being interrupted constantly. This attorney in several cases could not answer the client's questions pertinent to the case. This attorney was in several instances plain rude to the client. The client felt in many cases that the Attorney would not share with the client what ever he had found out with the defense in discovery. In the client's opinion, the attorney ill advised the client to plead in the case, even though the client provided ample conflicting information about the case which would have been pertinent in a jury trial. In the client's opinion, the attorney felt he spent enough time on the case for the fee charged and wanted the case ended.
A couple years ago, I learned the hard way that my rifle was not California legal (No bullet button), and I got arrested on two felonies. The sheriff, said he felt bad about the arrest, but that it was his job. He assured me that charges would certainly be dropped. A week later I got a letter from the DA confirming that they decided not to file charges, little did I know they could change their mind. A few months later, after relocating to another part of the state, they sent a new letter to my previous address. The letter was lost before reaching me, and I was not aware that I had charges to appear for. The court date passed, and with it came several unmarked black SUVs, black suits, detectives, sheriffs, dogs, etc. They all showed up at my moms house looking for me. They did not know my new address. My mom called me and put a detective on the line who said to turn myself in. I had a warrant out for my arrest, and there were no options to post bail. The DA changed there mind. I started panicking. I called some attorneys. All but one told me to turn myself in; every minute I waited, made things worse. I called Andrew last. When I told him what happened, he laughed. He even called me a sucker! Rest assured it was an appropriate response. To understand why, you have to know that I had previously called Andrew following the arrest. You see, in our previous call, I told Andrew that the detectives assured me charges wouldn’t be filed. Andrew was pretty blunt in that first call. He said the sheriff had only told me what I wanted to hear, so that I’d cooperate; the DA would almost certainly file the charges. He had offered to speak with the DAs office and potentially prevent the charges from being filed (for a fee). I said Id call back after taking some time to think. The morning after that first call, I received a letter from the DA, which read that no charges would be filed. I was unaware they could change their mind. Now that you know, why it was appropriate for him to laugh when I called him back, I can continue with the rest. Without an esquire, I would have been forced into a bad plea deal. Even with representation, I’d have a long difficult trial. Unlike other attorneys (who said to turn myself in ASAP), Andrew said to wait for him to call back and breathe some fresh air; he needed a little time to see what could be done. We spoke casually for almost an hour after that, about my new home in the mountains, then I waited for him to call back. A day or so later, he called and said that he could take the case. He was sure that if I retained him, I could maintain my right to have a fire arm, and there would be no jail time. A fine if any, would be minimal. He gave me a price to retain him up until a trial. The best part of the news, was that he secured a deal with the court about the warrant. If I posted bail for the two felonies, they’d drop the failure to appear and trash the warrant. I asked him if I could take some time to think about it all, and discuss the financial end of things with my family. He gave me 2 days, but explained that the deal wouldn’t be on the table much longer than that. I had to take it, or there wouldn’t be another. Those kinds of deals do not normally happen.
