I come from a family of attorneys and Mr. Kestenbaum came highly recommended to my dad. He was the first lawyer we discussed the case with and found no need to look any further. He made me feel comfortable and confident, as this was my first time facing a criminal charge. He is a straight shooter, and did not sugarcoat the felony charge I was facing. But let me know that given the proper action by both he and I, the situation could most likely be resolved . He represented me very diligently, actually correcting the judge when he misread which count of the penal code I was charged with violating. He was impeccable in the court room, and had a great rapport with the staff, even the district attorney. He helped me personally by telling me what I needed to do outside the court to show that I was taking the initiative to fix my life. I complied with exactly what he said. With his expertise in the court and great personal advise my case was dismissed 9 months ahead of schedule. I was extremely happy with the outcome and his performance as my lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone.
Mr Kestenbaum and his firm quickly and aggressively pursued my case. Within 18 hours of my initial interview with his firm, he had already contacted the appropriate government legal and law enforcement officials. He and his firm were most responsive to all my requests for information and were very accommodating to me given that I live overseas. This lawyer establishes trust and confidence immediately. He provides you professional, non-biased feedback on the situation at hand, and works relentlessly to solve the issue. My case began as a felony. He worked to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor. Ultimately, the officials dismissed the case.
First and foremost thank you David for making my experience through all the legal proceedings flow smoothly and convenient for me as a client. If you are looking for a great DUI Attorney, David will go the lengths and dedicate his time to your case, you have come to the right place. David not only represented me a professional way, but took my case personal and it showed in the final Dismissal resolution of my DUI. If I was able to give 10 stars I would! Thank you David
From the beginning of my experience with David, he has delivered on his promises. I was cited for a DUI. He told me he knew everyone including the DA's at Van Nuys court from his decades of experience; it was amusing but true. David referred me to Anthony Scott for my DMV hearing and with his expertise, the DMV set aside my license suspension. David ensured me that this favorable result and his expertise would strengthen my case. Two months later, my DUI charge was dismissed to an ex. speed plea! I prayed such a significant reduction, and with David's magic, it became a reality. If you're in need of a DUI criminal defense attorney, look no further.
Mr. Kestenbaum has been my attorney, he is a very hard working and honest lawyer. He does not make promises he cannot keep and I am thankful he took my criminal case and vacated my charge. He always made things clear to me and explained every step of the way I put my trust in him and he did not let me down. I recommend him to anyone that seeks legal help, he has assisted a couple of friends and family members as well and has always assisted them to his full potential and we have had great outcomes. He has helped me tremendously And because of him I am now able to hopefully speed up my citizenship paperwork. He treated me as if I was his own family member. I will always recommend him and his team. Thank you David.
In my life time, the most important decision I have made was to hire David Kestenbaum law group to handle my Criminal case, the crime I did not commit I was wrongfully arrested by Los Angeles sheriff for using so called counterfeit money and changed by DA for misdemeanor, petty theft. I hired David Chesley law office to defend me, the attorney assigned to me missed two court appearances even though I went to court on two hearing, they kept telling me that DA did not file the case yet, till one day afternoon, the attorney called me to be in the court in 10min or my $20,000,00 bail would be forfeited, shortly, he called s back that the bail was forfeited. I started calling the law office seeking for help. Lorena with David Kestenbaum law group patiently listened to my story kept saying “ it did not sound right”, she said she would call the court to find out what was going. Lorena called back within 20 min that I was under court warrant for missing court days. She even guided me to go to court immediately. I went to court by myself, the judge told me that I would be in jail right-way. After hearing my story, judge told me that Chesley office filed wrong motion. Judge asked me to drop the David Chesley law office and assigned me a public defender to help me out off warrant. I was released on “ Own recognizance” Following day, I met David, Matt and Lorena. They took time to review the case and laid out plan to have DA drop charge. They fought hard for me. Matt went to court with me four times, he brought all the characters’ letters from the People who know me to DA, he went to bank with me to test the similar money I have and it was good money, he arranged secret service agents to test the money in the custody, the sheriff destroyed evidence, DA dropped the case, Matt successful asked judge to reinstate my $20000 cash bail, arranged sheriff to return all my properties and no delay on expungement. Not only did they provide me to the best legal service I could ever ask for, they gave me tremendous emotional and psychological support. Lorena called almost weekly to update me, comfort me. That is above and beyond. I highly recommend Davis Kestenbaum law group to whoever need criminal defense. This would be the most important decision and they will fight tooth and nail for the defendants.
I came into this office on a referral from a friend with a lot of fear and shame for the fact that I even needed a Criminal Attorney in the first place. David Kestenbaum and his assistant Lorena immediately took all those feeling away. Because of their calm compassionate demeanor and their knowledge of what I could be facing if charges were filed, I was able to take a breath and realize things aren't as bad as what I had built up in my head. A clear plan of action was laid out and set into motion. Fast forward a month later, I am lucky enough to say I have no charges being filed against me thanks to the Kestenbaum Law Group. They were diligent in their representation of me and I am forever grateful. On a side note, My incident happened in Ventura and I live in North Hollywood. I can't tell you how amazing it was to have someone close to home that knows the Ventura System and made appearances on my behalf. This referral was a blessing to me and I hope my review/referral will help someone else.
I was referred to David Kestenbaum by a friend after I was arrested for DUI. I met with David and from the very beginning he was honest and upfront about the situation and what the likely consequences were. Despite having a 0.16 BAC, David fought relentlessly for me and ultimately was able to get the charges reduced to a Wet Reckless, keeping my license and keeping my job at the same time. I would definitely recommend!
If anyone needs a criminal lawyer, David is your guy. He made sure my case didn't go to court. He was able to have the DA not file any charges which could have ruined my career. He was so lovely and reassuring and told me what to expect. I can not thank him. I can now live my life freely without worrying. Thank you David!!!
Well,...... First of all, 5 starts are not enough to express my experience with David.It is more like 200 Starts.... I was charged for "Hit and Run" and my 2nd DUI........ 2 years ago. I hired David and he made my problems go away, He is honest, hard working, and upfront about everything. I just had my court date last week that I was told that we were going to Trial, I was there on the Trial date. When he showed up, he had already made all of my problems go away.I was in shock.... No trial, and I just had to pay $750 fee to the court and walked out of court without doing any jail time.He is the one You need to hire. If you do not believe me, send me PM. If you are in Trouble, in 805 area code or near area, call David Kestenbaum.

He provides you professional, non-biased feedback on the situation at hand, and works relentlessly to solve the issue. My case began as a felony. He worked to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor. Ultimately, the officials dismissed the case.
First and foremost thank you David for making my experience through all the legal proceedings flow smoothly and convenient for me as a client. If you are looking for a great DUI Attorney, David will go the lengths and dedicate his time to your case, you have come to the right place. David not only represented me a professional way, but took my case personal and it showed in the final Dismissal resolution of my DUI. If I was able to give 10 stars I would! Thank you David
From the beginning of my experience with David, he has delivered on his promises. I was cited for a DUI. He told me he knew everyone including the DA's at Van Nuys court from his decades of experience; it was amusing but true. David referred me to Anthony Scott for my DMV hearing and with his expertise, the DMV set aside my license suspension. David ensured me that this favorable result and his expertise would strengthen my case. Two months later, my DUI charge was dismissed to an ex. speed plea! I prayed such a significant reduction, and with David's magic, it became a reality. If you're in need of a DUI criminal defense attorney, look no further.
Mr. Kestenbaum has been my attorney, he is a very hard working and honest lawyer. He does not make promises he cannot keep and I am thankful he took my criminal case and vacated my charge. He always made things clear to me and explained every step of the way I put my trust in him and he did not let me down. I recommend him to anyone that seeks legal help, he has assisted a couple of friends and family members as well and has always assisted them to his full potential and we have had great outcomes. He has helped me tremendously And because of him I am now able to hopefully speed up my citizenship paperwork. He treated me as if I was his own family member. I will always recommend him and his team. Thank you David.
In my life time, the most important decision I have made was to hire David Kestenbaum law group to handle my Criminal case, the crime I did not commit I was wrongfully arrested by Los Angeles sheriff for using so called counterfeit money and changed by DA for misdemeanor, petty theft. I hired David Chesley law office to defend me, the attorney assigned to me missed two court appearances even though I went to court on two hearing, they kept telling me that DA did not file the case yet, till one day afternoon, the attorney called me to be in the court in 10min or my $20,000,00 bail would be forfeited, shortly, he called s back that the bail was forfeited. I started calling the law office seeking for help. Lorena with David Kestenbaum law group patiently listened to my story kept saying “ it did not sound right”, she said she would call the court to find out what was going. Lorena called back within 20 min that I was under court warrant for missing court days. She even guided me to go to court immediately. I went to court by myself, the judge told me that I would be in jail right-way. After hearing my story, judge told me that Chesley office filed wrong motion. Judge asked me to drop the David Chesley law office and assigned me a public defender to help me out off warrant. I was released on “ Own recognizance” Following day, I met David, Matt and Lorena. They took time to review the case and laid out plan to have DA drop charge. They fought hard for me. Matt went to court with me four times, he brought all the characters’ letters from the People who know me to DA, he went to bank with me to test the similar money I have and it was good money, he arranged secret service agents to test the money in the custody, the sheriff destroyed evidence, DA dropped the case, Matt successful asked judge to reinstate my $20000 cash bail, arranged sheriff to return all my properties and no delay on expungement. Not only did they provide me to the best legal service I could ever ask for, they gave me tremendous emotional and psychological support. Lorena called almost weekly to update me, comfort me. That is above and beyond. I highly recommend Davis Kestenbaum law group to whoever need criminal defense. This would be the most important decision and they will fight tooth and nail for the defendants.
I came into this office on a referral from a friend with a lot of fear and shame for the fact that I even needed a Criminal Attorney in the first place. David Kestenbaum and his assistant Lorena immediately took all those feeling away. Because of their calm compassionate demeanor and their knowledge of what I could be facing if charges were filed, I was able to take a breath and realize things aren't as bad as what I had built up in my head. A clear plan of action was laid out and set into motion. Fast forward a month later, I am lucky enough to say I have no charges being filed against me thanks to the Kestenbaum Law Group. They were diligent in their representation of me and I am forever grateful. On a side note, My incident happened in Ventura and I live in North Hollywood. I can't tell you how amazing it was to have someone close to home that knows the Ventura System and made appearances on my behalf. This referral was a blessing to me and I hope my review/referral will help someone else.
I was referred to David Kestenbaum by a friend after I was arrested for DUI. I met with David and from the very beginning he was honest and upfront about the situation and what the likely consequences were. Despite having a 0.16 BAC, David fought relentlessly for me and ultimately was able to get the charges reduced to a Wet Reckless, keeping my license and keeping my job at the same time. I would definitely recommend!
If anyone needs a criminal lawyer, David is your guy. He made sure my case didn't go to court. He was able to have the DA not file any charges which could have ruined my career. He was so lovely and reassuring and told me what to expect. I can not thank him. I can now live my life freely without worrying. Thank you David!!!
Well,...... First of all, 5 starts are not enough to express my experience with David.It is more like 200 Starts.... I was charged for "Hit and Run" and my 2nd DUI........ 2 years ago. I hired David and he made my problems go away, He is honest, hard working, and upfront about everything. I just had my court date last week that I was told that we were going to Trial, I was there on the Trial date. When he showed up, he had already made all of my problems go away.I was in shock.... No trial, and I just had to pay $750 fee to the court and walked out of court without doing any jail time.He is the one You need to hire. If you do not believe me, send me PM. If you are in Trouble, in 805 area code or near area, call David Kestenbaum.
I come from a family of attorneys and Mr. Kestenbaum came highly recommended to my dad. He was the first lawyer we discussed the case with and found no need to look any further. He made me feel comfortable and confident, as this was my first time facing a criminal charge. He is a straight shooter, and did not sugarcoat the felony charge I was facing. But let me know that given the proper action by both he and I, the situation could most likely be resolved . He represented me very diligently, actually correcting the judge when he misread which count of the penal code I was charged with violating. He was impeccable in the court room, and had a great rapport with the staff, even the district attorney. He helped me personally by telling me what I needed to do outside the court to show that I was taking the initiative to fix my life. I complied with exactly what he said. With his expertise in the court and great personal advise my case was dismissed 9 months ahead of schedule. I was extremely happy with the outcome and his performance as my lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone.
Mr Kestenbaum and his firm quickly and aggressively pursued my case.

He has helped me tremendously And because of him I am now able to hopefully speed up my citizenship paperwork. He treated me as if I was his own family member. I will always recommend him and his team. Thank you David.
In my life time, the most important decision I have made was to hire David Kestenbaum law group to handle my Criminal case, the crime I did not commit I was wrongfully arrested by Los Angeles sheriff for using so called counterfeit money and changed by DA for misdemeanor, petty theft. I hired David Chesley law office to defend me, the attorney assigned to me missed two court appearances even though I went to court on two hearing, they kept telling me that DA did not file the case yet, till one day afternoon, the attorney called me to be in the court in 10min or my $20,000,00 bail would be forfeited, shortly, he called s back that the bail was forfeited. I started calling the law office seeking for help. Lorena with David Kestenbaum law group patiently listened to my story kept saying “ it did not sound right”, she said she would call the court to find out what was going. Lorena called back within 20 min that I was under court warrant for missing court days. She even guided me to go to court immediately. I went to court by myself, the judge told me that I would be in jail right-way. After hearing my story, judge told me that Chesley office filed wrong motion. Judge asked me to drop the David Chesley law office and assigned me a public defender to help me out off warrant. I was released on “ Own recognizance” Following day, I met David, Matt and Lorena. They took time to review the case and laid out plan to have DA drop charge. They fought hard for me. Matt went to court with me four times, he brought all the characters’ letters from the People who know me to DA, he went to bank with me to test the similar money I have and it was good money, he arranged secret service agents to test the money in the custody, the sheriff destroyed evidence, DA dropped the case, Matt successful asked judge to reinstate my $20000 cash bail, arranged sheriff to return all my properties and no delay on expungement. Not only did they provide me to the best legal service I could ever ask for, they gave me tremendous emotional and psychological support. Lorena called almost weekly to update me, comfort me. That is above and beyond. I highly recommend Davis Kestenbaum law group to whoever need criminal defense. This would be the most important decision and they will fight tooth and nail for the defendants.
I came into this office on a referral from a friend with a lot of fear and shame for the fact that I even needed a Criminal Attorney in the first place. David Kestenbaum and his assistant Lorena immediately took all those feeling away. Because of their calm compassionate demeanor and their knowledge of what I could be facing if charges were filed, I was able to take a breath and realize things aren't as bad as what I had built up in my head. A clear plan of action was laid out and set into motion. Fast forward a month later, I am lucky enough to say I have no charges being filed against me thanks to the Kestenbaum Law Group. They were diligent in their representation of me and I am forever grateful. On a side note, My incident happened in Ventura and I live in North Hollywood. I can't tell you how amazing it was to have someone close to home that knows the Ventura System and made appearances on my behalf. This referral was a blessing to me and I hope my review/referral will help someone else.
I was referred to David Kestenbaum by a friend after I was arrested for DUI. I met with David and from the very beginning he was honest and upfront about the situation and what the likely consequences were. Despite having a 0.16 BAC, David fought relentlessly for me and ultimately was able to get the charges reduced to a Wet Reckless, keeping my license and keeping my job at the same time. I would definitely recommend!
If anyone needs a criminal lawyer, David is your guy. He made sure my case didn't go to court. He was able to have the DA not file any charges which could have ruined my career. He was so lovely and reassuring and told me what to expect. I can not thank him. I can now live my life freely without worrying. Thank you David!!!
Well,...... First of all, 5 starts are not enough to express my experience with David.It is more like 200 Starts.... I was charged for "Hit and Run" and my 2nd DUI........ 2 years ago. I hired David and he made my problems go away, He is honest, hard working, and upfront about everything. I just had my court date last week that I was told that we were going to Trial, I was there on the Trial date. When he showed up, he had already made all of my problems go away.I was in shock.... No trial, and I just had to pay $750 fee to the court and walked out of court without doing any jail time.He is the one You need to hire. If you do not believe me, send me PM. If you are in Trouble, in 805 area code or near area, call David Kestenbaum.
I come from a family of attorneys and Mr. Kestenbaum came highly recommended to my dad. He was the first lawyer we discussed the case with and found no need to look any further. He made me feel comfortable and confident, as this was my first time facing a criminal charge. He is a straight shooter, and did not sugarcoat the felony charge I was facing. But let me know that given the proper action by both he and I, the situation could most likely be resolved . He represented me very diligently, actually correcting the judge when he misread which count of the penal code I was charged with violating. He was impeccable in the court room, and had a great rapport with the staff, even the district attorney. He helped me personally by telling me what I needed to do outside the court to show that I was taking the initiative to fix my life. I complied with exactly what he said. With his expertise in the court and great personal advise my case was dismissed 9 months ahead of schedule. I was extremely happy with the outcome and his performance as my lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone.
Mr Kestenbaum and his firm quickly and aggressively pursued my case. Within 18 hours of my initial interview with his firm, he had already contacted the appropriate government legal and law enforcement officials. He and his firm were most responsive to all my requests for information and were very accommodating to me given that I live overseas. This lawyer establishes trust and confidence immediately. He provides you professional, non-biased feedback on the situation at hand, and works relentlessly to solve the issue. My case began as a felony. He worked to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor. Ultimately, the officials dismissed the case.
First and foremost thank you David for making my experience through all the legal proceedings flow smoothly and convenient for me as a client. If you are looking for a great DUI Attorney, David will go the lengths and dedicate his time to your case, you have come to the right place. David not only represented me a professional way, but took my case personal and it showed in the final Dismissal resolution of my DUI. If I was able to give 10 stars I would! Thank you David
From the beginning of my experience with David, he has delivered on his promises. I was cited for a DUI. He told me he knew everyone including the DA's at Van Nuys court from his decades of experience; it was amusing but true. David referred me to Anthony Scott for my DMV hearing and with his expertise, the DMV set aside my license suspension. David ensured me that this favorable result and his expertise would strengthen my case. Two months later, my DUI charge was dismissed to an ex. speed plea! I prayed such a significant reduction, and with David's magic, it became a reality. If you're in need of a DUI criminal defense attorney, look no further.
Mr. Kestenbaum has been my attorney, he is a very hard working and honest lawyer. He does not make promises he cannot keep and I am thankful he took my criminal case and vacated my charge. He always made things clear to me and explained every step of the way I put my trust in him and he did not let me down. I recommend him to anyone that seeks legal help, he has assisted a couple of friends and family members as well and has always assisted them to his full potential and we have had great outcomes.

Matt went to court with me four times, he brought all the characters’ letters from the People who know me to DA, he went to bank with me to test the similar money I have and it was good money, he arranged secret service agents to test the money in the custody, the sheriff destroyed evidence, DA dropped the case, Matt successful asked judge to reinstate my $20000 cash bail, arranged sheriff to return all my properties and no delay on expungement. Not only did they provide me to the best legal service I could ever ask for, they gave me tremendous emotional and psychological support. Lorena called almost weekly to update me, comfort me. That is above and beyond. I highly recommend Davis Kestenbaum law group to whoever need criminal defense. This would be the most important decision and they will fight tooth and nail for the defendants.
I came into this office on a referral from a friend with a lot of fear and shame for the fact that I even needed a Criminal Attorney in the first place. David Kestenbaum and his assistant Lorena immediately took all those feeling away. Because of their calm compassionate demeanor and their knowledge of what I could be facing if charges were filed, I was able to take a breath and realize things aren't as bad as what I had built up in my head. A clear plan of action was laid out and set into motion. Fast forward a month later, I am lucky enough to say I have no charges being filed against me thanks to the Kestenbaum Law Group. They were diligent in their representation of me and I am forever grateful. On a side note, My incident happened in Ventura and I live in North Hollywood. I can't tell you how amazing it was to have someone close to home that knows the Ventura System and made appearances on my behalf. This referral was a blessing to me and I hope my review/referral will help someone else.
I was referred to David Kestenbaum by a friend after I was arrested for DUI. I met with David and from the very beginning he was honest and upfront about the situation and what the likely consequences were. Despite having a 0.16 BAC, David fought relentlessly for me and ultimately was able to get the charges reduced to a Wet Reckless, keeping my license and keeping my job at the same time. I would definitely recommend!
If anyone needs a criminal lawyer, David is your guy. He made sure my case didn't go to court. He was able to have the DA not file any charges which could have ruined my career. He was so lovely and reassuring and told me what to expect. I can not thank him. I can now live my life freely without worrying. Thank you David!!!
Well,...... First of all, 5 starts are not enough to express my experience with David.It is more like 200 Starts.... I was charged for "Hit and Run" and my 2nd DUI........ 2 years ago. I hired David and he made my problems go away, He is honest, hard working, and upfront about everything. I just had my court date last week that I was told that we were going to Trial, I was there on the Trial date. When he showed up, he had already made all of my problems go away.I was in shock.... No trial, and I just had to pay $750 fee to the court and walked out of court without doing any jail time.He is the one You need to hire. If you do not believe me, send me PM. If you are in Trouble, in 805 area code or near area, call David Kestenbaum.
I come from a family of attorneys and Mr. Kestenbaum came highly recommended to my dad. He was the first lawyer we discussed the case with and found no need to look any further. He made me feel comfortable and confident, as this was my first time facing a criminal charge. He is a straight shooter, and did not sugarcoat the felony charge I was facing. But let me know that given the proper action by both he and I, the situation could most likely be resolved . He represented me very diligently, actually correcting the judge when he misread which count of the penal code I was charged with violating. He was impeccable in the court room, and had a great rapport with the staff, even the district attorney. He helped me personally by telling me what I needed to do outside the court to show that I was taking the initiative to fix my life. I complied with exactly what he said. With his expertise in the court and great personal advise my case was dismissed 9 months ahead of schedule. I was extremely happy with the outcome and his performance as my lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone.
Mr Kestenbaum and his firm quickly and aggressively pursued my case. Within 18 hours of my initial interview with his firm, he had already contacted the appropriate government legal and law enforcement officials. He and his firm were most responsive to all my requests for information and were very accommodating to me given that I live overseas. This lawyer establishes trust and confidence immediately. He provides you professional, non-biased feedback on the situation at hand, and works relentlessly to solve the issue. My case began as a felony. He worked to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor. Ultimately, the officials dismissed the case.
First and foremost thank you David for making my experience through all the legal proceedings flow smoothly and convenient for me as a client. If you are looking for a great DUI Attorney, David will go the lengths and dedicate his time to your case, you have come to the right place. David not only represented me a professional way, but took my case personal and it showed in the final Dismissal resolution of my DUI. If I was able to give 10 stars I would! Thank you David
From the beginning of my experience with David, he has delivered on his promises. I was cited for a DUI. He told me he knew everyone including the DA's at Van Nuys court from his decades of experience; it was amusing but true. David referred me to Anthony Scott for my DMV hearing and with his expertise, the DMV set aside my license suspension. David ensured me that this favorable result and his expertise would strengthen my case. Two months later, my DUI charge was dismissed to an ex. speed plea! I prayed such a significant reduction, and with David's magic, it became a reality. If you're in need of a DUI criminal defense attorney, look no further.
Mr. Kestenbaum has been my attorney, he is a very hard working and honest lawyer. He does not make promises he cannot keep and I am thankful he took my criminal case and vacated my charge. He always made things clear to me and explained every step of the way I put my trust in him and he did not let me down. I recommend him to anyone that seeks legal help, he has assisted a couple of friends and family members as well and has always assisted them to his full potential and we have had great outcomes. He has helped me tremendously And because of him I am now able to hopefully speed up my citizenship paperwork. He treated me as if I was his own family member. I will always recommend him and his team. Thank you David.
In my life time, the most important decision I have made was to hire David Kestenbaum law group to handle my Criminal case, the crime I did not commit I was wrongfully arrested by Los Angeles sheriff for using so called counterfeit money and changed by DA for misdemeanor, petty theft. I hired David Chesley law office to defend me, the attorney assigned to me missed two court appearances even though I went to court on two hearing, they kept telling me that DA did not file the case yet, till one day afternoon, the attorney called me to be in the court in 10min or my $20,000,00 bail would be forfeited, shortly, he called s back that the bail was forfeited. I started calling the law office seeking for help. Lorena with David Kestenbaum law group patiently listened to my story kept saying “ it did not sound right”, she said she would call the court to find out what was going. Lorena called back within 20 min that I was under court warrant for missing court days. She even guided me to go to court immediately. I went to court by myself, the judge told me that I would be in jail right-way. After hearing my story, judge told me that Chesley office filed wrong motion. Judge asked me to drop the David Chesley law office and assigned me a public defender to help me out off warrant. I was released on “ Own recognizance” Following day, I met David, Matt and Lorena.

I was referred to David Kestenbaum by a friend after I was arrested for DUI. I met with David and from the very beginning he was honest and upfront about the situation and what the likely consequences were. Despite having a 0.16 BAC, David fought relentlessly for me and ultimately was able to get the charges reduced to a Wet Reckless, keeping my license and keeping my job at the same time. I would definitely recommend!
If anyone needs a criminal lawyer, David is your guy. He made sure my case didn't go to court. He was able to have the DA not file any charges which could have ruined my career. He was so lovely and reassuring and told me what to expect. I can not thank him. I can now live my life freely without worrying. Thank you David!!!
Well,...... First of all, 5 starts are not enough to express my experience with David.It is more like 200 Starts.... I was charged for "Hit and Run" and my 2nd DUI........ 2 years ago. I hired David and he made my problems go away, He is honest, hard working, and upfront about everything. I just had my court date last week that I was told that we were going to Trial, I was there on the Trial date. When he showed up, he had already made all of my problems go away.I was in shock.... No trial, and I just had to pay $750 fee to the court and walked out of court without doing any jail time.He is the one You need to hire. If you do not believe me, send me PM. If you are in Trouble, in 805 area code or near area, call David Kestenbaum.
I come from a family of attorneys and Mr. Kestenbaum came highly recommended to my dad. He was the first lawyer we discussed the case with and found no need to look any further. He made me feel comfortable and confident, as this was my first time facing a criminal charge. He is a straight shooter, and did not sugarcoat the felony charge I was facing. But let me know that given the proper action by both he and I, the situation could most likely be resolved . He represented me very diligently, actually correcting the judge when he misread which count of the penal code I was charged with violating. He was impeccable in the court room, and had a great rapport with the staff, even the district attorney. He helped me personally by telling me what I needed to do outside the court to show that I was taking the initiative to fix my life. I complied with exactly what he said. With his expertise in the court and great personal advise my case was dismissed 9 months ahead of schedule. I was extremely happy with the outcome and his performance as my lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone.
Mr Kestenbaum and his firm quickly and aggressively pursued my case. Within 18 hours of my initial interview with his firm, he had already contacted the appropriate government legal and law enforcement officials. He and his firm were most responsive to all my requests for information and were very accommodating to me given that I live overseas. This lawyer establishes trust and confidence immediately. He provides you professional, non-biased feedback on the situation at hand, and works relentlessly to solve the issue. My case began as a felony. He worked to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor. Ultimately, the officials dismissed the case.
First and foremost thank you David for making my experience through all the legal proceedings flow smoothly and convenient for me as a client. If you are looking for a great DUI Attorney, David will go the lengths and dedicate his time to your case, you have come to the right place. David not only represented me a professional way, but took my case personal and it showed in the final Dismissal resolution of my DUI. If I was able to give 10 stars I would! Thank you David
From the beginning of my experience with David, he has delivered on his promises. I was cited for a DUI. He told me he knew everyone including the DA's at Van Nuys court from his decades of experience; it was amusing but true. David referred me to Anthony Scott for my DMV hearing and with his expertise, the DMV set aside my license suspension. David ensured me that this favorable result and his expertise would strengthen my case. Two months later, my DUI charge was dismissed to an ex. speed plea! I prayed such a significant reduction, and with David's magic, it became a reality. If you're in need of a DUI criminal defense attorney, look no further.
Mr. Kestenbaum has been my attorney, he is a very hard working and honest lawyer. He does not make promises he cannot keep and I am thankful he took my criminal case and vacated my charge. He always made things clear to me and explained every step of the way I put my trust in him and he did not let me down. I recommend him to anyone that seeks legal help, he has assisted a couple of friends and family members as well and has always assisted them to his full potential and we have had great outcomes. He has helped me tremendously And because of him I am now able to hopefully speed up my citizenship paperwork. He treated me as if I was his own family member. I will always recommend him and his team. Thank you David.
In my life time, the most important decision I have made was to hire David Kestenbaum law group to handle my Criminal case, the crime I did not commit I was wrongfully arrested by Los Angeles sheriff for using so called counterfeit money and changed by DA for misdemeanor, petty theft. I hired David Chesley law office to defend me, the attorney assigned to me missed two court appearances even though I went to court on two hearing, they kept telling me that DA did not file the case yet, till one day afternoon, the attorney called me to be in the court in 10min or my $20,000,00 bail would be forfeited, shortly, he called s back that the bail was forfeited. I started calling the law office seeking for help. Lorena with David Kestenbaum law group patiently listened to my story kept saying “ it did not sound right”, she said she would call the court to find out what was going. Lorena called back within 20 min that I was under court warrant for missing court days. She even guided me to go to court immediately. I went to court by myself, the judge told me that I would be in jail right-way. After hearing my story, judge told me that Chesley office filed wrong motion. Judge asked me to drop the David Chesley law office and assigned me a public defender to help me out off warrant. I was released on “ Own recognizance” Following day, I met David, Matt and Lorena. They took time to review the case and laid out plan to have DA drop charge. They fought hard for me. Matt went to court with me four times, he brought all the characters’ letters from the People who know me to DA, he went to bank with me to test the similar money I have and it was good money, he arranged secret service agents to test the money in the custody, the sheriff destroyed evidence, DA dropped the case, Matt successful asked judge to reinstate my $20000 cash bail, arranged sheriff to return all my properties and no delay on expungement. Not only did they provide me to the best legal service I could ever ask for, they gave me tremendous emotional and psychological support. Lorena called almost weekly to update me, comfort me. That is above and beyond. I highly recommend Davis Kestenbaum law group to whoever need criminal defense. This would be the most important decision and they will fight tooth and nail for the defendants.
I came into this office on a referral from a friend with a lot of fear and shame for the fact that I even needed a Criminal Attorney in the first place. David Kestenbaum and his assistant Lorena immediately took all those feeling away. Because of their calm compassionate demeanor and their knowledge of what I could be facing if charges were filed, I was able to take a breath and realize things aren't as bad as what I had built up in my head. A clear plan of action was laid out and set into motion. Fast forward a month later, I am lucky enough to say I have no charges being filed against me thanks to the Kestenbaum Law Group. They were diligent in their representation of me and I am forever grateful. On a side note, My incident happened in Ventura and I live in North Hollywood. I can't tell you how amazing it was to have someone close to home that knows the Ventura System and made appearances on my behalf. This referral was a blessing to me and I hope my review/referral will help someone else.
