No one looks forward to having to defend themselves against a criminal charge but thankfully I found myself Mr. Kita and hired him because of a gun charge. Mr. Kita immediately put me at ease by walking me through the entire process start to finish including various scenarios of likely and unlikely outcomes. After understanding what I was up against I did not hesitate in retaining his services and am extremely happy I did. He immediately contacted the detective and scheduled an appointment with the DA's office. After a few months of going back and forth he was able to get the case completely dismissed. I was facing 2 felony convictions and this could have ruined my life. I wholeheartedly feel the only reason I received this outcome is because of Mr. Kita's experience and expertise. I can assure you if you are in need of a lawyer you can not go wrong hiring Mr. Kita. Thank you!

George Kita got my minor son's felony charges dismissed. I had previously hired an attorney who told me to have my son plead guilty to multiple felony charges which would have ruined my son's life. My elementary age son was arrested and questioned without being read his Miranda Rights. He was alone with police officers for hours and did not understand what was happening. During the hours of questioning, the police got what they interpreted as a confession. The previous attorney wanted my son to plead guilty because of the so-called confession. I refused and hired George Kita to replace him. It was the best decision I could have made. After countless hours of investigating, researching, and reviewing, Mr. Kita got all the charges dropped. My son is an honor student with a future, thanks to George Kita.

When I was arrested and had a court date assigned to me. I was anxious and scared. Mr Kita was just the opposite calm and confident. If I did not have him on my side well meaning friends and family would have me probably take my chances with public defender when I arrived in court. Mr Kita was able to get the case dropped weeks before my court date. Needless to say he helped me avoid 2 more weeks of extreme worry. Well worth hiring Mr Kita. Although I do not plan on letting something like this hapen again. I now keep his number in my phone and recommend him to anyone that asks

I was arrested for a significant issue, including battery on a police officer. Here's the kicker - I'm a retired police officer myself. So you can imagine how stressed and embarrased I was. I specifically sought out an attorney that had experience on both sides of the fence (prosecution & defense). I really consider finding Mr. Kita a blessing. This man cares! He realized this was an out-of-character incident where-in I experienced a momentary lapse in judgment. He helped me de-stress while strategizing an honest response to the courts; including my auto-biography. Mr. Kita convinced the court to allow me to attend an Anger Managment Diversion program that will result in case dismissal upon completion. I can't thank him enough and am hopeful this review will suffice and help others to find him. Thank you Mr. Kita!

I will forever be grateful to Mr. Kita! I found myself in legal trouble for the very first time in my life, and I was so scared. I consulted many attorneys, but none seemed to give me a good resolution, and some were very pricey!! But then I found Mr. George Kita, I explained to him my case, and he made me feel at ease, and was affordable! I was being charged with a serious felony with a possibility of doing prison time, and let me tell you if your case is out of the Long Beach courthouse? Then you better be ready for a fight! They don't care if it's your first time! They are very strict and the judge is by the book! So having Mr. Kita on my side and fighting for me was very crucial. Mr. Kita didn't just settle for anything, he was fighting for me to get the best outcome, and he DID he was able to get me the best deal! Not only did he get me no jail time, but the felony charge was dropped to a misdemeanor with 1 year of probation with no probation officer. After my year probation, I can have Mr. Kita expunge my record!! If you find yourself in a bad situation and need an attorney that will fight for you? Then hire Mr. Kita!!!

My words are not enough to express how thankful and grateful I am to Mr. Kita. My son had a serious charge in juvenile court. As a single mother I was worried and stressed for my son. Mr. Kita was able to meet with us and explained our options and was always caring and understanding towards my son. My son’s case went on for over a year and Mr. Kita kept us informed and guided us through the system. Even though the opposing party kept pursuing the worst outcome for my son, Mr. Kita kept fighting and defending my son with his legal expertise. Mr. Kita is a great lawyer and my son and I were blessed to have found him. The outcome was better than we could have imagined. My son is relieved and as a mother my heart is at peace and my son can smile again. Thank you, Mr. Kita.

I am so thankful to Mr. Kita. A family had a very serious charge in juvenile court. We contacted the offices of Mr. Kita on a last minute notice. Thankfully, we were able to meet with Mr. Kita. While reviewing the case, he was understanding yet upfront with our options. Our court appearances were prolonged but Mr. Kita kept defending our side. His expertise resulted in a sealed and dismissed outcome and we are so grateful. Mr. Kita was available to answer our concerns and also guided us to make sure we understood the legal process and made the best decisions for our family member. So grateful. Thank you, Mr. Kita.

When searching for a lawyer, we were only looking for the best of the best and didn't want to settle with a public defender. After looking online and reading reviews, George Kita was one of the best available so we hired him promptly. Over the course of ~two years of our case, Mr. Kita worked very quickly and intimately with us to keep us updated and ensure the best outcome possible. In fact, Mr. Kita was able to complete the very difficult job of dismissing the case in the interest of justice free of charge, which is much more than I could've asked for. One thing I respect about George is how professional he is; legal trouble is a very serious matter which requires a timely and professional individual. Although Mr. Kita has compassion, he doesn't sugarcoat things and tells you exactly what you need to know and what to do. Because of these things, there is no one I recommend more than Mr. Kita if you want to put your case in the past and move forward stress-free.

My son was facing a felony. It was the first time and God willing the last time my son was into any legal trouble. I’m glad I found Mr. George Kita who is very knowledgeable and professional. George is a great counselor too. My son's case is dismissed and his record is perfectly clean now. My family is very grateful to Mr. George Kita and we wish him the very best!
