I found myself involved in a sophisticated gambling indictment involving 22 people. Having this been my first incident with the law, I was very nervous and scared about what might happen. Thankfully, a friend referred me to attorney Hamilton Arendsen. Hamilton is a former federal prosecutor for the Southern District of California in San Diego and specializes in federal cases. He knew the federal system inside and out, knew all the prosecutors on my case, and did an excellent job explaining everything to me. Over the course of the case, he and his colleague were in frequent contact with me, always returned my calls promptly, and assured me that everything would be all right. They kept my stress level down and told me not to worry about the case and let them worry about it. Hearing that made life better for me. Hamilton was able to negotiate me a very good deal and the one I was looking for. I didn't have to do any custody and paid a very minimal fine, especially compared to the rest of the defendants, who had similar charges. Since I was possibly facing a 24-month prison sentence, I am extremely happy with the results. In the future, I will definitely refer anyone dealing with a criminal issue, particularly federal, to Hamilton and those he works with. Because of his negotiating skills and federal criminal experience, I have been able to start a new life. For that I am forever grateful. Thank you very much!

Hamilton Andersen recently handled a multistate business litigation matter for our company. I consider Hamilton to be an outstanding attorney, not just because he has an excellent grasp of the law, but equally as important, he took the time to ensure that we fully understood the various procedural and substantive issues arose during the course of the litigation. Hamilton was always attentive to our concerns and quick to respond to our questions. He did great job explaining the nuances of the legal issues and I never felt rushed in my conversations with him. In contrast to many attorneys who seem more interested in protecting themselves by not offering their opinions, Hamilton gave it to us straight. He set forth the pros and cons of the various decisions and then offered us his professional recommendation on we proceed instead of just leaving us to weigh the various factors by ourselves. This is a refreshing difference which sets him apart from scores of other attorneys we have dealt with over the years. I consider that Hamilton was not just our attorney but rather our partner in dealing with this legal matter and look forward to the next opportunity to work with him.

In July of 2020, I was in a motorcycle accident on my Harley Davidson where a LYFT driver didn’t see me and cut into my lane. I had surgery on my elbow and was hospitalized for a week. I contacted Hamilton Arendsen from my hospital bed after a friend referred me. Hamilton responded to me right away and was very personable. He is also a motorcycle rider so I felt like I was talking to a friend. He was very thorough explaining the process and always answered whenever I would text or call. We ended up getting a very nice settlement. He also set me up with some great doctors who helped me immensely in my recovery. Highest recommendation for anyone needing an experienced attorney!

My wife and I were in a motorcycle accident caused by the other driver. The accident was traumatic. I had my Harley-Davidson for 10 years and riding was a big part of our lives. The bike was totaled and we were left with mounting medical bills. After trying to work with the at-fault driver’s insurance company and getting nowhere, we contacted Arendsen Braddock Law. What a great choice! Mr. Arendsen provided excellent counsel. I also found out, he too is an avid motorcycle rider. During the process of trying to reach a settlement he was a great communicator. He consistently provided updates and allowed us to make choices on how we wanted to proceed. Mr. Arendsen truly cared about us and worked hard to get the best possible results. My wife and I are very pleased with our settlement and highly recommend his services.

Hamilton was referred to me by a lawyer that I found online. I was out of country at the time, but I needed to change lawyers to help me with an ongoing investigation. I could tell that I was talking to a top notch lawyer from the very first call. He made sure that I understood the procedures and he really spent the time to answer all of my questions. He provided me with expert advice about the pros and cons of each move. He empathized with our situation. He's quick to respond, very supportive, understanding, and he made me feel secure. I felt bad about bombarding him with so many questions throughout the case, but he still had the same caring demeanor each time. He proposed a recommendation that would have avoided charges being filed; but, I didn't follow through because I let my emotions take over me. When the charges were filed, he built great rapport with the prosecutor, kept constant communication, and secured the best resolution for my case. I don't think I would have gotten the same results if I went with a different lawyer. He saved me, my family's future, and gave us a second chance to start over. Words cannot express how truly grateful we are for his help. I'll never forget this experience and how much he's helped us get through it. I'd strongly recommend Hamilton to anyone.

I recently had a family member caught at the border driving a car with a significant amount of methamphetamine. I desperately began researching lawyers and making calls. After speaking with several, I knew he was the one. He had several years as a prosecutor and and knew the federal criminal system inside and out. He was very familiar with all the judges and prosecutors. He was quick to help out, he showed up to the court the same day at very short notice. He would contact us at every step of the way.He was very accessible, responding to our texts and emails in a very quick manner. Through he diligence and caring, he successfully proved and convinced the prosecutors of my nephews innocence. After 2 months and facing 25 years, our nephew is home!!! He gave a young man his life and future back. We cannot show enough gratitude and respect for this lawyer.

Mr Arendsen was very efficient and professional in helping me resolve my federal gun case! Due to his hard work and diligence , Mr Arendsen resolved got my gun charges all the way down to a deferred prosecution with a dismissal after six months ! Without his help my 17 year law enforcement career and livelihood would have came to an end ! I would recommend him to my family and friends in any legal matters.

I highly recommend Hamilton to anyone looking for an attorney. First and foremost, Hamilton is an excellent attorney that gets results. I got struck by a car while on my road bike and had some pretty serious injuries. Hamilton secured a very fair settlement for me. Hamilton is a former federal prosecutor and has a ton of trial experience, and I think that really helps when negotiating with the other side. Perhaps more important than being a great lawyer, Hamilton exemplifies client service and stayed in frequent contact with me to update me on the case and answer any questions I had. He took the time to explain every aspect of the case, allowing me to make important decisions about my case with his guidance but no pressure. Finally, Hamilton truly cares about his clients. It doesn't matter if your case is big or small, if he takes you on, he makes you a priority. He often called just to see how I was doing, even if there were no case developments to talk about. Look no further than this former federal prosecutor to handle your case.

I recently had a family member caught at the border driving a car with a significant amount of methamphetamine. I desperately began researching lawyers and making calls. After speaking with several, I knew he was the one. He had several years as a prosecutor and and knew the federal criminal system inside and out. He was very familiar with all the judges and prosecutors. He was quick to help out, he showed up to the court the same day at very short notice. He would contact us at every step of the way.He was very accessible, responding to our texts and emails in a very quick manner. Through he diligence and caring, he successfully proved and convinced the prosecutors of my nephews innocence. After 2 months and facing 25 years, our nephew is home!!! He gave a young man his life and future back. We cannot show enough gratitude and respect for this lawyer.

Mr Arendsen was very efficient and professional in helping me resolve my federal gun case! Due to his hard work and diligence , Mr Arendsen resolved got my gun charges all the way down to a deferred prosecution with a dismissal after six months ! Without his help my 17 year law enforcement career and livelihood would have came to an end ! I would recommend him to my family and friends in any legal matters.

I highly recommend Hamilton to anyone looking for an attorney. First and foremost, Hamilton is an excellent attorney that gets results. I got struck by a car while on my road bike and had some pretty serious injuries. Hamilton secured a very fair settlement for me. Hamilton is a former federal prosecutor and has a ton of trial experience, and I think that really helps when negotiating with the other side. Perhaps more important than being a great lawyer, Hamilton exemplifies client service and stayed in frequent contact with me to update me on the case and answer any questions I had. He took the time to explain every aspect of the case, allowing me to make important decisions about my case with his guidance but no pressure. Finally, Hamilton truly cares about his clients. It doesn't matter if your case is big or small, if he takes you on, he makes you a priority. He often called just to see how I was doing, even if there were no case developments to talk about. Look no further than this former federal prosecutor to handle your case.

He is a Honest, well spoken, experienced man who got me way better results than i was expecting. I highly recommend him.

I found myself involved in a sophisticated gambling indictment involving 22 people. Having this been my first incident with the law, I was very nervous and scared about what might happen. Thankfully, a friend referred me to attorney Hamilton Arendsen. Hamilton is a former federal prosecutor for the Southern District of California in San Diego and specializes in federal cases. He knew the federal system inside and out, knew all the prosecutors on my case, and did an excellent job explaining everything to me. Over the course of the case, he and his colleague were in frequent contact with me, always returned my calls promptly, and assured me that everything would be all right. They kept my stress level down and told me not to worry about the case and let them worry about it. Hearing that made life better for me. Hamilton was able to negotiate me a very good deal and the one I was looking for. I didn't have to do any custody and paid a very minimal fine, especially compared to the rest of the defendants, who had similar charges. Since I was possibly facing a 24-month prison sentence, I am extremely happy with the results. In the future, I will definitely refer anyone dealing with a criminal issue, particularly federal, to Hamilton and those he works with. Because of his negotiating skills and federal criminal experience, I have been able to start a new life. For that I am forever grateful. Thank you very much!

Hamilton Andersen recently handled a multistate business litigation matter for our company. I consider Hamilton to be an outstanding attorney, not just because he has an excellent grasp of the law, but equally as important, he took the time to ensure that we fully understood the various procedural and substantive issues arose during the course of the litigation. Hamilton was always attentive to our concerns and quick to respond to our questions. He did great job explaining the nuances of the legal issues and I never felt rushed in my conversations with him. In contrast to many attorneys who seem more interested in protecting themselves by not offering their opinions, Hamilton gave it to us straight. He set forth the pros and cons of the various decisions and then offered us his professional recommendation on we proceed instead of just leaving us to weigh the various factors by ourselves. This is a refreshing difference which sets him apart from scores of other attorneys we have dealt with over the years. I consider that Hamilton was not just our attorney but rather our partner in dealing with this legal matter and look forward to the next opportunity to work with him.

In July of 2020, I was in a motorcycle accident on my Harley Davidson where a LYFT driver didn’t see me and cut into my lane. I had surgery on my elbow and was hospitalized for a week. I contacted Hamilton Arendsen from my hospital bed after a friend referred me. Hamilton responded to me right away and was very personable. He is also a motorcycle rider so I felt like I was talking to a friend. He was very thorough explaining the process and always answered whenever I would text or call. We ended up getting a very nice settlement. He also set me up with some great doctors who helped me immensely in my recovery. Highest recommendation for anyone needing an experienced attorney!

My wife and I were in a motorcycle accident caused by the other driver. The accident was traumatic. I had my Harley-Davidson for 10 years and riding was a big part of our lives. The bike was totaled and we were left with mounting medical bills. After trying to work with the at-fault driver’s insurance company and getting nowhere, we contacted Arendsen Braddock Law. What a great choice! Mr. Arendsen provided excellent counsel. I also found out, he too is an avid motorcycle rider. During the process of trying to reach a settlement he was a great communicator. He consistently provided updates and allowed us to make choices on how we wanted to proceed. Mr. Arendsen truly cared about us and worked hard to get the best possible results. My wife and I are very pleased with our settlement and highly recommend his services.

Hamilton was referred to me by a lawyer that I found online. I was out of country at the time, but I needed to change lawyers to help me with an ongoing investigation. I could tell that I was talking to a top notch lawyer from the very first call. He made sure that I understood the procedures and he really spent the time to answer all of my questions. He provided me with expert advice about the pros and cons of each move. He empathized with our situation. He's quick to respond, very supportive, understanding, and he made me feel secure. I felt bad about bombarding him with so many questions throughout the case, but he still had the same caring demeanor each time. He proposed a recommendation that would have avoided charges being filed; but, I didn't follow through because I let my emotions take over me. When the charges were filed, he built great rapport with the prosecutor, kept constant communication, and secured the best resolution for my case. I don't think I would have gotten the same results if I went with a different lawyer. He saved me, my family's future, and gave us a second chance to start over. Words cannot express how truly grateful we are for his help. I'll never forget this experience and how much he's helped us get through it. I'd strongly recommend Hamilton to anyone.

Due to his hard work and diligence , Mr Arendsen resolved got my gun charges all the way down to a deferred prosecution with a dismissal after six months ! Without his help my 17 year law enforcement career and livelihood would have came to an end ! I would recommend him to my family and friends in any legal matters.

I highly recommend Hamilton to anyone looking for an attorney. First and foremost, Hamilton is an excellent attorney that gets results. I got struck by a car while on my road bike and had some pretty serious injuries. Hamilton secured a very fair settlement for me. Hamilton is a former federal prosecutor and has a ton of trial experience, and I think that really helps when negotiating with the other side. Perhaps more important than being a great lawyer, Hamilton exemplifies client service and stayed in frequent contact with me to update me on the case and answer any questions I had. He took the time to explain every aspect of the case, allowing me to make important decisions about my case with his guidance but no pressure. Finally, Hamilton truly cares about his clients. It doesn't matter if your case is big or small, if he takes you on, he makes you a priority. He often called just to see how I was doing, even if there were no case developments to talk about. Look no further than this former federal prosecutor to handle your case.

Hamilton truly is a attorney who can make "the opposing side" see the facts of your case and come to a more than reasonable offer. I am more than grateful!! He is a Honest, well spoken, experienced man who got me way better results than i was expecting. I highly recommend him.

I found myself involved in a sophisticated gambling indictment involving 22 people. Having this been my first incident with the law, I was very nervous and scared about what might happen. Thankfully, a friend referred me to attorney Hamilton Arendsen. Hamilton is a former federal prosecutor for the Southern District of California in San Diego and specializes in federal cases. He knew the federal system inside and out, knew all the prosecutors on my case, and did an excellent job explaining everything to me. Over the course of the case, he and his colleague were in frequent contact with me, always returned my calls promptly, and assured me that everything would be all right. They kept my stress level down and told me not to worry about the case and let them worry about it. Hearing that made life better for me. Hamilton was able to negotiate me a very good deal and the one I was looking for. I didn't have to do any custody and paid a very minimal fine, especially compared to the rest of the defendants, who had similar charges. Since I was possibly facing a 24-month prison sentence, I am extremely happy with the results. In the future, I will definitely refer anyone dealing with a criminal issue, particularly federal, to Hamilton and those he works with. Because of his negotiating skills and federal criminal experience, I have been able to start a new life. For that I am forever grateful. Thank you very much!

Hamilton Andersen recently handled a multistate business litigation matter for our company. I consider Hamilton to be an outstanding attorney, not just because he has an excellent grasp of the law, but equally as important, he took the time to ensure that we fully understood the various procedural and substantive issues arose during the course of the litigation. Hamilton was always attentive to our concerns and quick to respond to our questions. He did great job explaining the nuances of the legal issues and I never felt rushed in my conversations with him. In contrast to many attorneys who seem more interested in protecting themselves by not offering their opinions, Hamilton gave it to us straight. He set forth the pros and cons of the various decisions and then offered us his professional recommendation on we proceed instead of just leaving us to weigh the various factors by ourselves. This is a refreshing difference which sets him apart from scores of other attorneys we have dealt with over the years. I consider that Hamilton was not just our attorney but rather our partner in dealing with this legal matter and look forward to the next opportunity to work with him.

In July of 2020, I was in a motorcycle accident on my Harley Davidson where a LYFT driver didn’t see me and cut into my lane. I had surgery on my elbow and was hospitalized for a week. I contacted Hamilton Arendsen from my hospital bed after a friend referred me. Hamilton responded to me right away and was very personable. He is also a motorcycle rider so I felt like I was talking to a friend. He was very thorough explaining the process and always answered whenever I would text or call. We ended up getting a very nice settlement. He also set me up with some great doctors who helped me immensely in my recovery. Highest recommendation for anyone needing an experienced attorney!

My wife and I were in a motorcycle accident caused by the other driver. The accident was traumatic. I had my Harley-Davidson for 10 years and riding was a big part of our lives. The bike was totaled and we were left with mounting medical bills. After trying to work with the at-fault driver’s insurance company and getting nowhere, we contacted Arendsen Braddock Law. What a great choice! Mr. Arendsen provided excellent counsel. I also found out, he too is an avid motorcycle rider. During the process of trying to reach a settlement he was a great communicator. He consistently provided updates and allowed us to make choices on how we wanted to proceed. Mr. Arendsen truly cared about us and worked hard to get the best possible results. My wife and I are very pleased with our settlement and highly recommend his services.

Hamilton was referred to me by a lawyer that I found online. I was out of country at the time, but I needed to change lawyers to help me with an ongoing investigation. I could tell that I was talking to a top notch lawyer from the very first call. He made sure that I understood the procedures and he really spent the time to answer all of my questions. He provided me with expert advice about the pros and cons of each move. He empathized with our situation. He's quick to respond, very supportive, understanding, and he made me feel secure. I felt bad about bombarding him with so many questions throughout the case, but he still had the same caring demeanor each time. He proposed a recommendation that would have avoided charges being filed; but, I didn't follow through because I let my emotions take over me. When the charges were filed, he built great rapport with the prosecutor, kept constant communication, and secured the best resolution for my case. I don't think I would have gotten the same results if I went with a different lawyer. He saved me, my family's future, and gave us a second chance to start over. Words cannot express how truly grateful we are for his help. I'll never forget this experience and how much he's helped us get through it. I'd strongly recommend Hamilton to anyone.

I recently had a family member caught at the border driving a car with a significant amount of methamphetamine. I desperately began researching lawyers and making calls. After speaking with several, I knew he was the one. He had several years as a prosecutor and and knew the federal criminal system inside and out. He was very familiar with all the judges and prosecutors. He was quick to help out, he showed up to the court the same day at very short notice. He would contact us at every step of the way.He was very accessible, responding to our texts and emails in a very quick manner. Through he diligence and caring, he successfully proved and convinced the prosecutors of my nephews innocence. After 2 months and facing 25 years, our nephew is home!!! He gave a young man his life and future back. We cannot show enough gratitude and respect for this lawyer.

So there i was facing the fed court system in san diego on a serious unregistered weapons charge. Hamilton truly is a attorney who can make "the opposing side" see the facts of your case and come to a more than reasonable offer. I am more than grateful!! He is a Honest, well spoken, experienced man who got me way better results than i was expecting. I highly recommend him.

I found myself involved in a sophisticated gambling indictment involving 22 people. Having this been my first incident with the law, I was very nervous and scared about what might happen. Thankfully, a friend referred me to attorney Hamilton Arendsen. Hamilton is a former federal prosecutor for the Southern District of California in San Diego and specializes in federal cases. He knew the federal system inside and out, knew all the prosecutors on my case, and did an excellent job explaining everything to me. Over the course of the case, he and his colleague were in frequent contact with me, always returned my calls promptly, and assured me that everything would be all right. They kept my stress level down and told me not to worry about the case and let them worry about it. Hearing that made life better for me. Hamilton was able to negotiate me a very good deal and the one I was looking for. I didn't have to do any custody and paid a very minimal fine, especially compared to the rest of the defendants, who had similar charges. Since I was possibly facing a 24-month prison sentence, I am extremely happy with the results. In the future, I will definitely refer anyone dealing with a criminal issue, particularly federal, to Hamilton and those he works with. Because of his negotiating skills and federal criminal experience, I have been able to start a new life. For that I am forever grateful. Thank you very much!

Hamilton Andersen recently handled a multistate business litigation matter for our company. I consider Hamilton to be an outstanding attorney, not just because he has an excellent grasp of the law, but equally as important, he took the time to ensure that we fully understood the various procedural and substantive issues arose during the course of the litigation. Hamilton was always attentive to our concerns and quick to respond to our questions. He did great job explaining the nuances of the legal issues and I never felt rushed in my conversations with him. In contrast to many attorneys who seem more interested in protecting themselves by not offering their opinions, Hamilton gave it to us straight. He set forth the pros and cons of the various decisions and then offered us his professional recommendation on we proceed instead of just leaving us to weigh the various factors by ourselves. This is a refreshing difference which sets him apart from scores of other attorneys we have dealt with over the years. I consider that Hamilton was not just our attorney but rather our partner in dealing with this legal matter and look forward to the next opportunity to work with him.

In July of 2020, I was in a motorcycle accident on my Harley Davidson where a LYFT driver didn’t see me and cut into my lane. I had surgery on my elbow and was hospitalized for a week. I contacted Hamilton Arendsen from my hospital bed after a friend referred me. Hamilton responded to me right away and was very personable. He is also a motorcycle rider so I felt like I was talking to a friend. He was very thorough explaining the process and always answered whenever I would text or call. We ended up getting a very nice settlement. He also set me up with some great doctors who helped me immensely in my recovery. Highest recommendation for anyone needing an experienced attorney!

My wife and I were in a motorcycle accident caused by the other driver. The accident was traumatic. I had my Harley-Davidson for 10 years and riding was a big part of our lives. The bike was totaled and we were left with mounting medical bills. After trying to work with the at-fault driver’s insurance company and getting nowhere, we contacted Arendsen Braddock Law. What a great choice! Mr. Arendsen provided excellent counsel. I also found out, he too is an avid motorcycle rider. During the process of trying to reach a settlement he was a great communicator. He consistently provided updates and allowed us to make choices on how we wanted to proceed. Mr. Arendsen truly cared about us and worked hard to get the best possible results. My wife and I are very pleased with our settlement and highly recommend his services.

Hamilton was referred to me by a lawyer that I found online. I was out of country at the time, but I needed to change lawyers to help me with an ongoing investigation. I could tell that I was talking to a top notch lawyer from the very first call. He made sure that I understood the procedures and he really spent the time to answer all of my questions. He provided me with expert advice about the pros and cons of each move. He empathized with our situation. He's quick to respond, very supportive, understanding, and he made me feel secure. I felt bad about bombarding him with so many questions throughout the case, but he still had the same caring demeanor each time. He proposed a recommendation that would have avoided charges being filed; but, I didn't follow through because I let my emotions take over me. When the charges were filed, he built great rapport with the prosecutor, kept constant communication, and secured the best resolution for my case. I don't think I would have gotten the same results if I went with a different lawyer. He saved me, my family's future, and gave us a second chance to start over. Words cannot express how truly grateful we are for his help. I'll never forget this experience and how much he's helped us get through it. I'd strongly recommend Hamilton to anyone.

I recently had a family member caught at the border driving a car with a significant amount of methamphetamine. I desperately began researching lawyers and making calls. After speaking with several, I knew he was the one. He had several years as a prosecutor and and knew the federal criminal system inside and out. He was very familiar with all the judges and prosecutors. He was quick to help out, he showed up to the court the same day at very short notice. He would contact us at every step of the way.He was very accessible, responding to our texts and emails in a very quick manner. Through he diligence and caring, he successfully proved and convinced the prosecutors of my nephews innocence. After 2 months and facing 25 years, our nephew is home!!! He gave a young man his life and future back. We cannot show enough gratitude and respect for this lawyer.

Mr Arendsen was very efficient and professional in helping me resolve my federal gun case! Due to his hard work and diligence , Mr Arendsen resolved got my gun charges all the way down to a deferred prosecution with a dismissal after six months ! Without his help my 17 year law enforcement career and livelihood would have came to an end ! I would recommend him to my family and friends in any legal matters.

I highly recommend Hamilton to anyone looking for an attorney. First and foremost, Hamilton is an excellent attorney that gets results. I got struck by a car while on my road bike and had some pretty serious injuries. Hamilton secured a very fair settlement for me. Hamilton is a former federal prosecutor and has a ton of trial experience, and I think that really helps when negotiating with the other side. Perhaps more important than being a great lawyer, Hamilton exemplifies client service and stayed in frequent contact with me to update me on the case and answer any questions I had. He took the time to explain every aspect of the case, allowing me to make important decisions about my case with his guidance but no pressure. Finally, Hamilton truly cares about his clients. It doesn't matter if your case is big or small, if he takes you on, he makes you a priority. He often called just to see how I was doing, even if there were no case developments to talk about.

They kept my stress level down and told me not to worry about the case and let them worry about it. Hearing that made life better for me. Hamilton was able to negotiate me a very good deal and the one I was looking for. I didn't have to do any custody and paid a very minimal fine, especially compared to the rest of the defendants, who had similar charges. Since I was possibly facing a 24-month prison sentence, I am extremely happy with the results. In the future, I will definitely refer anyone dealing with a criminal issue, particularly federal, to Hamilton and those he works with. Because of his negotiating skills and federal criminal experience, I have been able to start a new life. For that I am forever grateful. Thank you very much!

Hamilton Andersen recently handled a multistate business litigation matter for our company. I consider Hamilton to be an outstanding attorney, not just because he has an excellent grasp of the law, but equally as important, he took the time to ensure that we fully understood the various procedural and substantive issues arose during the course of the litigation. Hamilton was always attentive to our concerns and quick to respond to our questions. He did great job explaining the nuances of the legal issues and I never felt rushed in my conversations with him. In contrast to many attorneys who seem more interested in protecting themselves by not offering their opinions, Hamilton gave it to us straight. He set forth the pros and cons of the various decisions and then offered us his professional recommendation on we proceed instead of just leaving us to weigh the various factors by ourselves. This is a refreshing difference which sets him apart from scores of other attorneys we have dealt with over the years. I consider that Hamilton was not just our attorney but rather our partner in dealing with this legal matter and look forward to the next opportunity to work with him.

In July of 2020, I was in a motorcycle accident on my Harley Davidson where a LYFT driver didn’t see me and cut into my lane. I had surgery on my elbow and was hospitalized for a week. I contacted Hamilton Arendsen from my hospital bed after a friend referred me. Hamilton responded to me right away and was very personable. He is also a motorcycle rider so I felt like I was talking to a friend. He was very thorough explaining the process and always answered whenever I would text or call. We ended up getting a very nice settlement. He also set me up with some great doctors who helped me immensely in my recovery. Highest recommendation for anyone needing an experienced attorney!

My wife and I were in a motorcycle accident caused by the other driver. The accident was traumatic. I had my Harley-Davidson for 10 years and riding was a big part of our lives. The bike was totaled and we were left with mounting medical bills. After trying to work with the at-fault driver’s insurance company and getting nowhere, we contacted Arendsen Braddock Law. What a great choice! Mr. Arendsen provided excellent counsel. I also found out, he too is an avid motorcycle rider. During the process of trying to reach a settlement he was a great communicator. He consistently provided updates and allowed us to make choices on how we wanted to proceed. Mr. Arendsen truly cared about us and worked hard to get the best possible results. My wife and I are very pleased with our settlement and highly recommend his services.

Hamilton was referred to me by a lawyer that I found online. I was out of country at the time, but I needed to change lawyers to help me with an ongoing investigation. I could tell that I was talking to a top notch lawyer from the very first call. He made sure that I understood the procedures and he really spent the time to answer all of my questions. He provided me with expert advice about the pros and cons of each move. He empathized with our situation. He's quick to respond, very supportive, understanding, and he made me feel secure. I felt bad about bombarding him with so many questions throughout the case, but he still had the same caring demeanor each time. He proposed a recommendation that would have avoided charges being filed; but, I didn't follow through because I let my emotions take over me. When the charges were filed, he built great rapport with the prosecutor, kept constant communication, and secured the best resolution for my case. I don't think I would have gotten the same results if I went with a different lawyer. He saved me, my family's future, and gave us a second chance to start over. Words cannot express how truly grateful we are for his help. I'll never forget this experience and how much he's helped us get through it. I'd strongly recommend Hamilton to anyone.

I recently had a family member caught at the border driving a car with a significant amount of methamphetamine. I desperately began researching lawyers and making calls. After speaking with several, I knew he was the one. He had several years as a prosecutor and and knew the federal criminal system inside and out. He was very familiar with all the judges and prosecutors. He was quick to help out, he showed up to the court the same day at very short notice. He would contact us at every step of the way.He was very accessible, responding to our texts and emails in a very quick manner. Through he diligence and caring, he successfully proved and convinced the prosecutors of my nephews innocence. After 2 months and facing 25 years, our nephew is home!!! He gave a young man his life and future back. We cannot show enough gratitude and respect for this lawyer.

Mr Arendsen was very efficient and professional in helping me resolve my federal gun case! Due to his hard work and diligence , Mr Arendsen resolved got my gun charges all the way down to a deferred prosecution with a dismissal after six months ! Without his help my 17 year law enforcement career and livelihood would have came to an end ! I would recommend him to my family and friends in any legal matters.

I highly recommend Hamilton to anyone looking for an attorney. First and foremost, Hamilton is an excellent attorney that gets results. I got struck by a car while on my road bike and had some pretty serious injuries. Hamilton secured a very fair settlement for me. Hamilton is a former federal prosecutor and has a ton of trial experience, and I think that really helps when negotiating with the other side. Perhaps more important than being a great lawyer, Hamilton exemplifies client service and stayed in frequent contact with me to update me on the case and answer any questions I had. He took the time to explain every aspect of the case, allowing me to make important decisions about my case with his guidance but no pressure. Finally, Hamilton truly cares about his clients. It doesn't matter if your case is big or small, if he takes you on, he makes you a priority. He often called just to see how I was doing, even if there were no case developments to talk about. Look no further than this former federal prosecutor to handle your case.

He is a Honest, well spoken, experienced man who got me way better results than i was expecting. I highly recommend him.

I found myself involved in a sophisticated gambling indictment involving 22 people. Having this been my first incident with the law, I was very nervous and scared about what might happen. Thankfully, a friend referred me to attorney Hamilton Arendsen. Hamilton is a former federal prosecutor for the Southern District of California in San Diego and specializes in federal cases. He knew the federal system inside and out, knew all the prosecutors on my case, and did an excellent job explaining everything to me. Over the course of the case, he and his colleague were in frequent contact with me, always returned my calls promptly, and assured me that everything would be all right.
