I was blessed to be able to hire Lonnie to represent my husband. My husband was being charged with 6 felonies! & Looking at several years in prison! Lonnie’s Guinness work, great knowledge and awesome work ethic got my husband 6 months in the county jail and all the charges dropped down to misdemeanors. Lonnie works hard for his clients and isn’t afraid to go up to bat for them! He’s an amazing attorney and a great person to have on your side!
I had my first DUI case, didn’t know what to do or who to call. When Shakti and Lonnie gave me a call I knew they were the ones for the job. Being as young as I am none of the law talk made sense to me and many other lawyers that came in contact were too fast and didn’t make it seem like they even had time for me. Lonnie and shakti were there to answer my questions whenever I needed them and got back to me ASAP in a timely manor. Lonnie was able to reduce my penelties tremendously, dropping the DUI from my record and turning it into an infraction leaving me with no probationary period. I could not thank him and his team enough for all the help they gave me and my family
Man i thought i was going to jail forsure dude when i called these n+$$×s i was so happy and pleased knowing my situation they got me out of everything i was facing please lonnie is the best !!!!!
I received a notice in the mail. A notice I wasn't expecting. I was told I would probably need a lawyer. I did research and his firm was highly recommended. They were also very inexpensive in comparison to most lawyers. Lonnie cared about my case and doing what's best for me. My case was very small in comparison to his other cases, but he treated me like I was his only client. I appreciated the time he took with me. It seems like he genuinely wanted what was best for me. My hearing went amazing and I would recommend him to everyone.
Lonnie is a genius. His ability to think quickly and remembering the details are amazing. He has the talent to unearth the truth in the most stressful environments. His cross examinations skills are the best. He saved me from a Domestic violence case and the verdict was not guilty 12-0. Lonnies speech and personality demands the attention of everyone around him, Judge, Da, Jury and even the public's eyes and ears are wide open when Lonnie speaks. Once the case was over Lonnie had asked the jurors if there was anything he could do to improve; The answer was " No you were perfect." He is the best defense lawyer you can find.
This guy will literally fight for you. Hiring him for a unjustified DV case with my girlfriend was the best decision. Watching him argue and defend our case with Downey's DA was more than pleasing. Lonnie went to bat and got us a good deal overall. Highly recommend Lonnie Mcdowell for any legal defense.
Attorney McDowell without a doubt exceeded my expectations and helped me achieve the best possible outcome given my situation. His knowledge and understanding was so appreciated and definitely unmatched—honestly the best legal counsel I’ve had in my personal experience. Thank you so much!
I was helping a friend with a legal matter, and I hired Lonnie McDowell to help. Lonnie is knowledgeable, a quick study, easy to work with, and he knows the system. He was able to cut through the red tape and handle my friend's issue quickly and efficiently. Results were much better than I initially hoped - great in fact. Cost was reasonable, and worth every dollar. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs a criminal defense guy who knows how to get things done! Because it was not my case, I can't post the details, but I can say for sure that Lonnie responded quickly and resolved the matter skillfully. I'm grateful!
The police charged me with five felonies. The public defenders offer was terrible so I started to interview criminal defense attorney's in my local area. I must have met with at least twenty of them. I wanted a fighter and ended up choosing Lonnie. The first time I had him represent me, I asked him to try to change a "no contact" restraining order so my marriage was not destroyed by the state. I saw him fight for me before the judge. I believed then that he was the right choice. Never would I have imagined that it would be such a long drawn out fight. One and a half years of court appearances till the final outcome. I have no charges and no criminal record. I live in the Coachella Valley and hesitated to retain an attorney who lived so far away. Every court date I wondered if he would make that long drive. He is utterly dependable. My life is saved and most important my marriage is saved. How could I be more thankful. I will never forget how important it is to choose the right guy. To say I would recommend him would be an understatement. Retaining Lonnie is one of the best decisions I have made. Now its over. I couldn't be happier.
I had a very odd arrest where I was accused of masturbating in public. Lonnie took the case he was gentle and as time went on he became more aggressive and was able to get me off. In the end the charges were dropped and I was relieved. He really worked the case with style and finesse like a well oiled litigator.
