Hiring Garret to represent me in my felony burglary case was one of the best decisions I had ever made. From the start, he was always available and prompt about returning my calls, emails and text messages. I highly recommend him to anyone who’s in need of a lawyer. He went above and beyond to get the felony burglary charge reduced to a misdemeanor burglary to finally a petty theft. This was no easy task. He went as far up the chain of commands as he could (from DA to head DA) and met with them on multiple occasions and when they still wouldn’t budge, he found another way to get the most favorable outcome. I truly felt taken care of and that I was in great hands. Garret is an honest, sincere lawyer who is a man of his word and truly cares about his clients. Furthermore, his rates are more than reasonable. My felony case was billed at a rate equivalent to a misdemeanor and when the DA was unwilling to reduce the felony, Garret honored his word and made the commitment that even though he’ll have to put in significantly more work, he’ll honor the reduced rate he quoted me without compromising the quality of his work. Wow – extremely honest, generous, genuine and sincere! Words cannot express the gratitude I have towards Garret and his team! Thank you for everything! Simply, the best!

Garret has helped me through two DUI cases, one I deserved and one I didn’t. He is experienced enough to be well acquainted with the nuances and intricacies of the legal and penal systems. With both cases, he treated me with respect and without judgment. He was honest with me about what to expect, followed through with me in a timely manner, answered any and all questions thoroughly and proved himself to be a true advocate for me in the courtroom. It’s a real gift to have someone like Garret fighting for you. I have recommended Garret already and will do so indefinitely.

I’m very glad I chose to work with Garret to help me get through this undesirable situation. He was very available – always returning my calls, texts, or emails. As someone who is afraid to break the law by even jaywalking on an empty street, I assumed my life was over after being arrested for a misdemeanor DUI. He helped put me ease about the situation amidst the stress of a new job and getting ready to start grad school. Thanks to Garret, I am optimistic that the lapse of judgment I had won’t ruin my life or future career.

My situation .. I was involved in a bar fight with security from the bar. I was just trying to help out a friend that was being tazed. About 6 months later my friend and I get picked up by police, him for assault and myself for assault with a deadly weapon (apparently a bottle was thrown) and it’s all on video. I cant describe how so many emotions ran through me. I have 3 daughters a wife and I am the primary provider for my family. Luckily a good friend referred me to Garret. I had talked to several lawyers, Garret was the first and I knew right away this was going to be my lawyer. He’s down to earth, professional and knows his stuff. Garret never promised anything he couldn’t deliver. Going through an emotional roller-coaster, Garret was able to drop my charges from assault with a deadly weapon (felony) , jail time with a strike to just assault (misdemeanor) with probation. I can not explain how happy I am with my outcome with Garret. I hope I never have to go through anything like this again but if it happens I am glad Garret is on my side! I have already referred friends to Garret .. I will refer him to anyone. Thanks again Garret.

Garett is straight forward and takes quick action, my family and I are very thankful we got referred to him. He kept me posted on new information as it came and always made sure I understood exactly what to do. Very down to earth person and knows exactly how to handle things. I was wrongfully accused for assault with a deadly weapon with my car by bumping into someone when I was brake checked. The police Put a 30 grand bail on me with a court date and towed my car. while the other person got let go and didn’t press any charges while the police did..Got out with bail bonds and with with Garett’s hard work got the case rejected without a court date to attend and now the other person is at fault. He is even helping me erase my arrest off my record. Thank you Garett for everything. He was extremely helpful and knowledgable, I would definitely recommend Garett without a question. Made me feel comfortable and important. Thanks again Garett! Excellent service and outcome! Very pleased!

Garret was awesome. I had a DUI case and he handled everything with the highest level of professionalism. He made sure to keep me informed, and helped me to keep my stress about this at bay by being readily available to answer all my questions and my families questions. He was always straight with me and walked me through the entire process. The psychological impact of the whole ordeal can be so overwhelming, but Garret always affirmed me as a person and assured me that my future is still just as bright–that meant a lot to me personally. I highly recommend him.

I was arrested for the first time ever, and it was a DUI. I’m a RN so you can imagine the impact and stress this incident had/has on me. I’ve never been in trouble with the law, and always tried to do everything right. After meeting Garret, I immediately felt like somehow it was going to be okay. I was confident with the legal representation I chose. I am so thankful for the numerous efforts he made to help me. I am an expert on my field, but when it came to the law and terminology, I’m very thankful that Garret helped me to make sense of things. He was always quick to respond, and in the many times I wanted to literally just run away from the country, he kept me grounded and even-headed. All his efforts are very much and deeply appreciated. I would highly recommend attorney Garret to everyone!

My husband and I got into some trouble (petty theft) and were arrested and booked for a commercial burglary/felony at San Fernando courthouse. We are both RN’s so our RN licenses were on the line. We were absolutely terrified and had no idea what to do because this was the first time we were in a situation like this. Till now my husband and I had a clean record. At first we ended up going to a different lawyer who we thought is the “Best” BUT we were wrong! After spending THOUSANDS of dollars we came to the conclusion that his resume did not live up to our expectations so we knew we had to find someone else. The previous lawyer was only able to get us a Petty Theft/Misdemeanor but Garret did the impossible and had it lowered to a Petty Theft Infraction which we now do not have to report to the Board of Registered Nursing. He saved our career and our life! I would also like to mention that he is really good at answering emails and phone calls at a timely manner. He also gives you his cell phone number so you can call/text him anytime. The only regret we have is that we did not come to him FIRST! Thank you Garret!

Mr. Naderi and Mr. Weinrieb were hired to represent two nurses charged with theft. The clients fired their prior lawyers because they could not get the cases properly resolved. If the nurses were convicted of a felony or misdemeanor theft they would likely lose their nursing licenses. Mr. Naderi and Mr. Weinrieb worked closely with the prosecutors and got the charges reduced to a mere infraction which allowed the nurses to keep their nursing licenses. San Fernando Court.

After being falsely arrested for battery I contacted Garret and he alleviated my distress regarding the situation. Once I retained Garret services he diligently worked toward getting my case dismissed and clearly communicated his progress along the way. Thanks to Garret’s efforts the case was dropped.

I recently used garret on a domestic case. I am a non us citizen and found garret to be easy to talk to, and upfront about what he could do and the likely outcomes for me. He was easy for me to contact and responded very promptly to any questions or concerns I had. He kept me regularly up to date. He was great to deal with and very trust worthy, which was important especially since I live overseas and didn’t really understand the laws in California. Would recommend him for future use to everyone. He got my case dropped and I couldn’t be more grateful. Airport Courthouse.

Since I first met with Garret, I felt a sense of confidence. Being my first time in a situation where I had to defend myself against the court system, I did heavy research on the matter at hand. Garret stood out by a mile with his approach and knowledge of the context subject. My family felt at ease with my decision and I was never disappointed through the process. Communication was excellent and when I had questions he was always willing to go the extra mile to answer my concerns. I was impressed with his ability to deal with a sensitive subject and persuade the best solution for me. I completely recommend Garret, and I would not think twice if I ever need him again.

I was facing a Felony which could have landed me in jail for many years. After the first consultation I felt that Attorney Weinrieb was confident and knowledgeable about the law enough and he would be the best Attorney to handle my case . I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my case. Attorney Weinrieb clearly informed me on every detail of the case. He never gave me any false promises. He was able to work out a deal with the DA that was the best for my situation. I have no jail time and I will be able to expunge my record that is excellent considering my initial charge. If you want a sincere, well informed, hardworking attorney I highly recommend you retain Attorney Weinrieb.

Garret did a great job defending me on a first time DUI case. I wasn’t sure if I should go with a lawyer as experienced as Garret at first because the evidence against me was considerable and mandatory minimum sentences severely limit the discretion of the judge. I’m very glad that I didn’t make that mistake! Garret worked with me to schedule my hearing so I could continue to drive until I finished my school and volunteer commitments. This really minimized the disruption on my life and I’m extremely grateful for it. I was concerned that due to a high BAC level I might get an enhanced DUI charge. He reviewed all of the evidence against me gave me an honest assessment of its strength, which unfortunately was considerable. Despite this, he managed to get me the minimum sentence for a first time DUI. This was a real accomplishment and again, I’m very happy for it. He was also very patient and accommodating with my concerns that probation would negate my ability to receive state licensing for a professional accreditation. He explained how I can petition to have my probation concluded at the end of 18 months instead of 36. Hopefully, I’ll present a strong case at that time and be approved. What really made me happy was that he took my request for a limited probation seriously and devised a strategy we can use do exactly that. He really worked hard to help minimize the impact of this mistake on every aspect of my personal and professional life and I’m very grateful for it. I would definitely recommend Garret to anyone needing a good defense lawyer.

Of all the places that I expected to be on thanksgiving morning, jail was the last of them, but thats where I was. I got a DUI the night before, had a double shift ahead of me, and all I could think about was how screwed I was. In the next week I talked to a few lawyers to see who would represent me best, a friend recommended Garret Weinrieb, who was the best choice I could have made. He didn’t try to tell me what I wanted to hear, he told me what I would face flat out. He didn’t tell me to take whatever I was offered or that there wasn’t anything I could do, and his proactive view made a difference in my decision. Throughout the process he has made sure I was informed and well represented. Without going into too much detail, he was able to significantly mitigate the out come of my case. Don’t get me wrong, because of what happened when I was arrested he didn’t have a lot to work with, but he did extremely well with what was there. I feel as though I didn’t waste a penny hiring him as my lawyer, and will hire him in the future if the need arises.

Arvand Nader criminal defender is the best of the best at what he does. His NOT like any typical attorney, this guy is determined , focused and knows what his doing to win the case. This is also the first time that I have an attorney that text me every step by step he was taking to help my friend out of jail. I was really impressed, from the time he walked into the court house he went right to work. This guy walked in and took him less then 30 minutes for the prosecutor to drop all the charges. Will definitely use his services again.. thanks again bro.

Arvand realizes that being accused of a crime can be a difficult and confusing time for clients and their families, and strives to maintain a balance of compassion and understanding with a firm commitment to build a strong case that will have good results in court. He did it for me. He is experienced, aggressive and dedicated. I want to thank you for all of the help, guidance, and patience you have shown us. You have helped us through what has been not only the most difficult time in our lives, but the lowest point also. Without you we would never have gotten through this. You have helped us stay together and we are even starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. For this we will never be able to thank you enough.

I hired Garret Weinrieb a few months ago to help me with my two pending court cases. From the time I met him I could already tell that he had a big heart for helping out people and he was serious about resolving my cases. I have never had to deal with anything criminal inside of the court before other than the occasional traffic violations, so I was all new to this. Garret made me feel very comfortable about how everything was going to work and what exactly he was going to do for me in order to minimize the damage at hand. When the preliminary hearing came around Garret called me a few days before to go over everything with me and let me know that he was prepared and to not worry that he would have my back. They didnt do much other then schedule me to another date for sentencing, so that was a relief. April 11th came around and it was my time to hear my fate. Prior to that Garret was constantly writing the prosecutor and trying to work out whatever deals he could for me, in order to keep me safe and out of jail. When the day came to face the judge and prosecutor, we met early with Mr. Weinrieb and he explained to me what deal he made and that he fought hard to make it happen. Although my punishment was not totally abolished, Garret made sure that I wouldnt be in too much trouble. He was able to keep me out of jail which was a huge help. I would highly recommend that you contact him if you are in any type of trouble. He is not only professional and good at what he does, but he is down to earth and he makes it a point to get to know you on a personal level. Take my word for it when i say ” You will be in great hands with Garret!”

I highly recommend Arvand as your criminal defense attorney. I was charged with a misdemeanor and Arvand got my case dismissed through civil compromise. He protected me from serious charges. I was blessed to be represented by him. You are in good hands if you hire him as your lawyer. A Million thanks to Arvand.

I cannot say enough great things about Arvand. After I was questioned by detectives regarding a white collar crime, I immediately looked for a lawyer. After speaking to about 10 different lawyer I chose Arvand. During our 15 minute conversation he made me feel at ease and confident that he would work hard for me. I was worried about losing my job if I were randomly picked up on a arrest warrant. He convinced the detective to let me turn myself in at a time that was convenient for me. He told me what to say and what to do when I turned myself in. He gave me the information to a bail bondsmen that gave me a discount and got me out in less than 4 hours. Arvand really does everything he can to make sure you can continue on with your normal life. Between court dates if I had any questions or concerns, I could always reach him on his cell phone. He never made me feel like I was bothering him or being a dramatic girl (I was totally being a dramatic girl). When it came time for sentencing Arvand fought hard with me. He was not going to allow me to lose everything I had worked for. He is extremely connected and beloved by everyone at Van Nuys court. He is highly respected. The DA wanted to give me 2 years state prison because I have a prior felony conviction. She was not budging. Arvand was not taking that. He spoke with the judge and got me county jail time and probation. That was absolutely amazing! It was a miracle! There is no way I would have gotten that offer with a different lawyer. I know I got this because Arvand is so highly respected by this judge. He explained everything to me and even helped me stay calm when I got overwhelmed through the process. He even got the judge to agree to let me surrender myself in 7 weeks, so I could get things in order and prepare. With all Arvand’s help I will be able to get my life back on track. When someone so respected and kind puts their name on the line for you it makes you not want to let them down. If you are looking for an intelligent, hardworking, and honest lawyer please do yourself a favor and hire Arvand. On a side note, he is absolutely hilarious. There wasn’t one time speaking with him that I didn’t laugh. Laughter really makes this process a lot easier.

For my DUI’ case, Garrett Weinrieb had fought hard by providing accurate statements on police officer’s wrongdoings for refusing to provide me an ASL (Deaf) interpreter. Not that I was deaf in which he felt pity, but has pretty a wealth of knowledge with the ADA laws, and other rights for people of all disabilities. He did his homework well. Upon his integrity, he made sure that I understand the court procedures by communicating via-email/SMS and in person to keep me inform of my case. He is a serious contender type in resolving and defending a case that he wants to make sure the person is pleased with his work.

Attorney Weinrieb is a man of his word and gave me assurance not only before I hired him but also during and until my case was resolved which was REJECTED by the court. I really admire people like him who does not BS and play with peoples lives like many other money thirsty lawyers out there do. Thank you for your help.

Garret was absolutely the most communicative lawyer I have ever encountered, we were always able to reach him one way or another. His professionalism, humanity and understanding was beyond what I could ever hope for. He was able to see right thru the lying accusser and was able to free me from the false accusation …. Couldn’t ask for a better firm and lawyer, simply the Best !!!!! Impressive skills & wonderful down to earth person to speak to as well as being tough enough to get things done. I would recommend Garret to anyone and he will also be the first person I contact for any further needs !!!!!!

I was facing up to 3 years of jail time on drug charges due to a casual night gone horrendously awry. Garret believed that i wasn’t that kind of a person and was empathetic to my circumstances before and during the time of the incident. Despite the allegations, he worked hard to convince the people that I had the character and drive to build a future worth preserving. I was able to avoid jail. I was given the opportunity to even repair my record. I feel a tremendous amount of weight lifted from my shoulders and have Garret and my family to thank. He is a fantastic attorney and very down to earth guy. Would recommend.

My daughter was recently defended by Arvand. She had recently been involved in an accident, was arrested and charged with two serious counts. From our first meeting with Arvand, I knew my daughter had the right defender. His knowledge and experience in dealing with complex cases and the judicial system is overwhelming. His confidence and persistance is very reassuring, there was no doubt that my daughter had the best defense possible. Arvand is a real fighter, his presence in the courtroom is unlike any of the other attorneys we saw; his air of confidence is incredible. Arvand got my daughter’s most serious charge thrown out and was able to get the second charge reduced to a minor charge. It was clearly the best outcome we could have ever hoped for. I highly recommed Arvand to anyone who is in need of a good attorney. You will recognize from your first meeting that you have made the right choice. Arvand is a knowledgeable, confident fighter!

Last year I was pulled over by a police officer, who gave me a misdemeanor for driving with a foreign license. As I am a foreign student I was not perfectly aware of the law and found myself in an ugly situation, as a misdemeanor would have created a criminal record and put my visa on risk. Mr. Weinrieb was recommended to me by a close friend and I couldn’t have been in better hands. He guided me through my case with incredible professionalism, care and knowledge. He successfully got rid of the misdemeanor and provided me from being involved in further trials. I would recommend Mr. Weinrieb to everyone that is not only looking for an extremely talented and professional lawyer, but also for kindness and understanding.

A few months ago I was arrested and charged with two serious felonies. I was so scared but after meeting with Arvand I knew I was in good hands. Arvand was able to get one of the charges completely dropped and the second reduced to a much lesser charge. He was so helpful, no matter what time it was he would answer all of questions and concerns. As a lawyer he wasn’t intimidating at all and was very honest. You can tell that he really cares. In court it’s obvious that Arvand is a very experienced lawyer. I am so greatful for everything he has done for me. I would highly recommend Arvand Naderi to anyone who is looking for a great lawyer.

To put it simply, Arvand Naderi is THE go to criminal defense lawyer in the San Fernando Valley.

If you need to be represented, do not hesitate to call Mr. Naderi! Not only is he an ace laywer, he’s a cheerful, witty person that cares. You’re in good hands with Arvand.

On July 20, 2012, a mass shooting occurred inside of a Century movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, during a midnight screening of the film The Dark Knight Rises. A gunman, dressed in tactical clothing, set off tear gas grenades and shot into the audience with multiple firearms, killing 12 people and injuring 70 others. The sole suspect, James Eagan Holmes, was arrested outside the cinema minutes later. On the very next night I got arrested on hearsay from 2 bouncers working a North Hollywood, CA nightclub claiming I had said I was going to shoot up the place like the before mentioned person. This happened on my first Friday in California where I celebrated with a friend our first week of training in a 747 manufacturing assignment. I had just relocated for work related reasons and before I could finish my training I got arrested and charged with two criminal charges of threat. I was kicked out of a club and stayed to wait until my friend got out and two bouncers who told me to leave several times just coordinated to call the cops and made up claims. Soon after the cops showed up, my world turned upside down. Luckily I stumbled into Garret and if you are lucky enough, so will you. Bottom line is he made sure everything was viewed in full scope and addressed. Could not ask for more than that but to actually receive that attention was assuring. The outcome, considering all the factors, was excellent.

My family hired Mr. Weinrieb when my older cousin was falsely accused of assault with a deadly weapon. Unlike many other lawyers I spoke with, Mr. Weinrieb was 100% honest and straightforward. Unlike other lawyers, he did not make wild promises or guarantees about the outcome of the case. What he did guarantee is that he would work as hard as humanly possible to help my family. He was a man of his word, and he worked extremely hard on our case to obtain a fantastic result in the case. He kept my cousin out of jail and allowed him to go on and live a productive life. I cannot be happier about his work, and he is definitely the go-to attorney if you want a highly intelligent and hard working lawyer who gets along well with the prosecutors and judges in the court, and gets great results for his clients.

I cannot find the perfect words to express my gratitude towards the help of Garret Weinrieb in defending myself and a friend in a petty theft case. I was extremely worried that my record was going to be tainted forever but Garret helped us find a peace of mind. Weinrieb will go above and beyond to help his clients; NEVER would I have thought searching online for a lawyer would have been the best choice; and luckily it was Garret who fought & represented us. I can now look for a job and have no worries it appearing on my background. I was blessed and thankful for the help of Garret Weinrieb. I RECOMMEND GARRET IN A HEARTBEAT, HE IS THE MAAAAAN!!!

This was a scary situation, I was involved with a woman I has just met and consensual sex turned into living nightmare. I had no idea the world of sh*t I was in and felt confused… that is, until I met Mr. Weinrieb. He took me in, explained the legal process step by step, and gave me clarity in a circumstance that was embarrassing and disconcerting. Knowledge truly is power – and comforting, because with Garret’s insight I have no idea how I would have gotten out of the worst experience of my life. Thank you Weinrieb Law Firm.

I was charged with a petty theft misdemeanor. I don’t know the first thing about hiring a lawyer, but after meeting with a couple of sleazy ones that made me feel hopeless I found Garret. I feel absolutely blessed to have had him represent me, not only is he a wonderful person, but he is great at his job. He was always very honest with me about my case and also really patient with all my questions and concerns. He did some research for me and found great resources and programs to help me and my case. After many meetings with the prosecutor Garret got me a great deal where my charge got dropped to an infraction trespassing and all I had to do was pay a fine. If you want a great lawyer who will work his butt off to get you the best possible outcome in your case then this is definitely the guy for you.

Today I see a light at the end of the tunnel. After being charged for petty theft because of my friend I was with, former friend now. I was facing immigration consequences and employment consequences. I live in Vegas and The charge was in CA. He never lied to me or made false promises. I never went to court and he was able to reduce my charge to disturbing the peace infraction which I believe has no immigration consequences. I am to do 15 days of community service and my case will be closed. This was the best outcome I could ask for. If you’re looking for a lawyer with a heart garret is your man. He was patient with all my questions and really does all he can for you . I will not hesitate to refer my fam and friends if they ever need a lawyer. Thank you garret for your patience and all you do for your clients. My future is not over because of you :)

I came across Garret’s name online while searching for an attorney. I ran into some trouble with the law and had four felony charges, one for burglary and three for possession. Garret gave me exceptional advice and worked diligently on my case. At my hearing, he got all my charges dropped under the condition that I perform community service hours and participate in a DEJ program. I am extremely happy with the outcome and would recommend Garret to anyone!
