Hired Attorney Robert Weinberg

It is unlikely you’ll find a more effective professional license defense attorney in California than Robert Weinberg. He did an exceptional job resolving a nurse license matter for my husband. He really got him out of a very tight spot. Robert is very knowledgable about the Board of Registered Nursing and how to resolve DCA investigations. We will happily refer him to anyone in need of a good licensing lawyer.

Hired Attorney Tsion Chudnovsky

Excellent experience from start to finish. My partner was arrested for a felony criminal charge and I found Mr Weinberg after searching online for a well reviewed attorney. He responded quickly on a Saturday and helped immediately arrange bail at a discounted bond fee. You can tell Robert really cares and he knew the DA in our case...which turned out to be a big bonus. You feel protected and respected with him representing you. He has a lot of gravitas with prosecutors and judges. We always felt like he was very skilled at handling our case and gave very sage advice on what to do every step of the way. Long story short, he got the charge dismissed. Thank you!

Hired Attorney Tsion Chudnovsky

A special thank you to Tsion Chudnovsky. My case was serious and I only had a few days to hire a criminal defense attorney for a Newport Beach felony case. I called Tsion on Sunday and she met me that day! She was very competent and compassionate and reassured me at a tough time. She clearly explained everything and after a couple months of hard work was able to resolve the case amazingly for me. I highly recommend Chudnovsky Law if you need an top criminal defense lawyer.

Hired Attorney Robert Weinberg

I found Robert Weinberg online and could tell right away after we met that he is an expert defense attorney. The way he analyzed my case and explained the defense strategy he would use blew me away. I was ready to just give up and was surprised with all the defense options available to me. Take it from me, the right defense attorney can make a huge difference in the outcome of your case. Hire Robert if you need a top notch defense attorney that will fight smart for you.

Hired Attorney David Stein

David Stein didn’t just represent me—he stood with me. From the moment David took on my case, I knew I wasn’t just hiring an attorney. I was gaining a fierce advocate, a strategic mind, and a steady presence during one of the most emotionally exhausting chapters of my life. What makes David exceptional isn’t just his legal skill (though that alone is formidable). It’s the way he listens, processes, and then crafts a path forward with care and clarity. He doesn’t grandstand. He doesn’t get rattled. He works. Quietly, relentlessly, and with a level of preparation that is second to none. Nothing was overlooked—every document, every inconsistency, every word spoken in court. David caught things others missed. And then he used them—calmly, decisively—to dismantle the case against me piece by piece. There were moments during the process where things felt overwhelming. But David never lost focus. He never let me feel alone in it. He was honest when things were hard.

Hired Attorney Kareem Aref

I hired Kareem to help me with an expungement of a misdemeanor nearly 10 years ago. I am applying for grad school and wanted to take care of this right away. He found an error that had been made and was quick to get it taken care of. He was very easy to work with and incredibly helpful. His compassion and professionalism are well above the best. He gave me a clear explanation of what needed to be done, how long it would take and what I should expect. I absolutely cannot say enough about how well he handled my case. Thanks to his work and attention to my case, he was able to get this case closed and cleared much faster than expected, at a great price and I can now move forward with my life and grad school. Thank you so much Kareem for helping me out. I am forever grateful!

Hired Attorney David Stein

I can confidently say David Stein is an outstanding attorney. He worked so hard to resolve my case. I found him to always be very prepared for court and thinking three steps ahead of the prosecutor. And he seems to really enjoy trying to outmaneuver the DA and win your case. A great guy to have on your side when your backs to the wall.
