Hired Attorney Mr. Jason David Karpel

I recently went to trial for suspicion of DUI. I was faced with 6-15 years in state prison because of past offenses. My lawyer, Jason, put in 5 motions to dismiss or suppress before going to trial. During trial he overcame over 70 objections that were overruled and the jury came back with a decision of not guilty! My experience with Jason has been nothing but positive. I highly recommend Jason as a fantastic lawyer and a great person as well!

Hired Law Firm

I am beyond grateful for this law firm. All of the lawyers that worked on my case were very professional, informative, understanding, and patient with me. Michael Alarid worked with me through the remainder of my case. He made sure I had the best possible outcome and saved me from a very difficult life. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. I recommend this law firm to anyone.

Hired Attorney Ms. Christine C. Whalin

Recently was charged with a DUI and Christine was able to find an issue with my stop, which lead to a better result than what was offered by the prosecutor. So glad I went with her, especially since the first attorney I spoke with advised me to take the plea.

Working with Jason was a pleasure. His ability to paint an optimistic and realistic picture of our situation was helpful in knowing what was coming next. He represented us and our case with professionalism, and was friendly and pleasant to work with. I would recommend him, and DM Cantor's other attorneys, without reserve.

Hired Attorney Mr. Jason David Karpel

Knowledge of the law and how to fairly and appropriately apply it is crucial to winning your case. Jason Karpel not only did this, he was able to use his knowledge and have my charge dismissed at trial. If you’re looking for someone to provide you with fair, open and honest, timely communication, and to take your case as seriously as you do then don’t hesitate to call to Jason and DM Cantor. I am glad I did.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
