Hired Attorney Tsion Chudnovsky

I have been referring clients to Chudnovsky Law for years and Ms Chudnovsky always takes great care of them. Her law firm's team includes some the the best criminal defense lawyers in Southern California. I have found all her lawyers to be professional and very competent. She also handles professional license matters for medical, nursing, pharmacy, and other healthcare licensees. I recommend Tsion and Chudnovsky Law to anyone needing a great lawyer!

Hired Attorney Melissa DuChene

Thank you Melissa for always be responsive and helping me through everything. You're a great listener, always positive and supportive. Even though we were dealing with covid, I felt like I got a personal experience, and an excellent outcome on my case. I am ready to move on from this and couldn't have done it without you!

Hired Attorney Melissa DuChene

Even though I find myself intimidated by attorneys, I found this law firm to be very effective and easy to work with. I was very comfortable with Melissa Duchene representing me. Her friendly demeanor put me at ease, and her clear expertise at handling nurse DUI cases made me feel very well represented. She was always respectful, kind, and hyper focused on protecting me and my nursing license. Thank you for everything Melissa!

Hired Attorney Melissa DuChene

Melissa and her entire team at Chudnovsky Law are a pleasure to work with. I found Melissa to be an excellent medical license defense attorney that helped me get past an unfortunate incident. Her expertise and calm demeanor really helped me relax and have confidence in the outcome I could expect. She was strategic in how she worked to resolve the case as favorably as possible. And Melissa was always responsive as needed by phone and text as we progressed through the process. I have experience with many types of lawyers, and Melissa exhibited a high level of competence and professionalism when I needed it most. I recommend her without reservation.

Hired Attorney Melissa DuChene

I was referred to Melissa Duchene by another attorney I know. He connected us for my nursing issue and gave her the highest recommendation. This has turned out to be one of the best referrals I've ever received...Melissa has been a lifesaver! She is an expert in defending healthcare workers and was very effective in resolving my matter. She's been so supportive and helpful at every step in the process. She carefully coached and prepared me for a high stakes interview that turned out to be critical. Thank you Melissa! I don't know what I would have done without you! ❤

Hired Attorney Kareem Aref

In my experience, Melissa Duchene is very good at explaining the process, risks and how the case is likely to play out. I could tell the board investigator respects her and likes working with her. And I always felt Melissa genuinely cares about me and my family and was thinking about our best interests. She did a great getting the investigation closed without any kind of discipline. I can highly recommend her for any kind of professional license matter.

Hired Attorney Kareem Aref

Our son got charged in an unfair legal matter that was blown way out of proportion. We were fortunate to have Mr Aref handling the case. He explained everything very clearly in language we all could understand. And he was great at helping us see the forest through the trees and find our way out of the mess. We were all very impressed with Kareem's background and how the DA worked with him. In the end he was able to get the case dismissed. From our experience, we found Kareem to be a highly skilled criminal defense attorney that made us feel very well protected in the system. Hire him, you'll be in very capable hands!

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
