Felony and trial client reviews

“I will never forget the call I got about my son’s arrest for murder. Having never been through anything like that, I relied on my business lawyer for a referral and he immediately called Mr. Riley. Within minutes of meeting him, I knew I was in good hands as he was able to provide much needed perspective. Mr. Riley was able to reduce the bail (was set at one million) and after almost two years, resolve the case with no additional jail and an eventual dismissal. Collin Moore and the rest of the gang were amazing and always available.”

“Collin Moore pulled off a miracle. We had all given hope given the judge saying he would sent my brother to 9 years in prison over and over. We hired Collin because he was recommended by a friend who is a lawyer. Collin got all the files from los angeles and convinced the judge to give my brother probation and drug treatment. Amazing lawyer”

“I was faced with two misdemeanors that triggered a felony probation violation, not to mention the toughest DA in the South bay. The Felony probation alone would have easily fetched 9 months. In addition, the DA wanted an additional year for the two misdemeanors. However with Rabin Nabizadeh, taking the lead on this case along with Ross Pytlik and their tenacious manner, we have been able to settle this entire case with more favorable terms than i would have ever imagined. Because of their hard work and unwillingness to give up on me, i’ve been able to keep my professional position with my employer and am able to continue to pay for my children’s university tuition. Needless to say, I would immediately recommend Summit Defense to any friend that faces any kind of legal issue.”

“Best criminal lawyers in Oakland. My case went to trial and I cant imagine where I would be without their help. Jim Riley is a genius and was always clearly the most knoweldgeble person in court. Obviosly I am very happy with the result.”

Nirvesh R.

“Can’t speak highly enough of Rabin Nabizadeh. Attentive, calm and very good at his craft. Managed to handle my severe anxiety and, at the end, get the case dismissed on the day of trial. Highly recommend.”

“I had an extremely stressful and hostile criminal case situation and contacted Summit Defense immediately after everything happened. After hearing my situation, attorney Rabin Nabizadeh was very direct and realistic about how the case would likely proceed, and in the end the overall outcome unfolded very close to what he initially predicted. Even though there was very aggressive opposition and the process became highly contested, Rabin stayed calm, strategic, and extremely prepared throughout the entire case. He was able to cut through a lot of emotional and exaggerated arguments and keep the focus on the actual legal issues and protecting my rights. What stood out most to me was that when things became extremely difficult and stressful, he never seemed rattled or lost control of the situation. He was always several steps ahead procedurally and strategically. Most importantly, he fought to achieve the best realistic outcome possible under very difficult circumstances, and I genuinely believe the result would have been much worse without such an experienced counsel. Highly recommend for serious defense matters.”

“Amazing lawyers! Got my bail reduced and I was out while they did their thing and managed to do more than I expected. I owe my life to Rabin Nabizadeh.”
