Client Reviews

Tennille Duffy is an amazing, fierce, & hard-working attorney. From our initial meeting, she was very passionate about my situation and showed the utmost concern for my fear as this was the first time I found myself in a helpless position. I felt a range of emotions starting from nervousness to guilt, but Tennille had always communicated with me in such a personal level to where I was assured that I was in good hands. Throughout the entirety of my case, Tennille and her paralegal always kept an open line of communication with me and was extremely patient; I would receive updates from the firm as they came & felt very much in the loop at all times. Ultimately, Tennille got me an offer I didn’t even think would across the table! I am so very grateful for Tennille & the entire Summit team for the tireless effort they put towards my case.

Referred to these guys by my divorce attorney and I can’t be happier with the outcome. DUI dismissed and only a traffic ticket on my record.

By far the most professional team of criminal lawyers in the bay.  Managed to deliver on every promise while keeping me informed.

About a year into fighting a DUI, my attorney got ill and recommended Rabin Nabizadeh to do the trial.  I had pretty much refused to do any tests and wanted a dismissal in the case.  Mr. Nabizadeh was absolutely relentless and convinced 12 jurors to find me not guilty.  Years later, we are friends on Facebook.

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

Called a bunch of lawyers and got all sorts of quotes and promises. Rabin was different. I actually never hired this firm because he kept telling me I didn’t need a lawyer so not sure about skills but highly recommend for honesty.

I never imagined I would need a criminal lawyer (have had many other types) but Summit Defense is truly a gifted team of trial lawyers.  Collin Moore, Jessica and the whole firm were just amazing.  Highly recommend.  

Jason V

Very professional team of criminal lawyers.  Easy to reach and support staff (Jessica) was first rate.  Thank you for not giving up on my son and fighting for him despite all the issues presented.

Imram B

Would give them a hundred stars if I could.   It took 8 months to dismiss my case and throughout the whole process, this firm went above and beyond to get an amazing result and give me updates and communication.

Rabin was not my first experience with a criminal lawyer, but was certainly the best. Never before have I found the combination of competence and compassion, which is rarely found in professionals today. Frankly, getting arrested is a frightening experience, especially for someone who is living with the guilt of knowingly making a mistake. He handled my case as if it were unique, and to some extent, I felt as if I had serious limitations in what I could except as a penalty. Rabin worked tirelessly on my behalf appearing in court, taking the time to meet with me as needed to explain my the details of my case, & using his knowledge/skills to research regarding my limitations until he was finally able to negotiate and to reach an agreement to have me leniently penalized.   His fee, set at our first meeting, was fair and affordable and he worked well beyond what I thought I had paid him for.   I can say with absolute sincerity that this man helped me when I needed it most. I will never forget his kindness nor fail to appreciate his ability! Thank you so much Rabin and the entire Summit Defense team!

I was hopeless and ashamed when my daughter was arrested.  Having never even imagined dealing with a criminal case, I was panicked and paralyzed.  My co worker told me about Mr. Mchugh and provided his cell phone number.  Ryan was sympathetic honest and at the same time professional and pro active.  My daughter has moved on to better things and we know Ryan was a big part of that.

Barbara W

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.
