Over the years, he has received extensive training by the California Department of Justice, Bureau of Forensic Services, in all aspects of DUI cases.

“My experience with Pezhman as my lawyer was nothing but great. I was arrested on a few criminal charges and Pezhman helped me feel reassured and less stressed about my case from the beginning. He’s an intelligent and knowledgeable lawyer and choosing him as your attorney is a choice you will not regret ! If I ever would recommend an attorney to someone or if I ever needed an attorney again in the future, Pezhman would definitely be a first choice!”
“Pezhman is a good man! He’s very bright, and a very sharp and helpful lawyer. Pezhman worked with me regarding a very serious legal matter, and I could not have asked for a better attorney. I highly recommend him for criminal defense matters.”
“Mr. Pakneshan is a great attorney with a vast amount of knowledge and experience. He was able to answer all my questions in a timely matter and listened to all my concerns with a professional attitude. I highly recommend his services.”
Knowing how the prosecutor thinks gives him the opportunity to develop an effective defense designed to counter the government’s strategy.
Time and again, Mr. Pakneshan has gained dismissals, acquittals and reductions for his clients.
Judges and prosecutors respect him because he knows exactly how the system works and he never allows them to take advantage of his clients.
