Client Testimonials

I haven't written a review in while but Rabin's help in securing a restraining order against a crazy neighbor was truly invaluable. After two years of constant issues, I seriously felt helpless until a friend recommended Rabin from Summit Defense. I am incredibly thankful for the support and resolution he provided!

I myself have a lot of trouble with understanding the legal process but it didn't matter because summit defense was able to educate me on the topic as well as give me the confidence that my situation will be resolved in the best and quickest way possible. Thank you to the crew and to whoever needs their services just know you'll be in great care!

I cannot recommend this law firm enough. We were searching for the best criminal defense team to fight a serious case involving a violation of the 4th Amendment. My fiance was facing a loaded firearm charge with felony priors, and we needed the strongest legal representation possible.
I was referred by a former professor (now my mentor), and after leaving a voicemail, Rabin personally returned my call within 30 minutes even outside of office hours. He immediately gave us the best deal possible, explained the process in detail, and was upfront about the odds we were facing. At the same time, he made us feel confident that we had the right team on our side.
Aaron was the attorney who worked closely with us throughout the case. He was incredibly communicative, consistently updated us, and gathered every piece of information needed to build the strongest defense. Thanks to his dedication, skill, and persistence, Aaron got the case dismissed with ease.
Both Rabin and Aaron went above and beyond, and we are deeply grateful for their hard work as well as the entire team working behind the scenes. If you or anyone you know needs a criminal defense lawyer, this is the firm you want by your side. They truly fight for their clients, and the results show!
Thank you, Rabin and Aaron, for everything!
