Dont call anyone else if you are in need of a criminal lawyer. I have not used his services (thankfully) but my clients have and I do not hesitate to recommend Don to others that need his brand of legal expertise. Don is especially passionate about helping people clear up their past mistakes so they can move on with their lives and not be held back by a criminal record that no longer reflects who they are.

Sometimes I really hate being right. When it comes to my fiance for instance. I have often warned him about being a hothead that doesn't know when to shut up. Sure enough, his smart mouth got hom into hot water, and when someone called the police, he tried talking himself out of trouble but only dug a deeper hole.

There's no doubt the charges are trumped up but now we're stuck cleaning up this mess. Good thing we were referred to Mr. Hammond for help. He let us know what the situation is and how things could work out. Of course there are no guarantees but I am feeling much better about things after meeting with him. The legal system is not a friendly place to find yourself so you definitely need an expert like Mr. Hammond to help you navigate the system and not get swallowed up by it.

I put off seeing a lawyer about a problem but I finally couldn't ignore it any more. My only experience with lawyers before hasn't been very good so I was pretty nervous about making an appointment and having the meeting. But Don is a really nice guy and I instantly felt a lot better knowing that he was going to be on my side. I don't know yet how things are going to turn out but I have a lot more optimism about it than I have in a long time.

The great magnificent attorney Donald Hammond was a great asset for me at my parole sutiability hearing in May 2015. For the first time I felt as if I was not alone in the hearing and I had someone who believed in my progress as a person and fought to make sure that the BPH got the same picture. He was so good. The Psych report my last BPH panel said was not favorable to support my parole, is the same report I used this hearing and it was found to be favorable and supportive of my parole. Go figure. It is my suggestion that more people hire Don Hammond and attend his Legal Clinics to get all the information they need to come home. At my hearing, the BPH commissioners were not too familiar with Fair Chance Project. Thanks to Don Hammond, they know now. He sold them the value of what this great organization does. The presiding commissioner said she would visit Fair Chance Project next times she is in Inglewood. **This review is quoted and paraphrased from a letter that the client sent to Fair Chance Project after he was found suitable for parole.
