We are blessed to have Ardalon represent our family. If you want someone who is informed and insightful, and uses his experience and tactics to get you the most favorable result, I recommend hiring Ardalon. He handles everything from the consult all the way to the end of your case; all you have to do is listen and follow his advice. Trust that he will get you the best possible result. He has now helped multiple people in my family get their cases resolved.

First off, my apologies for a review that’s long past due. I hired Ardalon in 2017 for a DUI in Manhattan Beach. I was looking for the best DUI lawyer in Manhattan Beach, and when I found Ardalon, I knew he was who I would hire. I got into a small accident and thankfully no one was injured. I thought the worst of what would become of me in court. I was ecstatic when Ardalon called me and said he was able to get my DUI reduced to a wet reckless. I went to court once with Ardalon and could see he was well connected with everyone and well respected. I think he’s the best DUI attorney in Torrance court. I consider myself fortunate, both for my great lawyer and my great results.

Top notch DUI and criminal lawyer in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. I got a DUI in Redondo Beach and went through an absolute nightmare with 2 cops that treated me like a stray dog. I had bruising around my wrists from the cuffs. I don’t get why they have to be so rough for no reason. Ardalon was great to work with and he’s been doing this long enough to know just what I meant about how I was treated. He did a motion in court and got some background info on the cop in my case that ended up helping get an amazing settlement deal on my case. Ardalon just the type of smart and energetic criminal lawyer anyone would want to have on their side.

I searched the Torrance Area for the best DUI lawyer and my pick was ardalon fakhimi at california criminal defense center. during my consult, he was very knowledgeable about the inner workings of torrance court and how things work in that courthouse. i was impressed by his frankness and how he seemed to think of every angle to take on my case. He sounded like he could be trusted. I went to court with him and saw that we was like a fixture there. Everyone seemed to know him and he was in command of things which was reassuring. He got 3 of my charges dismissed and one of my charges reduced so I was very impressed with his work.

My experience with Mr. Fakhimi’s law office was eye opening and a big learning process for me. I was in a accident and charged with a DUI in the South Bay. I wanted the best DUI lawyer in Torrance and Mr. Fakhimi left a positive impression on me after a very informative consultation. He answered every Dui related question I asked him without missing a beat. His results in court were equally impressive. He got 3 of my charges dismissed and I pleaded no contest to only 1 charge. I didn’t have to do any jail or community service. He got my fines reduced by about 75% and that was another big surprise. I really just had to do a DUI class and the DMV was making me to do that anyways.

I found California Criminal Defense Center after searching on the Internet for the best DUI lawyer in Los Angeles. I hired this firm after my initial consultation with the owner, Mr. Ardalon Fakhimi. The discussion went better than expected.  He was very plain talking and honest. It felt comfortable and I could tell the information I was getting was reliable.  I didn't bother looking for others after that. He won my hearing for my license suspension and I didn’t ever have to stop driving which was a big help to me because of my travel distance to work. In court, my lawyer called in the officer to testify about why he arrested me.  The judge believed that the officer didn’t have the authority to arrest me and my case was completely dismissed.  I wasn’t expecting that result at all, but it turned out to be an amazing day. Ardalon never lost his composure and never stopped fighting for me. I would recommend him to anyone looking for the best DUI Criminal lawyer around.

I hired this office because they did not make a bunch of false promises they might not be able to keep. Mr. Fakhimi said that it would be impossible to size up my case without seeing the police report.  I wasn’t given empty promises just to get my money.  Instead, I was spoken to honestly and what I was told made perfect sense. I was given several different scenarios of how things could turn out depending on the facts of my case.  This was also very helpful.  Ardalon only promised me that he would not stop fighting for me until he got the very best outcome possible on my case.  He reached a settlement agreement with the city prosecutor where I would do a short class and they would then dismiss my case. Ardalon kept his word and fought hard. He really did get me the best outcome possible on my case.

Ardalon Fakhimi is a skilled criminal lawyer with an obvious passion for his job. He was committed to my case and had my charges reduced sooner than expected. I wanted everything to be finished quickly and I just wanted closure to get some relief from all the stress.  He worked as quickly as he could but didn’t sacrifice quality.  He was present every time I had court and spent a lot of time explaining things to me in a way I could understand every time we went to court. He helped me out through everything and it has made a big difference in my life.

After Mr. Fakhimi was hired to represent me, he quickly put strong efforts into investigate my situation to find the best path to take. He is a truly exceptional and high-quality attorney. He’s been nothing but straight with me and has been working hard to deliver excellent service in a professional manner. My case is still ongoing but I’m very impressed with the quality of Mr. Fakhimi’s work and I know I’m in good hands. He has already made great progress on my case.

I hired Ardalon for my brother with his 4th DUI case in Los Angeles. He reverted his felony charges to Misdemeanor. He is also very reasonable with pricing. I highly recommend Ardalon to anyone. He wont let you down.

They were very good at explaining to me everything I could expect to happen and to come up with a good plan of attack. They were very patient in informing me about how everything works and were good about making sure I understood everything. They repeated some of the confusing things to me several times and never made me feel rushed or foolish for not getting it the first time. That is why i decided to hire them. They remained just as helpful to me until my case was finished. I have no idea how I could have made it without them.

The California Criminal Defense Center was a Godsend. Great people to hire if you got a DUI. Mine was reduced to an “exhibition of speed” and the DUI charge was dropped . Highly recommended

Mr. Fakhimi is the consummate professional, always adhering to the highest level of dedication to his clients and commitment to the defense of those charged with criminal violations.  He is a principled criminal defense lawyer who will stop at nothing to ensure the protection of his clients. I have referred many cases to him. He is a stalwart advocate.

Words cannot express how thankful I am to Mr. Fakhimi and his firm for doing such a bang up job on my case!

False accusations of domestic violence by my vindictive ex were thrown out of court because of the awesome lawyer I had fighting on my side. The restraining order against me was also thrown out. Great great lawyer.

Top notch legal defense for DUI case. I had an amazing lawyer with a good head on his shoulders. Do yourself a favor and contact him.

Hands down the best criminal defense attorney out there!  Great to work with even under bad circumstances . . . especially under bad circumstances.  He’s saved me twice now.

Here was my checklist for find a lawyer who could get me the best results:
Was my consult helpful?  YES
Good Reputation? YES
Experienced? YES
Do they only do criminal cases? YES
Do they work a lot in the court where my case is? YES
Are the prices reasonable? YES
Likely to respond to me and stay in touch? YES
Any hidden fees? NO
Have they handled cases like mine before? YES
Does this person really seem to care? YES
Is this person a fighter? YES
This office seemed perfect for me and it later turned out they were.  They delivered on all of the above.  They didn’t make me promises they couldn’t keep.  They were genuine and very good to me.  They got a very good outcome for me.

Very good representation by wonderful lawyer.  I am happy with my results.  I recommend.

Posting reviews isn’t really my thing, but i was really happy with the way Ardalon helped me with my case.  He was totally on top of his game and was always available to answer my questions.  He never pawned me off to his assistant or another lawyer.  He took person interest in my case and made sure I was taken care of.  I had a lot of stress thinking about how badly the charges could impact my job, career, future, etc. After 4 months of being on my case I get a call one day from Ardalon saying charges got dismissed.  I felt like i could breathe again.

I was arrested for a bad DUI and my brother in law texted me the phone number 1800duiKing and told me to call them. I called and spoke with the owner for a long time. He was very informative and helpful. I hired them. Terrific case results.  I’d use them again if I’m ever dumb enough to get another one.

I got arrested for DUI in Sherman Oaks after getting into a tiny fender bender.  I also got an anxiety attack when the cops arrived, making matters worse.  My alcohol level was not very high but it was over the legal limit.  They tried to make me look like a drunk lunatic and I’m not.  It was just bad circumstances made worse by poor judgement and anxiety.  Mr. Fakhimi was patient with me and understanding of my situation. Most importantly, he was honest with me.  Didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear.  Just told me the pros and cons and then promised to fight relentlessly on my behalf to get the best outcome.  That was his only promise.  He delivered.  My case was reduced significantly which I’ve come to learn is unlikely when an accident is involved.  My sincerest compliments and gratitude to one fine lawyer - Mr. Fakhimi.

My drug DUI was dismissed! Not reduced, but dismissed. I hired Mr. Fakhimi and I did nothing else. I just waited. A few times I had some concern if he was still handling my case because a few months had gone by. I emailed him and got a reply almost instantly letting me know he has everything covered. I guess its true that good things come to those who wait. I couldn’t have dreamt of a better outcome or a better lawyer.

I was referred to Ardalon from another law firm that didn’t do criminal cases. I was going through some personal issues and i ended up getting 2 DUIs back to back. One of my DUIs had high blood alcohol content and small accident. I thought for sure I’d be locked up and forgotten. I was freaking out. Ardalon was a Godsend. He handled EVERYTHING from my criminal cases to the DMV hearings, from dealing with my insurance to the breathalyzer, etc. I did’t spend a day in jail and Ardalon got all my fines eliminated. I had 2 very weak cases, but one very good result. I’m really happy with Ardalon’s services. Several people in my DUI class asked for his business card, lol.

My fiancé and I found ourselves in a scary legal situation we never thought we’d be in. Our situation was made even more concerning as a result of having recently had a new baby. We searched tirelessly for a good criminal lawyer who could help us. We called countless lawyers for consul. Some sounded good and some were a joke. We were referred by a friend to Mr. Fakhimi. Before we called him, we looked online and saw a great reputation. When we called, we were immediately impressed by both his knowledge and his candor. Nothing he said was sales-pitchy. It was just matter-of-fact and honest. We were very stressed out. He helped settle our nerves by reassuring us that there was a painless was out of our mess. He kept saying, “let me worry about the details and try to put the stress of this behind you.” We weren’t very involved in our case. He sensed our stress and didn’t over-burden us. We got out of his way and let him do his thing. One day, we got a call from him telling us the details about how our case was to be resolved. It no longer required any criminal charges! We were elated and it felt as though the weight of the work had been lifted from our shoulders. We were fortunate to have found such a good person and lawyer who was sensitive to what we were going through. We would recommend him in a blink.

Ardalon is like a battle commander! He knows how to execute the right moves at the right time. He handled my DUI case with true expertise and never fell short in answering my countless questions about my DUI. I was lost and confused about what all there ramifications of the DUI would be, and reading materials online only worsened my confusion. Every time I called, Ardalon patiently and clearly answered my questions and was careful to make sure I understood the whole process. Many of the lawyers I had previously consulted with either would give me vague answers or said they’d have to research the issue. In contrast Ardalon had all the knowledge and answers ready to recite. My charges were reduced to speed exhibition charge. He’s a great lawyer!

Mr. Fakhimi is a well informed and intuitive criminal lawyer. His work is second nature to him. Our family hired Mr. Fakhimi to defend against false criminal accusations made by an angry and manipulative neighbor. There was a hearing in court. The neighbor’s many lies were exposed inside the courtroom, thanks to Mr. Fakhimi’s outside-the-box thinking and approach. The judge denied the neighbor’s request for a restraining order. The city attorney had also brought separate criminal charges against one of us, which was completely dismissed due to what happened during the restraining order hearing. Mr. Fakhimi told us it would be unlikely, but he still attempted to get the neighbor charged for filing a false police report. He worked really hard for us during a really tough time for out family.

I hired California Criminal Defense Center for my DUI and criminal charge. Two very important things you should know: 1. I never went to court, and 2. I never got convicted. The worst that happened to me was that my drivers license got suspended for 30 days, but I had expected much worse to happen. I don't really know how they did it, but they did top notch work and they delivered amazing results. I was also kept routinely updated with the progress of my case. This is a high-end criminal law firm that does not disappoint. I give them my highest recommendation.

I hired Ardalon shortly after being arrested in Los Angeles for driving under the influence. Not only did he squeeze me into his schedule that same day, but he treated me with the utmost respect throughout the process. As much as I dreaded facing the situation, Ardalon and his staff were always there to calm my nerves and explain the process no matter how many times I asked. These folks are patient and very thoughtful! This was my first offense ever, so I really appreciated their kindness and attentiveness in getting my case ready for court. I took comfort in knowing that Ardalon is deeply entrenched in the LA community and has a stellar reputation. In court, I could see that Ardalon was very respected by court personnel. He was able to get my case dramatically reduced thanks to his tenacity and determination to do the utmost for his client.

Ardalon Fakhimi represented me and did an outstanding job. I feel that he was extremely professional dealing with my case. I would strongly recommend hiring Ardalon to represent you. He is the best out there!

As an educated man with no criminal history, I never thought I would face criminal charges. I’ve spent almost 2 years battling felony charges, during which time I got to know Ardalon quite well. He helped me through a long process of dealing with a torrent of difficulties for over two years. He was by my side during the many times that I needed his assistance, and was always available to take my calls. At times, I was rather high maintenance. Yet, Ardalon dealt with my frustration, anger, paranoia, fear and doubts in a masterful way. His manner in interacting with the DA and the judge was impressive to say the least. I consider my defense to have been a huge success thanks to Ardalon’s hard work. Anyone would be very well served with him by their side.
