We truly appreciate the legal help & support we got from Atty Andrew Leventhal & Yvonne Rodriguez. They are a great team because they genuinely cared for my son (their client). They meticulously reviewed, analyzed, planned and executed a defense for my son's case which yielded a successful outcome. We are very happy with our experience with this Law Office and I highly recommend them.

Andrew Leventhal is one of the best, most professional, honest, aggressive, genuinely straight up criminal defense attorneys anyone can have. He’s truly passionate about what he does and he’s a beast at what he does. Andrew thrives at the challenges no matter the difficulty and complexity when most any other attorney would buckle and throw in the towel. He’s actually represented other BAR attorneys on criminal cases as well. Andrew’s track record of success and wins speaks for itself! If you contract him, he’ll work diligently to ensure the best outcome and he’s very communicative throughout the process. If your case requires a private investigator, subpoena complex records, doctor’s opinions, or whatever you need for your defense, he has the contacts to make it happen and he’ll go out of his way ensure your case is a success. Andrew has been recognized as being a powerhouse super top-rated attorney as well. I won’t discuss pricing as that varies on a case by case basis, but you won’t be disappointed with the quality and personalized attention him and his stellar firm will provide. I have the utmost faith and respect for Andrew Leventhal and I would sincerely trust him with my life if my life ever depended on it.

Andrew and Yvonne were great. Andrew is a great listener and communicates extremely well. I was impressed by his communication skills. He is very present and involved. Andrew answers phone calls, replies to text messages, and returns phone calls, which really goes a long way. He was able to deliver, and got our case dismissed. Amazing experience overall!

I was in a very difficult legal position in the summer of 2018. I was charged with serious felonies and the potential derailment of my future plans with my family. I am a combat veteran with who has been diagnosed with PTSD from the VA along with other conditions related to my time in service. I was fortunate enough to meet Andrew from another client of his that was a friend of mine. I explained my predicament which I thought was hopeless. Andrew put me at ease and explained to me that my situation was not hopeless and that he had several avenues of approach for a solid defense. He fought hard for me, harder than most others would. He would not take the easy route, he fights and uses every tool that is available. I couldn’t ask for a better Attorney; his tenacity was equal to the soldiers I fought alongside of in Afghanistan and Iraq. His perseverance got me the best possible outcome and I can now move forward with my life. I am thankful to have had him in my corner. If you want real piece of mind, Andrew Leventhal will give you that and more.

I cannot say enough good things about Andrew and his team. I had been scouting attorneys for my brother as he had been arrested and charged with a domestic violence offense. I wanted to ensure that my brother had the best of the best defending him in Court for a crime he was falsely accused of, and the best is certainly what we got. Andrew is experienced, talented, and knows the ins and outs of each and every Court he steps into. He exudes confidence both in and out of the courtroom and speaks passionately on behalf of his clients. Furthermore, he actually cares about the well-being of his clients. His genuine concern and care for my brother, his livelihood and the outcome of his case were very apparent throughout the entire process. He walked my brother through every aspect of the procedural process and made sure he understood everything that was happening. He has a passion for justice and fought tooth and nail without backing down for my brother; his case resulted in a complete dismissal and we could not have done it without him. His associate Yvonne was also fantastic in keeping myself and our family updated with the happenings in his case. Anytime I called with questions she was happy to take time and talk with me and was very knowledgeable about the proceedings. Andrew is an extremely remarkable lawyer and I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer.

I had an Intox in Public case and a lot was riding on this case- past probation, past history of DUI, my employment was on the line. I needed it dismissed. And my first attorney was not fighting for this. His approach was to plea no contest and be done with it. When I told him I could not take a no contest that I needed a dismissal he said I needed to install the ankle alcohol ankle monitor for one year because this will help him win the case. I actually went to the company and tried on the ankle bracelets. But my gut told me not to go through with it and to find a new attorney. I found Andrew Leventhal. I was in a bad place I was feeling real low and Andrew assured me he would fight for me. Unbelievably today he won my case. I am very thankful to God that I found Andrew and that he went to battle for me. Very supportive and very understanding guy. I am very grateful.

Andrew Leventhal is one of the most knowledgeable and passionate criminal attorneys out there. His years as a public defender have brought him a world of knowledge and experience in virtually all aspects of criminal defense. I have a very small circle of attorneys I would confidently refer cases to, and Andrew is without a doubt on that list.

Andrew Leventhal was highly recommended to my husband and I when my son was wrongly accused by his soon to be ex-wife on a domestic violence charge. The minute Andrew talked to my son he was immediately convinced that the charges were false and was prepared to do whatever it took to get the charges dropped. After several court dates, we did indeed go to trial. As I sat in court each day, I was in awe at the intense passion and knowledge that Andrew showed and I was so thankful that he was fighting for my son. He secured a NOT GUILTY verdict that not only gave my son the chance to leave a bad situation in the past, but gave him a new beginning with his two daughters. We owe so much to Andrew, who treated my son with so much respect and who we feel is a part of our family and definitely a friend for life. Thank you Andrew and Yvonne. You are the best!!

Andrew and Yvonne are two great attorney. They worked very hard on my case and get my case solved perfectly. They are really responsible and they do response very fast. I really appreciate their efforts. And special thanks to Yvonne since when Andrew is away, she's there every time when I need her. They are those attorneys I will definitely recommand.

Andrew is a man of his word, and an advocate like no other! Really came through when I needed him most. I was extremely fortunate to have him represent me in a petition to terminate probation, and dismissal of a criminal case. Genuine guy who has a passion for what he does. Don't look elsewhere, give Andrew a call.

Andrew is hardworking and cares about his clients. He took the time to take in all the details and explore my options. He pushed to get the best possible outcome at every step and achieved excellent results on my case. I don't think you can go wrong with him on your side.

Excellent attorneys! They got the job done quickly, affordably, and professionally. I highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of being represented by Andrew years ago when he was a public defender in Pasadena. I had no idea who I was given or what he was capable of but let me tell you back then he was just as passionate, hard working, and non judgmental as he is now.

Unfortunately, I had to call Andrew to save the day again!! Now, its 10 years later and I was facing a D.A. in Pasadena that was literally the least compassionate and not to mention was just out for blood. Every single person that went before not only got a tongue lashing but also got no break from her at all. Marlene Sanchez is her name and trust me when I say you don't just need a lawyer, YOU NEED ANDREW. I had tried to face her by my lonesome but as I went to each court date something changed from court date to court date. The public defenders were a far cry from public defender I was granted when Andrew was around. First it was community service. The next court date, I didn't have enough hours completed so, I made sure at my next date I had more than enough. So here I go with my "more than enough" hours and she tells me she has to reconsider my community service because of something she just found in my file! I had had 4-5 court dates prior, not once was there an issue. My public defender which had changed every time I was in court had no idea what has going on. No one would listen to me, no one would check the court reporters transcript, no one took notes, everyone blamed me for their mistakes.

That day I called Andrew. I explained my situation and he handled everything for me. I swear, when he walked in the courtroom the DA lit up like she had just seen JESUS. Every other attorney in the hallway kept telling me how great my lawyer was and how he was the best in California. I can't even tell you how much Andrew and The Leventhal Firm helped me, in the courtroom and OUT of the courtroom. He is an outstanding human being. Worth every single penny.

Andrew Leventhal of The Leventhal Firm successfully defended against six felony charges filed by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office. In preparing the defense, Mr. Leventhal and his colleague, Ms. Yvonne Rodriguez, discovered that the defendant’s 4 th Amendment rights had been violated, resulting in the disappearance of exonerating evidence. A Trombetta-Youngblood motion was thus filed. Subsequently, all charges were dismissed as the District Attorney did not have sufficient evidence to proceed. I would highly recommend retaining The Leventhal Firm in a criminal case. Retaining Andrew is your best defense.

If you need great service and a great lawyer and a person who will keep you in good hands, the only person that comes to mind is Andrew Levanthal. He represented me in court and went above and beyond for me and set my future back in tune!

Exceptional in all aspects. I went to Andrew and the Leventhal Firm over a year ago in need of legal expertise. Andrew was straightforward and kind from the start he told me where they would start and as things progressed he would keep me informed. Andrew and Yvonne are blessings they fought hard from the start and there persistence and dedication won in the end. Over a year with hundreds of communications and hundreds of hurdles and delays later Andrew and Yvonne kept me in the loop and handled everything in a brilliant matter they literally altered my life for the better. They truly care and are wonderful people and deserving of the highest praises I have to offer. Thank you to Andrew, Yvonne, and the entire Leventhal firm I will be forever grateful to your dedication and amazing work.

I’m not sure I can put my gratitude towards The Levanthal Firm into words, but I’m going to try. A mentally handicapped member of my family was, incredibly, arrested, along with another person. Andrew Levanthal and Yvonne Rodriquez of The Levanthal Firm swung into action, talking to their many police and prosecutor connections. They spent many hours advocating for this family member and convinced the prosecutors not to press charges. (The other person, who was represented by a different firm, had to take a felony plea deal.) I am so grateful to The Levanthal Firm. They were warm, understanding, and compassionate throughout the entire ordeal. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Andrew and Yvonne!

Andrew and Yvonne has impacted my life tremendously!
I must say that they have far exceeded my expectations during my time with them.
After ending up in an unfortunately precarious situation, I needed counsel to help defend my innocence. It was a traumatic time for me, I don’t live in the area where I was accused and had to find someone from area. I was accused of a felony! After my first phone call with Andrew, he assured me he would do everything he can to help me get through the case. Before I even sent him the payment for his retainer, Yvonne gave me a call to follow up on our conversation. Immediately she was already gathering the details from me. With the details collected, a letter was written to the DA’s office in efforts to have my case dropped. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. For several months, Yvonne provided guidance and acted as my therapist by providing emotional support. Andrew continued to communicate with me thoroughly and patiently explained each step of the process.
I went back one last time and finally a victory! Andrew worked his magic and got my case dismissed in furtherance of justice. I put my life and trust completely with Andrew and Yvonne and I could not be more grateful for their commitment to my innocence.
I read a bad review referring to a $800 cost for a lawsuit. I can assure they’re about 14-15 times for than that! This person must have mistaken the Levanthal firm for what they represent. I must say this was my first time in a situation like this and didn’t know what to expect, so I was sticker-shocked when I first heard. My life depended on them and to put things into perspective, the monetary aspect was well well spent.
Thank you for your patience and care for me during this time!

Where do I start? At the very beginning, shall we? Due to a bad snap judgement, I found myself in what seemed to be an awful entanglement with the law. As someone who has lived in this country for 27 years without ever getting in any trouble with the law, I was lost and a little frightened. I was referred to Andrew Leventhal by another attorney. When I called Andrew on the same day, and just over the phone, Andrew analyzed my situation very clearly and what options I would be staring at in the days ahead. Even over the phone, I heard a person who actually loves his job. When I met him in person the next day, I brought my husband with me. Now my husband is an attorney, so it was a little bit of one professional evaluating another professional in the industry. At our in-person meeting, Andrew again explained clearly and concisely what our options were, when and how he would tackle the case, exactly how much his retainer would be, and exactly what the retainer would cover. Andrew also did not make any far-fetched promises either. Amazingly enough, his demeanor was reassuring and warm, which is so unlike the grouchy lawyers who've been soaked in criminal law for too long. Halfway through the meeting, we retained Andrew as our criminal defense attorney.

In the following 2 months, we checked in on a weekly basis. Yvonne, Andrew's partner, always wrote back the same day. He's the Fighter, and she's the Cleric, and they seem to work together as smooth as butter. I never felt like I had any difficulty reaching either of them. I've had my days of mild panic, but I felt reassured because I knew Andrew and Yvonne were fighting on my behalf.

About 2 months after we first hired Andrew and Yvonne (and their crew), I got the victory phone call from Andrew literally in the nick of time. My family is in a much better position in our near future thanks to the hard work that Andrew and Yvonne have done. If anyone I know is ever in the kind of trouble that falls into Andrew and Yvonne's specialty, I'll be the first one to pass along their business cards.

Andrew is highly organized, effective, and knowledgeable. During our consultation he made sure to let me know of all possible situations and was cognizant of the costs associated.

The best professionals tend to be those with the most passion, and I've never seen more of it in a criminal defense attorney than I see in Andrew Leventhal. Giving people a second and third chance is Andrew's raison d'etre, and he delivers in the courtroom time and again with finesse.

I knew to call Andrew up when a friend of mine was in trouble with a deportable Class 2 misdemeanor in the State of Alabama. Although Andrew is not licensed to practice in the state, he took considerable time out of his insanely busy schedule to offer me solid, professional advice and direct me to one of the best Alabama defense lawyers.

Andrew went above and beyond my expectations. Simply put, I'd hire no one else to represent me in the event of a criminal matter in the State of California. His exhaustive knowledge of the law is what it takes to have cases dismissed, and his magnetic charisma is what it takes to win juries over. I cannot recommend his firm enough.

As a fellow criminal defense practitioner, I will say that if I were ever facing criminal charges, myself, the first person I would turn to would be Andrew. He is, indeed, a rare breed - passionate about his craft, highly knowledgeable, relentless in his advocacy, deeply caring and scrupulously honest. You simply cannot go wrong with Andrew. Highly recommended...

As a fellow tireless practitioner, I know what it takes to zealous represent your client. Andrew cares about his clients. Andrew will fight for his clients, both creatively and effectively. His passion for the law is incredible.

My son was accused of a crime that would negatively effect the rest his life. I was terrified about what was going to be the outcome of this nightmare. Andrew was highly recommended to me. From the very start, Andrew eased our upset and helped us to deal with the matter in a logical way. We liked the way Andrew communicated his plan, and explained every thing to us. He gained our confidence through our meetings in person and on the phone. He always got back to us if we had any questions. He proved his knowledge of the law in our final day in court. He told the DA what the law was and actually stopped the DA from adding another charge to my son's case. I recommend that you use Andrew Levanthal to represent you if you are in need of a lawyer.

Andrew Leventhal is a phenomenal criminal defense attorney. What do I mean by that? I mean he's not scared of anything or anybody. Prosecutor, judge, cop, whatever, it doesn't matter. He's willing to take them head on because he knows the law and the art of trial advocacy better than the all the wannabes out there. Don't settle for a criminal defense attorney that doesn't take pride in his work, and will simply take your money and plea you out at the first opportunity. Go with an intellectual, passionate, and aggressive gentleman who won't rest until he's earned your retainer, your respect, and your trust. Justice can't be attained through shortcuts. Andrew knows that, and that's why he fights the good fight.

TOP NOTCH defense attorney!! I seriously could not have survived the past 2 years without Andrew by my side to help me navigate the tangled mess of legal issues my family has experienced. Andrew will fight hard for his clients and watching him work his magic in court is incredible. Andrew’s personal devotion and authentic compassion shines through in everything he does.

Andrew Leventhal is a warrior in the courtroom. He has the knowledge, skill and passion to deliver the best results for his clients. I had the opportunity to work on a serious vehicular manslaughter case with Mr. Leventhal. He was instrumental in preparing the cross examination of the witnesses at the preliminary hearing which ultimately lead to some charges being dismissed and saving my client years in prison. I highly recommend Mr. Leventhal.

I have followed this young man's career from the start. His unique combination of conceptual knowledge of the law, creative approaches to his cases and practical advice for his clients make him a highly effective lawyer. His stats are phenomenal, even under challenging circumstances, and if he does not win a case outright chances are he will mitigate your damage. In today's penal system, you need someone who can pull your feet from the fire if you are in trouble. Mr. Leventhal takes a personal, vested interest in his clients.

The Leventhal Firm has helped me and my family with numerous cases that have all come out with positive results. I will be using their lawyers and attorneys for anytime I am in Pasadena, California.

In 18 years of practice, I've endorsed no more than a handful of lawyers. I endorse Andrew with pleasure. I've seen Andrew argue before the courts on several occasions. He is thoughtful, smart, prepared and hates losing. He is a fighter. As a fellow criminal defense lawyer, I appreciate a lawyer that's earned the respect of the bench. Andrew is one of a few.
