Called up and spoke with Alejandro who got me a meeting the following day, which was super fast. During the consultation they went over all aspects of the situation and helped me feel not so lost in regards to my predicament.The team was very genuine and honest and made the next steps very clear and what to expect moving forward.Definitely would recommend the team at Elite Criminal Defense.

Manny has truly lifted a heavy weight off my shoulders when it comes to my case.

This law firm offers affordable pricing and reasonable payment plans, making it accessible for those in need. If you’re facing a felony charge, I genuinely encourage you to reach out to Manny. He will be there for you every step of the way, providing the help and compassion you deserve.

A lawfirm that cares. Sounds crazy right? They helped me with 2 cases at once. Gave me a great price on the felony case. I accidently brought a gun into court. Very stupid mistake. Although the gun had no magazine and no bullets and I have no history of gun-violence, the court is still trying to put a felony on me. I have not seen the results yet but I have faith they will deliver.

Wow.. where to even begin. I am amazed and immensely grateful for Elite Criminal Defense. From start to finish, I was at ease throughout the entirety of this process. Manuel is an incredible attorney and an even greater person with immense knowledge and experience after meeting with him. Not to mention, but the ladies up front are so friendly and welcoming. They will take care of you, I guarantee it! I genuinely cannot say anymore amazing things about this law firm and the wonderful team behind Elite Criminal Defense! :)If I could give them 100 stars, I would!

Manuel made me feel comfort within the first 5 minutes of speaking to him. Not worried about my case at all and I was freaking out about it before speaking to Manuel. Best attorney at the firm, I’m sure is filled with amazing coworkers. I can only speak for Manuel but I am beyond grateful how they have treated me, the hospitality the attention to detail which is what you want your lawyer to be good at is the small details which is what wins the case. Thank you so much guys! Hope I don’t have to use you guys again but if I do you know I wouldn’t go anywhere else. WORTH IT!!!!!!

Manny Scribner’s professionalism, aswell as outstanding communication has been outstanding from the first time I sat in his office until present day. The results have been nothing but great as him being the head of my defense team. He takes any second out of his day to make time for me if need be. It’s a very fair price to pay for a great defense team. If any family or friends have legal stuff occur, I would only recommend going to this Elite Criminal Defense.

Manuel absolutely took the wheel of my case so I could focus on other stressors in my life. They are extremely friendly and critically thinking. He really took the time to understand my problem and made me feel defended. Outstanding service and a genuine Thank You to the Elite Criminal Defense team. Great human beings!

I've only personally spoken with Carlos and Manuel Scribner thus far, but I've received nothing but exceptional treatment, generous help, and honesty. I would definitely recommend looking to this firm if I'm need of Criminal Defense/Post-Conviction Relief representation. I'm both excited and hopeful to see what comes of doing business with them, and have been treated with nothing but kindness and understanding from the first phone call I'd made to them.

I would recommend them to anyone they handle my case with care and care that i was afraid to go to court so there went in for me and deal with all-my problems. I thank them so much. I would use them again if i had a problem again. Thank god for y'all. I was totally afraid and y'all did your things.

I had several charges, moving and non moving. At first I seemed iffy when I was looking for lawyers to represent me, and when I gave Elite Criminal a call, I was met on the line by Carlos. I remember the whole consultation over the phone and in person made me feel very assured and that I was in good hands. The one person that stuck with me through this whole thing whenever I needed answers to questions, was Manny. He went above and beyond quite literally. I couldn’t thank him enough along with the entire team representing me in court. They’ve represented me in the DMV hearing I had and was able to get my license back. My court case is pending but I’m 1000% sure I’m in good hands and everything will turn out fine. Thank you Elite Criminal.

I had an amazing experience. They handled my legal issues in a timely manner and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From the start, it was clear that they truly care about their clients and take the time to understand each situation. Not only did they provide excellent service, but their pricing was also very affordable, especially for the level of professionalism and expertise they offer. If you’re looking for a law firm that is reliable, compassionate, and cost-effective, I highly recommend !

Called this office to ask if they offered free consultation to ask for some advise and to get some clarification on a few concerns. Right away got an appointment with Manuel Scribner for the same day. He was really kind, honest and so helpful. I was really surprised to see that he even checked up days later. I appreciated his transparency in not just wanting to take advantage of a person in their weak moment. Manuel was so down to earth and he really enjoys helping people, thus enjoys his job. Thanks, Manuel!

I had the pleasure of working with Alejandro Rodriguez and was thoroughly impressed with his professionalism and expertise. He took the time to listen to my concerns, provided clear and thoughtful advice, and made the entire process much easier to navigate. His responsiveness and dedication to my case were exceptional. Highly recommended!

Best experience ever! I had to find a criminal lawyer for my Brother New Year’s Day with his arraignment set for Friday. They scheduled me a sit down the day after New Years. Manny went above and beyond with a video call to my mother (while she’s living in Las Vegas) reassuring her that they will persue the best possible outcome for my brother. Highly recommend these guys!

First off, I wanna start off by saying Manny is so super awesome, He came like batman at the night 2 days before the christmas holiday.He stopped what he was doing with his family. To reach out to me about my case.So highly grateful to have met Manny he have a heart pure of gold with such understanding and kindness!!

I chose elite criminal defense to represent my DUI case and haven’t regretted it since. Very communicative and my lawyer went the extra mile and got all of my tickets dismissed as well. Definitely made the whole case and court process a lot easier. I would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable law firm to represent them.

I had the pleasure of working with Manny, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the beginning, Manny was incredibly professional, attentive, and responsive. He took the time to listen to my concerns and provided clear, practical advice that made me feel confident throughout the process. His knowledge and expertise were evident in every step, and he always made sure I understood my options. Manny's dedication to my case was outstanding, and he went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Manny to anyone seeking reliable and effective legal assistance!

I was very impressed with the service at Elite Criminal Defense. Manny Scribner was quick to respond to my requests. His bedside manner as a lawyer is top notch. He is honest, kind, and realistic and professional in his law advice and work. In a stressful situation it’s great to have lawyers you can trust and value their knowledge and leave feeling confident and ready to handle any legal issues. Thank you!

To begin with I had very little time to find an attorney to attend my wife's court hearing the next day. Looking up local law firms, I saw Elite Criminal defense and looked at the reviews and saw a lot of good things. Never really looked at the star rating, I spoke to Alejandro who from the start was nothing but blunt and clear with everything, I was enticed and set up an appointment. Getting to my appointment I ran into Manny and he greeted me and my son like if we were at home. From the get go my mood of anxious genuinely turned into a sign of hope. Thank God and ironically Manny was doing my consultation. From the get go I explained to Manny my financial situation and what was my situation with my previous attorney. Knowing the situation Manny put more focus on getting me helped and taking care of my worries rather than making money a focal point. Not only that he was very attentive to my son making sure he was situated and made felt at home. Manny went to bat for me to get me the help I needed and assured me all I needed to worry about was attending to my family and everything else they would take care of, and never made money a focal point or obstacle. One thing I will say is if it wasn't for Manny I don't know if I would of choose to work with the firm. Like the attorneys would fight for you in court Manny did from the get go. If anyone is looking for a firm Elite Criminal Defense is the way to go they treat you like family not because your paying them but because they really make sure your taken care from A-Z and their very accessible and patient with every question you have. At first I had a list of questions to ask but as the consultation went they were answered. Ask for Manny trust me you won't regret it and if you do you can personally speak to me and tell me otherwise. Dude's got a heart of gold and the most important trait he has is that you can feel its pure. MANNY MY BROTHA THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP AND FOR GOING TO BATTLE FOR ME, IF YOUR BOSS IS READING THIS TAKE CARE OF MANNY!!!!

I went in for a consultation and Manny was extremely helpful. He reviewed my civil case and offered next steps even though they couldn’t directly support my case. The office was clean and the staff friendly. If I ever run into a circumstance where I need criminal defense, I will be coming here as well as referring my friends.

This law firm has to be the best in California I needed legal advice and they made sure too be on top of my problem the moment we hung up the phone they went over and beyond to make sure it was fixed and was constantly updating me. The dedication they have for their clients is unmatched thank you again & thank you manny

This is the place to TRUST. My case was handled with efficiency, care, and communication. I left my case to the professionals here, Manny S. personally handled my situation with ease. I had a motorcycle speeding ticket in Kearny Mesa, i never made it to my traffic court appearance, i could be in jail right now, but thankfully it's all taken care of. Thank you Manny and the rest of the staff at Elite!

Went and had free consultation with Manuel and right of the bat was very welcoming and no judgemental after explaining the issue at hand....left after a short discussion and was even willing to give me a second bfree consultation after I had some further questions I needed answered.....they do financing options which was great and were very flexible and willing to compromise in finding a payment plan that would fit my budget....which wasn't much.....I was shocked the very reasonable flat flee they were charging as well.......

Manny and Carlos are the absolute best! They went above and beyond to help my son and I out. I highly recommend them. They are knowledgeable and go the extra mile to help and answer so many questions. They are also so caring and nice. I’m worried but they helped calm my nerves. I’m hoping for a great out come as they are the best around! They explained every step of the way! I highly recommend them!

I didn’t end up hiring an attorney for my case in the end (They actually told me I didn’t need an attorney and they were right!) but I had such a good experience at my free consultation, I decided to rate them. Overall, they were very friendly, respectful, and they made me feel very comfortable. They were very honest, which to me is what matters most. When you go to an attorney it’s almost always something very serious and I was beyond stressed out. I left this place feeling like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I just want to thank you guys for taking the time to meet with me and giving me some real peace of mind. If I’m ever in San Diego and I need a criminal defense attorney, this office is my go-to place for sure.

I had the best experience here! I spent a lot of time looking into places and couldn't find anyone that I felt I could trust until I came here. Manny made me feel super comfortable and confident that I was in the right place and that things will be taken care of. Before coming I was super stressed and I couldn't help but feel defeated, Manny and Carlos worked with me and I can honestly say I'd recommend this firm to anyone dealing with legal issues. Thank you guys!

This is my second time coming here after a solid first time experience. Manny really takes the time to sit down and talk to you face to face about your situation without extra fluff. Even better they take the time to figure out what works best with payments. After a different experience with a different firm it's actually a relief they go the extra steps. It definitely helps when your mind is racing 100 different directions. This will be the second time I leave their offices being able to take a deep breathe and more relaxed than when I came in. Will definitely refer people here in the future. Thank you elite criminal defense, I hope you keep helping people for many years to come.

I would like to thank Carlos Degoodoy and Oscar Valencia for helping me with my case. They are professional, helpful and friendly. they also help my answering all of my questions and gave me a realistic outcome for my current situation. Highly recommend for anyone that needs legal advice or support.

Manny was incredibly helpful. I sought advice for how to handle a tenancy/leasing issue, and the advice he provided from Mr. Valencia saved me a lot of time, stress, and money. They answered my calls quickly, and called me back within the hour. I am very impressed with the value and professionalism provided. I highly recommend calling their office if you have a need for prompt, accurate legal advice. Thank you again, Oscar and Manny. I will recommend you to anyone who asks in the future!

Definitivamente unos profesionales en la materia penal,una atención única desde el personal de recepción, y ni hablar del abogado Sebring y Degodoy, salí muy satisfecha con la información y orientación que se me brindo. Contestaron a todas mis dudas, y esa atención y confianza que te brindan, es única, si decidiera contar y solicitar la ayuda de un abogado para que asistiera mi caso, seria a ojos cerrados con ellos

My Husband and l went in 12 December 2023 for their services. The experience was one of Professionalism, Courtesy, Patience and In-depth Knowledge of the Law and Court System. We walked away with the Confidence we were searching.for. We will definitely refer to Family, Friends and Church Family. The Elite Team to have in Your Corner! Thanks Team.

“Oscar Valencia was my legal representative and did an outstanding job in defending me. He fought very hard in order to keep my barring rights. Oscar is a strategist, and have great social skills when it comes to judgements formulating against you. He is someone who see’s the overall bigger picture which he can help you achieve an evolution success”. P.S. Thank you Oscar!

Elite Criminal Defense has been very helpful and patient with me, very responsive when i send messages and helped me feel a lot better and safe when i felt vulnerable. Thank you so much Oscar Valencia with Elite Criminal Defense. You guys are the best. I needed a San Diego Criminal defense attorney near me and i couldn’t have found a better one. It feels good to know we have good attorneys in San Diego.

First time ever I was falsely accused of something. I had been calling around and many attorneys were charging extremely high prices or even said they wouldn't be able to take my case. However here I showed up the morning before my first hearing and they sat down to talk to me about my case and I definitely left here with much less stress than I had the previous weeks. That same day, after the hearing I get a call from Manny telling me my case was dropped and everything is behind me nothing to worry about. Probably the best kind of phonecall. Thank you to elite criminal defense. La primera vez que me acusaron falsamente de algo. Había estado llamando y muchos abogados cobraban precios extremadamente altos o incluso decían que no podrían aceptar mi caso. Sin embargo, aquí me presenté la mañana antes de mi primera audiencia y se sentaron a hablar conmigo sobre mi caso y definitivamente salí de aquí con mucho menos estrés que las semanas anteriores. Ese mismo día, después de la audiencia, recibo una llamada de Manny diciéndome que mi caso fue abandonado y que todo quedó atrás, no hay de qué preocuparme. Probablemente el mejor tipo de llamada telefónica. Gracias a la defensa criminal de élite.

If you need any help with your criminal defense case this is your law firm. They are extremely people oriented and treat you like family. Very upfront, honest, communicative, and will fight hard for you. They always answer your texts or phone calls right away or that same day. 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone!!

I was served by my ex for a restraining order that was not founded on the facts of the matter. I became homeless when she kicked me out, yet this firm worked with me considering my financial situation at the time and we agreed on a payment plan . Not only that they worked tirelessly on my case and assured me justice would be served. After months of worrying and considering the worst outcome, me and my legal representative went in their, he presented my case and I testified and justice was served. I am so grateful to have discovered this firm in my time of need. You will too. Give them a call to get a free consultation. You won't be sorry!

I needed legal help and filled out my info on the website and right away someone contacted me about my questions. They’re so nice I was able to get help that same day , great flexibility I didn’t have wait a day or two to meet with Manuel. He was very helpful with my questions and great hospitality (they have good snacks and drinks they offer for free 🙂 ) Manuel gave a great representation of Elite criminal defense (San Diego’s criminal defense law firm) and who they are and the interest in helping people. Definitely recommend 10/10.

These guys are awesome!!! I made a phone call to them and Carlos picked up the phone on the second ring. I asked him a few questions regarding something that happened and he assured me I was good and then had him look up stuff for me in other places and he was quick with his call back and texts. If I every need anything from these guys ever in the future I will make sure to give them a call. So if you are going through stuff give them a call!!!!

I wanted to write about Manuel Scribner. He not only is very professional and knowledgeable but very compassionate. He is a great asset to the company and a great people person. I was very nervous but he was able to calm me down, explain the process and help me step by step. He is a great person to work with. A wonderful employee. Highly recommend

The. Counsel and assurance of our defense tooken very carefully reviews. By manny was looked into very importantly and was also able to feel normal in a uncomfortable situation facing charges that were not true we were assured of our defense by Manny’s diligence to following up on contacting us on our situation with family life being a blessed to move on and living a normal family life

I would like to positively speak on behalf of the elite criminal defense law firm team Oscar, manny and Adrianna did an absolutely awesome job representing our family facing a very sensitive defense in court and they also did an absolutely great job assuring us and our family during these trying situations that can be a major hindrance in a family setting and daily life .we are greatly appreciative of the team’s family orientation and fighting for our family and we thank you 🙏 and hope the best for the firm and that we can be a relay to others that are family oriented to trust and placing their situation in the elite criminal defense law firms hands that handle the situation carefully and sensitively.thank you very much from the vidrio family

Well, to start, I had calls from SDPD wanting to serve me papers due to a hit and run collision a few months past in which I was the victim. The police department would have harassed me until the order was served for me to go to court, and that's when I found Elite Criminal Defense. I called and got an immediate response from Carlos. He was very thorough, mindful, and truly understood about my situation! He was there to help. I did get a bunch of information about my situation and how they could help at consultation. Everyone there ,including front desk receptionist, Manny, and others, takes the worry out of your situation and helps you with getting back to your life!

Needed legal help and I found this firm thanks to a friend. The staff is extremely helpful and supportive. Oscar always takes my calls and replies to my text’s ASAP. Manny was understanding of my situation and never lied to me about the process. They truly go above and beyond for their customers.

Manny did his best to try to assist me with an old (11 yrs) out-if-state speeding ticket that became a warrant. He ran a records check and I was confirmed clear in California. All he could recommend was that I contact the state where the infraction occurred. A plus for effort and thanks for the free consultation.

This review is for Manny. He became condescending and unprofessional once he realized I was hesitating on retaining their services. Insulted me during our consultation. Said I was in LaLaLand, repeatedly. You know Manny, there are much more professional ways of letting your client know you think they may have unreasonable beliefs. Continued to speak insultingly after I asked him to stop. He even seemed to be angry with me for some reason. I had to leave mid-consultation. Horrible experience, especially after what I'd already been through today. Thanks for nothing. That was awful. Manny is not a nice person by any stretch of the imagination.

This firm is amazing very good people trust me when I say good people they will not take on a case if they can’t help u while other places would jump on it for the money they only care about one thing and that is to help u and make this problem go away

If you have any legal trouble or even questions about a situation definitely call Elite Crimal Defense! I made an appointment with Carlos, and he did an amazing job explaining my case and assured me they will take care of me. He explained to me the process and the steps that had to be done. Within days my case was resolved! They still check on you after your case to make sure everything is okay, or if you have any other questions. Highly recommend them 10/10! Thank you Oscar, Carlos and Manny for helping me out and helping my friends and family with their case!

Had a horrible experience happen to me with my sister on new years and we were in another city and state , San Diego police handled the situation badly and I ended up picking up felony charges and my sister aswell , as soon as I got out on bond I found elite criminal defense I made an appointment with Carlos and when I walked in his office he was very transparent and listened to my side of the story and was confident about my case. Oscar Valencia took my case and I felt at ease mainly because of his work ethic and understanding, he stays in constant communication with you and gives you a sense of relief when speaking to him. 3 months later and he got my sister’s case dismissed and mine on the way aswell !! If you ever run into trouble or just need a lawyer i definitely recommend them , they are the best and the most humane people you can take as your legal team im happy with my results !!

Had the best experience with a lawyer, contracted him to represent a relative. Was very professional and took the time to listen. Gave clear and detailed explanation of what was the process. Very trustworthy, a man of his word. Give my relative the greatest representation and got an outcome better than expected. Very direct, honest, tell you how it is does not sugar coat it and well worth the money he charges. Would recommend him to family, friends and anyone asking for a lawyer.

The team took me in immediately to help me out during my situation. Everything was explained in a professional manner by Carlos and I was assured I would be taken care of. Their response to questions where prompted and explained everything in a digestible manner. Im very thankful for their services and help.

My boyfriend was falsely accused of theft at work. After shopping around we were so happy and relieved to have met with Mr. Valencia at Elite Criminal Defense! His professionalizm and knowledge kept my boyfriend out of jail restoring his reputation and clean criminal record! We couldn't be more gratful for his support during this stressful and difficult time.

Called up and spoke with Alejandro who got me a meeting the following day, which was super fast.

He took the time to listen to my concerns and provided clear, practical advice that made me feel confident throughout the process. His knowledge and expertise were evident in every step, and he always made sure I understood my options. Manny's dedication to my case was outstanding, and he went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Manny to anyone seeking reliable and effective legal assistance!

I was very impressed with the service at Elite Criminal Defense. Manny Scribner was quick to respond to my requests. His bedside manner as a lawyer is top notch. He is honest, kind, and realistic and professional in his law advice and work. In a stressful situation it’s great to have lawyers you can trust and value their knowledge and leave feeling confident and ready to handle any legal issues. Thank you!

To begin with I had very little time to find an attorney to attend my wife's court hearing the next day. Looking up local law firms, I saw Elite Criminal defense and looked at the reviews and saw a lot of good things. Never really looked at the star rating, I spoke to Alejandro who from the start was nothing but blunt and clear with everything, I was enticed and set up an appointment. Getting to my appointment I ran into Manny and he greeted me and my son like if we were at home. From the get go my mood of anxious genuinely turned into a sign of hope. Thank God and ironically Manny was doing my consultation. From the get go I explained to Manny my financial situation and what was my situation with my previous attorney. Knowing the situation Manny put more focus on getting me helped and taking care of my worries rather than making money a focal point. Not only that he was very attentive to my son making sure he was situated and made felt at home. Manny went to bat for me to get me the help I needed and assured me all I needed to worry about was attending to my family and everything else they would take care of, and never made money a focal point or obstacle. One thing I will say is if it wasn't for Manny I don't know if I would of choose to work with the firm. Like the attorneys would fight for you in court Manny did from the get go. If anyone is looking for a firm Elite Criminal Defense is the way to go they treat you like family not because your paying them but because they really make sure your taken care from A-Z and their very accessible and patient with every question you have. At first I had a list of questions to ask but as the consultation went they were answered. Ask for Manny trust me you won't regret it and if you do you can personally speak to me and tell me otherwise. Dude's got a heart of gold and the most important trait he has is that you can feel its pure. MANNY MY BROTHA THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP AND FOR GOING TO BATTLE FOR ME, IF YOUR BOSS IS READING THIS TAKE CARE OF MANNY!!!!

I went in for a consultation and Manny was extremely helpful. He reviewed my civil case and offered next steps even though they couldn’t directly support my case. The office was clean and the staff friendly. If I ever run into a circumstance where I need criminal defense, I will be coming here as well as referring my friends.

This law firm has to be the best in California I needed legal advice and they made sure too be on top of my problem the moment we hung up the phone they went over and beyond to make sure it was fixed and was constantly updating me. The dedication they have for their clients is unmatched thank you again & thank you manny

This is the place to TRUST. My case was handled with efficiency, care, and communication. I left my case to the professionals here, Manny S. personally handled my situation with ease. I had a motorcycle speeding ticket in Kearny Mesa, i never made it to my traffic court appearance, i could be in jail right now, but thankfully it's all taken care of. Thank you Manny and the rest of the staff at Elite!

Went and had free consultation with Manuel and right of the bat was very welcoming and no judgemental after explaining the issue at hand....left after a short discussion and was even willing to give me a second bfree consultation after I had some further questions I needed answered.....they do financing options which was great and were very flexible and willing to compromise in finding a payment plan that would fit my budget....which wasn't much.....I was shocked the very reasonable flat flee they were charging as well.......

Manny and Carlos are the absolute best! They went above and beyond to help my son and I out. I highly recommend them. They are knowledgeable and go the extra mile to help and answer so many questions. They are also so caring and nice. I’m worried but they helped calm my nerves. I’m hoping for a great out come as they are the best around! They explained every step of the way! I highly recommend them!

I didn’t end up hiring an attorney for my case in the end (They actually told me I didn’t need an attorney and they were right!) but I had such a good experience at my free consultation, I decided to rate them. Overall, they were very friendly, respectful, and they made me feel very comfortable. They were very honest, which to me is what matters most. When you go to an attorney it’s almost always something very serious and I was beyond stressed out. I left this place feeling like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I just want to thank you guys for taking the time to meet with me and giving me some real peace of mind. If I’m ever in San Diego and I need a criminal defense attorney, this office is my go-to place for sure.

I had the best experience here! I spent a lot of time looking into places and couldn't find anyone that I felt I could trust until I came here. Manny made me feel super comfortable and confident that I was in the right place and that things will be taken care of. Before coming I was super stressed and I couldn't help but feel defeated, Manny and Carlos worked with me and I can honestly say I'd recommend this firm to anyone dealing with legal issues. Thank you guys!

This is my second time coming here after a solid first time experience. Manny really takes the time to sit down and talk to you face to face about your situation without extra fluff. Even better they take the time to figure out what works best with payments. After a different experience with a different firm it's actually a relief they go the extra steps. It definitely helps when your mind is racing 100 different directions. This will be the second time I leave their offices being able to take a deep breathe and more relaxed than when I came in. Will definitely refer people here in the future. Thank you elite criminal defense, I hope you keep helping people for many years to come.

I would like to thank Carlos Degoodoy and Oscar Valencia for helping me with my case. They are professional, helpful and friendly. they also help my answering all of my questions and gave me a realistic outcome for my current situation. Highly recommend for anyone that needs legal advice or support.

Manny was incredibly helpful. I sought advice for how to handle a tenancy/leasing issue, and the advice he provided from Mr. Valencia saved me a lot of time, stress, and money. They answered my calls quickly, and called me back within the hour. I am very impressed with the value and professionalism provided. I highly recommend calling their office if you have a need for prompt, accurate legal advice. Thank you again, Oscar and Manny. I will recommend you to anyone who asks in the future!

Definitivamente unos profesionales en la materia penal,una atención única desde el personal de recepción, y ni hablar del abogado Sebring y Degodoy, salí muy satisfecha con la información y orientación que se me brindo. Contestaron a todas mis dudas, y esa atención y confianza que te brindan, es única, si decidiera contar y solicitar la ayuda de un abogado para que asistiera mi caso, seria a ojos cerrados con ellos

My Husband and l went in 12 December 2023 for their services. The experience was one of Professionalism, Courtesy, Patience and In-depth Knowledge of the Law and Court System. We walked away with the Confidence we were searching.for. We will definitely refer to Family, Friends and Church Family. The Elite Team to have in Your Corner! Thanks Team.

“Oscar Valencia was my legal representative and did an outstanding job in defending me. He fought very hard in order to keep my barring rights. Oscar is a strategist, and have great social skills when it comes to judgements formulating against you. He is someone who see’s the overall bigger picture which he can help you achieve an evolution success”. P.S. Thank you Oscar!

Elite Criminal Defense has been very helpful and patient with me, very responsive when i send messages and helped me feel a lot better and safe when i felt vulnerable. Thank you so much Oscar Valencia with Elite Criminal Defense. You guys are the best. I needed a San Diego Criminal defense attorney near me and i couldn’t have found a better one. It feels good to know we have good attorneys in San Diego.

First time ever I was falsely accused of something. I had been calling around and many attorneys were charging extremely high prices or even said they wouldn't be able to take my case. However here I showed up the morning before my first hearing and they sat down to talk to me about my case and I definitely left here with much less stress than I had the previous weeks. That same day, after the hearing I get a call from Manny telling me my case was dropped and everything is behind me nothing to worry about. Probably the best kind of phonecall. Thank you to elite criminal defense. La primera vez que me acusaron falsamente de algo. Había estado llamando y muchos abogados cobraban precios extremadamente altos o incluso decían que no podrían aceptar mi caso. Sin embargo, aquí me presenté la mañana antes de mi primera audiencia y se sentaron a hablar conmigo sobre mi caso y definitivamente salí de aquí con mucho menos estrés que las semanas anteriores. Ese mismo día, después de la audiencia, recibo una llamada de Manny diciéndome que mi caso fue abandonado y que todo quedó atrás, no hay de qué preocuparme. Probablemente el mejor tipo de llamada telefónica. Gracias a la defensa criminal de élite.

If you need any help with your criminal defense case this is your law firm. They are extremely people oriented and treat you like family. Very upfront, honest, communicative, and will fight hard for you. They always answer your texts or phone calls right away or that same day. 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone!!

I was served by my ex for a restraining order that was not founded on the facts of the matter. I became homeless when she kicked me out, yet this firm worked with me considering my financial situation at the time and we agreed on a payment plan . Not only that they worked tirelessly on my case and assured me justice would be served. After months of worrying and considering the worst outcome, me and my legal representative went in their, he presented my case and I testified and justice was served. I am so grateful to have discovered this firm in my time of need. You will too. Give them a call to get a free consultation. You won't be sorry!

I needed legal help and filled out my info on the website and right away someone contacted me about my questions. They’re so nice I was able to get help that same day , great flexibility I didn’t have wait a day or two to meet with Manuel. He was very helpful with my questions and great hospitality (they have good snacks and drinks they offer for free 🙂 ) Manuel gave a great representation of Elite criminal defense (San Diego’s criminal defense law firm) and who they are and the interest in helping people. Definitely recommend 10/10.

These guys are awesome!!! I made a phone call to them and Carlos picked up the phone on the second ring. I asked him a few questions regarding something that happened and he assured me I was good and then had him look up stuff for me in other places and he was quick with his call back and texts. If I every need anything from these guys ever in the future I will make sure to give them a call. So if you are going through stuff give them a call!!!!

I wanted to write about Manuel Scribner. He not only is very professional and knowledgeable but very compassionate. He is a great asset to the company and a great people person. I was very nervous but he was able to calm me down, explain the process and help me step by step. He is a great person to work with. A wonderful employee. Highly recommend

The. Counsel and assurance of our defense tooken very carefully reviews. By manny was looked into very importantly and was also able to feel normal in a uncomfortable situation facing charges that were not true we were assured of our defense by Manny’s diligence to following up on contacting us on our situation with family life being a blessed to move on and living a normal family life

I would like to positively speak on behalf of the elite criminal defense law firm team Oscar, manny and Adrianna did an absolutely awesome job representing our family facing a very sensitive defense in court and they also did an absolutely great job assuring us and our family during these trying situations that can be a major hindrance in a family setting and daily life .we are greatly appreciative of the team’s family orientation and fighting for our family and we thank you 🙏 and hope the best for the firm and that we can be a relay to others that are family oriented to trust and placing their situation in the elite criminal defense law firms hands that handle the situation carefully and sensitively.thank you very much from the vidrio family

Well, to start, I had calls from SDPD wanting to serve me papers due to a hit and run collision a few months past in which I was the victim. The police department would have harassed me until the order was served for me to go to court, and that's when I found Elite Criminal Defense. I called and got an immediate response from Carlos. He was very thorough, mindful, and truly understood about my situation! He was there to help. I did get a bunch of information about my situation and how they could help at consultation. Everyone there ,including front desk receptionist, Manny, and others, takes the worry out of your situation and helps you with getting back to your life!

Needed legal help and I found this firm thanks to a friend. The staff is extremely helpful and supportive. Oscar always takes my calls and replies to my text’s ASAP. Manny was understanding of my situation and never lied to me about the process. They truly go above and beyond for their customers.

Manny did his best to try to assist me with an old (11 yrs) out-if-state speeding ticket that became a warrant. He ran a records check and I was confirmed clear in California. All he could recommend was that I contact the state where the infraction occurred. A plus for effort and thanks for the free consultation.

This review is for Manny. He became condescending and unprofessional once he realized I was hesitating on retaining their services. Insulted me during our consultation. Said I was in LaLaLand, repeatedly. You know Manny, there are much more professional ways of letting your client know you think they may have unreasonable beliefs. Continued to speak insultingly after I asked him to stop. He even seemed to be angry with me for some reason. I had to leave mid-consultation. Horrible experience, especially after what I'd already been through today. Thanks for nothing. That was awful. Manny is not a nice person by any stretch of the imagination.

This firm is amazing very good people trust me when I say good people they will not take on a case if they can’t help u while other places would jump on it for the money they only care about one thing and that is to help u and make this problem go away

If you have any legal trouble or even questions about a situation definitely call Elite Crimal Defense! I made an appointment with Carlos, and he did an amazing job explaining my case and assured me they will take care of me. He explained to me the process and the steps that had to be done. Within days my case was resolved! They still check on you after your case to make sure everything is okay, or if you have any other questions. Highly recommend them 10/10! Thank you Oscar, Carlos and Manny for helping me out and helping my friends and family with their case!

Had a horrible experience happen to me with my sister on new years and we were in another city and state , San Diego police handled the situation badly and I ended up picking up felony charges and my sister aswell , as soon as I got out on bond I found elite criminal defense I made an appointment with Carlos and when I walked in his office he was very transparent and listened to my side of the story and was confident about my case. Oscar Valencia took my case and I felt at ease mainly because of his work ethic and understanding, he stays in constant communication with you and gives you a sense of relief when speaking to him. 3 months later and he got my sister’s case dismissed and mine on the way aswell !! If you ever run into trouble or just need a lawyer i definitely recommend them , they are the best and the most humane people you can take as your legal team im happy with my results !!

Had the best experience with a lawyer, contracted him to represent a relative. Was very professional and took the time to listen. Gave clear and detailed explanation of what was the process. Very trustworthy, a man of his word. Give my relative the greatest representation and got an outcome better than expected. Very direct, honest, tell you how it is does not sugar coat it and well worth the money he charges. Would recommend him to family, friends and anyone asking for a lawyer.

The team took me in immediately to help me out during my situation. Everything was explained in a professional manner by Carlos and I was assured I would be taken care of. Their response to questions where prompted and explained everything in a digestible manner. Im very thankful for their services and help.

My boyfriend was falsely accused of theft at work. After shopping around we were so happy and relieved to have met with Mr. Valencia at Elite Criminal Defense! His professionalizm and knowledge kept my boyfriend out of jail restoring his reputation and clean criminal record! We couldn't be more gratful for his support during this stressful and difficult time.
