Shouse Law Group

I was charged with a drug misdemeanor case last year and was quite worried about the adverse effects it could have on my career and immigration status. Thanks to Leo, my case was dismissed after 12 months with best possible outcome which is pre-trial diversion without any admission of guilt (PC1000). Leo helped me on every step from explaining the charges, possible defenses, immigration consequences to submitting paperwork to court on my behalf. He clearly communicated the outcome of various stages in the process of ultimately getting an expungement of my charges. He is quite friendly to talk to and responds quickly to calls/texts. All in all, Leo is a great laywer to have on your side and will go extra mile in helping you getting the best possible defense!

Mr. Leo ****** managed to secure an agreeable settlement with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office prior to my pre-trial hearing with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, Hearing Officer. When I needed to speak to him, he picks-up the phone on the first ring. A pitbull of a lawyer, I'm glad he's on my side.

I've dealt with many law firms and attorneys throughout my career as a medical expert witness. In all my years I've never come across a more professional team of lawyers, paralegals, private investigators, case and intake manager than I've found in the Shouse Law Group. The results achieved in the areas of criminal defense, personal injury and mass torts is exemplary. I recommend this firm for anyone needing legal help.

Karthik Krishnan is great.

John Murray, This man is one of the best lawyers I could ever ask for to defend my brother. My brother is having some legal issues and his patience and guidance has been amazing. I would recommend John to anyone and everyone. I highly recommend John Murray to be the lawyer for you when you are need. -Tracy Gallardo-Rey

Leo was a wonderful Attorney! Even though I had a prior DUI over 10 years ago, Leo got me a great deal with the courts. What I did was wrong and Leo was very non judgmental and helpful. He was excellent in answering and returning my calls/texts whenever I had a question. I didn't even have to appear in court!!! Having the case handled by Leo took all the stress away from a stressful situation. He was able to lower costs and avoid jail for me since I caused private property damage. He was very through and understanding, even when he was on vacation while getting married, I had to ask for more clarification and his staff took care of my case while he was away, so there was never any delay in service, which is amazing! Thank you so much for your help, I am glad I choose your firm to represent me as I researched you online rather than the hundreds of attorneys by mail that are just out to get your money. The price was reasonable for exceptional service. Leo even mentioned if I have any further questions, to always give him a call, wonderful service with integrity!

I was charged with nine counts which comprised of using force to resist arrest, battery upon a police officer, and drunk in public. This arose out of a police call after I stumbled into a stranger's home, caused a ruckus inside, exited the home and was found severely intoxicated by police officer. When the police officers tried to arrest me, I resisted, and caused injuries to several police officers. The initial offer was for probation and 180 days of county jail where I would have to plea to resisting arrest and battery upon a police officer. During the investigation he found that I had substance abuse issues due to your military service. Mr. Leonard helped me to retained the service of a mental health professional and they provided a report outlining my military service and substance abuse issue. Mr. Manalo ran a motion for military diversion. It was a divisive motion where the judge almost granted it after reading the motion and report by Dr. Kojian but she didn't rule in our favor because of her concerns with public safety. She did state that she would accept a lenient sentence on this, even though the conduct was bad. The City Attorney Agreed. Mr. Manalo discussed the matter further with the City Attorney and asked for a disturbing the peace. She could not offer that since the police officers were injured. We were able to resolve the case for and amended count 10 P.C. 148(a)(1) which is resisting arrest where no force was alleged. I will be placed on summary probation, pay my booking, 90 days of county jail would be suspended and never imposed if I do not violate probation, and just continue the treatment I already receive from the VA. At the end of the summary probation I may expunge the case. The original 9 charges will be dropped I believe he met the goals of my case as best he could considering the case - I avoided nine convictions, placed on informal probation, avoided jail time, and I would only continue with the treatment I'm are already doing. Mr. Leonard Manalo was very helpful and caring throughout this whole process. I feel he really took care of me considering I live in the state of Georgia. I could not have asked for a better lawyer.

Great customer services, Leo was very helpful, explained everything in detail about the process of my case. Will definitely recommend this firm.
