Sergio. Denise. Shahid. These were the people that got me thru this. Magic. That was done. Highly appreciative of their team. My case was completed just as fast as I found out about the active warrant. From 12 years ago. Situation. Lost an airline job opportunity because of an active warrant. Found out I had an active warrant from Jan 2013 for 2012 traffic stop (Speeding in a Park). Back in Dec 2012, Court date on the citation and the voicemail reminder did not match. But, I followed the Voicemail thinking they pushed it up. Showed up and no record of my name was on the list. So, I waited for any other correspondence from the court. Nothing came. I moved. And I just forgot about it. Fast forward to Sept 2025, I found out. It took me a month of researching and asking around to actually find a good set of lawyers that had great reviews. The Law Offices of David Chesley seemed like the best choice amongst the list I conjured up. And Wow. In just 3 weeks, maybe less, everything got squared off. Sergio was the person who answered my call and ran me through a playbook of what had happened and what will happen in the coming weeks. As soon as he mentioned that once I start the retainer fee it can get started. Denise kept in touch to make sure I was informed court dates and updates to my case. And I called/texted whenever I had questions, she answered promptly. Awesomeness. Shahid though, Atty Shahid did his magic. He made sure I was getting the best outcome possible. He gave a play by play of what he can try to accomplish, and that he did. Super estatic of the news when he got back to me. Outcomes. Warrant Recalled. Misdemeanor dismissed. Infraction was given in place. No Fines. No Penalties and Assessments. Like wow. This was the best possible outcome. I was stressing for something that happened more than a decade and. It got taken care of in less than a month. This team is highly... Recommended. Recommended. Recommended. Thank you to: Sergio. Denise. Shahid. And the Law Offices of David Chesley.
I am very grateful for the help from Negin, she made an incredible difference for me had I went through my situation on my own. Thank you Law Offices of David Chelsey.
