Client Testimonials
“Attorney Suzanne Crouts represented me for a false felony assault allegation. This case could have really caused havoc in my life and Suzanne was able to get the case rejected by the DA. She is a very experienced criminal lawyer and well known in the Long Beach courthouse. She effectively interacted with the prosecutor assigned to my case.
I always felt like she genuinely cared about me and was working hard to help keep this from ruining my life. This firm and it’s staff are very professional and pleasant to work with. You feel well represented. I never could have imagined I’d need a criminal defense attorney, but I’m very happy I found this firm. I could not have asked for a better outcome.”

Google Review“I found Robert Weinberg online and could tell right away after we met that he is an expert defense attorney. The way he analyzed my case and explained the defense strategy he would use blew me away. I was ready to just give up and was surprised with all the defense options available to me. Take it from me, the right defense attorney can make a huge difference in the outcome of your case. Hire Robert if you need a top notch defense attorney that will fight smart for you.”
