I hired Jay Monico to represent me in my second dui case in 2019. I feel that with Jay as my attorney, I received excellent legal representation. His professionalism is remarkable, along with his knowledge and execution of the law. With this being, not only a very difficult situation, but it was also an extremely sensitive and emotional time in my life, and Jay handled this case from beginning to end with what I would consider perfection in every aspect. I feel that when people are faced with the fear of the unknown and are then given a sense of peace throughout this unfamiliar legal process, then they have found the correct Legal Representation. I definitely found just that in Jay and for that I'm grateful. I'm moving forward with my new life on a very positive note and knowing that I was represented by the most professional and well-rounded attorney that anyone could ever ask for. My recommendation to any and everyone is that you can take comfort in knowing that if you retain jay for your legal needs, you have hired THE VERY BEST !! I am grateful to have the opportunity to thank the one who made it possible for me, I Highly Recommend Jay is a wonderful person and an amazing lawyer. He provided me guidance throughout process and addressed all my concerns. I am more than happy to refer Jay Monico for a smooth and knowledgeable process. he was always on top of emails and other communication, and I knew what was going on with my case almost as quickly as Jay found out himself.
I finally finish all my stuff and final thing was thank those who helped me also Stan for always making me feel welcomed every time I went into the office .
Thank you.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I found myself in a questionable spot and needed to talk to an attorney to understand my options. Stan and Chris at Sevens were easy to talk to and helped me decide on a course of action. I felt fortunate to have found them.

Hired attorney Andy Schooler for my RO case and it became very clear to me that his 40+ years of experience has tired him out. He promised to create a case for me and not once bothered to even look at my evidence or try to create a case as he promised. He wanted me to quickly sign off on an agreement I did not agree with. He even caught himself in a lie and told me he "doesn't want to deal with this anymore". At least I got a small refund because of his lack of professionalism which is why I gave 2 stars instead of 1. Completely dissatisfied with his services. It's time for him to retire. I could've represented myself better.
***edit: I now changed my 2 stars to 1 because I found out my harasser, who I hired Andy to protect me from, gave him a 5 star review for all his help. I can't make this up! Unless you want to spend thousands to have Andy help your harasser, hire a competent attorney elsewhere. Unbelievable.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

UNGRATEFUL! You are one of those people that no attorney could ever satisfy. You hired us because you were served with a TRO.
I worked very hard on your case and negotiated an agreement to dismiss the TRO against you AND have the opposing party pay half of the attorney fees you paid to me.
A complete victory- yet you leave a one star review…

Kerry and his team did a great job. Hopefully you will never need them, but it is nice to know a good criminal defense lawyer if you ever do. They were responsive, cost effective and diligent.

Dear Dre,
We have carefully reviewed the negative feedback you provided about our law firm, Sevens Legal Criminal Lawyers, and we are unable to identify any record of your case or client relationship with our firm. After consulting with our team, it appears that neither Crystal nor Stan have been involved in a situation resembling the one you described. We take all feedback seriously and are committed to addressing any concerns our clients may have. While we strive to provide exceptional legal representation and maintain the highest standards of professionalism, we are unable to verify the details of your case at this time. We encourage you to reach out to us directly to provide further information so that we can investigate the matter thoroughly. We are dedicated to continuously improving our services.
Sincerely,
The Sevens Legal Criminal Lawyers Team - Ross B.San Diego, CA776106Mar 16, 2023
I had a very positive experience I didn't really shop around so I'm not to sure on pricing but I thought it was fair and mid way through I experienced a financial hardship and they were able to work with me. I was assigned Jay Monaco who is also a veteran and he was able to understand me and where I was coming from. Jay translated that to the court in way that they found in my favor. I consider him and the staff over at sevens friends. Hopefully I'm never in trouble with the law again but if I am I know who im calling. Thank you again everyone at Sevens!

Ross, as Jay’s supervisor I am very pleased to read what you have written. Besides being a superb lawyer and tenacious with every case he handles, Jay always goes the extra mile for anybody who is in the military. i’m sure that’s a result of how they ingrained him to act when he was in the Marines.

I'm sorry we could not help you in this situation. We offer free consultation and case analysis, but not free representation. You will not find any competent experienced lawyer to handle your serious charges for less than $2,500 to begin the case, along security of the balance. We pride ourselves in taking excellent care of people faced with serious consequences. For that, we charge fair and reasonable prices. Regrettably, we cannot help everyone in every situation.
I spoke with the DA, explained my issue, no $2500 bull to start a case. Half way through requirements, satisfied and will continue to respond and suggest all look further...Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Feb 9, 2022Previous reviewGet ready to pay, you have found yourself in a major hardship and have possibly 20-13 days to respond to the court. You may get led on by some other attorney that looses you time. You have no choice.
Response time is quick but they have no real way to help you unless you have at least $2500 up front to have them represent you. They also speak of continuances, I have no need for this.
I will represent myself as I have no other choice. - Renee M.San Diego, CA09Sep 9, 2022
First time in my life being involved in an ugly and unwarranted dispute, Andy Schooler was extremely knowledgeable, genuinely helpful and believed in me! Knowing you have someone on your side who is reliable and will take care of things helps your mental state when you're overwhelmed with stress. He's the guy!

I love Andy Schooler. I highly recommend him. He was there and listened to me when I had to fight and defend myself after being accused of something I did not do. He believed in me. I owe him my life. He knew exactly how to handle my situation. I am so grateful.
