Paladin Legal Defenders

I was on every channel of the news and accused of having a gun leading multiple police agencies on a chase with helicopters. This team fought hard for me on multiple deals and i finally got no jail time, a small fine and community service. I was facing 2 – 5 years in Prison. Couldn’t be happier. Don’t risk your freedom. Pantea and Chuck were my legal dream team! Chuck also help my girlfriend beat a bogus murder for hire charge! She got 4 months!

If you need someone you can trust, you can depend on Chuck Stoddard. I live in Tucson and at 8:31am this morning, I called Chuck in Orange County on behalf of my daughter who lives in Las Vegas. Before he was even done with his first cup of coffee and 34 minutes later, Chuck agreed to represent my daughter in court that morning at 10am. He texted me throughout the morning and by 11:33am, our issue was resolved. NO MORE WARRANT, NO JAIL TIME, NO 49 HRS. OF COMMUNITY SERVICE! I honestly can NOT say enough about how Chuck handled our situation. Professional, Compassionate, Understanding! I don’t normally write reviews, but I wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight if I didn’t take the time to write this one. My daughter is now able to get her driver’s license AND registration renewed, and not have to look over her shoulder because of a warrant, etc. Great Job, Chuck! Thank you Again!

Pante-​a makes you comfortable with what’s going on. She gives all options, and tells what is best. She doesn’t make false promises

In my opinion, a good lawyer is three things: knowledgable, passionate, and understanding. The attorneys at Paladin, specifically Chuck and Pante-​a, check all three boxes. I could tell they truly cared about my case and went above and beyond to get my case dismissed. Without them, my record would have been tarnished forever. Chuck and Pante-​a both investigated my case deeply, and assured me that they would fight for me. And that they did. I am forever grateful to both of them. Getting a case dismissed is no easy task, but they did it. If you’re looking for an attorney, look no further. These two are the best of the best. Thank you guys again!

Pante-​a represented me in my 148(A), which is non-​compliance with an officer’s request. My belief before speaking with Pante-​a was that court system would see my infraction as a big mistake and dismiss the charges. The court system doesn’t work that way, if you are cited, you are guilty until proven innocent.
For me, what should have been a small legal issue turned into a nightmare with a potential misdemeanor on my record. A misdemeanor would have caused years of issues of explaining for any kind of background check, government licensing, or even being pulled over for a broken tail light. Pante-​a was able to get my charges dismissed and I am so thankful I had her in my corner. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

I was charged with DUI and thought all the odds were stacked against me and that case was impossible to win. I met with Chuck and he thoroughly explained the process. He communicated with me and ensured that all my questions were answered. He was deliberate in preparing for my case and presented the options I had without setting false expectations. I was facing jail time, suspended license and potential impact on my clearance and immigration status. The case was dismissed and all the tickets were discharged. Chuck is a professional, courteous, diligent, and caring.

Pantea helped me with my case. She actually got my misdemeanor case dismissed altogether.
From my first consultation visit she told me she would try it to get it dismissed and sure enough, today I’m a man with one less thing to worry about.
On top of that she is very good looking :)

I am extremely happy with Paladin Legal Defenders. Pante-​a was absolutely amazing! I was a nervous wreck before going to court but her confidence kept me calm and sane. She was upfront letting me know all of the «what if’s»… She did not promise anything but was confident that she would get my charges reduced; she did exactly that. I went from having a misdemeanor charge reduced to an infraction and no points added to my driving record.
I even took a few of her business cards to refer her to co-​workers or friends if they ever found themselves in such a situation.
She is definitely a defender for the people and takes her clients situations to a level like no other. I am thankful for Unilocal, helping me find such a wonderful attorney.
Thank you Pante-​a!!!

I found myself in a sticky situation. Paladin Legal Defenders helped me right out the gate, answered questions, gave advice, looked up all my information that I wanted and needed to know, all of this was done before they were even hired as my attorney. Chuck doesn’t sugar coat anything and will give you the straight forward facts! It took a lot to accept that he doesn’t have a magic wand. His extensive legal experience showed in the court room, battling it out for me until his last breath. The end result was absolutely in my favor! Thank you Thank you Thank you Paladin Legal Defenders and Chuck!

Pante-​a Nilchian from Paladin got my DMV misdemeanor dismissed with no fines or even traffic school. For more details, see below.
I was dumb and forgot to renew both my registration and drivers license and was stopped by a cop. Driving with an expired drivers’ license is a misdemeanor, not an infraction. The ticket instructed me to show up in court «on or before March 24». When I showed up on March 11, I was told by the clerk that I had to show up on March 24. But I was going to be out of the country on that date. When I showed her the instructions on the ticket, she said «I know but I’m just telling you how it works.» She could only move my hearing up one week, but I was going to be traveling at that time too. The clerk said that unless I wanted a warrant issued for me when I failed to show, my only option would be to hire a lawyer to reschedule the hearing for me. I heard from someone that a warrant may not be a big deal but a warrant on my record is not something I take lightly.
Found this firm on Unilocal and was a little cautious because they had no reviews. After talking with Pante-​a, I felt like they were legit and she knew her stuff, whereas another law firm did not seem familiar with DMV issues. Paladin also charged less than the other firm was going to charge. I thought I would just hire them to reschedule the hearing for me but Pante-​a said she could actually appear on my behalf and sometimes they can even get cases dismissed. Absence of a prior record increased my chances of a dismissal but she did say it was a long shot to avoid any fines, because California needs the money. But she would try to get any fine reduced. Paladin charged a flat $ 250 and I figured it was worth it to see what she could do. The outcome exceeded my expectations. Pante-​a was also very professional in her interactions with me.
