Lopas Law Group, LLP

I would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge and thank Matthew and Deanna Lopas of Lopas Law Group LLP. Over 5 years ago my brother was arrested on very serious charges. It was through connections with a lawyer we knew locally in Charlotte, NC, that Lopas Law Group LLP in San Diego was highly recommended to us for the nature of my brother’s charges. For over 5 years they have represented my brother through his case, the challenges with the court system and appeals processes. Matthew and Deanna Lopas are qualified, professional, knowledgeable and extremely competent when navigating the criminal law environment. Matthew and Deanna Lopas play to each others strengths when planning, implementing and arguing their defense strategies. They are thorough and effective communicators, both through the court system, with my brother, as well as me. Lopas Law Group LLP argued my brother’s case, eliminating charges. They skillfully negotiated my brother’s sentence, well versed and informed of the law. They sought council as needed and methodically researched a penal code for possible health care diversion. There was a denial and then an opportunity for appeal. They remained intimately engaged in the process, communicating with me and my brother, providing detailed updates, all while incorporating my brother’s requests. Most recently, due to their diligence, expertise and knowledge about the law, my brother’s appeal was granted in appellate court for Mental Health Diversion. Lopas Law Group, LLP went above and beyond collaborating and communicating with the VA, representatives from the San Diego County Jail, C3V to ensure a comprehensive plan to support his release for the diversion. I never in a million years would have thought to find myself entwined in the judicial system like this. Lopas Law Group, LLP helped me navigate the complicated San Diego County/ CA laws and criminal justice system, especially since I do not live in California. They were more than just lawyers defending my brother; they were my eyes and ears for over 5 years representing my brother and supporting him through all of the proceedings . So much more than a court appointment attorney would have been and done for my brother's case. Assurances and strategies were backed with measurable results and meaningful outcomes. I highly recommend Matthew and Deanna Lopas and Lopas Law Group, LLP to represent you or a loved one requiring legal services. As criminal defense lawyers, they will ensure their client is provided with comprehensive representation, always prepared to argue and fight for the best and just outcome. -HAC
