Law Office of Karthik Krishnan

Earlier this year I found myself in some legal trouble and the charges I was facing were pretty significant. I was stressed out and had no idea where to start. I was frantically calling a few of the free 30-min consultations with a lawyer just to see what I was up against. Karthik was one of the lawyers who was on-call that night that I was in a panic and reached out to me. I explained my situation with him and he was very understanding and I knew right then that I wanted to secure him as my attorney. As a single parent, it can be hard to come up with a large amount of fees up front when you have a household you are still responsible for. Karthik worked with me on an installment plan so I could have the representation I needed without taking on such a huge financial burden. Even before our initial court date, Karthik recommended an action plan for me to get started on that would help give us a head start on the best possible result for my case. He knew exactly what the courts would be looking for and helped guide me with finding the necessary resources to get started. During the time that my case was pending, Karthik routinely reached out to me to check-in on progress and to also notify me of any changes. When my court date finally arrived I was extremely nervous but Karthik reassured me that we have made a good case. Ultimately, my case got diverted with a chance at 100% dismissal at the Vista Courthouse in San Diego county. I am extremely relieved and can not think of a better outcome. I am incredibly grateful to Karthik for helping me during this challenging time and although I hope I never find myself in a situation where I would need him again, I know who I could call if I did. Thank you Karthik !!!

I was charged with a misdemeanor in early February. I was completely lost on how to navigate the situation, but luckily Karthik Krishnan was able to help ease my worry. He was very responsive throughout the whole process. He was very polite, understanding, and friendly while remaining professional. Mr.Krishnan appeared in the Ventura County Superior Court on my behalf and was able to obtain a dismissal deal. I am beyond satisfied and grateful for his service. Mr.Krishnan was able to get my case dismissed 6 months early and I am so grateful to have called him.

First of all, I am writing this review on behalf of my spouse and myself because we simply want to express our deepest gratitude to our lawyers, Counsel Karthik Krishnan and Counsel Leonard Manalo. To begin with, we honestly had no idea what to do when my spouse unexpectedly became involved in a criminal case. We were both overwhelmed, confused, and extremely stressed—to the point that we even considered going back to the Philippines. We are both Filipino, and we had only recently arrived in America when we suddenly encountered this difficult situation, involving another Filipino. I won’t go into the details of the case because, if possible, we would rather not relive that experience. We started searching for lawyers who could help us, and thankfully, we found Law Office of Karthik Krishnan and contacted them right away. Their response was incredibly fast, and from there, we were able to speak with them immediately. Attorney Karthik Krishnan was the first attorney we spoke with and the first one to handle our case. He is an excellent lawyer—very confident, strong, and someone you can truly feel has the ability and determination to defend you. However, since we are Filipino, he felt that it would be better for us to work with his fellow Filipino attorney, Attorney Leonard Manalo. We jokingly call him “small but terrible” hahaha! Why? Because he is the complete opposite of Attorney Karthik Krishnan. Attorney Leonard is calm, soft-spoken, and seemingly quiet, but just like Attorney Karthik, he knows exactly what he is doing and how to handle a case. All you need to do is explain everything honestly and clearly to them so they can understand the situation and determine the best approach and solution for your case. From the beginning until the very end of our case, they never left us on our own. Whenever we had questions about the process, they took the time to explain everything to us and tell us what we needed to do. They were also very understanding and cooperative when it came to payment arrangements. They are truly compassionate and understanding lawyers. We are incredibly grateful that we found them and that they helped us get our case dismissed. Our case was handled at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in Downtown Los Angeles. What we went through was extremely difficult and stressful, especially because we were just starting our new life in America. But because of the help and guidance of these attorneys, the process became much easier, and they helped ease our fears and worries along the way. So, to anyone looking for a lawyer to help with their case, especially a criminal case, we highly recommend Attorney Karthik Krishnan, Attorney Leonard Manalo, and the Law Office of Karthik Krishnan team. We can personally say this because we experienced their dedication and professionalism firsthand. Thank you so much again to the entire law firm for helping us through one of the most difficult experiences of our lives. We will always be grateful for everything you have done for us. Maraming, maraming salamat po, and more power to all of you!

Karthik Krishnan handled my case out of the Compton Courthouse and was able to get the case dismissed, which was a huge relief and helped keep my record clean. He was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the process, and I always felt like I understood what was going on with my case. I really appreciated the way he handled everything from start to finish and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a good attorney.
