I endorse this lawyer. Givelle and I have worked together in the past; I can attest to her passion and devotion to clients. I refer clients to Givelle without hesitation as I know she will provide them with quality advice when they need it most. If you are looking for a fantastic criminal attorney, look no further than Givelle.
The term, "criminal defense" is a broad term, that many crimes can fall under. Fortunately, the Lamano Law Office is highly experienced in a wide range of criminal cases. If you've been accused of a felony or misdemeanor offense, your best choice is to not face the charges alone and hire one of our experienced criminal defense lawyers to fight on your side.
There is often a lot of confusion surrounding a charge of assault and/or battery. While many people are charged with both, the truth is that these are two separate charges. Assault is defined as an unlawful attempt with ability to commit violence on a person. Battery, on the other hand, is defined as the unlawful use of force upon a person.
Any lewd or sexual contact with a minor under the age of 14 could leave you vulnerable to child molestation charges. The penalty for such crimes can be very serious. In recent years it has become common for sentences of up to 25 years or more to be levied against those found guilty under Section 288.7 of the California Penal Code.
Domestic violence and domestic battery/assault is a very serious problem in the eyes of the law. In the past, very few offenders were ever arrested or held accountable for their actions in a domestic violence situation, especially when there is little to no evidence of severe abuse. Today, law enforcement is compelled to arrest domestic violence offenders, either male or female, if there are any visible injuries to the complaining party.

Givelle and crew are amazing at what they do! Easily accessable, down to earth and will go through all your options and possible outcomes step by step with a refreshing clarity that is usually unfounded with other law offices. Having experienced one of the worst days of my life, and being lost in a system that makes it difficult for the average joe to navigate, it was such a weight off my shoulders to know that Givelle had my back. One call is all it took. A quick and speedy response followed and I got the assurance I needed to be able to push forward with my life. Givelle is sweet, funny and

I was in a tough situation and the Lamano team was able to provide very informative information for me. They broke things down for me to better understand what was going on and view my potential outcomes. They are great at responding back via phone, text or email. They stay in touch with you and keep you posted of any changes. If in need of legal represantation don't look any further and contact the Lamano Law Office.

I've seen first hand how this law firm works, and they are the best. Not just because they care, which they truly do, but because they are very passionate at what they do. They treat their clients with patience, respect and courtesy during their stressful situations and go the extra mile to do what they can for them.

I cannot recommend Lamano Law and Attorney Manjula highly enough. Based on my experience, Attorney Manjula knows the law & skillfully applies that knowledge to ably represent her clients. She strives for success, bringing to bear not only her talents but those of her colleagues, such as Justine. That drive, expertise and skill led for me to a far better result than I could have imagined. And all along, Attorney Manjula and her team showed compassion and genuine caring. Thank you all!
