Courtney and Anita are nothing short of BRILLIANT. They are the DREAM TEAM you are looking for. These women are fierce, intelligent, and compassionate. They are without a doubt Angels. My loved one was accused of a terrible, disgusting crime that he did not commit. He was innocent. Courtney and Anita got his case dismissed. They were compassionate, straight forward, and they were not willing to back down. They know how to strategize and WIN. They are not afraid to stand up to a DA or a Judge. They are incredibly hard workers. They got our loved one out of custody and back to his family where he

I couldn't have asked for a better team when I got Courtney and Anita to represent me. I cannot begin to describe how grateful I am for these women. These women are cunning, intelligent, confident, and overall RUTHLESS. I never felt worried about the case for as long as I had them by my side. I truly thank them for giving me my freedom and my life back.

My parents were blindsided by an incredibly large and complicated set of charges. The other lawyers they consulted were intimidated by the scope and complexity of the case, and we're slow to act. After one meeting with Pilchman and Kay, we knew they were the only option. They jumped into action immediately, and we're relentless in there defense. They took a very complicated set of charges that seemed insurmountable and delivered a complete dismissal of all charges. They are intelligent and ceaselessly diligent, I could not recommend Pilchman and Kay any more highly.

I would like to thank Courtney for dedicating her time on my case. She listened to what I had to say and sorted out all of the details of my case. Courtney is cunning and very intelligent knowing what to say and delivering the story to the judge/jury. she is without biased opinions. She fought my case with tenacity and precision picking the prosecution apart at my hearing. Even after my chargers were dropped, she sent me vital documents that I asked for from her within a timely manner. If it were not for her and her firm, I would not have received my promotion. If you need a defense attorney, I

Professional, personable and SUCCESSFUL in court!! I was lucky enough to have a friend who knew these attorneys and hired them over the phone. I was actually able to forget about my legal troubles because they handle everything! I had former F.B.I. Agents and IRS agents on my side to prove my innocence. I owe this firm a huge debt of gratitude!

Let me start from the beginning. I live in South Orange County. I had a minor traffic ticket I was looking to pay off in San Bernardino County (Rialto Courthouse to be exact). I called to get the info so I could either go pay it or set an appointment for a court date so I could make payments. I was informed I had a felony warrant for my arrest for Taking over $400 from a disabled elderly person and a $50,000 bond. I am completely in shock at this point because I thought there must have been a mistake since I have never and would never do such a thing. We contacted my husband’s Attorney Gary Pohlson
