![]() I regard Gassia Apkarian as one of the most competent and well-regarded attorneys in Orange County. She worked with me on a payment plan that I could afford for my budget, and did an outstanding job at representing me on my case. She was invaluable to me in achieving a better result on the outcome of my case. She is well-known and highly-esteemed among her peers, she was always available to me for questions I had throughout the process and always kept me updated, and I firmly believe she achieved the best result for me possible through her hard work and expertise. I highly recommend Gassia Apkarian for anyone in need of legal representation! -- A. Craig Just as I turned 18, peer pressure took its way and got me into great loads of trouble. I found myself behind the backseat of a police car after being arrested for burglary. When I had thought that my life was over, with a felony on my record; my mom waisted no time to get an attorney. Fortunately we came across Philip Zalewski. Not being familiar with breaking the law and afraid of what was to come, Phil assured me that everything would be okay. From being charged with a felony, Philip was determined and successful in the dismissal of my case. Without his compassion and commitment to defend me, I'd have a record that would prevent me from pursuing my dreams. I would recommend his defense to anyone. -- Thank you Phil! "I worked with Gassia over an extended period of time on a large criminal
defense case. Besides being an extremely competent criminal defense
attorney, she is highly intuitive and understands the big picture. I found
her to be highly intelligent, committed, hardworking, personable and a
pleasure to work with. She obtained a quick grasp of matters financial,
which impressed me since this is not her professional training." -- Saul

She told me to come on over right away. Within a minute of talking to her I felt at ease, and safe. She told me exactly what to do to get that person off my back, and to keep the police and sheriff at bay. I have been safe ever since. She works with great empathy, and her fee is very, very reasonable. If I need a criminal defense attorney again, it’ll be Ms. Gassia Apkarian." -- Khalid "Working with Phil Zalewski was a very professional experience.
