“Arezou Bakhtjou is a resourceful and knowledgable defense attorney who possesses the essential skills that define a truly great attorney. I first met her in 2011 when I was volunteering with the Riverside County Public Defender’s Office where she worked full time, handling cases from misdemeanors all the way up to felonies. Not only is she a skilled negotiator who understands all aspects of criminal defense, she is a brilliant trial lawyer too, winning a whole host of cases. Her compassion and respect for her clients is unmatched when it comes to Public Defenders, who often have unreasonably large case loads. She always seems to take the time to know the defendant, the facts of the case, any possible defenses, and always builds trust and good relationships with the prosecution. Now that she has entered private practice, I have no doubt whatsoever she will continue to provide superior legal representation. If you need a criminal defense attorney, look no further than Ms. Bakhtjou.” – Kapesh Vithal Patel
