Decker Law

I had a five-star experience with this law-firm defending against an anti-SLAPP motion. James and Griffin are excellent attorneys with extensive knowledge across all aspects of the law. They are highly detail-oriented and have outstanding drafting skills. Just as importantly, they always listen to their clients, keep them informed, and act in their best interests. They reach out only when necessary, which shows genuine sensitivity to their clients’ time and budget.

James Decker did an outstanding job in getting my trial court dismissal reversed in the Court of Appeal. James is a highly competent attorney of great integrity. The briefs he filed on my behalf were exceptionally well-written. He also did a very good job summarizing our position and fielding questions during the oral argument phase. Without reservation, I highly recommend James Decker as an attorney.

Griffin and James provided extraordinary legal service for us! We faced a challenging case where the other side, in my opinion, made the process quite complicated. Thankfully, we had Griffin and James on our side. They were honest, sympathetic, and professional. Their calm approach and expertise really shielded us from the stress, and they handled complex situations efficiently—often resolving issues behind the scenes without our involvement. Whenever our input was needed, they gave clear guidance and thoughtful advice so we could make the best decisions. In the end, we prevailed completely and were even awarded our legal fees in full. We were so impressed with their work that we gave them a bonus to show our appreciation. We couldn’t have asked for better lawyers — thank you, Griffin and James! It was an absolute pleasure working with you both.

If you are a nurse, in a health field, or just anyone in need of an exceptional Appeals Attorney, I urge you to read this review. Griffin Schindler of Decker Law will fight his hardest with legal expertise, strategic insight, and relentless advocacy. What Griffin Schindler has done for me is nothing short of a miracle. Twice. I am grateful to him for having my Nurse Practitioner license reinstated. He took on my cases and won when several other attorneys would not, warning me that they were nearly impossible to win. After years of attorneys who promised me trial but did not after taking my money, I desperately succumbed to the belief that legally, you get what you pay for. I paid dearly for Vince Tucci, who promised me trial or a resolution equal to or better. After being pressured and misled by Vince Tucci - who had touted himself as Legal Jesus - into accepting the Guilty Plea, I lost my right to trial and soon thereafter the Board of Nursing revoked my nursing license. I immediately sought to overturn the Guilty Plea. Despite the inordinate difficulty of overturning a guilty plea, I held faith in the justice system and found Griffin. His knowledge of the law, courtroom skills, and conviction for me led to achieving the reversal of the Guilty Plea, with the judge stating that I had been “bullied” and “strong-armed” into accepting it. I retained Griffin again to fight the California Board of Nursing to rescind the Revocation of my nursing licenses. He argued that the Board must in light of the fact that the convictions were vacated and void, but the Board’s Deputy Attorney General Craig Menchin refused. I was repeatedly reminded by my nurse and doctor peers, friends, and other attorneys that appealing the Board’s decision was nearly impossible and would cost me more money and time due to The California Board of Nursing being untouchable behind the façade of protecting the public. At times, I grew doubtful and fearful, but Griffin took the time to explain the law and how even the Almighty California Board of Nursing was not above the Law. Griffin’s meticulous attention to detail, legal acumen, his tenacity, and eventual courtroom presence resulted in his exposing the Board’s injustice: On June 24, 2025, in The Superior Court of the State of California, the Honorable James C. Chalfant granted my 2024 Petition for Writ of Administrative Mandamus; and a Judgment and Writ were issued remanding the Board not only to reverse revocation of my nursing license but its “decision in its entirety.” In the end, the Honorable Chalfant stated “I don’t know why the Board did what it did” in reference to the Board’s refusal to reverse the revocation. Griffin was able to win not only one but two extremely challenging cases in which the odds were against us. His ability to navigate two very difficult legal cases was exceptional, for which I am indebted; but I am in awe that he was available to answer questions and keep me informed about every step of the process when he had so much work to do for me and other clients. He provided reassurance, alleviated anxiety, gave me hope during both cases, and genuinely cared about my situation and me as a person. Months later, I was finally able to have my trial and was found innocent by the Jury of the DUI of Drug charge. I received a call from Griffin, who congratulated me with such joy! I was stunned that he knew nearly every major detail of the case, and it turned out that he had been following along every day of the trial. Even after he stopped being my lawyer, he still cared.

Outstanding insights and excellent legal writing helped us prepare and file an excellent brief. I appreciated their responsiveness, support and collaboration.

Griffin Schindler and the team at Decker Law are exceptional. I engaged Decker Law on a complex appellate issue and Griffin and the team came through with flying colors. I make the highest recommendation possible for Decker law, both as a long-time licensed attorney in California and as a client. Thank you, Decker Law!

I had heard great things about Decker Law and their reputation for providing top-notch legal representation, so l decided to reach out to them for assistance with a fraudulent real estate transaction that l had inadvertently become involved in. Despite being prepared to accept full responsibility for my error, I was disappointed by the lack of communication from Mr. Decker and his team. After sending several important filings and documents to the firm, I never received a phone call back or any form of acknowledgment. This lack of follow-up was extremely frustrating, especially considering Decker Law's esteemed five-star rating. As a potential client seeking competent legal representation, I expected a higher level of customer service and responsiveness from a firm of their caliber. In the legal field, timely communication and attentiveness to client needs are crucial, and unfortunately, my experience with Decker Law left much to be desired in these areas. While I cannot speak to their legal expertise, I believe that maintaining strong communication and providing quality customer service should be paramount for any reputable law firm. On October 7, 2024. I was contacted by Attorney James Decker to hopefully resolve my review. (Update Pending)*

"I would like to express my complete gratitude for the work that James and his firm provided me with in regard to a very concerning civil case I have been navigating my way through. James made me feel very assured in his ability to get the job done. Straightforward and transparent from the first phone call. James won my appeal and gave the other side no room to move. James is kind, skillful, and direct. I would not hesitate to use his services again, yet hope I never have the need. I highly recommend his firm." Sincerely, Ryan Chetaud

James is truly a god send and fixed my life completely. Someone heinously defamed me and doubled down on it. A civil court didn’t see through the incidentals to the truth and it took an appellate attorney to render Justice, a smart and capable and strong and morally sound attorney. James Decker is that person. It was an honor to work with him, he brought light back in the darkness through his phenomenal legal work.

James is an incredible attorney! I had a very complex issue in my case and needed to speak with a knowledgeable attorney quickly. I contacted Decker Law and was immediately routed to James' line where he walked me through the law surrounding my case. He was such a great advisor. I highly recommend Decker Law!
