Lessem, Newstat & Tooson, LLP

Jamal came highly recommended, and he lived up to every word. He showed care, patience, and real commitment from day one. His staff stood out right away. They stayed in touch, followed up, and kept me informed at every step. I never felt left in the dark. Communication stayed clear and consistent. The process felt organized and respectful. Jamal and his team treated my situation like it mattered. I trusted them, and they delivered. I am grateful for the support and would recommend Jamal without hesitation.

Ricky I would like to thank you wholeheartedly for representing this case in court. I sat in court each time, and I was very impressed with how knowledgeable you are with legal laws. I could not understand how a soft spoken young man could have such impact at each court hearing but you proved that knowledge is power. I was very impressed each time. What I did understand is that you cared, and you persisted in defending and winning the case, in my mind you won the case because the outcome was favorable to us. And to my surprise you were able to have the case dismissed six months earlier. I want to thank you for such I fine job. You are such an asset to your law firm. With the way you are fighting for innocent peoples rights, I can see you and your firm being among the top lawyers and law firms. I know that you all practice teamwork because of how efficient your law firm runs, all calls are answered. All information is given, and most important all police reports, medical records and evidence are read completely without room for any errors. Ariana, what a team player she us on top of every duty on her desk, I’m very grateful that she was quick to keep everything in check. Thank you Ariana. A case in court is nerve racking, but not once your law firm is hired, you receive the relief that they will take over with no doubt that your loved one is in good hands with the best representation in the area. I sincerely recommend this law firm. Thank you again everyone. Sincerely Maria Daniel

Jeremy, Ricky, Arianna and Jamal. This team really went all out to help my son deal with his case. They got him on mental health diversion, and within a year and a half his case was dismissed and his arrest record was sealed. They know how to get things moving in court. But they also understand mental health disorders, how these clients can get entangled with the criminal justice system, and the various court or county programs that can help minimize their trauma. If you're looking for a legal team that is compassionate but professional, you can't go wrong with Lessem, Newstat & Tooson, LLP. As the former Executive Director of NAMI Ventura County, I recommend this firm enthusiastically.

Jeremy and Jamal changed my life! They were the best attorneys anyone could ever ask for! They won my case and bettered my entire life. They cared about me as a person not just a client and I will never ever use another attorney. Thank you Arianna, Jeremy and Jay! You guys are the best!

Personally, there are not enough stars to rate this establishment. Danielle and Arianna went above and beyond! Extremely professional, on top of every request I had. Definetly, recommend this firm to everyone!

Jamal did an excellent job

Since my last review, Mr. Newstat has continued to fight diligently on my behalf in the Ventura County court system...his knowledge, experience and professionalism has earned us very favorable outcomes in my case...he was patient with my case and worked hard for me...I would further recommend Josh Newstat to anyone looking for criminal defense in or around Ventura County

I was researching attorneys online like most people that havent found themselves in a situation before where needing an attorney was necessary. Not knowing any attorneys personally and not fully understanding my situation I came across Lessem & Newstat website and am I glad I did. Josh and his staff were extrememly helpful. Josh went above and beyond to make sure I received the best possible outcome in my case. He was able to negotiate a better deal than I was even expecting. I can not say enough good things about this law firm. If you are trying to choose the right attorney for your situtation make sure he is at the top of your list. He made sure the outcome was quick and easy.

I am extremely happy I chose Mr. Newstat to take care of my case. He was very professional and spoke with experience. I strongly recommend him, I don’t believe he could have done anything better. He answered anything I asked and informed me about things I didn't know about, if anything I believe my procrastination was the only thing to slow him down.

My experience with Joshua Newstat was my first experience using a lawyer in my defense and I could not be happier with my choice. He was diligent, hard working, congenial, and really went out of his way for me. The entire legal process was new to me and Mr. Newstat held my hand through the whole ordeal and made sure I both understood what was going on and what my options where but also is a friendly person with a personality that truly helped reduce my stress level in what was one of the most high stress situations of my life. If I found myself in need of a lawyer again in the future there is no doubt in my mind I would go straight for his number which will remain in my cell from now on. Joshua Newstat is my lawyer and I recommend he be yours also.
