I highly recommend Aaron Palley to anyone in need of legal representation. His knowledge, integrity, and unwavering dedication to his clients make him an outstanding attorney. Sincerely, Steven

I cannot recommend this law firm enough. I was helping search for the best criminal defense team to fight a serious case involving a violation of the 4th Amendment. Helping one who, was facing a loaded firearm charge with felony priors, and needed the strongest legal representation possible. After leaving a voicemail, Rabin personally returned my call within 30 minutes even outside of office hours. He immediately gave us the best deal possible, explained the process in detail, and was upfront about the odds we were facing. At the same time, he made us feel confident that we had the right team on our side. Aaron was the attorney who worked closely with us throughout the case. He was incredibly communicative, consistently updated us, and gathered every piece of information needed to build the strongest defense. Thanks to his dedication, skill, and persistence, Aaron got the case dismissed with ease. Both Rabin and Aaron went above and beyond, and we are deeply grateful for their hard work as well as the entire team working behind the scenes. If you or anyone you know needs a criminal defense lawyer, this is the firm you want by your side. They truly fight for their clients, and the results show! Thank you, Rabin and Aaron, for everything!

I can’t say enough good things about working with Aaron Palley. My case was one of the hardest experiences of my life, and having him in my corner made all the difference. He was patient, direct, and always told me the truth, even when it was hard to hear. Thanks to Aaron’s guidance and preparation, we won my case and the court granted me the protection I needed. I felt like my side of the story was finally understood. I’m incredibly grateful and would recommend Aaron to anyone who needs a strong advocate.

Very happy to have worked with such a reliable, professional, passionate, and efficient group. I myself have a lot of trouble with understanding the legal process but it didn’t matter because summit defense was able to educate me on the topic as well as give me the confidence that my situation will be resolved in the best and quickest way possible. Thank you to the crew and to whoever needs their services just know you’ll be in great care!

I beat my DVRO case thanks to Mr. Aaron Palley. He was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cared about my situation. His guidance made all the difference. I highly recommend him and Summit Law.

I haven't written a review in while but Rabin's help in securing a restraining order against a crazy neighbor was truly invaluable. After two years of constant issues, I seriously felt helpless until a friend recommended Rabin from Summit Defense. I am incredibly thankful for the support and resolution he provided!

Aaron Palley was phenomenal in getting my case dismissed. I can’t say enough good things about Aaron and Summit. I highly recommend Summit and will be using them again should the need arise. Thanks again Aaron!

Aaron Palley is a great attorney who was professional in my dealings with him. He was not the only attorney I dealt with at the firm but he is the only one I'm mentioning. Take that for what you will.

I needed help, and I am an attorney, so I know a serious effort when I see one. I have never in my life been more helped by anyone than these guys. Aaron saved my life, and I would always count on this firm.

I can't say enough good things about my lawyer, Rabin Nabizadeh. He was not only professional but also genuinely empathetic and personal throughout my case. Despite my language barrier, he makes sure I understood everything and he was always ready to go the extra mile. He won my case! If you're looking for a lawyer who truly cares, especially if you are new or low-income, look no further.

Thank you so much Aaron palley for your help. Highly recommend

I worked with Rabin and Aaron Palley. They both were super attentive and took care of pretty much everything fairly quick. I had no issues at all during my time with them and they are both intelligent lawyers. They took care of me liked family. Overall had a great deal and the case was successful.

My lawyer Mr. Palley was professional in everyway, even made one more court appearance for me without charge. I hope I don't need to use lawyer services again, but if I do it will be Summit.

CALLED THEM LESS THAN 24 HOURS OF MY COURT APPEARANCE AND THEY PULLED THROUGH. I wouldn’t advise to wait last minute like I did, but very grateful for Aaron Palley (attorney). He got the job done for me and basically got my case dismissed. I would highly recommend him and this firm. They’re very punctual about how they operate. PS. I reside in LA and they handled everything for me while I stayed in LA. They’re the truth!

Attorneys are very knowledgeable and genuinely seem interested in helping their clients get the best legal outcome. Made me feel immediately better about my legal situation. I highly recommend them and will return should I ever find myself in a similar situation again.

Working with Summit Defense was a no hassle, streamlined experience. I had to do absolutely nothing, while they did all of the heavy lifting. They consistently kept me in the loop, and to top it off, they made sure their fee did not break the bank. While I hope to never need legal services again, if I ever did, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Aaron Palley & Ross Pytlik again @ Summit Defense!

Collin represented me and did an amazing job. He had great communication, explained everything I needed to do very clearly and helped me get through a tough time. Once I called they took my case right away and they are inexpensive. One thing I appreciated was they were honest about the process and let me know what to expect. Thank you for everything and helping me with my case. I highly recommend this firm for anything you’re going through.

Received a pretty threatening call from SFPD or what I thought to be SFPD. So naturally freaked out I called in to get representation. The lawyer I spoke to said it seemed fishy and that they had been having issues with scams in the area. Mind you I’ve never been near San Francisco in my life. He asked to let him follow up before we talked any payment and sure enough it turned out to be fake and they scammer sum how copied the police number. Anyway, they could have taken my money or a small retainer to ask the questions but they didn’t take advantage of me in a situation that was more than easy to do so. The responded quickly and followed up and really helped me out without any reason to do so. Couldn’t say enough about my experience with this firm.
