Years ago, he was hired. Did an excellent job in the court room & very knowledgeable & experienced in defense. Also, he's rated very well in Google under Garcia Law Firm! Many people have been pleased with his work over the years but due to the nature of cases want to remain anonymous.

I would highly recommend this attorney. Bernardo has extensive experience and a huge network of attorneys. Bernardo demands respect and is a dynamite. Bernardo is not intimidated by the court room and will take it to court If need be. He's well worth retaining and you would not regret the choice of h is representation. Highly recommend!

I really appreciate Jay Brown for taking the time and handling this matter promptly. He is very dedicated to his work and not many Public Defendants take the time to take calls and speak to people. Jay Brown is a great asset to community and I wish him the best. Thank you.

I wanted to take some time out to thank you, Mr. Brown for all you did in taking out the time for my case. The work you do is important and so appreciated. I just wanted to express my deep gratitude for the dedicated work you do day after day. If not for you, I would have not gotten the representat ion that was afforded to me. I thank you for the advice and direction that was also given. May you be continually blessed and all that you do, you are needed for a lot of the under privileged people who may not be able to afford your services. Again, may I say thank you!

He did a wonderful job on my case he went above and beyond went as far as hiring a private investigator for my case even though he didn’t have to when I already had a plea agreement signed and accepted and went out of his way to to bring to light the new found evidence which got my charges dismissed. I would highly recommend he is an outstanding Attorney.

Mr. Brown was not only fast and diligent, he was very understanding and helpful. He explained everything to detail so I could understand everything that was going on. He's is good at what he does, and he was very sympathetic to my story and did an AMAZING job at getting my plea deal to the best-cas e scenario. I have dealt with the court system before and I honestly had no hope in getting a good Public defender, Mr. Brown not only gave me hope he showed me that i can believe and trust in the public defenders office. He did an outstanding job and was very knowledgeable and just a genuine person, I had to show and prove to him who I was as well and he in return "he came to Bat for me" so too say and did just that. I can’t thank him enough for what he did for me and I’m very grateful ill will be able to continue with my life and keep my studies ongoing because of the great job he did. Thank you Mr. Brown, I hope the public defenders office appreciates he as much as I do, I am in your debt sir!!! Thanks again and have a blessed day.

I hired Ms. Cassels to advise me on a child welfare issue. She listened attentively, asked pointed questions that helped her quickly determine the critical and time sensitive details of my issues, and was then able to recommend a course of action that resolved my problems within a couple of days. Her quick response as well as her ability to recommend appropriate resources in multiple states helped minimize my stress during a very difficult experience.

Julia is a very trustworthy and responsive lawyer: she is always available wen you need her and she made a "complex process" easy to perform. She is also pricing her legal services correctly !

I used Julia Cassels for the formation of an LLC; she kept informed and in the loop throughout the process and handle the paperwork smoothly. I whole-heartedly recommend her.

Ms. Cassels represented my family member. Her professionalism and straight forward approach was truly appreciated. She went above and beyond the call of duty making sure all research was completed and questions were answered. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone, who faces adversity w ith the judicial system. She's truly one of the best!!

We didn’t like our situation but once we started working with Mr Gillespie every went really smooth. In particular his response time was extremely timely and was a great comfort in an uncomfortable situation.

anonymous · May 2026

The Gillespie team was amazing. Very supportive throughout the entire process. Always available to answer questions and extremely helpful whenever needed. They helped me and my family more than I thought possible. Greatly appreciate their help and would recommend them to everyone!

Craig and his team did an incredible job representing my husband. With an initial potential sentencing of up to 100 years in prison, Craig and his team worked tirelessly sorting through evidence and working with various specialists to achieve the most favorable outcome possible. He was always willing to answer our numerous questions throughout the entire process. He was very professional and able to help us navigate a challenging time. By the end of the case, we were able to settle on a 6 year sentence instead of the initial 100 year sentence. He did an incredible job and I would highly recommend him to anybody.

After deciding to retain private counsel and researching online I got in touch with a few attorney offices. One did not practice in the matter. The other I would describe as pushy, wanting me to act quickly, caring more about getting me under contract then my situation. In contrast Brenda (Legal Assi stant to Attorney Craig Gillespie) was professional, easy to talk to, and I felt wanted to help me. Craig had a similar demeanor, once engaged he acted quickly on my case. At each of our court appearances Craig was greeted by a different colleague and they exchanged pleasantries. I feel this indicates he is known and respected among his peers. Overall he operated with integrity and maintained a positive relationship with the Court / opposing counsel. While nothing can guarantee a favorable outcome in these matters, I feel that having a positive relationship can help ensure a fair outcome.

Craig has been an absolute GODSENT for our family. In our despair Craig was able to navigate and shield us from any hardships we were anticipating. We are so grateful for Craig and Mali throughout the whole entire process. We prayed and Craig delivered a fair result we are all at peace with. Thank yo u Craig for your effort. Our family is forever grateful. God bless!

I found myself in a mess that blind sided me out of nowhere. My whole life, I had never been in trouble before and I was looking at charges that could literally have put me away. I live out of state and there were not any attorneys available in the locality where the problem occurred. I searched Pho enix and found David's website. I spoke with David by phone and he had a calmness about him. He didn't scare me into why I needed to hire him, unlike another attorney I had talked to prior. David helped myself and my husband, through the worse time of our lives. David is professional but yet easy to talk to. He would always calm me down and help me see the best of things when I was freaking out and emotional. He also has a sense of humor. I could not have asked for a better outcome. A heavy weight has been lifted and I can go back to living my life again, thanks to the expertise of David Black.

Within just a few minutes of my first meeting with David, I was instantly put at ease and felt incredibly comfortable. He is well spoken and will work tirelessly to best represent his clients. The first thing he did was give me a direct contact number for him, which I was able to use throughout my le gal proceedings. He also kept true on his promise of keeping me out of a courtroom unless absolutely necessary, and when I was present, I simply sat next to him and did not have to say a word. His team is very detailed and all questions I had were immediately answered. David's honesty and prompt responses kept my anxiety about the legal processes at bay and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

I had never been in legal trouble before and never expected to need a criminal defense attorney. The matter I faced was not criminal in nature, but it had implications for an ongoing family court situation, so it was extremely important that everything was handled carefully and we couldn’t take any c hances. Mr. Black went above and beyond to make sure every angle was covered. He even contacted my family attorney and consulted with a colleague to ensure everything was handled properly from a family court standpoint. Mr. Black was extremely responsive. I emailed him on Super Bowl night and he replied right away just to acknowledge he had received it. He responds to texts quickly and communicates in a way that feels approachable, which is rare and almost unheard of with any attorney I have ever worked with. Mr. Black is well spoken, professional, courteous, and compassionate. Most importantly, he worked very hard for my case. During a very stressful time in my life, his calm demeanor helped tremendously. What can I say — this man understands the assignment. We won! I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me and make my voice heard in court. Thank you, Mr. Black and your Team!

I don’t have enough good to say about David Black, he was a breath of fresh air! a very experienced, diligent, ethical, attorney that I would recommend to anyone! He went above and beyond from beginning to end seeing my case through. His entire team was a pleasure to work with through a difficult time.

John · criminal defense · May 2026

When my son was arrested, I had no idea where to start. After hearing scare tactics from another attorney, I received a call back from David (on a weekend!!!) and he was both calm and reassuring. A former prosecutor, he knew his way around the court system and the outcome was wonderful. He took bot h my calls and my sons calls with any questions that we had. Highly recommend hiring David for any criminal defense needs.
