I couldn’t be happier with the representation I received from Visco & Selyum. Thank you Michael for going above and beyond to make what would otherwise be a nightmare into a very pleasant experience. Nazareth Martinez2023-04-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr. Visco was extremely helpful over the phone and answered all my questions. Thank you so much for the peace of mind! daniela blagojevic2023-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attorney Michael Selyem is someone I recommend without hesitation. He has so much knowledge because of his experience as a police officer, a prosecutor and a criminal defense lawyer. He literally knew what the other side was going to do before they even did it. On my case, he successfully got my DUI case dismissed in exchange for a plea to an infraction. His actions in the court room saved my freedom, my job and my professional license. Mr. Selyem took the time to listen to me and my concerns. He always made sure I understood what was going on throughout the entire process. Any time I called or text him he responded immediately. I would recommend Mr. Selyem to my family and friends any time! Jesse Gonzalez2023-04-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joshua Vasco helped a relative of mine through a very dark and troubling experience and provided guidance, knowledge, and reassurance throughout the entire process. Mr. Vasco explained the process we were going through and answered all the questions we ever asked him. Having worked in the district attorney's office in San Bernardino County, it is obvious Mr. Vasco knows his way around the San Bernardino Courthouse as well is familiar with the players involved. Joshua's level of professionalism, kindness, and competence is off the charts and is someone I would rely on if I ever find myself in need of awesome legal representation. A call to Josh would be an absolute no-brainer for me for any legal need! Josh is the real Deal! Thank you, Mr. Vasco!! Shane HardWood2023-04-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr. Selyem responded quickly and professionally. Choosing him was a no brained based on his experience in law enforcement and his experience in the courtroom. He completely saved my bacon! I couldn’t be happier! Lane Owens2023-04-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My name is Lane Owens and Michael Selyem represented me recently when I was charged with a murder that I was not involved in, as well as several other cases with a maximum exposure of life in prison plus 20 more years. Thanks to his extensive knowledge of the law and his experience in trial he was able to get the murder charge dismissed by a 99.5 motion as well as time served for the remaining cases, with no probation or parole. Michael literally saved my life and as far as I'm concerned he is the best attorney out there. Roy2023-03-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
