After a personal dispute escalated into serious legal allegations, the client was left feeling betrayed by both a former friend and their initial legal representation.

Through meticulous case review and strategic legal action, Kersey Law dismantled the false claims, leading to a full dismissal of all charges. This case underscores the importance of skilled legal representation when facing unfounded accusations.
Charges Dropped
August, 21th 2024
When our client walked into our office, the stakes couldn't have been higher. Charged with carjacking under Penal Code 215, with allegations of personal infliction of great bodily injury and the use of a knife, he faced an uphill battle. On top of that, four aggravating factors were in play, threatening to make him eligible for the maximum sentence of 16 years and 8 months in prison. Adding to the complexity, he had another case that could have added two more years if found guilty.
Not Guilty
July, 16th 2024
As a criminal defense attorney, I often encounter cases that test the very fabric of justice. One such case involved a young male client facing serious charges, including attempted murder, shooting at an inhabited dwelling, and various firearm-related offenses. The severity of these charges meant that my client was looking at a potential life sentence, with an additional 20-year firearm enhancement, leading to a daunting prospect of over 30 years to life in prison.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for the outstanding representation provided by attorney Jamahl Kersey and his team. As a parent, it's deeply reassuring to have an attorney who not only understands the complexities of the law but also genuinely cares about the well-being of their clients. From the start, Mr. Kersey’s office was incredibly supportive, keeping me well-informed and demonstrating a clear, effective strategy. Remarkably, he even won another case the day before my son’s court appearance—two wins in a single day! We are truly grateful for his dedication and expertise.
The kersey law firm is an excellent law firm. Jamal is extremely knowledgeable in his field and I would recommend him to anyone. He Was very detailed oriented and thoughtful when he advised me on my case. I appreciate his personal touch and customer service.
I googled aggressive criminal attorneys in San Diego and immediately Kersey Law came up- I read each and every 5 star review, which at the time was about 100- I wanted to read real stories, read about real results just not fluff. I was in need of a new criminal attorney who was going to be ethical and honest with me- My previous attorney literally hung me out to dry not even fighting for my innocence. Jamahl And his team took the time to know me as a person, reviewed my case with a fine tooth comb and guided me through the process . Jamahl Was direct! Transparent! And took the time to explain processes and supported me throughout this case. I was put at ease the moment I had my first phone call and immediately knew I chose the right attorney who would fight for my innocence! Much gratitude!🙏 Words can not explain how much you helped me, how much you believed in me! The outcome was phenomenal and I knew it would be with you!
