When I went to Childers and Associates I was living a nightmare. I had to resign my dream job in law enforcement, I was facing felony charges, and a potential prison sentence. My ex-wife had falsely accused me of domestic violence, she’d promised she ruin my life and now she was attempting to do it.

In our first meeting, as soon as Mr. Childers and I began speaking he put me at ease, and unlike some lawyers he was easy to understand, and took the time to listen to me. I made it clear that I would not plead guilty to anything since I had done nothing wrong, and Mr. Childers agreed he would fight my case until it was dismissed or we won at trial.

In court, at our first hearing with witnesses, Mr. Childers was able to cross-examine my ex-wife exposing her lies, it went so well that my case was reduced to a misdemeanor, a big win but we weren’t done fighting. The DA would not budge on my case, so we had to take my case to trial. It is stressful, but it always made me feel good that Mr. Childers was confident in my innocence and in his ability to convince a jury of it too.

My trial was nerve wracking but also so enjoyable watching Mr. Childers skillfully expose every lie being told by my ex-wife. Every time the DA tried to do something my lawyer was prepared and knocked it down time after time. As I sat through the trial, especially Mr. Childers final argument to the jury, I knew I could not have made a better choice for my lawyer, I knew I was getting my life back. The jury took less than an hour to find me not guilty. At the end of the trial I knew that I wasn’t just a case to Mr. Childers but he actually cared, and I’m grateful that he worked so hard to help me.

I’m sorry this is such a long review, but so much happened that I don’t know how else explain it. Let me finish by saying, I can say without any doubt that if you need a lawyer, you have to hire the best and there is no question that Mr. Childers and his firm Childers & Associates are the best.

After my father was brutally murdered, This law firm unethically accused my father publicly in the imperial valley press of being an abusive father for many years without any evidence besides the killer which they stepped down from defending after redeeming their " minutes of lime light from the press". I'd NEVER recommend such horrid, cruel and disgusting representation. Who in their right mind would represent such violence pro bono in the hopes of reaping some type of fame or career advancement. Disgusting. Good luck doing business with these people. Think twice. If they'd do it to my poor dad they do it to yours. There's many more available ethical lawyers out there to help you with good intentions. God Bless.

Ryan Childers handled my case with a high level of professionalism and aggressively defended me in my DUI. He successfully negotiated a great plea agreement and I would recommend his firm to anyone considering in retaining a defense attorney.
