Experience the Difference of a Woman Owned Law Firm

We see people come to court alone, without an attorney, and the stressful look on their face as they stand in front of a judge. At Lamano Law Office, our Oakland criminal defense attorneys will hold your hand every step of the way and help you understand the legal process.

Our firm values compassion, so when you hire us, we understand how stressful this can be. A lot of times, we arrange for the judge to let us appear without you ever stepping foot into the courtroom, so you avoid the embarrassment or anxiety of standing in front of a judge or being seen in a criminal courtroom.

The difference of working with a woman owned firm is not just empathy for your vulnerable situation but our strategic approach with a 150-point inspection of every case. This ensures that no stone is left unturned in your defense. We go over our unique, proven checklist to show the holes in your police investigation and fight tooth and nail to get you the best result.

The lawyer who can deliver the results you need.

"Atty. Lamano was very responsive. I called the office in the morning and she was in court at the time. She gave me a call that same morning (I suppose she had a break during court) to talk to me about my case. She took down all the details of the case and explained all my options in detail. The fact that she was more concerned with my case instead of getting hired is a testament to her unselfish character. I felt I could trust her because of this, and I didn't felt pressure to hire her right away because she gave me other options I could do myself. I would definitely recommend her."

Givelle is incredibly knowledge and will fight to help you with your legal problems. She will even break down the entire legal process to you ensure you have a full understanding of what to expect. I liked her direct and honest approach in informing me all the potential outcomes that could occur with my case. Thanks to all of her advice and hard work, I had a great outcome in my case!"

Givelle Lamano is that lawyer! I am very thankful for what she has done for me.

"From the initial conversation with Givelle, I felt at ease, and even though she recommended I not hire her, I did anyway for peace of mind. I high recommend Lamano Law if you're looking for someone to not only help but to also give you detailed information and leave no questions of what needs to be done or what is expected of you. Thank you Givelle!"
