Hired Attorney

I'm a retired police officer who was arrested and charged for battery on a police officer during a very low moment in my life. I don't recall the incident because I was intoxicated and So you can imagine how stressed and embarrased I was. I specifically sought out an attorney that had experience on both sides of the fence (prosecution & defense). I really consider finding Mr. Kita a blessing. He really cares about his clients - which is becoming a rarity in Los Angeles County. He realized this was an out-of-character incident where-in I experienced a momentary lapse in judgment. He helped me de-stress while strategizing an honest response to the courts; including my auto-biography. Mr. Kita convinced the court to allow me to attend an Anger Managment Diversion program that will result in case dismissal upon completion. I can't thank him enough! My recommendation couldn't be higher.

Mr. Kita got my teenager out of some trouble, won the case and brought us a great sigh of relief. He was very professional throughout the whole process and very knowledgeable with the court system in general. My family is very grateful we found him and he was able to get everything we wanted out of our court trial.

Attorney Kita Was very knowledgeable and professional when representing my son who was facing a felony charge for the first time. As a parent I was very afraid that my son would be placed in juvenile hall, but I’m glad I chose Mr. Kita to represent him. I appreciate his empathetic demeanor and communication skills, always informed us of case stays very reliable.

Mr. Kita was miraculously able to get my probation terminated well before its scheduled date (six months earlier), and also helped me to get rid of the initial guilty plea and arrest records. Mr. Kita did a superb legal job, thanks to his highest expertise in criminal defense and detailed knowledge of all intricacies of the Penal Code. Mr. Kita, thank you very much for your care and dedication to your clients, like me!

Mr. Kita is professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and very effective. He helped my teen-age son to get the best result we can expect in both the school district hearing and the juvenile court. I can't thank him enough for giving my son a second chance of his future.

I retained George Kita to represent a family member charged at the West Covina Superior Court in Los Angeles County for an alleged sex crime. Prior to hiring Mr. Kita, we didn't sleep too well worrying about what was going to happen. He is very thorough and detail oriented and always returned my phone calls. He obtained a very excellent outcome. I recommend him to anyone needing help for a legal problem.

These FAQs include information about a lawyer's background, but do not evaluate their knowledge of the law, past performance on individual cases, personality, or communication skills.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
