The Law Office of Valery Nechay - San Francisco, California

Kristina Delevi

I can't recommend Valery Nechay enough as an attorney. Her knowledge in so many areas of the law is truly impressive. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was covered, and I always felt supported and informed throughout the whole legal process. Even with her busy schedule, Valery always found time to answer my questions, no matter how small. She made me feel like I was in the hands of someone who genuinely cares and knows her stuff. Valery is not just knowledgeable and dedicated, but also incredibly compassionate. I'm so grateful for everything she did for me.

Valery was truly phenomenal in her support and guidance to me in an unfortunate accidental legal situation involving what was technically a felony crime on my part. Having never been in trouble with the law before, she was especially kind and supportive to me, and was successful in getting my charges dismissed. Valery is my savior and has my wholehearted endorsement.

In September 2023, my brother (25, from Arizona) got arrested (in San Francisco, California) after attempting to enter a conference within a community both of us grew up in and have been apart of since 2008. His car keys were knocked out of his suit pants during a tackle incident at the security clearance after he had trouble leaving when asked. According to my brother there was a misunderstanding of an email conflicting with him not being invited to the conference. After being tackled and handcuffed, he told the officers he had a concealed firearm in his vehicle, 5 minutes away, as he felt it was a danger for his keys to be off of his person. I was at this conference, and saw some of this happen live. My peers in our place of work were laughing, and making memes about this for months. There are many videos and pictures of the whole ordeal.

They put 6 charges on him that night, including "possession of armor piercing ammunition" and "high capacity magazines"
The SF media created a narrative off of the charges and the prosecution ran with it moving to deny bail within the first week, just as my family was even beginning to cope with this new reality. Public consensus of the incident caused a rift in the community between those who knew him for years prior and know he would never do what was being inferred by the media, and those who didn't know him and were led to believe it. Our family used this as fuel to ensure we stuck with this case mentally and financially, no matter how hard it felt and how much of an uphill battle it was at times.

We went through two public defenders, and another private attorney before landing on Nechay Law in late March 2024. Nechay tried many angles of defense for this non violent gun storage charge. All previous charges except "having a concealed firearm in a vehicle" were wiped, and the remaining was moved to a misdemeanor which a change of plea got him out of jail after 1 year, 4 days.

The prosecution was going for conviction on the felony level to get him 6 years, based upon the narrative they shaped up. Nechay (even after 7 months of other attorneys handling the case) was able to reverse and put to rest the previously life ruining, retribution hungry narrative.

The best scenario out of all of this is he will be getting more familial attention and help to deal with previous traumas such as a car crash that totaled his very expensive car, two home break-ins, and his business faltering. Rebuilding for him will be a hard but rewarding journey, and Nechay has allowed that second chance of the sanctity of life to happen through her expertise. I cannot recommend enough. Our family is eternally grateful for Valery and her firm's service.

Moreover, Ms. Nechay maintained consistent communication, keeping me informed and reassured at every stage.

Valery is the best Lawyer in both Criminal court and family court. She helped me to win my kid and my life back after a complicated battle in criminal and family court.

Valery defeated my ex-husband’s false accusations and got criminal case dismissed after winning the jury trial!

She also helped me with visitation with my son. She never accepted anything less than what I deserved in the custody and visitation case, until I got my kid back!

She was always there for me and fought for me every step of the way. She was responsible, passionate, and cares about her client in many ways! She never gave up trying! She was always supportive and pivoted every twist and turn resulting in success for me and my family. I highly recommend Valery- she is 5 star lawyer and the best at what she does.

Valery embodies a remarkable passion and enthusiasm for advocating justice. I reached out to Valery and her team during a challenging period when my transition home was made difficult by an adamant probation officer who relentlessly accused me of violating my federal supervision. Despite feeling helpless and unsupported, Valery believed in my innocence and tirelessly fought on my behalf. The outcome of my case was nothing short of a triumph. It was conclusively proven that I had not violated my supervision, leading to the dismissal of all eight charges against me. Without the unwavering dedication and meticulous efforts of Valery and her team, I would have faced a minimum of six months in federal custody. If you find yourself in need of someone to champion your cause, secure your freedom, and provide you with peace of mind, I strongly recommend reaching out to the law firm of Valery Nechay.

Attorney Valery Nechay is truly one of a kind and the best at what she does. My brother was racially profiled, illegally searched, and seized, after a night out. He was arrested for simply being a person of color in a predominantly white and well-known racist neighborhood in Orange County, California.

Long story short, my brother was facing serious charges- two felonies and one misdemeanor. My family and I were distraught when we received a call from the police station informing us that he was booked and charged. We were uncertain about my brother's future and wondered what the chances were of getting his charges dropped and set free.

Valery did an amazing job consulting, guiding, and giving exceptional legal sound and strategic step-by-step advice. With her help and dedication, along with her passion for social justice, my brother had all his charges dropped and walked away a free man. Thank you, Valery, for all that you do, especially for underrepresented communities and above all else, for ensuring that justice is served. Because of your hard work and dedication, my brother was able to walk away a free man with a clean slate and able to return to his everyday life without any further stress or anxiety. I can confidently and wholeheartedly recommend her services.

At the time we retained Ms. Nechay, my family member had already been sentenced. Valery saved the day and fixed everything. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Our previous attorney had deliberately misled the court and concealed the fact that we had an imminent move out of state. This led to a plea deal with terms that were terrible for our family. It could have led to a separation between our members of our family, including our young child, due to a requirement to live in a certain state that would have caused irreparable damage.

Ms. Nechay completely reversed the Court's decision on the old plea and helped us secure a new plea for a reduced charge and a *much* lighter sentence that would allow us to live out of state as we required. She thoughtfully worked with us to rally key evidence and aggressively represented us against the DA. She was sensitive to the fact that the case stemmed from a medical situation.

Valery was always available to communicate when we needed her, was upfront about key decisions in the case, and was a zealous advocate for our case and our rights. Our only regret is that we didn't meet her earlier in the case before our previous, dishonest lawyer began representing us.

After the case, Valery continued to be helpful with follow-up matters even after her fee was already paid. She cares about doing the right thing.

I would *highly* recommend Ms. Nechay to anyone who needs a defense attorney. She's a good person and a fantastic lawyer.
