Why Summit Defense Attorneys?
If you have been arrested or are under investigation in Santa Clara County, Summit Defense should be on your call list before you talk to police. They are the largest exclusively criminal-defense firm in Northern California, available around the clock, and they handle the full spectrum of charges — DUI and misdemeanor cases through serious felonies, sex crimes, and murder. Founding partner Rabin Nabizadeh brings a unique strength: he understands how a criminal conviction interacts with immigration status, which is critical for the tens of thousands of green-card holders and visa holders living in Silicon Valley.
Situations They Handle
What You'll Pay
Summit Defense generally charges a flat fee per matter — DUI cases, misdemeanor cases, and felony cases each have a defined fee structure depending on whether the case is resolved pre-trial or goes to trial. The flat-fee model gives clients certainty about cost. The firm offers free 24/7 consultations and a written fee agreement before any representation begins.

What Clients Say
“Got a DUI on a Saturday night. Called Summit at 2am and someone actually picked up. Rabin walked me through what was about to happen, met me Monday morning, and we ended up with a plea that didn't put me out of my engineering job.”
“I was falsely accused during a divorce. Ross took the case seriously, investigated, and got the charges dismissed. Saved my green card and my career.”
“Faced a serious felony charge. James prepared the case for trial and the prosecutor came down to a misdemeanor. Best money I have ever spent.”
