Douglas Black is one of the most hard working criminal attorneys in Santa Barbara County. Mr. Black was persistent and aggressive while negotiating the best possible outcome for my Son's case. Doug represented my Son as a juvenile and as an adult. He spent countless hours preparing and gathering vital information. As a result, the outcome of my Son's adult felony case was a victory and he was able to bypass and avoid a lengthy prison sentence and live with his family. Doug is extremely knowledgeable and understands the constitutional rights of his client. He is a man of integrity, truth, and justice. If your in need of legal counsel, I highly recommend Criminal Attorney Douglas Black.

Through a 1.5-year long, grueling, expensive, and at times seemingly hopeless probate case, Doug helped restore our faith in the legal system and was able to win the case for us. He's a superb high integrity attorney, with excellent follow-through and responsiveness. He also has some top-notch assistants/clerks.
You'll definitely be well-represented having Doug on your side.

I can't say enough about the firm of Renee Nordstrand and Doug Black. As an individual with no experience with law, I was nervous and didn't know where to start. After getting in an MVA (Motor Vehicle Accident) I was pointed in the direction of Renee Nordstrand. The combined care, expertise and knowledge of Renee and Doug exceeded all expectations. Nordstrand and her staff are truly caring, hardworking and clearly passionate about what they do. I appreciated that every step of the process was explained to me in very understandable terms, I never felt left out or uninformed. I definitely couldn't be happier with the outcome. I would absolutely recommend the firm of NordstrandBlack PC to anyone who is seeking the very best.

On July 2nd 2015, when I was riding my bicycle , I was hit by a car out of control. I crashed to the ground, and I was injured. A few weeks later, while at the Cottage Rehab Hospital in Santa Barbara, I was introduced to Renee J. Nordstrand. She went right to work investigating my accident and the person who hit me. As the time went by, and I was getting impatient for immediate results, Renee taught me to be patient and to let the negotiations take their course, and to be confident in a positive result. She was right. Her work paid off and I was awarded a compensation for my accident.
Thank you, Renee for your efforts... we came a long way together, and thank you for being my friend when I needed it.

Renee represented us in a case that required both patience and an in depth understanding of multiple legal issues. Her careful preparation and thorough and superb representation in court led us to the outcome we had hoped for. We trusted her knowledge and acumen and would do so again without hesitation. She is an exceptionally gifted legal mind.

Renee and her staff made me feel like i matter and got the job done fast.
Renee is by far one the best attorneys in town. I have used other attorneys at times
and it seemed, as if they were just going threw the motions..
I only trust Renee and her staff on the case.

Renee has always been quick to respond and has been very helpful every time I have needed legal advice in the past 5 years. She is reliable and timely, and the staff is polite and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

Renee Nordstrand represented me because I was seriously injured in an auto accident while on the job. She did the best job for me. The insurance company refused to pay me any money for my wage loss and offered little for my suffering. At an arbitration she brought in the experts and convinced the arbitrator to award me full compensation for my injuries and losses. She is caring and took care of everything for me. She is the best lawyer and I highly recommend her to everything because she always tries to help the customer and do the best for them. Juan Padilla

Renee is a fighter. and when you are sitting on the side of the fence with the least number of friends, you are going to want someone like her on your side. The justice system has a way of stereo-typing justice and without a voice, this is their view on you and your case.
Imagine yourself, talented, professional and organized. When a case is placed against you, your world changes. You become a bit defensive, this is common. Then you try to reach out for legal counsel, and believe me, there are alot of great attorneys in the world. There are those who go the distance, and then there are those who don't. Then there is Renee.
When you need someone to believe in you, and make that connection, she will. Renee is the kind of person who is passionate about her cases and the way outcomes will affect your life.
Renee also has a track record that speaks for itself. Before I ever spoke with her myself, I asked around. Everything came back positive and then I decided to call. A real sense of trust was the first feeling I can remember after speaking with her. I remember thinking, everything is going to be ok; and Renee (I know I say it alot....), but it's because I believe in her.
Thank you Renee, for being there when I needed you the most.

I highly recommend Renee Nordstrand. She has represented me and my business over the years. After hiring her she expertly handled all of my matters to successful conclusions. I never had to worry about my situation when I left her office. She always took care of everything. Her legal skill, expertise and knowledge of the law is evident by the excellent results she obtains. She aggressively pursues my interests, keeps me informed and gets great results. I couldn’t be happier with her and her office.

I am so glad I decided to go with Renee Nordstrand when I was in a car accident a few years ago. She really took the time to explain everything to me and keep me updated on the status of my case. She took all the stress off of me by dealing with the insurance company and everything related to my accident. This allowed me to spend my time and energy on healing. Renee was always quick to get back to me when I needed something or had any questions. I felt very comfortable working with her and I trust Renee. I would highly recommend Renee Nordstrand.

I bought a new expensive home. After a few months the stone floor, and inside and exterior walls all cracked around the same area in the kitchen. I called the builder and they repaired all the areas. Within a few months the same problem recurred. This time the stone floor was replaced with a wood floor of my choice. It was very long before their was more cracking. I wanted the builder to find out the cause of the problem but they refused. At that point, I decided I would need to hire an attorney. I was referred to The Law Offices of Renee Nordstrand. Ms. Nordstrand wrote letters and spoke to the builders representative. The builder hired geologists and construction experts and it was determined that the structure was defective in the kitchen area where the cracking was occurring. We moved out of the home for four months while the defect was repaired and we received an additional 10 year home warrantee. I was so pleased that it was all done, to our satisfaction, without the need for litigation.

Thank you again for all your hard work. Renee was amazing and very easy to work with. She takes the time to make sure I understood everything and she knows how to fight for you and deal with all the big insurance companies. Highly recommended!!!
