Runs Great..Not currently in a running condition

He shows great effort and is honest enough to return some of your money if he doesn’t think he can win your case. Im sure he’s a great lawyer when he isn’t currently working with the opposition.. He withdrew representation from one case and returned some money but kept $1500 on a Misdemeanor case Fai...lure to Id from a year ago that still keeps getting reset and no credit for time served yet….

Case Dismissed!!!!

Mr. Lara is the best lawyer in San Antonio hands down.He will fight until he gets the best results and or a dismissal in your case. He was there for me every step of the way.Being that I had a bad state and federal background, he was still able to get my recent case dismissed and have me home with my... family in no time.I recommend Mr.Lara to anyone who is going through rough times on the other side of the law.He is the best of the best no doubt.Thanks Mr. Lara.

Mr. Lara, The Man who helped save my career!

From day one, Mr. Lara immediately presented himself as someone who truly cared about my situation. After answering his phone on a Sunday afternoon, he spent about half-an-hour answering all my questions. By the end of our conversation he already seemed so invested in wanting what was best for me. I...n my opinion, that is what helped me feel most at ease—to know someone who truly cared enough to help me was in my corner. Thereafter, every process of my case was explained in ways to not only help me understand in great detail of what was to come; but, Mr. Lara was able to help calm my anxieties and get me to place more focus on my daily life while he ensured he would do his best to handle this situation for me. In the end, Mr. Lara’s candor professionalism and unwavering work ethic helped me have my case dismissed. For that, I owe this man so much! He truly has helped save my future career. Thus, for anyone who faces a similar difficult situation, I give my strongest recommendation in calling and having Mr. Lara in your corner. As I am confident he will do his very best to help you win your case.

Mr. Guillermo Lara Jr. - San Antonio's Finest Attorney At Criminal Law

Mr. Guillermo Lara Jr. assisted me momentously throughout a very difficult situation I managed myself into in regard to a recent intoxication charge I unfortunately acquired. Mr. Lara represented me in preventing a possible license suspension and had my conviction reduced significantly to a much des...ired charge. Mr. Lara has supported me extensively beyond being an outstanding representative and councilor. I would recommend Mr. Guillermo Lara Jr. to anyone, anytime, anywhere. Mr. Lara has my sincerest gratitude and appreciation for the entirety of his assistance, council and support. Mr. Guillermo Lara Jr. without any doubt is San Antonio's finest attorney at criminal law.
