The BEST!!

Miguel is the BEST. He is so knowledgable and professional. If he says he is going to get it done, he gets it done. I have worked with many attorneys for various businesses reasons and Miguel is in my "go to" top of mind category!!

Good

Miquel has provided legal advice and guidance during a difficult situation. I found him to be experienced, responsive, knowledgeable and honest. I so appreciated his calming presence, and his polite and respectful attitude in the courtroom, and outside of it. He helped me to stay focused on the large... picture, and he worked on my case in a caring and timely manner

Surprisingly Powerful

Miguel finalized getting my money very quickly. He took nothing for granted. He did his due diligence with both me and my client who was withholding payment. He determined the fault that was in place and went after the money like it was his own. He seems mild mannered but not when it comes to getting... legitimate owed monies for his clients. Thank you, Miguel

Not Recommended

I obtained Miguel's service for post judgment collection of $67k. Though he was diligent in the process prior to the court date, some issues arose. First, he couldn't get a party served by the Sheriff for 90 days. It took my persistence to get this to happen. When it came to the judgment ...debtor hearing, Miguel went on vacation. So another attorney handled the hearing. "Notes" regarding my case were on file. However, not having first hand information to defend my case he couldnt come up with innovative ideas. The defendant never showed up and the judge never issued a bench warrant. A bench warrant should have been issued. Why the judge did that- I do not know. However, a better attorney would have fought it. It took 2 months for Miguel to give me this exact breakdown. Also, he avoided communication. I do not recommend him.
