John Paul Velez

Have you ever went to a wedding and had a few drinks and drove home knowing u weren’t drunk? It has happened to most of us threw the years as it did to me.. Unfortunately I had the bad luck of being pulled over, I had been arrested for dui.. mr velez was extremely thorough and helped me out in any wa...y he could.. I am very fortunate to have contacted him for my attorney and I highly recommend him if anything like this has happened to you

I had two Disorderly’s and three Felonies. I was looking at possible jail, or at least a felony record if found guilty at trial. Would’ve lost my job of 31 years. Mr. Velez got it reduced to one Disorderly and a Peddy Disorderly! He made sure they were nonviolent offenses which also allowed me to be... eligible to get my firearms back, which were seized as part of an Extreme Risk Protection Order. The Judge ordered the ERPO unnecessary. So now I can get my firearms back when probation is over in a year. He also convinced the judge to issue a Civil Restriction. So if the other party tries to sue they can not use my guilty plea in the Civil Suit. Mr. Velez is an amazing lawyer who is worth every penny and more. He was honest with me at every part of the lengthy process. He has saved my family and I a lot of heartache. We will always be grateful to him for the great job he did. May God always bless him and his family!

John displayed not only a clear understanding of our case, but was able to explain each situation and make recommendations that were consistently spot on. Most important, he showed a human sense of compassion and understanding that is rare among people. He truly established a strong sense of faith an...d confidence that he was not only acting in our best legal interests, but also in our best interests as people.

John handled my criminal case where I had a 1st degree case with heavy evidence built against me but still managed to get it downgraded to a 3rd degree. My case was extremely difficult considering I had been a repeat offender and the county sheriff department hated me. Initially the prosecutor wanted... to give me 3 years in prison with no parole. But with John's expertise he was able to get me drug court which is quite an arduous task considering I had a first degree. During this ordeal I was incarcerated and John was a big emotional support for my family and myself. He constantly made trips to visit me to discuss my case and make sure I was doing fine. Even during the gravest moments in my case he always maintained an aura of optimism and hope. Which can be critical for someone facing heavy prosecution. John was constantly on the phone with the prosecutors and making trips to the court on my behalf even though he had many cases to handle. John may be a very experienced lawyer but he still handles each case as passionately as if it were his first. Most lawyers are told not to form attachments to their clients, but John does anyway because he is a kind hearted individual and he will fight for you as if he were fighting for a family member. Having his representation on my case was priceless. If I ever fall into any predicament again I will always go to him. If anyone I know falls into legal tribulations John is always the first person I recommend. Because from first hand experience I know he will fight with the last fiber of his body on whichever case he takes up.
