John Paul Velez

John was a pleasure to work with (given the circumstances). He was very thorough and responsive, and always helped me with any questions or concerns I had throughout my case. He is very knowledgeable and really knows what he is doing. I highly recommend him and his firm. He knew what my best case sce...nario would be and that is what he got for me, so I really appreciate all his work on my case.

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.
