Posted by Juan | October 26, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Very bad attorney.

I have NO criminal record. He came to my first court unprepared, with NOTHING to show and my motion was full of inaccuracies and grammar errors. Next, he was asking for more money!! NEVER CALL HIM TO REPRESENT YOU...un less tou want to spend more time in the detention center.

Juan, I am sorry that you were not satisfied with my representation. As you may recall, I advised both you and your wife that it was crucial that you file a petition with USCIS before the bond hearing. Against my advice, you insisted that you would do it on a future date and you hired me for the very limited purpose of securing a bond for your release. In my experience, Immigration judges generally do not grant bonds to detainees who have no relief pending. Thus, I am very proud of the fact that I was able to secure your release from Immigration jail. I hope you will hire an attorney to assist you through the remaining process, and I wish you the best of luck.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
