About Juan
Biography
After over twelve years of criminal prosecution, I have decided to dedicate my career to defending the rights of individual citizens. For years I sat back and wondered why so many defense attorneys failed their clients. Why didn’t they challenge a stop? Why didn’t they challenge a search? Why didn’t they ask for a plea deal? I now know that it’s because they do not know what prosecutors know or how they think. I do.
I have the courage to fight, the experience to negotiate, and the wisdom to know which option to recommend.

Would Recommend For Sure
Mr Juan Vega helped me out with those all important legal documents we all need (Wills, AMD, POA, etc). I was worried about it all but Juan allayed those concerns and helped me understand it all.

VA problem
Very helpful, prompt and honest with my problem. Questions were answered immediately with a phone call or e-mail. When he got a new job, and could not help anymore, he directed me to someone who could and reimbursed his fees.
