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.

He made my Advance Directive, painless, and easy. It was explained in a way that I could understand to carry my wishes out.

Juan Vega
My name is Jim and I am a Vietnam veteran. Juan Vega assisted my wife and I with our will and power of attorney. He has done a lot of work pro bono for veterans and has repeatedly been efficient and complete. I heartily recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

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.
