J. Manuel Acevedo - highly recommended
When I looked directly into the eyes of Attorney Acevedo, I knew with certaintly that he is a very trustworthy, honest and authentic person. He spoke to me with a rare form of wisdom, kindness, and professionalism. Not only did his advice make sense to me, but it was exactly the solution that I needed even though I didn't previously even know existed. He represented me with a very personal matter, and delivered me a very quick and effective resolution. For that, I am very appreciative.

Compassionate and professional
When I found Mr. Acevedo on I was a little concerned if he could help me with a name change issue. From the moment I met him I felt is compassion and understanding. As the time went on you knew he was doing his very best to assist. He consistently kept me updated, available by email and returned calls promptly. He was always professional and I would highly recommend his services.

Great Attorney
Mr. Acevedo was an excellent and very knowledgeable attorney. He assisted me with my divorce involving two children. My case involved a combination of business law and family law. Mr. Acevedo not only explained everything to me, but he relentlessly helped me with dealing with everything that I was going through. Whether it was personal or business oriented, he always knew what to say to calm me down. I greatly appreciate all that he did for me and my two daughters. I would highly recommend him for any legal matters.

Definately Reccomend!
I was highly impressed with Mr. Acevedo's service, my phone call was returned very quickly and a meeting set up the very same day. The meeting was very detailed, as I received all the information I needed... I will definitely be using him in the future if I am in need of a lawyer.

Power of Attorney
Years ago, I agreed to be an officer for a friend when he set up his company. Since then I moved out of state. I received news that my friend was dying and had to fly into town. His condition stabilzed and he is under hospice care. I could only stay for a few days and needed to return home but also needed to ensure that my resposibilities would be carried out. I was referred to Mr. Acevdeo who agreed to see me under extremely short circumstances and completed a Power of Attorney for me ensuring that a family member could complete any business on my behalf. Mr. Acevedo was extremely sensitive to my urgency of need in meeting with me. He took time to ensure that I understood the power that I was giving to the family member with the Power of Attorney document. He was courteous, friendly and knowledgable. I can not say enough about him.

Made recovery from the insurance company possible
Last year, a storm damaged my fence, porch and roof. I made a claim with my insurance company and after months of phone calls and letters back and forth, they refused to pay for the damages to my home. I hired attorney Acevedo and in less than a month he was able to recover the money I was entitled to. Thank you for helping me get through this nightmare.

Helped Son Avoid Bad Record
Mr. Acevedo helped my 18-year-old son keep from ruining his life. After my son made some really foolish choices, Mr. Acevedo negotiated with the state's attorney to have one charge dropped and a couple of felonies downgraded to misdemeanors. He wound up with minimal charges and fines and no adjudication.

Very reliable, professional and efficient attorney
