Top Orlando defends RE Profesional

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jose Rives & Rives law group. As a professional in Orange County my life recently took a turn.. from one day being on top of the world to the next facing some serious allegations. I found myself in a very unpleasant situation.. I have lots of friends i...n lots of high places, one of them being Carlos Martin form Forest lake Law group. I made a phone call to him and he made it very clear that he’s my friend and he advise me that I need someone that specializes in my situation.. he then met with me with Jose Rives.. they went over my situation in detail.. from day one Jose was very professional and strategic. As the days went on and I had to show up in court. I was starting to lose hope. I wasn’t able to focus on my career everything in my life was completely falling apart, I found myself in a very tough position that I was never in. My professional license was at stake. Jose told me to keep fighting, I was even willing to take a plea deal because the D/A was playing hardball, the judge was being very tough and being difficult. Jose even challenge the Judge on a ruling he made and decided to go back on. As I said. My case was very difficult, Jose said I’m your attorney I know what I’m doing, He requested a speedy trial. He said we will take this all the the way to the end to trial. He ask for me to trust him, so I did. I decided to put all my faith in him. Jose worked every angle possible and put up a tough fight, as I said he was very strategic. The D/A stated they had evidence. Jose still challenged all they had. Then in the matter of one day a huge weight was lifted off my shoulder, two days before my trail. Jose got the state to drop the case, by being Strategic and knowledgeable attorney that he is. I know lots of people in the community and professionals however I would definitely recommend Jose to anyone facing any time or criminal case. You definitely owe it to yourself to go with the best Orlando has to offer. He saved my career and now it’s time for be to start rebuilding my life in a positive direction. Thank you for all you did for me Jose. I really appreciate you and your hard work..

Highly Recommended Lawyer

Today, September 13th is the start of a fresh beginning for me. And I owe it all to my lawyer, José Rivas! We began a very lengthy journey and today it ends. On March 31st, Mr. Rivas accepted to take up on a challenge that we both knew would be nearly impossible to conquer. Since day 1 Mr. Rivas prov...ided me with extreme support and reassurance. The last six months were very stressful, we hit so many bumps and rejections that I had lost hope and prepared myself for the worse. But Jose never gave up on me, after every fall he was there to get us right back up and work even harder. Mr. Rivas took risks after risks until finally, 6 months later he managed to come on top and get me a deal that we both thought would be just a dream. Mr. Rivas doesn’t know how much all his hard work really meant to me but it saved my job, it saved my record and most importantly it gave me a second chance at my future. This was a reality check for me and It matured me in so many ways. I am very grateful for him and his staff, secretary Ashley! I recommend Mr. Rivas to everyone because I feel like i put my future in the right hands. Thank you Jose Rivas, you’re awesome! You exceeded my expectations by far!

Best DUI Attorney

Lawyer Jose Rivas by far exceeded my expectations on my case. He was there for me 24/7 including his complete staff. I thought there was nothing to do about my case, and Jose fought for me till the end, obtaining amazing results and having my case dismissed. I was blessed by having Jose Rivas by my s...ide the whole way through, I thought my career was over untill Jose did everything in his power to help me fight the situation.

My lawyer - my savior

Awesome attorney with a great staff. My daughter and I had our house raided and were charged with felonies. Jose was patient and professional and did a wonderful job for us and afterward got the records expunged. Now that my daughter was caught driving under the influence, I didn't even think about w...ho to call! I highly reccomend the Rivas law firm and they are the only lawyers I would ever use again. They may not be the least expensive, but remember, you get what you pay for.
