Family Law

My experience with Mr. Cruz was outstanding. He was very meticulous and knowledgeable on asking me proper questions to compile information. Mr. Cruz was very assertive in the court room and never faltered with his questioning during trial. He always kept me informed of what was going on and if I c...alled or text, I usually got a response within the same day. He definitely knew what he was doing and even went the extra mile when asked by the court to do some research on some previous cases. I was very pleased with the outcome. (superb Lawyer)

Excellent Attorney for Fighting Traffic Tickets

This was my very first experience with having an attorney for a case and Mr. Cruz is an excellent attorney for fighting tickets. He kept me up to date on the case status and pre trial hearing. Plus his rates are very reasonable with the option of split payments.

"I have known Mr. Cruz since law school, and he has always been a responsible, attentive, and trustworthy person. As an attorney, he is aggressive, knowledgeable, and perhaps most importantly, dependable. Criminal defense is a heavily saturated practice area, so finding counsel worthy of hiring is difficult. Sergio Cruz is a fine lawyer and I have no reservations about endorsing him wholeheartedly."
