Thank you for your kind words. It was an honor to have been chosen by you to help you out of your legal problem. And it was a pleasure to help you.

Slick in Court, Smooth with Judges, Extremely Competent, Nice to his Clients and VERY REASONABLE!

Albert Quirantes was superb! My friend was unfairly arrested for a Felony and accused of stealing something and pawning it. There was evidence that could have shown he was not guilty. Since my friend had a record, the cops completely ignored the defenses and arrested him. Mr. Quirantes prompt...ly visited him at the jail and attended his bond hearing, and reduced his bond. He was out! Then, in the meantime, he got arrested again for another Felony, due to a setup by his friends! He was now back in with NO BOND! Mr. Quirantes immediately appeared before the Judge, got the Judge to find no probable cause on the second case, then appeared with the original Felony judge and convinced the Judge to release him again. Mr. Quirantes then found a critical witness to convince the DA to drop his charges! All of them. Now that's more than we thought would happen. This guy is slick in court, nice to all, personable, very understanding, respected by the judge, the prosecutor and has a smooth style. His fees were VERY REASONABLE compared to other lawyers we spoke to. His employees are very responsive to all of our needs and I have had nothing but the best experience with the office of Albert Quirantes. I highly recommend that if you have a problem, you call him.

THE BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN MIAMI

Where do I start. I have been through many attorneys throughout my life for many different situations. Mr. Albert Quirantes and his amazing team were recommended to me after I got into a HUGE jam. I was facing jail time and literally losing everything. Since the first consultation with Quirantes and ...team I felt lighter and refreshed. I was so impressed with their in depth knowledge about the law and amazing strategies they have to beat cases and come out favorable for their clients. I already started to feel better after initial consulation. Everything they told me and promised is exactly what they did. They fought tooth and nail for me for over a year. They were determined to reach the best outcome possible. They were always listening to my concerns and treating me as if i were family not just another client. They care about your needs and fight hard for your rights. They don’t steal your money and are the most fair and honest firm I have EVER ENCOUNTERED!!!!! Everyone treats you with respect and always willing to offer a helping hand. I have no words to describe how I feel about Mr. Quirantes and his team, they are exceptional professionals. They Do what they say and mean what they do. My DUI case that once upon a time seemed so dark was able to be completely dismissed thanks to Quirantes and team. I can finally sleep in peace after I no longer fear of losing my freedom. I owe them my life. I recommend this firm with my eyes closed to anyone that ever gets into a problem no matter how big or small. They will fix it. Best law firm in MIAMI without a single doubt!!!!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Honest, Trustworthy and Hard Hitting in Court I was a traffic court hearing officer and have seen the quality work exhibited in my courtroom on traffic matters by Albert Quirantes, Esq. I have also worked side by side with and referred clients to him. You can tell that he really enjoys his job and loves the law. As a private attorney, I also know him to be a relentless advocate for his clients. He is always well prepared in depositions and in Court. He does not give up until he achieves the best possible result, even if he has to pick a jury and go to trial. Al, the "Q", is well liked by prosecutors and judges alike and is a well known staple in Florida state and federal criminal courtrooms. I do not hesitate to endorse him for his skills, great attitude, dedication, the quality of his work and the great client service provided by his office."
