From Fear to Hope: A Truly Exceptional Lawyer

I hired Mr. Quirantes on short notice for his fair price and availability, but I had no expectations after experiencing years of subpar lawyers at the same price. I never expected to stumble upon the outstanding service I received. He and his team performed a miracle by quickly getting my husband ...out of jail on bond for a no-bond offense, using his connections and trust with prosecutors, judges, and a bondsman. On the day of court, the judge told my husband, “You have a great lawyer. You better listen to him.” From that moment, we both knew we had found the right lawyer. Fear and dread transformed into hope. His entire team — including his secretary and staff — was kind, compassionate, and always made us feel heard and supported through a very stressful time.

Excelente Abogado Criminalista

Vine a este abogado con un problema de tránsito criminal. El abogado se encargó completamente de mi caso. Firmé unos documentos y él luchó por mí hasta el final. Me mantuvo informado durante todo el proceso por mensajes de texto, y además tiene una aplicación donde se puede ver el progreso del caso y... las pruebas. El abogado pasó por todas las etapas —comparecencia, audiencia y juicio— y ganó mi caso. La atención en la oficina es excelente. He recomendado a varias personas a Albert Quirantes y su equipo, y nunca nos han defraudado. Gracias por el excelente servicio legal. Altamente recomendado.

We WON my DUI case!

WE WON! Can I give Albert Quirantes a 10 Star? I was arrested in a checkpoint DUI in Miami, FL & was so disappointed in myself. I wanted an attorney who would fight this to the bitter end, lift up every rock, think outside the box then I could live with the results regardless. Albert Quirante...s was a godsend, I originally hired Albert & his team because Steve Millan was a Miami Judge & now is an attorney on Alberts team & I wanted that high level experience for my case. I figured it would give me the best chance to WIN the case. The Albert Quirantes team always followed up with me, kept me informed at every turn & NEVER sold me out for a plea deal which many other attorneys wanted me to plea out since I had a prior DUI 35 years ago. We WON, my record is now very clean again which was super important to me because my career depends on having a clean record. My case was dismissed, we WON the case & Il thank Albert, Steve, Jorge & the Quirantes team till the end of time :)

"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."
