Effective Legal Counsel

I retained Mr. Carillo for a significant accident in which I was involved. Mr. Carillo guided me through the legal process which ultimately resulted in mediation and a very positive conclusion to my case. Thank you,

Review of Jose Ignacio Carrillo

Mr. Carrillo helped me in a traffic accident where I was hit by another driver, and she tried to deny any responsibility. He assured me and protected my rights. I was very fortunate to have him and his team on my side.

Excellent services

Mr. Carrillo helped me in the defense of a financial law suit. He was able to defeat the plaintiff bank with a motion wherein the case was dismissed which allowed me to work out a solution with the bank. Everyone at the firm were very professional. I recommend this lawyer.
