Jose Javier Elortegui

This is definitely the worst attorney I have EVER dealt with in my entire life, I seriously cannot believe how he is still practicing law with all the horrible reviews from his "work" are very much public. After taking my hard earned money, this man didn't do absolutely anything during trial, except ...for giving me an arrogant and condescending attitude. He even threatened me and my brother (who was only there support me) and treated with out most unprofessionalism and contempt.

I hired this horrible guy for a dui after I payed him , he forgot , at the next court date he told me shut up sit down that how do I have money for jordans (shoes) and had not payed him yet which I already had , I fired him and the public defender got me 180 days and Jose was struggling to get me 220... days, at the end I paid him over $2000 and he didn't do anything to help me never use this guy .

This lawyer has a good rap and nice colorful brochures. He paints a beautiful story about how he can get your DUI dismissed. After you pay him, he is never available. Never called me back. Then in Court, when I wanted him to fight my case, he said I would go to jail unless I pled guilty. He pract...ically threatened me with jail. Then I saw him arguing with all the other poor clients he had like me into taking the same bad deal. While other lawyers were getting dismissals, I had to take a plea. Well, I did not. I fired him, then I hired one that got my case dismissed. He did not even try. Yes, he was the cheapest lawyer I interviewed. I found out the hard way, you get what you paid for.

It is hard enough to decide which attorney to hire with all that advertisement out there and most of the people in need like myself are quite ignorant in the matter, not mentioning the fact that when it comes to these kind of things anxiety may lead us into making poor choices. A while ago I hired ...Mr. Elortegui to represent me for a first time offence. After payment was done he was nowhere to be found. Must have called at least 15 times to his office and he was never avaliable and never had the courtesy of returning a single call. I had plenty of questions but never saw the guy again until the trial , which by the way he kept postponing. In addition the guy gave me quite an attitude that day. He was completely unprepared for the trial. I'm sure a public defendant would have done a better job and for less than 5% of what I paid this guy.
