Horrible

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 .

Poor service

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.

Una decision poco acertada

En el pasado mes de Enero 2012 contrate los servicios de este abogado para la defensa de mi hijo por un caso de D.U.I. (primera ofensa) motivado por la propaganda que de el recibi en mi hogar en la que especificaba. "Usted puede tener una defensa solida si contesta que SI a cualquiera de las sigui...entes preguntas." 9- ¿Estaba estacionado su auto cuando el policia hizo su primer contacto con usted? Como esto fue lo que sucedio en realidad pues en el reporte policial asi lo consta, -"Acudimos a la escena por una llamada de un vecino a la linea 911 sobre un auto estacionado al frente de su propiedad en cuyo interior se encontraba una persona aparentemente inconsciente"- Por lo que fue que me decidi (porque en realidad no lo estaba) a contratar los servicios de este abogado. En nuestra primera entrevista despues de leer el reporte policial y escuchar de boca de mi hijo el relato de los hechos el me aseguro que habia un +90% de probabilidades de poderle quitar el cargo de D.U.I. y rebajarlo solo a una multa de transito cosa que a mi en ese momento me hizo sentir mucho alivio por mi hijo y por lo que esto pudiera representar en sus aspiraciones futuras por lo que inmediatamente decidi contratarlo. Este señor comenzo a demorar el caso posponiendo a su antojo las citas de la corte hasta tanto cobrara sus honorarios en totalidad. Por fin mi hijo fue citado a corte el 25 de abril y al acudir a la misma y personarse el abogado nos comunica de la forma menos profesional que existe que el no puede ganar el caso y que solo habian dos posibles soluciones. 1- Ir a juicio donde seguramente le darian tiempo de carcel a mi hijo (lo que no puse en duda pues con defensores como este va a llegar el dia en que la profesion de fiscal llegue a ser obsoleta) 2- Aceptar un trato previa declaracion de culpabilidad y pagar todos los costos que le impondrian y de esa manera evitar la carcel. A lo que yo como padre que quiere resguardar la integridad de su hijo y para evitarle malos momentos le dije que aceptara el trato. Ahora yo quisiera saber a que se referia el abogado cuando publico en su propaganda "defensa solida" por el momento a mi solo me queda pensar que se referia a sus finanzas. Todo esto lo expongo con el unico fin de poder ayudar aunque solo sea a una persona a tomar una decision acertada a la hora de escoger a un abogado.
