Avoid this character.

Not a good person. The amount of lies that comes out of this man's mouth is unbelievable. His consultations are free which is great. So I thought. He does this to lure you in, and to find out how much money you have and to see how much he can get out of you. Then he proceeds to sell you the dream. He... takes your retainer and then good luck getting a hold of him. His fees are extremely low for someone that has been practicing law for over 20 years. I know why now. He overbills you for everything. When you take the over billing and numerous delays you will encounter with this clown. He actually comes out to over $500 an hour. He's ok in the courtroom. But what typically should take one day in the courtroom. He will take two to three days or even more depending on how long it takes the judge to stop him. He will drag it out as long as you have money to pay him. Expect to hear from Mr. Muniz, your money is almost gone. I will need another $3000 to $5000 to continue your case. He reminds me of Joe Pesci. Little, aggressive, chubby dude with a huge ego. Biggest napoleon complex I have ever seen on someone so small. This guy even has a samurai sword in his office. I guess it's suppose to intimidate you or something. He is decent in the courtroom. But he is not the most intelligent person despite how confident he comes off. He will win your case if you go up against a subpar attorney. He will not win against a good lawyer due to his lack of intelligence. If you have or do hire Mr. Pesci. Please document the hours and minutes. Watch out for delays. Get on him for dragging on the court proceedings. At the end. It adds up to thousands of dollars.

Poco cortes

Para una situacion tan vulnerable como una separacion, este senor lo primero que me dijo fue: que si usted no gana dinero no va a poder pagarme a mi; sin ni siquiera escuchar mi caso. Ademas cuando le comence a hablar de mi caso y mi situacion y me contesto que nada de eso era importante y me corto ...la conversacion. Para mi fue muy poco profesional y pueda que hoy no haya estado de humor lamentablemente. Que pena.. Ademas de que me hablo de un monto exorbitante de $15000 y sus horas a $500... OMG

Stay Away

He was very unprofessional. He missed most of the appointments that were scheduled with me. At this point I should have taken this as a sign and turned away but decided to give him another chance. When he rescheduled he made me wait for hours at his office to see him. He regards himself as a good law...yer but I assure you he is not, he was intimidated by the opposing side's attorney several times. I was never able to reach him and the case was mostly handled by his assistants, which he treats very bad, know close to nothing about law and are not very helpful. Did not address any of the concerns I had and gave me no assurances during my stressful court battle. He did not respond to any of the emails I sent him. I do not know how people can do business like this. I deeply regret hiring him to handle my case. Your time and money is better spent elsewhere.

The worst lawyer

I was Carlos Muñiz's client in 2013. This has been the worst experience of my life. A real hell. The worst lawyer. I do not recommend it.
