Honest Kind Compassionate Attorney

I want to be clear and tell everyone that Attorney Vizcarrando is a really good attorney. Not long ago I was pulled over because my brake lights were not working and I did not know my license was suspended. If i recall correctly my license was suspended because previous to being pulled over that ...day I had missed a court date for not driving with my license in my wallet, when I failed to appear for that minor citation(I forgot ) I was sick my license was suspended. Not only was my license suspended I had an warrant for my arrest that said they pick me up at home or at my place of employment. I was terrified! I called the Ticket Clinic and they could not explain to me clearly what was going on and how to solve it. And their attitude was pay us and well take care of it. That scared me as well but attorney Vizcarro explained to me that their was nothing to worry about and gave me the total price for his services and he even let me finance his service with a small downpayment I need to finance his service I didnt have all the money at the time. Well to make a long story short he got the warrant removed in a few days and got the case dismissed. I was so relieved I cant thank God enough for leading me to attorney Vizcarrondo. I hope anyone reading this review finds the peace i found when hiring this attoreny.

Not impressed

I contacted this firm to help me process a traffic ticket. I ended up 6 months later NOT receiving notice of the court's decision thus I ended up paying not only Vizarrondo's fee but an additional fee of $60 for late payment AND the original fine itself so I am out of pocket about $120. I would hav...e been better served paying the fine in the first place and if necessary attending driving school. They claim they sent me notice of the court decision but funny I never received it BUT I did receive the warning from the court for non payment. This was after I had called the lawyers office on two separate occasions to find out the status of my case. My advice, dont waste your money or time. Pay the fine.

Dear Sokari, I believe communication is essential to a good attorney/client relationship and I always welcome feedback from my clients so we can improve our service. Unfortunately, it looks like communication broke down in this case. We went to court on your behalf on 6/14/17 and trial on 7/20/17. You were aware of those dates but you did not reach out to us after that. You have had your past tickets handled by other attorneys and are aware of the process. I wish you had contacted us after the hearing because we might have been able to help avoid any delay. We are available, at your convenience, to address any of your concerns.

Great job!

I've been using Felipe and his office for years!! He got my ticket dismissed entirely and always gave me an update with my case! I'm very happy with my results!!

Felipe is good

Felipe dismissed my case with no court cost in its entirety. He gets the job done. My only issue is that his office doesn't really keep you up to date when they go to court for you. I had to keep calling for updates. Other than that I've reffered him to several people and he beat all their cases.
