Posted by anonymous | April 27, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Prepared and professional

Mr. Menendez represented me on a traffic ticket case. He was very professional throughout and stayed on top of the case, so I didn't have to stress out about it such as taking care of scheduling the correct type of court date and dealing with a hostile witness. When it came time to have the hearing M...r. Menendez met with me, and listened to what I had to say about the incident. He explained the law to me and what our strategy was for the hearing. When we got to the hearing, it was clear he was prepared. He had cases to argue in my defense, and he knew who to talk to and look for to get the information we needed. My case was called quickly and dismissed before I could even get up to the podium. I would definitely recommend hiring Mr. Menendez.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
