Leticia Perez

Leticia Perez is a horrible excuse for a lawyer. I feel sorry for anyone who is unlucky enough to get her as a court appointed lawyer. She was assigned to my case for an expired MMMP license. I got to talk to her for five minutes before my preliminary exam. She told me it was "just a technicality"... and I "might get fines at most". This was the only time she even stepped foot in the courtroom with me. At my next court date, I spoke with her for 5 minutes. Then she left the courthouse and had one of her coworkers go in front of the judge with me. After this court date, I had some questions to ask her, so I called her office. I did not receive a call back. I called once or twice a week until my sentencing date with no response from her. When I went to court for my sentencing, she did not even show up. Once again, a different coworker of hers went before the judge with me. I was sentenced to 30 days in jail, so my wife tried contacting her while I was in jail, but also got no response. Overall, I tried to reach her for 10-12 weeks without hearing a single word from her. I would never, ever hire her by choice. She did nothing but neglect her job as my defense attorney and completely ignored me- never returned my phone calls and did not even show up to defend me in court. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone. If I ever need an attorney again, I will make sure it's not Leticia Perez.
