highly recommended

I retained Tony for a landlord tenant dispute, when the landlord rufused to give me my security deposit back. The landlord falsely accused me of damaging the apartment to try to take my money. We then retained Tony to take the landlord to court and we won!!! Plus we got attorneys fees on top our secu...rity deposit. Thanks, Tony

Excellent Lawyer

Tony is excellent Lawyer. He knows the ins and outs of the justice system, and knows exactly how to beat them at their own game. His defense strategy is comprehensive, detailed and tailored to you and your case. I was in a tough scenario, in a county that is notorious for being difficult and hard h...eaded, but with Tony's work and quick action he fought for me. At the end of the fight we came out the winners. Highly recommend him! You won't be disappointed.

Amazing Job! Works for the little man!

I called Tony with a problem with a car sold and the owner never transferred the title after a year! The car got into an accident by a third party driving it and guess who was sued for the damages. We were able to get enough evidence to prove that I wasn't the owner. And so after a few months and ve...ry little work on my end, we were able to dismiss my case. I can't thank him enough after saving me time, money and a lot of stress!

Landlord tenant dispute

As a busy business owner and landlord, I don't always have the time to handle tenant disputes. This specific incident had been blown out of proportion and had dragged on for nearly 6 months. As soon as Attorney De Los Santos got involved, case dismissed!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
