Edward represented me in a DUI with accident case. He immediately responded to me on a Saturday morning. Right away, I could tell that he cared about giving me the best representation that he could. He gave me realistic expectations on what charges I could be looking at. I appreciated his honesty. He...

Honest, Experienced, Effective Legal Advice
Edward made it clear that he would listen to my story and take all things into consideration when proceeding with my case.

Quick answer and informative
I found Mr Angel's response to my question very informative and helpful and he was so quick to reply. He is not from my area and even so, offered good advice and gave me direction on how to get the information I need.
"The answers of Mr. Angel are consistently accurate, full of analysis, and are customized to the needs of the Avvo askers. These are exactly the qualities that every client would look for when hiring an attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Angel is a very effective and knowledgeable attorney. His representation of his clients is excellent."
"An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services."
"Edward and I had co-defendants on a matter. He is genuine and very knowledgeable. He is easy to work with. Edward brings his prosecutorial experience to the table to provide a well-rounded aggressive defense for his clients. Edward has also helped me out in the courtroom on a separate matter when I was having a first time experience. He clearly explained what I needed to do, which I greatly appreciated! Not everyone takes the time to help others out and that act showed his kind character. I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer."
"Edward and I were on opposing sides for many years as he was a county prosecutor and I a county public defender. Facing Edward always brought out the best in me as I know he would be overly prepared on every case. He was very straight forward with me on cases we tried against each other. Edward is not afraid to spend the extra time on a case if it is needed. If he was in the courtroom I knew I had to be more prepared than other days. I would say we handled many hundred if not thousands of cases against each other and I felt this way every time. I strongly endorse Edward as he is levelheaded and extremely hard working, no matter the issues presented."
