Saved my brother from prison

My brother had a bad run in with the police, it resulted in a physical altercation and needless to say as a POC they threw the book at him, and he was looking at multiple felonies. A friend recommended Mark, and so I called him up. He carefully reviewed everything and was super transparent about pr...icing and what he could achieve. We aren't rich, so we didn't know if we could afford the best defence for my brother. I can confidently say we got the absolute BEST defence and all the felonies were dismissed without us having to mortgage our house. I would totally recommend Mark to anyone who is having any legal trouble.

Excellent Attorney!

Attorney Mark Almanza represented me on a criminal case where I was unlawfully stopped. I had never been arrested before and attorney Almanza was able to explain and walk me through the court system. I was grateful for the experience and knowledge of attorney Almanza. He was reasonable with his fe...es and did exactly what he said he would do. I would recommend attorney Almanza to anyone. Best of all, he was able to get my case dismissed without going to trial.

Excellent attorney!

Mark was so helpful and knowledgeable in all areas in which I needed help. He successfully represented me when I was seeking child support and purchasing my home. He also provided legal expertise with some rental property I have. I would definitely recommend Mark for any legal representation needed!

Excellent Legal Choice

When I approached Mark with my legal concerns, he immediately responded detailing exactly what I needed to do. Throughout the process, Mark was honest and clear about the process and what I needed to contribute. It was evident with his attention to detail that my money was well spent. And the most im...portant part, we won!

Committed and hardworking

Mr. Almanza was extremely knowledgeable, communicated well and was extremely supportive throughout the entire proceeding. It was apparent from the onset that Mr. Almanza cared about the client, the outcome and ensuring we were all on the same page. Moreover, Mr. Almanza was available to discuss the c...ase at any hour which was helpful during trial as well as when questions/concerns arose. I would highly recommend Mr. Almanza due to his integrity, focus and desire to be a lawyer for the people.

Avvo Rating

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.
