Carlos Alberto Monzon

We hired Mr. Monzon for a fairly simple case concerning my nephew. Mr. Monzon did some things well--consolidating charges and getting the lesser one dropped. But then he dropped the ball. His office did not file a needed waiver, landing my nephew in jail for failure to appear--even though the appe...arance was supposed to have been waived. Although his office did help me get my nephew out of jail after 5 days, Mr. Monzon did not return calls, emails, or even a certified letter asking for a clarification of what was going on. Much more troubling is that Mr. Monzon did not return my nephew's calls in the two weeks before the sentencing date, did not speak to my nephew, did not solicit any letters from me or others who knew my nephew, including doctors and counselors, and misrepresented the facts in his presentation to the judge. My nephew's sentence, though within the guidelines, was substantially beyond what we had expected, had relevant information been presented. Although we would have been disappointed by the sentence in any case, we would have accepted it as unavoidable if we believed that our lawyer had fully and faithfully presented the many mitigating circumstances to the judge.

I hired Carlos to represent me in a federal indictment were I was facing 0 to 20 years. I already consulted with 5 other Attorneys. All the other Attorneys either would not take my case or told me the best they could do was Get 5 to 7 years. Carlos not only took my case but he took it to trial. Throu...gh out the trial I was amazed at how organized he was and how prrpared he was. He had the jury memorized with facts. Not only was I impressed with his knowledge of the case, the case was ultimately thrown out after the prosecution presented its case. His presence in the court was far superior to the prosecution. I would recommend Carlos Monzon law firm to anyone facing any kind of charges. Also his staff was always professional and kept me informed on everything throughout the case. I can't thank them enough his law firm saved my life.
