Owner- 1MJ

Mr. Saldana was extremely professional and patient from the start. He listened to me over the phone for over an hour and I wasn’t even his client yet. He didn’t over promise, he was realistic. I would have to say his thoroughness and his knowledge in his field are his stand out points. He will absolu...tely be my go to lawyer if I ever need assistance again.

Honest and Friendly

I’ve been using Edward for a few years now and regardless of what your issue is he can take care of it. You feel the confidence to ask questions anytime although he makes everything crystal clear and ensures you understand everything. Ive had cases where I thought nothing could be done and sure enoug...h Mr. Saldaña was able to help me. If you want transparency, attentive, and a knowledgeable attorney Edward is for you. One phone call with him is enough to be convinced of his character. One of the great things of choosing him is he will not just waste your time to make up lawyer fees, he will tell you if its worth pursuing or not.

Great Alternative

After we filed a mechanic lien on a property, where we weren't paid by the investor, we put the account into collections. The collections company drag the case and was only able to get us a fraction of the amount owed. Mr. Saldaña not only was able to resolve our dispute, but also back charge interes...t and his attorney fees. He guided us every step of the way, and work efficiently with us. He is a professional attorney who you can trust.

Great Lawyer

I hired Edward because my business had pass dues that a customer was refusing to pay. Edward helped me solve the problem step by step until the issue was solved. I truthfully 100% recommend Edward.

Glass & Storefront Solutions Inc.

We tried to get our payment for about 3 months without a response, we consulted him and hired. In one week everything was solved and finally we could get our pay. This is the second time that we use his services and we highly recommend him. Thanks Edward

  • 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.
