PESIMO ABOGADO

NO CONTRATEN A ESTE SUJETO, ES UNA VERGUENZA COMO ABOGADO. SUPLIQUE JUSTICIA MORAL A MI DIGNIDAD COMO MUJER Y SER HUMANO POR TODO EL ABUSO Y SOMETIMIENTO EN EL MATRIMONIO. Y SU MISERABLE CONSEJO, FUE MANUPULARME FAVORECER A LA CONTRAPARTE POR SUS PROPIOS INTERESES, DEJARME SIN UN CENTAVO Y ANULAR T...ODOS MIS DERECHOS, UD SE TOMO ATRIBUCIONES EN PEDIR FINALIZACION DE CORTE SIN MI CONSENTIMIENTO, YO ME NEGUE Y PEDI A UD REALIZAR UNA AUDITORIA, A LA CUAL UD SE NEGO, SIN VER MIS DERECHOS EN TODO SENTIDO Y SIN QUE EL JUEZ SUPIERA QUE EL SUJETO CON QUIEN ESTABA CASADA, ME CERRARA TODAS LAS CUENTAS DE DINERO Y MANIPULARA TODO HASTA LA VIVIENDA EN QUE YO HABITABA PARA DEJARME EN LA CALLE. No sea tan cínico en su respuesta a mi reseña, ud es un mediocre, sin empatía, manipulador, mentiroso, UD solo se mueve por dinero, SE PERFECTAMENTE QUE HIZO CON MI CASO Y COMO ME MANIPULO SIN NINGUNA CLASE DE EMPATIA, COBARDE, EN VEZ DE PEDIR A SUS CLIENTES QUE VAYAN A VIVIR A UN SHELTER SIN DEFENDER SUS DERECHOS, LLEVE A VIVIR A SU MUJER O A SUS HERMANAS, HIJOS O FAMILIA A UN SHELTER DESPUES DE QUE HAYAN TENIDO ALGÚN TIPO DE ABUSOS. ATREVIDO. UD NO TRABAJA CON JUSTICIA, SINO EN FAVORECER A LOS DELINCUENTES. LA VIDA LE REGRESE MULTIPLICADO CADA ACCIÓN MALA QUE TUVO CONMIGO Y CON MI CASO, CÍNICO RESENTIDO. Pesimo abogado Mario, fui para proceso de divorcio de un alcoholico muy abusivo, no soporte mas los abusos y el sometimiento de todo tipo durante todo el matrimonio, fui una buena esposa, soporte con la esperanza de un cambio que nunca sucedio y llegue a mi limite. Este pesimo abogado mario, solo tuvo un trato amable cuando me capto como cliente, despues de eso, denigrante y miserable su trato hacia mi, ninguna etica, respeto, ni profesionalismo, mediocre abogado, abusivo, me hablo todo el tiempo con total resentimiento social, colocandose como ejemplo comparando lo duro que fue la vida con el, tomandose atribuciones que no le correspondian, tomando ante mi caso y ante la corte, decisiones sin mi autorización y negativa, hizo lo que se le antojo con mi caso, ocacionando daños y repercusiones muy graves, paso por encima de mi como cliente en nuchos sentidos, con una actitud altiva, soverbia, atrevida, sin ninguna clase de empatía, tenía interés y proximidad con el abogado de la contraparte, favoreciendolos a ellos, nunca pelio por mis derechos, me sacaron de mi casa, tuvo la desfachates de decirme que me fuera a vivir a un shelter y diera a mis 3 perros en adopción después de la 1a corte de ese dia, sin mi consentimiento pidio finalización del divorcio sin pedir auditoria a lo que monetariamente se construyo durante el matrimonio. En ocaciones llegue a citas con el y tenía el cinismo de estar pegado al celular sin ni si quiera verme a la cara, tuve que decirle en 2 ocaciones que dejara lo que hacia que me prestará atención, es una verguenza como abogado y como ser humano deja mucho que desear. Personas como estas que carecen de empatia, ninguna calidad humana ni humanidad, creo, estoy segura que eligio la profesión equivocada. Cuando le hago reclamación por su pesimo trabajo, me dejo el caso tirado, despues de haberle pagado mas que una muy buena cantidad de dinero, es pasivo en la corte, mediocre, no me defendio en lo absoluto de los multiples ataques de la contraparte, mientras el otro abogado todo lo que yo decia, lo confronto, no llega preparado a la corte con documentación, no tiene interés de establecer con el cliente una relación mas que de dinero y ser un número más. Parecia mas el abogado de la contraparte, jamás me hizo sentir segura mi cómoda, por el contrario cuando llego a la corte fue enseguida con el abogado de la contraparte a reir, abrazar, a quedarse a su lado, eso es patético y falta de profesionalismo.

Poor Customer Service/Communication

If you need an attorney please do not hire these people. I had a simple case that went on for a year, and because of that I have hospital liens add up to 55K going on bureau credits. Besides that no communication no set lawyer. It was about two different people who represented me throughout that yea...r. I'm so disappointed in these people and I plead with anyone else not to hire these unprofessional people.

Highly intellegent and dedicated team!

When I contacted this law firm I was involved in a child custody battle and I knew I needed the right lawyer or I would for sure not get what I was petitioning for. I had already lost once with another attorney. I knew of Mr. Herrera and I knew he was a fighter and very intellgent. This firm and thei...r staff are dedicated to helping their clients and helping them win! I will never use or recommend another lawyer! I couldn't have asked for a better outcome on my case! I am grateful to Mr. Herrera for his help and his team! These are truly amazing attorneys!!
