Best Go To Lawyer Around!

Handled my cases very well and got me through a difficult time in my life. He's very professional, takes your case serious and actually puts his all into it and gets the job done! I would highly recommend to anyone who needs their case handled wisely.

ZERO STARS IF I COULD

TERRIBLE ATTORNEY who tried to charge me $2500 to refile a wrong Motion HE MESSED UP ON AND HAD NO CLUE ABOUT! He DOES NOT care about his clients and only about money! The reviews below are clearly fake and probably paid for by the attorney himself (a lot of attorneys pay clients to write good review...s for them). HORRIBLE SERVICE, unanswered emails and calls, never gave me my own legal documents! This guy is a FRAUD!

Awsome Lawyer! Great Guy!

I met Mr. Olivas 3 years ago, didnt think much about him, My husband kept going back to him. I thought he is a normal criminal defense attorney, who just wants to bill you. After a while, I started communicating with him. He is an awesome attorney and really cares for his clients. He gets the job... done and doesnt play around. Honestly, I thought no way, he will get a favorable outcome for my husband's cases, but he sure did! My family is grateful to Dave!!!

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.
