Michael James Magana

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the legal representation provided by Mr. Michael Magana, whom I engaged for my case. Unfortunately, my experience with Mr. Magana has been highly unsatisfactory, and I feel compelled to bring the following concerns to your attention. Lack of Commu...nication: Despite multiple attempts to communicate with Mr. Magana, I encountered significant challenges in reaching him directly. He did not return calls, and I was often left in the dark regarding the progress of my case. Failure to Follow Up with the Courts: The lack of responsiveness extended to Mr. Magana's failure to follow up with the courts to reschedule proceedings. This neglect had a detrimental impact on the progression of my case. Acceptance of Guilty Plea without Consultation: I am deeply troubled by the fact that Mr. Magana accepted a guilty plea on my behalf without proper consultation or consideration of alternative legal strategies. This decision was made without adequately exploring the nuances of my case, and it appears to have been a hasty attempt to expedite the process. Excessive Fees for Inadequate Service: Despite the subpar level of service provided, Mr. Magana charged me a substantial amount of money. I find it unacceptable to have paid such fees for legal representation that was not only ineffective but, in my view, negligent. Previous Reprementation for Similar Issues: It has come to my attention that Mr. Magana has faced disciplinary action in the past for similar concerns related to accepting payment without fulfilling his professional obligations to clients. Given these circumstances, I felt it was imperative to bring these matters to your attention. I believe that Mr. Magana's conduct raises serious ethical and professional concerns, and I hope that appropriate steps will be taken to address these issues.

I had the unfortunate experience of having to be at a local day spa the same evening Magana was there and he was the most inconsiderate person I’ve ever experienced in a day spa. I can’t speak on his attorney skills or lack thereof but as a general citizen, he lacks common decency. He made sure every...one in this business knew who he was and was extremely loud from the moment I walked in the door. He took every work related phone call that he got, speaking publicly about someone’s recent incarceration. So I suggest if you hire him, don’t expect your business to be confidential. He made the entire experience very unpleasant to several customers and all of us complained. Do better, Magana. The quiet room is called the QUIET ROOM for a reason.

i hired him and all he did was joke around and play like we were in High school. He offered to trade services for construction work on one of his rentals but i refused and just paid cash. His staff is a staff of idiots who could never answer my questions. When we finally went to court he needed 3 oth...ers to help him stumble through the proceedings. Needless to say I lost! What a joke he should be disbarred! A bumbling bafoon who is better off working at Wal Mart. I am surprised he ever was able to get a license to practice law, guess they will give one to anyone who applies.
