Disappointing

Ms. Garcia called me on the day of my preliminary hearing to ask me to tell her “what happened.” To make matters worse, this was 20 minutes after the required hearing time. I have never met her and was surprised and disappointed to learn that she would be handling my hearing 20 minutes after the ...hearing was set to begin. I did not hire her. I hired her associate. I was not told in advance nor consulted at all prior to the hearing. I was blindsided. She had no information about my case, and was completely unprepared. The prosecutor essentially walked all over her. She had no confidence, stammered and used the filler “ummm” more than a professional should. The only reason the hearing was reset and not sent directly to trial was because I interjected (which I was technically not supposed to do, but it worked). The prosecutor excused herself and said she would rejoin later to give me time to discuss the case with Ms. Garcia. She had not reviewed the evidence which I had shared weeks prior. Once I informed her of this, and the prosecutor rejoined the hearing, the date was reset. From my experience, she was not the caliber of attorney I would have chosen for myself. After doing thorough research, I hired her associate based on what I found. With this incident, I felt as if I was given the bait and switch routine. I am deeply disappointed and disillusioned by this. I should at, at minimum, been notified well in advance and given the opportunity to meet her prior to my hearing. At best, I should have been represented by the attorney that I specifically hired. I expect better at my next hearing and will update my review accordingly.

Excellent lawyer for my dwi case

Ms. Garcia was very accommodating with my case and has great communication skills. Her team worked very diligently to have my information current and on time. Very punctual when representing me in court.

Amazing Attorneys !!!!!!

Wow! We are so thankful with attorneys Alma Garcia and Mr. David Breston. This two attorneys did an amazing, amazing work in the case. After getting ripped off by other attorneys that said would help and only took our money, we found this two angels, Attorneys, Alma Garcia and Mr.David Breston. The...y took the case and even with little time to work on the case ,they did what other attorneys did not do, they work ! .....just like they said they would! They really do what you hired them to do, not like other attorneys that only give you false hoped and leave you hanging at the end, because they dont care. This attorneys really do help people and represent them and fight for them and defent their rights! The case was tuff since it involved possession of control substances ,but Attorneys Alma Garcia and Mr. David Breston got the case dismissed!!!!!!!! I highly recommend Alma Garcia and Mr. David Breston to anyone who is in need of a good attorney because they will fight for you, and you will not regret you hired them! My only regrets are, not finding them sooner! Thank You Attorneys, Alma Garcia and David Breston!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aggravated assault dismissed

Mrs Garcia handled my case and got it dismissed at the grand jury level. I don't know where I would be with her team right now if I was found guilty of false accusations. Thanks guys!!
