Un abogado que promete justicia y no cumple su palabra
Cuando contratamos al abogado Rodriguez nos prometio que ayudaria a nuestro familiar con su caso criminal. Nos dijo que el iva a demostrar su inocencia que era un caso facil.Cada que nos citaba o pediamos cita con el nos decia que iva a ser esto aquello y cuando llegabamos a la corte no hacia nada de...
Señora, nuestra investigación revela que usted es la esposa del asesino convicto. Su esposo mato a una persona inocente. Sus comentarios son contrarios a la evidencia que puede ser proporcionada por cientos de clientes satisfechos de numerosos despidos en casos estatales y federales, mociones para suprimir otorgadas, órdenes judiciales otorgadas, veredictos dirigidos otorgados, así como y no limitado a veredictos de no culpabilidad entre otros. En otras palabras, estos cientos de casos los he ganado. Yo peleo para ganar casos, y hubiera ganado el caso de ustedes también. Yo no recuerdo haberle dicho a usted ni a nadie de su familia que este era un caso fácil. Al contrario, le fui muy claro cuando le dije que yo quería pelear el caso de su esposo para exonerar los cargos, que la ley que aplicaba la primer vez de la entrevista por los oficiales cuando no se presentaron cargos estaba a favor del caso de su esposo. Este caso duró más de un año y medio en mi defensa tratando de quitarle los cargos a su esposo. Nunca le aconsejé a su esposo que se declarara culpable. Yo le sugerí y animé a usted, a su esposo y a su familia llevar este caso a un juicio. Él y ustedes expresaron miedo y dijeron que no. Ustedes contrataron a otro abogado con menos experiencia que yo. Es obvio que ustedes no saben esto, pero ese nuevo abogado me llamó a mi para hablar con él acerca del caso. Yo le informé que él podría obtener 15 años de sentencia en este caso. Y fue exactamente lo que él hizo; avisarle al reo que aceptara la sentencia de 15 años. Yo estoy convencido de que si me hubieran dejado terminar mi trabajo, yo hubiera despedido los cargos de homicidio contra el acusado. Sí, los cité a ustedes varias veces en mi oficina para informarles lo que estaba haciendo en el caso. Ustedes obviamente se desesperaron, no me dejaron completar mi trabajo de despedir los cargos, contrataron a otro abogado con menos experiencia, quien envió al acusado a la prisión por 15 años. Así que contrario a lo que usted tenga que decir, no se queje por la imprudente decisión que ustedes tomaron.

Rigoberto Rodriguez is an incompetent attorney he lacks in all Areas of Practice!
Rigoberto represented my family member for a 1yr ½. We had to seek for a new attorney after seeing that his intentions weren’t to help. He lacks in all Areas of Practice! He showed no interest toward the case nor did he ever approach the DA to negotiate an outcome for our relative. The DA instead cal...
Dear Anonymous, you are not. Your statement that I am incompetent to handle a criminal case is based on the following: Your family hired me to represent your relative in a murder charge. Your family member was arrested for murder. I explained the case to you, your family members and the defendant different times. His case dealt with the previous application of the "Aguilar-Spinelli" law which much favored him at the time that he was previously interviewed for the same murder investigation, charges were not filed at that time. Subsequent to the change of law and the new application of Illinois vs Gates, overruling Aguilar-Spinelli; the Supreme Court established the "Total Circumstances Test" as the new application of Probable Cause Standard. Law enforcement re-interviewed your family member and he confessed to the murder. I defended your family member very diligently to secure a dismissal of his murder case. He benefited from the application of the previous Aguilar-Spinelli initial police investigation as well as some of the new existing Law. Furthermore, to challenge the legality of his confession for murder and work towards a dismissal. Halfway into my efforts to obtain a dismissal for your family member; you all decided to go and hire a less experienced attorney that resulted in your family member pleading guilty to murder and accepted the offer that I informed the new lawyer that he could get of 15 years. I am sure you don't know, but that lawyer called me to discuss the case with me and I informed him that he could get your family member 15 years. You state in your review that the ADA kept telling me that I was making mistakes. Your reference relates to an event when all the files were stacked in the same area and I accidentally grabbed a different file that on top of your relative's file and handed it over to the ADA. I later explained that to you, specifically and your response was clear: "Yes, that can happen to anybody", indicating that it was an honest mistake relating to grabbing the different file. This action had no relevance with the quality of the extensive legal strategical and experienced legal representation that I was providing to your family member. I am convinced that given the opportunity to have concluded my legal representation of your family member, I would have been successful in securing the dismissal of the murder charges against your family member. Nevertheless, part of your review deals with a call that I received from your family asking for money back, to which I asked how much. The brief conversation concluded with no specific amount. After this conversation, you all decided to file a meritless complaint with the State Bar of Texas. Such meritless complaint promptly ended in a dismissal with no participation on my part; only a notification from the State Bar of the dismissal. In conclusion, you all sought my legal representation on a murder case that your relative confessed to. I made every aggressive and diligent experienced strategic effort to secure a dismissal for your now convicted relative. You all decided to hire a new less experienced lawyer that made it impracticable to conclude my efforts to secure the dismissal for your relative of the murder charge. You asked for money back, filed a meritless complaint with the State Bar of Texas that resulted in a prompt dismissal, ultimately you all decided to write a negative review as your choice. I promptly returned all calls, even if calls are made to my cell when I am at court. I was very specific on which direction I was taking the defense, in this case, a dismissal, and you all did not want to wait. I insisted on trying this case to trial and you and your relative did not want that. I try cases and I would have tried this one if the client desired so as he did not. This one negative review is part of all minimally 6 different posted reviews on different websites (Yelp, Avvo, Google) that relate to the same one murder case.

Case Dismissed
I hired Mr. Rodriguez for a POM case back in August and I instantly realize that I had made the best decision possible. His bedside manner, his timeliness, and his expertise were all key in the dismissal of my case. Although it became a lengthy process due to the prosecutions persistence, Mr. Rodrigu...
