Eugenia Mendez de la Torre

We are an elderly couple who needed immediate help with a criminal matter in Harris county. Our son-in-law suggested the Santos law firm. We worked with Attorney de la Torre. Eugenia is professional and effective. I watched her present issues in the court several times. She literally held my hand thr...ough our whole ordeal. And she fought for my husband’s best interests. We paid an upfront payment, so no hidden costs start to finish. Mario allowed us to do this over a few months of payments, which being old and on fixed income, I really appreciated. I would highly recommend this law firm, and Eugenia de la Torre in particular. They will certainly be out first choice should we need criminal help again in Houston.

Traffic Violation

Mario is an AMAZING attorney. I received a traffic violation, failing to yield. Mario represented me and was ready for trial. He was representing someone at 9am and 11am and rushed to make mine at 10am. Mario arrived ready for trial, and after talking to the Prosecutor (2 min after his arrival) we re...ceived a dismissal. This process was smooth and easy. Mario is extremely informative, effective and the best! Instead of having to be in probation, pay attorney fees, etc., we walked out with a dismissal! I will always go back to him if I am seeking legal representation.

Thorough and knowledgeable

Retained Mario to help with a felony drug possession charge. He thoroughly reviewed the case and discovered problems with the prosecution case including lack of evidence and questionable arrest among other things. Showed up for the first hearing and Mario discussed the case with the prosecutor. Resul...t? Case dismissed. No court costs nor further problems. Have a legal problem? Definitely hire Attorney Mario Santos.

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.
