Successful DWI case

I found Jose and the Scheiner law group through an internet search after I had been arrested for DWI. After blowing a 0.127 on the breath test I knew my situation was challenging and that I needed first class representation in order to bring my case to a successful conclusion. My interactions with Jo...se were always positive. He reviewed the evidence carefully and provided his opinion on how the case should be handled. These situations are always distressing for someone unfamiliar with the process, but Jose remained calm, confident and provided the advice that best suited my set of circumstances. Things started off well as he was successful in keeping my driving license at the ALR trial. As time wore on and the likelihood of a trial increased, Jose provided enough reassurance to keep me focused on achieving a positive result rather than taking a plea bargain. I am so happy that I put my faith in Jose because the case was dismissed after a mistrial due to the jury being hung 5-1 not guilty. This success was all down to Jose’s first class defence. He expertly picked apart the testimonies of the arresting officer and breath test expert during the cross examination and was the model of good manners during the trial. He also gave the judge, jury and prosecution to upmost respect when interacting with them which I believe contributed to the successful outcome of the case. I will always be in the debt of Jose and the Scheiner law group. They have allowed me to continue my life without the trouble and inconvenience of having a DWI conviction hanging over my head. Thank you.

The Best Decision I ever made.

As I was arrested with my first DWI charge, I was worried and completely lost at what to do. I was referred to Jose by a close family friend. The moment I sat down with this gentlemen I knew I was in good hands. He made me feel at ease and was very clear and upfront from the beginning. Jose took the ...time on my case that was necessary to get the job done properly. My ALR hearing went first and we won! My license was never suspended. Next, the state offer a pre-trial diversion program. Jose helped me understand my options clearly so I could make an informed decision. I decided to go to trial, I knew I was in great hands and had complete faith in Jose. Well it's trial day, and Jose was well prepared, long story short Jose got my case dismissed in the middle of the trial because of a problem with the traffic stop. It was finally over and Jose helped me get through it all. having Jose on my side was the best decision I ever made. I Highly recommend him to anyone in the same or similar situation I was in. Jose is the best man for the job and you can count on that.

ASSAULT CASE FOUND "NOT GUILTY"..... VERY PROFESSIONAL & AMAZING ATTORNEY...

My Husband was charge with an assault. First Attorney we went to go see for my Husband's case was Mr Ceja. He explained to us about my Husband's case and was very upfront about it. Mr Ceja, an honest Attorney with my Husband and myself from the beginning of the consultation all the way to end. He let... us know from the start what the possible outcomes were. Mr Ceja is very professional and always responsive to mine and my Husband's questions no matter how minor. After we finished talking to Mr Ceja, I told my Husband we do not need to see another Attorney I (his wife) want Mr Ceja to repesent you. Mr Ceja put us to ease throughout this very stressful situation. He handled my husband's case and is always professional and informative of the whole legal process. He is well respected in the courtroom and always showed professionalism among his peers, courtroom staff and more importantly, my husband the client. He handled my Husband's assault case very professional. Very happy and pleased with the outcome "NOT GUILTY" was the verdict. I would refer Attorney Jose Ceja to any family member, or friend. Thank You so much Attorney Jose Antonio Ceja...

DWI Case Dismissed! Really Sharp

From the get go, Jose was very helpful. The initial office visit was very reassuring. Jose and I spoke about my case, and other cases that were similar to mine. He told me about how there are two cases, the ALR case and the criminal case, and how both affect me and my license. Jose and his firm do ...everything they can to get your license back to you as soon as possible. Jose let me know about the steps they would take to keep my DWI off my record, and how to get the case dismissed, and also walked me though the process of if they could not get the case dismissed and what would happen next. They were very clear about what fees, if any other I would need to pay early on so there were no surprises. Jose's firm was very helpful, if I ever needed anything i could call them and they would let me know what was going on. They also call you to remind you about your court date the day before, just so you don't forget. Jose was there with me at every court appearance, this is very reassuring as you are in court, you know your lawyer is there fighting for you, not worrying about someone else's case. Since this was my first ever infraction going to court was really scary, Jose let me know what to expect and was there with me at every appearance. Jose had a keen eye when he reviewed my stop. The Officer had no reason to pull me over. Armed with this information Jose had my case dismissed. If I ever needed another lawyer Jose would be the one I go to.

Amazing Lawyer

Mr. Ceja was amazing in handling my DWI case. I was pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving in October '11, after "failing" the field sobriety test I was arrested and charged with DWI. Having a previous DWI charge I knew the damages that a second charge would cause me and was determined not to let ...that happen to me again. I was very fortunate in choosing Mr. Ceja to represent me in this case after searching through countless lawyer directories. From the onset Mr. Ceja made me feel like the outcome of this charge would not be like my first time and that he really was going to do everything he could to win my case. I am very thankful to Mr. Ceja for allowing me to discuss all my questions and concerns with him without making me feel like I was "just another paycheck" to him as I have felt with lawyers in the past. Going to trial I was very nervous but I was able to take some comfort in knowing I had an intelligent, honest, capable, and sincere lawyer fighting for me. I can't thank Mr. Ceja enough for getting me a not guilty verdict in my case.
