Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Vela represented me in a personal injury case, I received the best legal representation and was walked through the entire process. I suffered personal injuries and property damage. The settlement Mr. Vela obtained exceeded my expectations.

Great lawyer

Definitely a great lawyer. He Helped me with my traffic ticket. He took care of my ticket immediately and got it dismissed. He was very helpful and professional. I highly recommend him!

No good

My family and I spent a lot of money on Mrs. Vela and he didn't do a good job representing me. I had never been in trouble before and instead of working with the co defendant he worked against her. She got off with less time and less everything compared to me and her lawyer was free. I also needed hi...m later on to try and get me off earlier and sent another $1000 in and instead he used that money for paperwork which I provided for something else. I have paid him over $8000 and 5 years later I'm still on probation. I've requested information for my case and never received it. He promised a lot and came through with nothing that makes him untrustworthy. He was never responsive I alway has to call a few times to get ahold of him. He also never kept me informed unless I made the initiative.

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.
