Absolutely Unprofessional

Veronica Legarreta has proven to be very unprofessional. She takes weeks, and even months to respond to case inquiries. Both Veronica and her assistant are verbally aggressive, rude and have even yelled at us on more than one occasion. We requested an itemized bill to check retainer funds status. V...eronica became irate, slamming folders onto her desk, and berated her assistant in front of us for being inefficient. Veronica emailed us the following day, stating she would no longer be our attorney. Over the last 2 months, she continues to be difficult in transferring our file to our new attorney. We have decided to have a police escort accompany us to retrieve our paperwork, in person. Veronica Legarretta is a physically and verbally hostile person. We will certainly report her behavior to the State Bar for unprofessionalism.

Very responsive, professional, delightful to work with

We hired Ms Legaretta when our son was charged with multiple non-violent felonies, and looking at a sentence of 25 years. Immediately after hiring her, she did the research, formulated a plan, communicated that plan to us, and then went to work. As with all worried parents, we had questions every day.... She encouraged us to text or call as often as we had questions. And she responded with minutes or hours everytime. She was always straight forward, even when the information wasn't what we wanted to hear. She coordinated and collaborated with the prosecutor multiple times, and was able to get a much lesser sentence. Her rates were very affordable, and accepted a payment plan. She made the legal process as easy as possible. She always fully explained the process which helped us understand. We definitely recommend her if you are in need of a criminal lawyer.

Thorough, patient and respectful

Veronica Legarreta is the reason I have my son with me today. He could have been sent to jail for a prank that resulted in a misdemeanor.

Awesome Attorney!!!!

Extremely knowledgeable and helpful with my case. Would want to have Veronica in my corner every time. Case dismissed!

Great attorney!

Ms. Veronica was my criminal attorney for a DWI I had and she was wonderful! I was so nervous since it was my first time in trouble and didn't know what to expect. Ms. Veronica walked me through everything. She got me a license to drive and got my case dismissed.

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.
