He ignored my case until the last minute

I don't know if Miguel Ortiz still runs his own office or joined an attorney group, but if you ever encounter him please AVOID his legal services at all costs. He ignored my entire case until the day of court and asked for all of the info right before we went into the courtroom. He came off as unp...repared when speaking to the judge (obviously). Outside of the courtroom he was very unprofessional, & rude. AVOID Miguel Ortiz in the San Antonio area. He does not have your best interest at heart.

I should have listened to these other reviews

Mr. Ortiz was recommended to me by a family friend. This friend said that he was the best divorce lawyer in town. I read all of these negative reviews about him, but disregarded them based on the testimony of this family friend. I cannot overstate what a huge mistake that was. Every word of these neg...ative reviews is accurate. I felt completely alone, filling out all the divorce paperwork without any guidance from the man to whom I had paid thousands of dollars to represent me. He never notified me about anything to the point where I had to hear about court dates from the woman I was trying to divorce. He never shared with me any court filings regarding the case, even after I repeatedly asked to see them. He treated requests for clarification and assistance with nothing short of disdain. On the rare occurrence that he did take my calls to answer questions, he did so in the most condescending manner possible. He would say things like "I don't even know why you're asking me this. These things are very straightforward. You could figure it out yourself if you stopped over thinking it." and do anything to get off the phone as quickly as possible while providing as little actual legal advice as possible. I was filling out paperwork while terrified that my wife was going to take away my access to my children, and the man treated my questions like nothing more than an annoyance and an inconvenience. When I pointed out that the manner in which he was answering my questions was offending me, he blew up, yelled at me, and quit representing me on the spot. One month out from divorce proceedings he abandoned me because I dared to point out that I didn't think he was treating me professionally. After hiring him, I am unquestionably worse off than I was before. I beg you, for your own sake, do NOT hire this man.

Do not hire

I hired Mr. Ortiz to represent me. The bad reviews are true. The amount he charges does not compare to the work. He does not take the time to properly review your case. He does make himself available but forgets key information on the day of court or ask for information at the last minute. You end up... finding about your court date the afternoon or night prior. He does not keep you up to date on the actions taken and says he tells you things when he does not. He is arrogant and rude. And don’t try to tell him he is not doing a good job because he will snap at you. Loves to mansplain. My problems are worse now then before I hired him. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Excellent Attorney

I hired Mr. Ortiz for family legal services a few months ago. From my initial consultation, all the way to the actual court trial. He was available to answer all of my questions throughout and was able to handle any concerns that I had. This attorney is straight forward with a high level of expertise... and professionalism. I am very much pleased with Mr. Ortiz and his law office.

Very bad experience. Muy mala experiencia.

Contrate los servicios del licenciado en septiembre del 2105, para agosto del 2106, seguimos en lo mismo, ningún avance, difícil de contactar y que te devuelva las llamadas. La primera cita se vendió como la persona que iba a velar por tus intereses y que para el la comunicación era muy importante, t...enia que hacer cita para saber el estatus de mi caso por que por teléfono jamas respondía, le dije que no quería que me representara mas en agosto del 2016 y apenas el día de hoy marzo 1 del 2017, me llego la moción de que no me representaba mas. Definitivamente no pierdan el tiempo, su dinero y su bienestar emocional. Debi haber hecho caso a los reviews. I hired Mr. Ortiz back in September 2015 a year later a I have to fired him because was done with my case, for a year I struggle to get any communication from him or his office, the only way I could information was by stop in by his office and waited for him to see me. He took my money didn't do anything and I could never get in touch with him, half of the time he was out of the country, don't waist your time with this guy.
