False promises

Spoke to Chris once. He promised to always be available, I could call or text any time. Hired the firm and never heard from him again. All text and phone calls went unanswered. Bait and switch. I would not recommend.

Helped me out with my case

I called Mr. Cavazos when I caught a case in Pleasanton. It was important that I not have a case on my record because of my job. Mr Cavazos took care of the case and I was able to keep my job.

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 12

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Christopher for nearly a decade. We have worked together on cases as well as fought against each other as opposing counsel on numerous occasions. Mr. Cavazos has the increasingly rare asset of being able to effectively advocate for clients at such a high level that often times cases don't make it to trial due to his pre-trial negotiation skills. If they do make it to trial though, Chris has an incredible amount of experience in the courtroom, which make him a rarity in the criminal defense world. I enthusiastically endorse him."

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.

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.
