The Worst There Could Ever be

This guy screwed up my case from the getgo. The worst experience ever. If you don't pay him he drops you. Stay as far away from this playboy lawyer as you can.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Serious Police charged

I had a very limited access to money when I was looking for a lawyer on very serious criminal charges. I was referred to Atty Moreno because he was willing to take my case for a price I could afford. He was a God send and immediately went to work advising me and working with the prosecution team, and... judge , in order to reduce and eliminate my bond. Rudy is well dressed , mannered and most importantly a friend. He does the job of an overpriced lawyer for sir Andy C

Legal Services in Hartford

Rudy provided legal services for me on several occasions which resulted into positive outcomes. His ability to communicate and respond to client needs was effective. He is detail oriented, patient and has an attention to quality which I find extremely valuable. I also recognize he has a great support... network to leverage. I am pleased with his work and find his services to be a good value.

Brilliant

He was intelligible, intuitive an hardworking. In the end, he got the job done. I was facing a couple charges and he knew exactly what to do. He got me off and my record is clear. He truly came through for me. Thanks Rudy!!

Good but incomplete

He gave great details in explaining however when I replied back the full touchy situation to make him clear he never responded back. So I'm still not sure what we should do

Avvo Rating

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.
