Ms. Rueda is everything you could want on your side in court!

In a nutshell, Ms. Rueda was simply awesome. She presents herself with the type of confidence and intelligence you would expect from your criminal defense attorney. In my case, she immediately put in the effort and footwork which resulted in an unbelievable turnaround of less than 24 hours. That's fr...om the time that I met her until walking out of the courtroom! My only regret is that I wish i would have found her sooner, before hiring my prior representation. Since, I have and will continue to recommend her to others caught in unfortunate situations.

Finally a trustworthy attorney

Unfortunately I've had to use a few attorneys in my day, Florencia Rueda was my fifth lawyer to work with and has definitely been my favorite and the only one I've found that I truly feel like I could trust. When you call the office's number Florencia herself will answer a significant majority of ...the time. never did I have to speak with some random receptionist and explain my situation to them. Her prices were more than fair and I felt like for the first time at attorney actually took the time to listen and also provided satisfactory feedback to my questions. I'd absolutely hire Attorney Florencia Rueda again for any criminal cases in Austin, Texas; no questions asked if I need a criminal attorney. She's also very personable, easy to speak with, non judgemental, and just an all around great person and even better attorney.

Couldn't be more thankful

I am a student from Dallas who got my second DWI while in Austin for the weekend. I felt like I could call Ms Rueda with any question at any time. She managed to get my DWI case dismissed. No fines, court costs, or probation. The only time I had to go down to Austin was to see my sobriety test footag...e. Extremely trustworthy.

Wonderful

Florencia and Duke are wonderful. I was facing a felony charge. Florencia told me not to worry, that it would certainly be dismissed. Her confidence and knowledge is very reassuring. After only a few months my case was indeed dismissed.

Florencia Rueda is an outstanding lawyer!

After a successful freshman year at UT, I thought my son was on a smooth path to graduation and a bright future. Well, it all came crashing down with a bit of bad judgment and a DWI arrest. I called Florencia without a clue how to proceed and not much hope. Florencia clearly explained the proc...ess, her strategies, and what to expect. She was very communicative, after a few meetings with my son, a few phone calls, and a few emails … well, she basically handled everything. My son will be attending some classes, doing some community service, and in the end will NOT have a DWI conviction on his record. A DWI arrest and conviction is very expensive. Based on my calculations, Florencia’s service was a fraction of the cost of pleading guilty. Thank you Florencia, you are a life saver.
