Expect results, that is her art.

I have never hired a lawyer before, so I do not have a basis of comparison. I do know that if I was ever in need of one at least my search for a great lawyer is complete. Mrs. Rueda helped me in a Domestic Assault case w/ Bodily Injury - Misdemeanor Class A with a bond of $10k. The wording and lan...guage used in the police report made my case look very bad and I thought all hope was lost. Mrs. Rueda has significant influence in the community and I did not spend a day in jail nor pay a fine. My case was dismissed and will be expunged from my record in 2 years with good behavior. Mrs. Rueda does not beat around the bush, she tells you how it is and has a long track record of successes to back herself up. I was in disbelief after everything she came through, it seemed too good to be true. She is very busy but efficient. Do not expect her to hold your hand through the whole process legal process. Expect results, that is her art. She is a very talented young lawyer which will have enormous success. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the need of criminal defense. If you have read this review, I think its safe to say your search for a lawyer is over.

Flo is a Tough Austin Lawyer

Flo is a great lawyer. I only wish that I had contacted her sooner. I had no criminal record and Flo made the problem all go away. If it ever happens again she will be the first person I call. Flo was highly recommended and did not disappoint. Flo is a cool person, and a lawyer that will take you...r situation seriously, and fight for you. I can't thank her enough.

Great Attorney!..I highly reccommend using her.

Florencia is a really knowledgeable lawyer, even though she has been in the law business for a couple years, she has the knowledge of a lawyer with 20 years plus experience, and you can get that service for only a fraction of the cost. She got my assault case dismissed within months and really cared... about my case. She did her best to get the case dismissed and kept me well informed. Not once did I feel that she was going to fail me. She is really confident and is not afraid to take on the prosecution. Go with her and you will not be disappointed I can promise you that. Hands down the best criminal defense attorney in the region.

Great results! Fair, professional, reliable

Florencia Rueda was an excellent attorney for us. She was professional, very clear in her process, kept us up to date, and achieved perfect results. I couldn't have been happier, and would definately recommend her and use her again.

Trustworthy, honest, capable, non-money-minded, client centric, reasonable, practical, confident, affordable, best in Austin

I had an 'assault family violence' case. I met 5 lawyers before choosing to go with Florencia - all of them had 20-25+ years of experience and very good reputation. Money was not the most important factor for me if I found the right lawyer and so my inclination was to go with as good a lawyer as I ...can find. When I met Florencia, she not only did not have the length of experience or pedigree as others but also, her fees were a third of what the others were charging. Which got me thinking if I'd be making a mistake by going with a rookie. And was I proven wrong! Florencia was confident, honest and trustworthy and very capable from the get go. She convinced me that a good case is a good case is a good case - irrespective of the lawyer. And same goes for bad cases. So it was important to go with the one who would work for you rather than work for the money alone. She had extremely good rapport with the prosecutors as well as the court staff. This is something that's not evident in the lawyer evaluation process. She was able to move my dates around for a speedy resolution - something the more reputed lawyers wouldn't have done as they'd have many more "big fish" cases with them. Every lawyer said that I was looking at about a 6 month time frame to get the resolution. But Florencia told me upfront that my case was a straight dismissal and it wouldn't take longer than a month. It didn't. The other good thing was that she was honest. When some lawyers did advise that we will deny the facts of the case, I wasn't comfortable. But Florencia didn't want to do that. And even with the facts of the case, she was confident that we would get it dismissed. Since she was so confident with all aspect of the case, I had the peace of mind that I was in safe hands and didn't have to lose sleep over the impending result. She was also honest money-wise and even after telling her that other lawyers were charging thrice her price and that I was willing to pay that, she did not increase her fees. She did not want to charge different rates to different people for the same work, just because someone came in a luxury car vs. average one. This was in stark contrast to the so called 'reputed' lawyers - one of whom went to the extent of telling me that until i had paid up all the fees, they wouldn't get the case dismissed. So it was refreshing to see Florencia who was not money-minded. That brings me to the age and client base. Because she is young, energetic and upcoming, she was far more concerned about ensuring that my case is dismissed. I am sure other lawyers would have got the same result but the mind share given to me by her was significant and she took a keen interest in ensuring that the case is dismissed in the shortest time. With other more established lawyers, I would have had to follow up to see how they'd speed things up. With Florencia, she followed up with me to update on how the process was moving. Overall, it was a great customer satisfaction experience. I highly recommend anyone seeking a criminal lawyer to talk to Florencia anyways - whether they go with her or not - before making the final decision. Good luck.
