Absolutely amazing!

When I was arrested for a DWI this past July, I was convinced it was the end of the world. As an aspiring teacher, I knew this would be a huge red flag to any school district and would be detrimental to securing a teaching position. First, I met with an attorney from the law firm that handled my per...sonal bail, I left their office feeling worse than when I went in. To them, I was just another dollar sign. The whole meeting was impersonal, sterile, and scripted. I went home and did a little research. I went to the AVVO website and found dozens of positive reviews for Florencia Rueda. I decided to set up an appointment, and am so glad I did. Flo is a down to earth, compassionate, straight-forward lawyer, who wants to win! She was always easy to get in touch with, easy to talk to, and always kept me informed on the developments of my case. With Flo on my side, I could breathe, I slept better at night, and had hope that I would get past this and continue down my career path. As of Dec. 4, my case was dismissed! Flo was such a blessing, and I will be forever grateful for her. If you need a lawyer, look no further.

A weight off my shoulders

Florencia was incredibly responsive in my case and was thankfully able to get my charges reduced. She always got back to me whenever I had any questions regarding the case within 24 hours and made the entire process much less painless.

OUTSTANDING! CASE DISMISSED!!

Let me start off by saying that you cannot go wrong with Florencia as your counsel. I hired Florencia to represent me after being arrested for a DWI. From the moment I set foot in her office, she put my mind at ease. She explained the whole process to me from beginning to end, as well as what to expe...ct, and I felt very confident that I would be highly satisfied with her work. Florencia proved me right! She and her partner Duke Hildreth are an incredible team. They are not only extremely knowledgeable, but are fearless, steadfast warriors who will fight for the best outcome! My case was DISMISSED and I am so relieved to put it behind me! Incredibly grateful for these two!! Highly highly recommended!!!!

Assault Case

I could not have been happier with my experience with Florencia. I went into her office and she made me feel like the world was, in fact, not going to end because I had an assault charge. I can't imagine finding anyone more patient or that made me feel more comfortable. She made it very clear that if... I hired her, it was her job to do the worrying, I really don't know what more you could hope for. She is very realistic with what is going to happen and what will be required of you. After I left the office I got a call half an hour later saying my case had been dropped. WOW! What a relief. I am so grateful that she made time for me on her lunch hour and I did not meet with someone else first. I would recommend her to anyone I know.

DWI -> Deferred Adjudication

I met with three attorneys after I was arrested for a DWI. Florencia was the first that I met with, and I was ready to sign with her that day. But, I wanted to make sure I did my due-diligence so I still met two more. After wasting more time doing that, I finally got the ball rolling with Florencia. ... She explained the entire process from start to finish, and did not try to "sell" me on her services. I could not be happier, she got me a deferred adjudication!
