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.

Don't go to any one else!

Florencia delivers! She is amazing and really knows what she is doing. She seems very well connected in the legal community which is a bonus. The crappy Atty I had before her tried to scare me with my charges of 60 years and extort more money out of me because of this fear! Not Florencia she gave me ...a flat fee (which was half of my other atty) and helped me with a payment plan. She was honest and doesn't beat around the bush, she will tell you exactly how it is. After a couple months of reset hearings Florencia was able to get my 60 years dismissed with no probation,adjudication, fees or courts costs. Don't trust your freedom to anyone else!

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.

WASTING YOUR VALUBLE TIME AND MONEY IF YOU DON'T GO WITH THE "FLO"

I'M 50 YEARS OLD, AND LET'S JUST SAY I'VE BEEN IN MORE THAN ONE SCRAPE WITH THE LAW DURING THAT TIME. I'VE HAD SEVERAL LAWYERS (OK, ALL OF THEM) THAT WERE JUST A BUNCH OF GOOD OL' BOY, SELF SERVING, "HEY JUDGE LET'S PLAY GOLF AT MY CLUB NEXT WEEK" A- - HOLES. IF YOU ARE READING THIS, STOP YOUR SEARCH...! FLORENCIA IS THE OPPOSITE OF EVERY LAWYER JOKE YOU HAVE EVER HEARD AND WILL RETURN YOUR CALLS IMMEDIATLY (OR JUST ANSWEWR THE PHONE...WHAT A CONCEPT THERE???). SHE TOLD ME AND I BELIEVE EVERY WORD SHE SAYS, THAT IF SHE EVER TURNS INTO THE ATYPICAL LAWYER, SHE'LL QUIT. SHE WANTS TO AND DOES BRING RESPECT BACK TO HER PROFFESSION. THANKS AGAIN, (AGAIN) KEVIN
