Best Criminal Defense Attorney

When I came to Florencia, I was facing an uphill battle - a 2nd-degree felony in a very conservative, tough-on-crime county in Texas. In our initial meeting, she asked the tough questions that got to the heart of the matter to build a solid defense. I walked out of her office VERY glad Florencia was ...on my side. I was innocent of the charges, but with the criminal justice system being the way it is, I was greatly afraid I would be locked up for a long time. During this process, she was very responsive and prompt to my questions. I am grateful to say the charges were completely dismissed - no probation, deferred adjudication/prosecution, etc.. I owe this to her and her partners. I HIGHLY recommend Florencia Rueda to anyone seeking the best criminal defense.

The Real Deal

I’m in California and a background check from employer turned up a 20 yr old “open warrant” in Texas - Travis Co. For an old misdemeanor case that was hanging around. Ms. Rueda explained the results she would pursue to get a case dismissal and have the warrant recalled. Ms. Rueda proceeded to do exa...ctly what she told me. The results were completed promptly and completely. The fees were also fair and were exactly what she quoted. Ms. Rueda resolved the matter without me needing to travel to Texas numerous times for the hearings. She saved me money. I highly recommend her, she is a class act - professional, hard working legal advocate and kept her word to the letter. She has been refreshing and trustworthy in every aspect. Perfect. Truthful. No nonsense. Knowledgeable. An Attorney who tells you what she can do to help and does the same. Promptly and efficiently. I am not lying or exaggerating. I would use her services again.

All the experience you need!!!

I had a previous (dwi) conviction with a second (dwi) arrest with a child in the vehicle so it wasn’t looking to good for me to say the lease,after searching and googling the best lawyers in Austin she kept popping up, but nonetheless I made the mistake in scheduling an appointment with another lawye...r simply because of his age and experience after meeting with this lawyer the only words that came out of his mouth was that I was getting a Felony and that was spending the next 2 years of my life in jail. I couldn’t let this be the conclusion of my life, since I had blown below the legal limit so I couldn’t understand why the penalty would be so extremely and me being the sole provider of my household no one wants to hear that you’re gonna lose your house, your job and everything you have worked so hard for... The following day I made an appointment with Mrs. Rueda walking in nervously and expecting the same outcome, I explained to her my case and my situation and she instantly calmed my nerves and anxiety. She said that I wasn’t spending a day in jail and that there was NO WAY that I would be charge with a felony so I hired her on the spot!!!! She gave me the peace of mine me and my family needed. Her rates are completely reasonable and she works with you if you need to set up a payment plan. One year later and my case is closed she was able to drop a felony charge down to a misdemeanor and (ZERO) days spent in jail. She’s cool, calm and collective in the court room. You want a lawyer who’s gonna fight for you no matter what and that’s what she does, she’s completely REAL with you, she’s always professional and doesn’t sugarcoat anything she tells you how it is and I love that. HIRE HER don’t waste your time and money with someone else hey that peace of mind you deserve!!!

Highly recommended! Charges dismissed.

Florencia was able to get my charges completely dismissed in a quick and timely manner. I never stepped foot in a court room. I also got updates on my case daily via email and text. I am so thankful for her service.

A true life saver

I have consulted Florencia for my DWI. A hopeless case as anyone would have treated it. BAC twice the allowed limit that too in Travis county. She helped me out answering all my questions in a better perspective than others. This was my first DWI and I had no idea as to how to proceed. She helped me... plan, come up with ways and strategize on how to approach my case. She helped me get through this hurdle with a dismissal of DWI charge. I was then put on a two year deferred probation for obstruction of passage way which she even got it dismissed after a year. She is just amazing. She is always reachable, straight forward and very quick in responding back to you. She even reaches out to you via SMS when she is at court if possible. I could not have picked a better lawyer.
