This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A happy ending for my family

After creatively and competently negotiating an expunction, Mr. Garcia stood by my daughter throughout the lengthy process and ensured that everything was taken care of. Finally, she has emerged with a clean record and is able to move forward with her life. I fully credit Mr. Garcia with this best ...of all possible outcomes, and I hold him in highest esteem as an attorney and a human being. Many many thanks, Gus!

Mr. Garcia really helped my family

Mr. Garcia was recommended to me when my daughter was arrested on a first-offense DWI charge. Soon after our initial phone conversation, he went to check on my daughter and to reassure her, which was a huge thing for us in these uncharted and very scary waters. Throughout the confusing and overwhel...ming legal process, he handled matters professionally and with genuine concern for my daughter, serving as our focal point of stability and help. He made himself available at any time to advise us, and he unfailingly answered our questions thoroughly and accurately. Best of all, he creatively worked with the judge to negotiate on my daughter's behalf. Make no mistake - there is no "free ride" in a matter such as this. But Mr. Garcia represented my daughter extremely well, and, after fulfilling the terms of her punishment, she will be able to go forth with a clean record and without damage to her career. I recommend Gus Garcia without reservation. As the saying goes,"The proof of the pudding is not in the eating but in the second helping." When it comes time to work through the process of having my daughter's record expunged, he's the attorney I'll engage.

An honest lawyer, pleasant surprise!

I have a low bar for lawyer integrity, and Gus completely changed that. He was honest, open and knowledgeable about all the options, very fair with his costs and payment terms. I think he actually cared about my case. He really went to bat for me. And got it done! I could not be happier wit...h his service. Was so grateful I even baked him a pie. I highly recommend this guy. If he's not the right attorney for your needs he freely makes recommendations. My previous experience with most lawyers is that they are just greedy-get-my-money types, with no real concern for justice and no interest in your personal situation. Not Gus. He's the real deal.

Holds your had with integrity and honesty

For me this was almost a life and death issue. Gus was honest but comforting. He even reduced my cost at the end of the deal on his own because he thought that i had gone thru enough.
