Very helpful

I have consulted with Jorge on various legal matters, including two criminal issues. On both criminal cases he was very thorough and took the time to clearly explain our options. I have also had the opportunity to watch him represent someone in a jury trial on an unrelated criminal case (I worked n...ear the courthouse). Very impressive!

Professionalism at its finest

I am very thankful to have found Mr. Vela in my time of need. First offense and was looking at a felony. He did what he needed to do to get my case dismissed and was able to do it without pushing me over the edge with stress. Very responsive and knows how to explain the process to someone like me who... doesn't know much about the law and what needs to be done to get the kind of results that you can agree with. This man was nothing short of a miracle for me and my case.

Jorge gave me hope

From the minute I walked into Jorge’s office I felt good. When we sat down and spoke about why I was there I was treated with the utmost attention and respect. I broke down crying a few times and Jorge was professional and very concerned about my situation. When I left his office I had other attor...neys to visit but I felt so good that I went home and knew that Jorge was my attorney. Jorge showed me emotion, a human element you do not find in some attorneys. I do not know how to really put into words what he has done for me. These past two years have been extremely rough for me. I have had my breakdowns and he has been there for me to inform me the laws, the fine print that we common citizens just do not know about. Jorge also talked to me like a man, he talked to me like a person and not a CASE! I feel that is very important. I never was called by a secretary about anything to do with my case. Jorge called me directly! Literally I could go on and on because this time in my life caused me so much loss and suffering and Jorge defended me and I am so grateful that I walked into his office two years ago. Jorge, thank you.
