Horrible Attorney

Was assigned as a court appointed attorney in late 2020. If you want a lawyer who fights for you. This guy is DEFINITELY not IT! I mean He doesn’t text back. UNLESS you bug him to death. Witch is really sad. Barley picks his phone up. Will NOT update you on court dates or settings. Nor does he care a...bout your case. He prob just looks at it the day of and pushes it to the side. He should be stripped of his license. If I was as care free on things as he is to his clients I would have filed complaint after complaint. His only Interest is himself and his motorcycle. He post on social media but will def look the other way if you need him. Horrible service. And he knows it. HIRE PROFESSIONAL HELP

John Doering

I was divorced in 2013. Imagine huge mistake choosing Olivo. He had received a 15? Minute cal from the friend of my ex wife explaining the entire situation to him and was adamant I was not guilty. Olivo said he would investigate the call and situation and took a 350.00 deposit. The next day he called... sad told me I had to go to court the day after. In my opinion he is a railroaded who has still not repaid me and cost me my life. Nothing my witchcraft practising ex said was true but in my opinion and in fact BNSF railroaded me. If your White stay away from the railroaded. Pay me Olivi

Continues to lie

Mr. Olivo you are lying. I retained a lawyer the day you were missing in action For my case. You did not negotiate any deals on my behalf. A lawyer saw me in the hallway broken down and uncontrollable crying. This was after the clerk called you while i stood there and you lied to her and said you wer...e not paid. You are a dishonorable person. Thats why you left el paso under a cloud of shame. Even though it was a 4 hour drive there and 4 hrs back i attended every hearing for over a year and you did nothing. You informed me of nothing. Thats why the lawyer recognized me because i came faithfully to each hearing. If you want to make amends do so by fixing this or forever bare the shame of you. If this is how you Soldiers serving i feel sorry for your regular clients

Divorce court

Mr. Olivo was a municipal judge when he handled my divorce case. I was sent to jail for 19 days for something i did not do and he let me rot in there even though he had a recorded call from my ex wifes friend that I was not guilty and was set up. I also paid Mr. Olivo 375.00 to start to follow up on ...the conversation. He basically did not question anything my ex wifes attorney did or why the police did not enforce the restraining order. The so called trial was a joke and i want my 375.00 back.

Mr. Doering, I'm sorry you were not satisfied with my legal services. It may have to do with the fact that I did not represent you on your criminal matter. I only represented you on the divorce, which was finalized in your favor in July 2013. Your criminal case wasn't resolved until June 2016. These two cases are completely unrelated. You may recall that you were appointed an attorney for your criminal case and any time you spent in jail was due to the fact that you were unable to post bond.
