5 Stars!

I was referred to Mr. Estrada after receiving a DWI. We spoke on the phone and met the very next day to discuss a plan of action. From day one Mr. Estrada was helpful, insightful, and prompt to respond to any questions I had. Mr. Estrada fought for my acceptance into the Pre-Trial Intervention progra...m, which I successfully completed for a dismissal. I put my full faith and trust in Mr. Estrada, and you can too.

Outstanding

Attorney Richard Estrada was appointed to my case for a motion to revoke on a stacked DUI case that had been going on for almost 5 years. There was a lot of history there was so much info he needed to be caught up on. He listened to every thing I had to say Stopped me on things that could not be chan...ge focusing on the issue at hand we were in court for about five hours it was a long long day and not once did Mr. Estrada seem put out or bothered by everything that was being thrown at him. He never gave up he laid out my option and then fought for what I wanted not for what he though was best but listened to me and fought what I needed to happen. He is an honest, strait forward gentleman who went above and beyond my expectations in the courtroom. I went from 180 days in jail reduced to 30 days with 38 days of back time. Mr Estrada is the attorney you want on your side when your backs up against the wall.

Complete and Thoughtful Representation

Richard was recommended to me by a friend of mine that had a similar case (DWI). After my first sit down, I knew he was the man I wanted for my representation. He was clear from the get go on our best course of action but offered other alternatives. He was not pushy as to the plan and he provided tho...rough information as to the pros/cons of each plan. I am glad I followed his advice as I am a few weeks from being completely in the clear. It's important to remember that your lawyer can only do so much. It also takes effort and honesty on your end. If you are willing to work at it, don't lie about important matters, and if you listen to Richard, I am certain you will find yourself in a much better place than before. He is clever, persistent, and imaginative. He will have your back. I wouldn't change a single thing about my entire experience.

DWI

Great lawyer!! Got my DWI dropped to a lesser charge. Very helpful! Communication was excellent! Highly recommend!

Posted by Bianca | March 15, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Amazing! DWI lowered

This lawyer was a blessing! I didn’t think my DWI could be lowered because of my circumstances and he reduced it to a lower charge. He truly cares about his clients and he’s easy to talk to and super nice!
