Angelica B. Carreon-Beltran

Overall I was pleased with her representation. I must admit I do appreciate the honesty and reality check that I was given going into this case. I was able to be more realistic with my expectations as she did a good job explaining what the law requires as opposed to what I wanted to hear. I was ab...le to call the office and ask whatever questions I had, if her staff did not know the answer off hand, I was able to get an answer usually by the next day. I felt she did care about my case and was able to relate to my situation. She did an excellent job in court and was ready to fire back when it was needed. She maintained her professionalism throughout the case, was well prepared, and really fought for my best interests. I was pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend her and seek out her services again. As far as charges were concerned I was told at the beginning that this would be a costly battle and planned accordingly.

As a referenced attorney, I thought it was going to be a top notch representation and have a great impact on winning the case. However, don't get me wrong she is a very knowledgeable attorney but limited on her communication. Eventually, I presented all necessary documentation, sent helpful informa...tion electronically, in person, or over the phone to her paralegal to communicate with Mrs. Carreon about my case. The paralegal would let me know that that type of information was not going to be brought up or looked at in court or anything prior to the incident. It turns out the information I did state to her paralegal was eventually brought up and questions were asked prior the incident. I knew off the bat that the information I stated was important and lost the case. Knowing that this was a lost cause and the unjust judge's ruling, it was a bit discouraging and upsetting. In the rate, when it came to the fees, Mrs. Carreon asked for a lump sum up front and you would think that that x amount was going to be the cost for everything. Nope, not at all, I was slammed with fees left and right totaling an outrages amount. Why can't they be up front with you before you deposit that lump sum they request? I know this is a lawyer's scam tactic where they request an x amount and blind side you with further fees. If I would of known the amount I was totally charged, I would of looked as where for a top notch service. Overall, I am upset on the outcome of the case and this will be the first and last time I recruit her as my attorney.
