Absolutely the best

He's straight to the point. Took care of a felony charge and got it taken down to a misdemeanor. Over the past year Mr. Solis has fought for me to have the best outcome. I was on an ankle monitor and he was able to help me get to my grandmother funeral in Hawaii. I'm so glad he was available to hire.... I trusted the right man with my case.

ATF people

The ATF federal police arrested me and said I was taking guns to mexico illegally and made me confess. l was arrested , put in jail and was told I was going to be in prison for a long time. I hired Mr. Solis and he represented me in federal court. He told me the judge did not let them use my confes...sion because no rights were tole me when they aked me questions. And then we were going to trial and like two days before the trial the case was dismissed.

Best in town!

Mr. Solis is without a doubt the best attorney in town. I was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He delivered great results for me as he was able to get my charges dismissed, before even going to trial! Mr. Solis is extremely good at what he does. He is tough, intellig...ent and highly professional. Throughout the entire process Mr. Solis was always attentive and easily accessed, he kept me informed about the case at all times. I cannot thank him enough for helping my family and I through some of the most difficult times in our lives. Finding him was definitely the best thing that could happen to all of us. I have full trust in his capabilities and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent, dedicated, hard working attorney!

Case .. DISMISSED!

In two years, Mr Solis was able to get 3 felony (aggravated assault with a deadly weapon) charges for an erroneous arrest I had been battling for 7 years prior, dismissed. All counts. When I first retained Mr Solis , he asked what transpired and not only listened but heard the words I spoke . He beli...eved in me and his ability to win my case at a moment I was beyond feeling defeated. He never expressed doubt, kept me motivated to stay the course despite the slow judicial process and stayed in communication with me explaining legal jargon in simple terms I could understand without confusion. There was barely a time I could not reach him if he was not in court. His secretary was also available and in communication with me when he could not be. He often had my presence waived so I would not have to appear in court. If he said he would do anything he did. Mr Solis gave me the best gift of my life on my birthday last year when he had the judge sign a dismissal to my case giving me back my freedom to live a life without restriction. He is currently getting my record expunged and I could not be happier. I would highly recommend Mr Solis to anyone in need of representation. He is professional, efficient and will protect your interests. I could not have asked for a better lawyer. I forgot I even had multiple lawyers before him because he is hands down absolutely the best criminal defense attorney in El Paso, TX.

I lawyer that actually cares and will tell you how it is . .

I have hired Mr. Solis for a couple of cases now (Possession of Marj). In both cases not only was I given a great deal from the DA but ultimately Mr. Solis let me the decision maker. He would advise me of what he could or couldn't do, and what's typical in these kind of cases. Another nice thing i...s that he's actually pretty easy to get a hold of. I noticed that those TV lawyers you can barely get on the phone or you're talking to some legal assistant that doesn't know anything. If you do talk to his staff they are both friendly and knowledgeable. So if you're in a legal bind and are debating who to go with, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mr. Solis.
