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.

Eduardo Solis is an excellent trustworthy, dedicated lawyer who cares about his clients and their cases.

In 1998 i was arrested and charged with capital murder. During my interregation i was coerced into signing a confession,of course the detectives used the threat of arresting my wife and placing my son with Child Protective Services if i didn't sign. I was held in the county jail with no bond. Mr. sol...is held a bond hearing and got me a very low bond and i was released. Mr. Solis later had a hearing to suppress the confession but the judge let it stand. Mr. solis worked on my case for about two years before it went to trial. During that time he hired a private investigator and a medical specialist to help with my case. During this whole time he always kept me posted on exactly what it is he was doing with my case. He went as far as getting the Mexican Consulate involved in my case and got them to help me with my legal expenses. He looked up and found anything and everything that could help with my case, It was amazing. When my case finally went to trial he did an amazing job in showing the jury how the confession was no good and found other people that had already had problems of that sort with the detective, he totally descredited him. During the trial it was three lawyers from the District Attorney's Office against Mr. Solis. The trial lasted five days and the jury deliberated for about 5 hours. Needless to say I was found not guilty on the capital murder charge. I still thank God everyday for having put Mr. Solis in my path. Just he thought of having been found guilty is still scary. It would have been automatic life in prison or the death penalty. I strongly, very strongly recommend Mr. Solis as a great, dedicated, honest, hard working attorney who will always give his best to defend you and your rights.
