My Criminal case dismissed.

I was with three(3) so called friends of mine over two years ago with out my knowledge they were carrying 58 pounds of marijuana. I bonded out and talked to my so called friends so they would admit to the truth and that is that I did not know the drugs were in the car. Guess what, they would NOT admi...t that I did not know the drugs were in the car. I started looking for lawyers on the internet and I hired one that claimed to be an expert in criminal law. He charged me $9,000.00 and that Lawyer promised me he would win the case for me. When we went to court, he told me that I needed to take a plea because if i did not i was going to prison. I told him I was innocent and he said I looked guilty on paper. I was very scared because I did not want to plead guilty for something i did not do. I talked to my step-father who lives out of town about my situation and he is the one that referred me to Mr. Ruben Ortiz. I spoke with Mr, Ortiz at his office and he was very understanding of my situation and he believed everything I said. He said to me that an innocent person should never plead guilty under any circumstances and that an innocent person must fight their case all the way to the end. I liked what he had to say to me and I decided to hire Mr. Ortiz to replace the other Attorney. Mr. Ortiz charged me only $3,500.00 to handle my case and he even gave me a payment plan. He filed a bunch of paperwork on my behalf to try and get the case dismissed for me. We went to many court dates and I met with Mr. Ortiz many many times at his office to talk about my case. After 11/2 years he was able to get my case dismissed. By the way my other three(3) so called friends all plead guilty and they NEVER helped me by telling the truth that I did not know anything about the drugs. I personally saw Mr. Ortiz argue the law and case in court and I can tell you that he knows what he is doing and in my opinion he will always be the BEST attorney in my eyes. I want to personally Thank you, Mr. Ortiz for believing in me and getting the case dismissed.

Very Good Lawyer

Ruben Ortiz is the best. He helped my dad with a federal case,he was facing to be deported since he is a resident he never gave up on him he was always polite, listen to our concerns and he explain everything easy to understand.

I highly recommend him

Best lawyer my A**!!!!

Hired this guy on my misdemeanor case because he was recommended lawyer of the year in What's Up magazine. Doesn't return calls, doesn't come to court on time, and only calls when he wants a payment. I ended up having to plea on trial day. Threatened to withdraw as my lawyer when I wanted a trial! Be...ware!

Class A misdemeanor

He got my case dismissed and all I had to do was a few community service hours. Recommended to get you out of trouble.
