This review is about my experience with the paralegal Lupe and with Victor Parra, who was the attorney on my case at the time. I understand that he has since passed away and won’t see this review, but I still feel it’s important to share what happened. I want to share my experience with the paral...egal who still works at this firm, as it continues to affect me years later. My case was handled by Victor Parra, and while Manuel Parra was not involved in my situation, the paralegal assigned to my case caused several serious issues. At one point, I received paperwork with names and details from someone else’s case mixed in with mine. I had to tell her that I did not know these people and this had nothing to do with me. When I called to point out another error after the documents had already been signed, the paralegal snapped at me and said, “Why wasn’t this brought up before we all got together and signed?”—even though the mistake was hers. I trusted them with my case and had back then, zero knowledge of how court cases worked and dealing with many emotional issues, I failed to understand my court order and trusted that they were taking care of me. In the end, it never got corrected. Another detail I want to mention is, this paralegal failed to include a very important detail on my court order, that I’m now having to go back to court to add in, pay for a new lawyer and go through this whole process again. These kinds of errors in family law have long-term consequences. I’m still dealing with the impact of this today. If you are considering using this firm, I strongly urge you to double-check every document if this paralegal is involved. While I understand the attorney was ultimately responsible for finalizing the documents, the paralegal I worked with made repeated errors and treated me dismissively when I tried to raise concerns. That experience shaped how I feel about working with this firm.

DWI , Assault

If you’re looking for an attorney to be there for you through and through stand by your side. This is not the attorney for you unfortunately. Not only did I barely have any contact with him regarding my cases. Most of the times that I did come into contact with his office is when when they were requ...esting payments. He always stuck in court I would barely get callbacks from him when I requested them . His assistants said I would need to pay to speak with him when he was busy .When I had a warrant out for my arrest his advice to me was to lay low and to avoid being arrested while he could try to do something for me. I had to leave work for a whole month and not only that he kept pushing my court dates back and I ended up getting picked up and it made me look even worse in front of the judge. He barely defended me in any of my court hearings he would have one statement and after that he would stay silent while the prosecutor had a whole list of things to say about me. Only reason I stuck with him as a lawyer was because I hired his brother initially. Unfortunately after his passing I was not able to get my money back they were going to keep it so I had no choice but to go with him and I regret it fully . He wanted me to sit in jail while I waited for him to fight my case which was practically beat and when I hired him to handle my other case he withdrew after I couldn’t not pay him because I was juggling bills after being released but I was still willing to make small payments. But before I could do so I wanted to speak with him and his assistants requested payment first before I could consult with him. Worst experience I’ve ever had with a paid attorney .

excellent service!

Manny Parra is an excellent attorney. He pays close attention to details and works hard to get satisfactory results for his clients! I will definitely use them again if need be. The entire process was pleasurable from calling office staff and setting up the initial appointment until the end results. ...I highly recommend Manny Parra (Parra Law) to anybody in need of an attorney, it was evident he is very knowledgeable in his profession and trustworthy.

Wouldn't trust anyone, but Parra Law

I had my criminal case dismissed, thanks to Manuel Parra. Mr. Parra was very attentive throughout my ordeal, very efficient and thorough in explaining every step of the way. He's extremely knowledgeable in criminal law and very passionate about his work. He always returned any calls I made to his o...ffice, after leaving a message with his super friendly assistants. Consultation was with the attorney himself and not an assistant; always a plus. I would highly recommend Mr. Parra to any family/friends in legal trouble.
