Lack of communication

Andres did nothing in the case of my son. He took over the case from Ashely Whitham, who was doing a terrible job and Andres continued on with it. He scared my son so bad that he took a plea deal that he never should have taken just so Andres did not have to work to help my son with his case. Do no...t use Andres if you want to be treated fairly and have a positive outcome to your case. Do not use Andres if you do not have the money to pay him because money is his main motivation, if you do not have any, you lose. Do not use if you expect him not to work with the prosecuting attorney to throw the book at you. Does not keep your best interests to heart will only use you to further his career. Do not use unless you want to lose your case.

Replied last June 03, 2024

Both me and esteemed co-counsel worked diligently on this case as court appointed counsel and, like we do with all our clients, communicated professionally and courteously with the client. We of course can only imagine the difficulty for family members in criminal cases and we communicate diligently and respectfully with parents as well. Naturally, we cannot change facts nor ignore evidence, despite some desires to do so. Also, with all cases, we cannot communicate with people other than clients despite the strong wishes of others. Any plea of guilty can only be accepted after a person voluntarily enters such an agreement and we are diligent in making sure every client is keenly aware of this requirement. We have tried for several months to thoroughly explain this process to this reviewer and, although that effort is unsuccessfull do to reasons out of our control, we remain steadfast that the client was properly prepared for his decision, which is not the result of any “threats.”

Great results!!!

I was a client of Andres Guevara & I would like to take this opportunity to say what an outstanding job he did for me on my drug case. This was a very stressful time for me & my family & Andres guided us through the entire process, displaying nothing but great expertise, professionalism & support. Pr...icilla, his paralegal, is also a wonderful asset to the practice! I highly recommend this law firm!

This man is the best!

This man is the best! He not only got me a win, but he always kept me informed, he was easy to talk to has a great sense of humor and is very knowledgeable! He is very professional and very well spoken in court, but he also has a real person feel to him. I trusted this man as he trusted me we went in...to my case as a team which made me feel confident and we accomplished what we both wanted. I would recommend him to anybody looking for a experienced lawyer. Andres I thank you for all you did for me and so does my family!

Recomend Andres Without Reservation

I was involved in a State Criminal Conspiracy drug case. I interviewed several attorneys and finally came to choose Andres and another to represent me in this matter. I am writing this review from my home rather than a jail cell because of that decision. Andres stood by my side throughout the whol...e matter not only offering emotional support but also informing me on what may happen if the tides turn in one direction or another. Andres was reachable by email, text as well as by phone at all times of the day and even got out of bed to accompany me to the Sherriff’s office for indictment. Andres is not only well versed on the law but also how to dig into your past and ascertain is this person a criminal or a someone who has committed a crime and does not deserve the full brunt of the justice system. He took me under his protective umbrella and showed me his professionalism and understanding. He calmed me so that I could behave and think rationally and notified me when I did well or poorly. For every question I had he had several answers and several outcomes. I found interactions with him both informative and relaxing. Andres is loyal, practical, patient, genuine and caring. This was the hardest ordeal that I had to experience in my life thus far and it would have been more infinitely more difficult without him by my side. Andres is worth much more than I paid him to save my life not only does he achieve he also cares. I put my faith in his abilities whole heartedly and recommend him without reservation.
