Spencer J. Salcido

Benny Salcido was not forthcoming with information pertinent to my case, made my family wait days before receiving critical information to my case, and seemed unprepared and unprofessional in my two court hearings. I had to reach out multiple times before I could get information I needed. While I wai...ted in jail, he charged my parents exorbitant amounts of money while being functionally useless to me. Him and his office failed to email me necessary documents and caused a significant delay to my legal proceedings. I cannot in good conscious recommend the services of the Salcido law firm to anyone but my sworn enemies.

I think “Benny” was probably a good attorney at one point - now he’s a very selfish, dishonest attorney that doesn’t even pretend to care if you get a good defense. Also, when I called other attorneys, several told me to steer clear of Benny. I hope he gets the help he needs or changes career fields....

I’ve been waiting for 3 years for a response from Benny on what was a simple amendment to a divorce decree. Multiple messages left and emails without a response. No work done. A waste of $1500. A few months ago, To check the responsiveness as a new client, I completed their online form. The next da...y Chris returned my call. I came clean and explained that no would return my calls. He said he had no record of my calls and asked for the emails to Benny be forwarded to him. Guess what? No reponse from Chris either. If you need an attorney who will respond at all (it’s been 3 years), go find someone else.

I hired Benny (Spencer) Salcido in 2015/2016 to help with my DUI case. I was given a "refusal to blow into the breathalyzer" even though I did blow into the breathalyzer once, and it pulled a reading, but wasn't deemed satisfactory. Their was an obvious and clear abuse of police power that can be see...n from the dash-cam videos of my arrest. Not only did Benny (Spencer) not push to have the refusal to blow dropped, literally the only thing that he was able to "consult" for me was changing the community service requirements to wearing an ankle monitor instead. I'm not sure why community service would have ever been part of the agreement in the first place, if I can't drive, how am I supposed to get to community service? Benny (Spencer) frequently ignored my emails and phone calls for weeks at a time, and I was hardly ever updated on my case. He claimed he took it to the attorney general, but I honestly don't really believe that. So, after the $5,000 dollars I spent on Spencer, I still received an 18 month revocation of my license, an ankle monitor, fines like crazy, a drunk-driving course, and now that I have finally have my license back, I still have over a year with a breathalyzer on my car. For a first time DUI, where I didn't blow too much over the legal limit, this is ridiculous. If I hadn't hired Spencer, I probably could have negotiated the exact same outcome. To Spencer's credit, when I got the DUI I was frantic, and hired the first DUI attorney who would answer the phone, so that is on me for not doing my due diligence. I absolutely would not recommend hiring Spencer, especially if you have a unique case. If you want someone to just push you through the system and not truly fight for what is in the best interest of their client, then he is your guy.
