Writing this review is hard for me. Thinking about my son's case brings to mind alot of tough memories and emotions with it. I hired her for my 16 yr old son who was facing being charged as an adult for very serious charges that included prison time. But thanks to Belen the case never even got that f...ar. It started when The police went to his school, put my son in handcuffs, and took him downtown to question him, take DNA, fingerprints ect all without my knowledge. I had no idea what was going on. My son told them he will remain silent and wants his lawyer. Then let him go home. That's when I called Belen. Immediately upon meeting her she eased alot of our anxiety. She was compasionate, understanding, yet firm, straight forward, smart, tough lawyer, honest with what we were facing, she had an action plan and explained every step to us. We never felt rushed although she was extremely busy, She held my hand when I broke down crying. She truly, truly cares about children and her clients, I could feel it, see it in her eyes and when she talked to my son she put him at ease and let him know what to expect and that she would be there every step of the way. And she was! Literally. The detective on the case called Belen and told her they have a warrant for his arrest. Which Belen uncovered was in fact not true. They did not yet have a warrant. She advised us to self surrender him, which for a mom is heartwrenching to say the least but I trusted her 100%. She walked with us to the police station. She Stayed by his side and protected him. She made sure the detective taking him knew they better take care of him and respect his rights. And that he has a good lawyer behind him. Believe me she does not take any BS from anyone. They took him to the juvinile detention center on Durango to book him and press charges. They said he was gonna have 7 charges then dropped it to 3. I got a call the next morning from the center saying I can go get my son because they are waiting to press the charges due to waiting for more evidence to come back so we just sit and wait until that happens. A couple months went by and then we got the call from Belen. My heart sank. But she immediately said don't worry it's not bad news. She said they will not be filing any charges. Zero. My nightmare suddenly ended. I clearly had the best outcome possible. She changed my life dramatically. She saved my son. Not many people have touched me so deeply but Belen will always have a special place in my heart and I can't say enough about her. I want other parents to read this and know she is the right choice, everyone told me to just wait until they press charges and take a court appointed lawyer. But if you have a choice, know there is someone who will not only defend your child but she will do it with passion love in her heart. I chose her because I read other great reviews and her profile says she was a teacher and is familar with IEP's and I felt in my gut my she was who I needed. I called and she answered her phone herself. She was busy but still took the time to talk to me and set an appointment. Worth every penny. I honestly think she does not charge enough money for what she does...So Yes, she was the BEST decision I ever made. Thank you again Belen.

An absolute warrior in the court of law. If you are looking for an attorney who will communicate REAL information, effectively, and in a timely manner, Belen is your woman. I couldn't have chosen a better attorney to represent my case, I knew she was the right attorney from our first conversation. No...t only did she get the best possible outcome, Belen is a pleasure to work with. I am a straight shooter, and appreciate her honesty I received from the beginning. I live out of state and she was able to settle my case without an appearance! Incredible, Any time you are charged with a crime, wondering about the outcome, the "unknown", is an emotional roller coaster. Belen's hard work, knowledge of the system, and diversified with her contacts in the industry, never left the result hanging in the balance. She is an amazing attorney and i strongly recommend her.

I highly recommend belen if you’re in need of representation, she was always on time and made sure everything was completely understood, she made us feel comfortable with everything that was going on and would always listen to our concerns, and most importantly she made sure to have our case as a pri...ority at all times! I highly recommend her
