5 STAR

Candy was great, she helped me with what I thought was a very simple matter, little did I know the end result could have had some serious consequences with work. She was thoughtful of my unique situation and was able to adapt and adjust to get me a favorable outcome.

Thanks Candy Marrufo!

Candy is a very detail oriented, skilled and a passionate criminal lawyer. My case was pretty stressful, it involved me not going home for a while. She was always quick to respond with any questions or concerns I had. She had my charge dropped and protection order dismissed. She also helped me wi...th communicating with the police department when it came to recovering my property. She goes the extra mile. I'm back home and back to normal thanks to her! Thanks Candy!

Candy Marrufo

Candy made me feel comfortable in a very uncomfortable situation. She always let me know when and where I needed to be. My case wasn't simple, but with Ms. Marrufo's guidance the process was painless. Months after my trial I ran into a problem renting a home. A charge showed up on my background check.... Candy personally messaged the land lord to clear up that the charges had been dropped and gave me a character reference. Not only would I recommend her, but she is the only lawyer i would ever use.

Great Lawyer!! Great Service

She was very helpful and attentive to my case. I felt she did everything she could do to help me, and I was very happy with her service. She kept me informed on what was going on, and what to expect throughout the entire process.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
