Very knowledgeable and honest.

I was charged with my 1st DUI and I thought I could manage it on my own. Now I'm 3 months into it and so far it's very bad. I decided to consult with an attorney. Given my finances, it seemed very unlikely I could retain one not to mention,I didn't even know if I needed one. Maria to the time to hear... me out,look up my case and explained things to me, a way I understood. She was absolutely wonderful, non judgemental and very honest. Most attorneys will take your $$ and know you're going to lose anyway. Not her she told me how the cow ate the cabbage..TRUTH. Not what I wanted to hear but very thankful for her advice. I highly recommend Maria Padilla if you want HONESTY.

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.
