This guy is a joke
Nick is a classic drain & hang lawyer. He does not care about the outcome of your case, all he cares about is money.
Posted by Brett | June 26, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes
Very expensive with little representation
Reno was the lawyer assigned to me, done very little and wanted to take credit for my case being dismissed when he basically done very little. I would not recommend anyone hiring this law firm. Very expensive for very little representation!

Watch out the in take manager John. Record any call to this office.
When you call this law office, you will run into Case manager called. Jon Padilla or John. Before you can talk to attorney. I suggests you audio record your call with him because he will exam your wealth and flip, rip and twist you after that. In my case, he said lawyer fees is $7,000 after I spoken...
