Relationship: Worked for lawyer
"AVVO suggested that I endorse this lawyer as a peer. Unfortunately, due to the lack of honesty, ethics, and professionalism I experienced during my brief experience with Mr. Granda, I am unable to endorse this lawyer. I’m sure we will continue to cross paths since we both work near each other in civil litigation, and hopefully I have a different experience with Granda and his firm in the future that will change my opinion."
