Roberto Puentes, knowledgeable, personable, networker

Roberto recently represented me in a domestic battery charge. Using his knowledge and networking skills, he got the charge reduced to disturbing the peace therefore protecting my second amendment rights. Throughout the entire process, he kept me informed, reassured me when I had fears, listened to m...y ideas and input, kept me informed, and told me the truth. Roberto knows the local system and is known and respected therefore reinforcing his use of networking skills. Besides being a top-notch attorney, Roberto is just a very nice man and a pleasure to be around. I am so happy and appreciative that he agreed to represent me. He is highly recommended!

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.
