I had a Warrant out for my arrest when I called Eddie Damas. He helped me get my case dismissed and I have Eddie Damas to thank. So, if you need an attorney to get you out of your mess, then look no further, Call Eddie Damas….

Quick Release From Jail

If you need a lawyer, I highly recommend you call Mr. Edward Damas. When I was arrested, I had no idea that someone outside of jail was working diligently to set me free in the shortest time possible. After long hours of incarceration and surviving on a diet of peanut sandwiches for two days, Mr. Dam...as came to the rescue. He managed to convince the D.A. to dismiss the charges, and that allowed me to walk free me from jail in an expedited manner. Call Mr. Damas if you need legal assistance. You will be glad you called someone who has the legal muscle to resolve your predicament and bring back your peace of mind.

1.2 Million Dollar Bail!

I was in a tuff situation when I decided to hire Eddie. My charges were absurd and my bail ridiculous (1.2 million). 3 months later, he got me time served (2 months jail time) and probation. How he did it? I don’t know, I’m still in awe... Eddie fights for u frm da day u hire him till it’s all over. ...Anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney, should look no further then Eddie Damas. He’s a 5 star Attorney... Thank you Eddie for helping me.

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.
