Goes Above And Beyond!

To anyone contemplating retaining Nigel Villanueva don't hesitate for a second. Thank you for the excellent and professional job that you did on my behalf of my son. Nigel is honest and straightforward, tells it like it is- which you don’t find very often in an attorney. He went above and beyond for ...our family and I can’t thank him enough. If I could give him 10 stars I would!

I was referred to Nigel for a difficult restraining order case and hired him on the spot. I was looking for an attorney with experience, intelligence, and tenacity - I was also looking to keep my costs down. Nigel fitted the bill. He gave me solid advice and clearly understands not just the law, but ...also how the L.A. County Court system works. He took the time to understand my situation and deliver a good result. I hope I never need a defense attorney or another RO, but I wouldn't hesitate to rehire Nigel should the need arise.

  • 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.
