I am a English/Spanish speaking attorney that always fights for my clients, whether it is fighting against the prosecution in a criminal defense matter or battling against the auto insurance companies holding out on your fair accident settlement. Our firm will fight for you.
Criminal & Immigration
Our firm does not back down against a fight against the District Attorney's office, US Attorney's office, or Immigration authorities (ICE). We do what is best for our client, whether its through defending my client's rights through suppression motions or the right to be tried by a jury or the right to be sentenced fairly--I'm relentless. I won't let you plead to a charge that is going to make you deportable or inadmissible--you got to fight your case or face deporation. Hiring an immigration attorney after you are on probation is worthless and a waste of money; tackle the issues in criminal court in order to get the best result.
I'm not one of the actors you see on tv; I don't yell at the judges or have fits with the DAs to get what my client needs; I have a reputation to uphold and at the end of the day, that carries a lot of weight with judges and prosecutors. I've mastered camoflouging, spinning and diluting the bad facts from every type of case--facts don't disappear, so I present them in a different light. Don't take my word--please check out the prior cases I have handled. I recommend you review cases of all the attorneys you consider employing.
Call my office for a consultation. May you have a blessed 2017.

My family is together in the US because of Juan
I met Juan when he answered a Craig’s list ad to sublet my house for two months while I was to be out of the country. He didn’t end up staying at my place, but in our short meeting together I learned two important things. First, that he was an immigration lawyer. Second, and more importantly, that...
