EXCEPTIONAL ATTORNEY
Mr. Requejo is an outstanding criminal defense attorney. He handled my dad’s criminal case in a timely manner demonstrating exceptional representation and dedication to the client’s best interest. I will admit I usually don’t trust attorneys because most are corrupt but I must say Mr. Requejo demons...
