I endorse this lawyer. This is an amazing lawyer who is very compassionate and sticks by his beliefs. He has stood up to some bullies in his defense for the underdog.

I have worked with Mr. Valencia on several occasions and he was always the go-to guy when questions of law came up and we needed someone to make a hard-hitting closing argument. He is a fighter and someone I would want in my corner in any case in court. I endorse this lawyer.
