Luis Santiago Valencia

I first hired Lou to represent my mother in a battery charge. He got her reduced time. PD plea bargain was 6-10years and Lou got her 16months. He alsorepresented me on a few occasions such as a speeding ticket, a driving on a suspended license and a DUI. Lou went above and beyond traveling to Inyo ...County. He got me house arrest on a 3rd DUI offense. In which I was still able to work and provide for my family. I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation. Lou is not only professional and sharply dressed. He's a man with integrity and great personality.

My father was accused of worker's comp fraud. My father had another attorney who turned in all his financials and got him a deal for a misdemeanor and $160,000. In restitution, my dad thought he was going to lose his house, car, retirement.... well for financial reasons we consulted with Luis. He ...took the case and I must admit he dragged the case along for almost one year, it was hell but he would always assure us that the previous attorney did not get all the facts and someone was holding out. Exactly as he said a month before the trial, the prior worker's comp attorney handed over the file, only after we went to the State Bar and complained. There it was a Deposition of the doctor's no one had ever handed over. My father was offered $60,000 in restitution and 400 hours of Community Service. Luis told us to believe in him. We went to trial on what seemed an impossible case. Luis told us don't get to excited the DA will have good days and bad days, so will we. After 8 days..... hung jury 10 not guilty 2 guilty. wow. The D.A, even shook Luis hand and said, "well, at least I know you worked for it." Would I recommend Luis, Yes!!!!! the guy went to UCLA, was a Marine, is straight forward and would always say, " whatever it is I promise not to lie to you, we will deal with it together." and believe me he is reasonably priced. Why am I writing the review, because it was my dad and I am overwhelmed by the relief and promised I would thank Luis in anyway once my family held each other without this burden killing us for almost two years.
