If you are expecting someone to communicate with you and provide an accounting , this is not the attorney you want to hire. When we first hired Mr. Salcido he was very communicative. Meeting Mr. Salcido on a weekend, paying him a 6 figure check without a written contract was a BIG MISTAKE! I emplo...yed Mr. Salcido in October of 2011 for a criminal case in Long Beach California. We requested the contract from him no less then 10 times, we requested an accounting of our money no less then 15 times all with NO RESPONSE OR A RESPONSE OF I WILL GET THAT TO YOU SHORTLY. AS OF 2/15/2015 STILL NO ACCOUNTING. Filed a formal complaint with the California State Bar and investigator was assigned and on 3/16/2015 we finally received an accounting with information that doesn't even match our case....we are not satisfied and plan to continue with our complaint.
