Outstanding Customer Service

I hired this law firm for my DUI case, and they were able to get me an amazing result by getting my DUI reduced to a wet reckless. I am extremely grateful for everything they did for me. My paralegal, Ana Garcia, was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and always there to assist me throughout the proce...ss. Attorney Armando Cespedes also did an amazing job and truly cares about his clients. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and the service I received. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone looking for a team that genuinely cares and works hard for their clients!

#1 paralegal

Ana was really on top of my case. With giving me a better understanding of things I wouldn’t know. She was also really engaged with me on giving me updates and information as soon as anything came up.

Armando and Ana made my situation easier.

I can’t say enough good things about Armando and his paralegal, Ana. I was nervous about my DUI case, but they made me feel comfortable throughout the process. Armando is hardworking, strategic, and keeps it real with you. I’m grateful he was able to get my DUI reduced to a wet reckless. If you’re... facing a situation that makes you feel like the world is against you, I’d choose Armando and Ana every time.

Outstanding service!

Hiring Armando Cespedes was one of the best decisions I made. I had the pleasure of working with his paralegal, Ana, who was wonderful throughout the entire process. She communicated clearly, answered all of my questions, and kept me informed every step of the way. I truly appreciated how responsive ...and helpful she was. Their prices are also very reasonable. I highly recommend Armando Cespedes and his team!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
