Thank you Lawyer

I am very thankful to Attorney Armando Cespedes and his amazing team for everything they did for me. I was accused of domestic violence, and this was one of the most stressful and scary times of my life. From the beginning, Armando took my case seriously and explained everything to me in a way I coul...d understand. Because of his hard work and experience, the charges against me were dismissed. This changed my life. Not only do I not have a criminal record, but this situation will also not affect me for immigration purposes. Thanks to his help, I can now continue with my immigration petition and move forward with my goal of becoming a resident in this country. I also want to thank the paralegals Karla and Ana. They were always available when I had questions or needed updates. They were kind, patient, and made me feel supported the entire time. What meant a lot to me was that they truly cared about my situation. They made the representation very affordable and even offered a payment plan when I needed it most. I never felt judged or ignored. I highly recommend Attorney Armando Cespedes and his team to anyone who needs strong legal representation. They are professional, honest, and truly fight for their clients.

An attorney who cares

I was highly recommended to this attorney. I was told that he offered very competitive rates but most importantly I was told that he delivers hard working honest results. I've had a bad experience in the past dealing with attorneys. I wasn't sure if he was going to be like the rest of them or i...f he was actually going to help me fight this case. I am a reasonable person and all I wanted was for someone to have the court understand my side of the story. I understand that I deserved that Felony DUI for injuring the other driver but at the same time I didn't want to go to prison and lose everything I ever worked for. This attorney fought for me and negotiated like the skilled advocate that he is. My outcome was way better than I could have imagined and today I am a free man that was able to move one with his life. Thank you for all your hard work and for actually caring about my livelihood, your the man!!

Gracias Abogado

Recibi un DUI en Los Angeles. Estaba muy asustado, pero el abogado Armando Cespedes me ayudo en la corte. El se presento en corte sin que yo fuera. El lucho por mi caso y me quito los cargos. Es un muy buen abogado con compasion que realmente se preocupo por mi buen estar.

He cares and did everything possible to help me resolve my case. I was worried about my hit and run and DUI case. Not only did he go to court and got my case dismissed he also made sure I understood what was going on every step of the way. Thank you Mr. Armando. Él se preocupa e hizo todo lo posi...ble para ayudarme a resolver mi caso. Estaba preocupado por mi caso de atropello y fuga y DUI. No sólo fue a la corte y consiguió que mi caso fuera desestimado, sino que también se aseguró de que yo entendiera lo que estaba pasando en cada paso del camino. Gracias señor Armando

Second DUI

Armando cespedes went above and beyond for my case. I was very close to getting my license revoked as I am under the age of 21 and received my second DUI. I’m very grateful because DoorDash is my main source of income and without a drivers license I wouldn’t be able to work to pay my bills. Armando w...asn’t just concerned about winning the case but he was concerned about me as a person and how this could affect my future. I am very grateful for the services that Armando cespedes provided.

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.
