They did a great job

When this first happened I didnt know what to think. All I know is that I was scared. I’m a father of three and the only one bringing money into my house I knew for dang sure jail was not an option for me. I was stressed and scared and honestly didn’t know what I was going to do until I found ...this law firm. The Cespedes Law Firm came through when I needed it most. I was dealing with a Felony DUI charge and I knew that jail was hanging over my head. From the jump, they took my situation seriously and understood what was on the line for me and my family. They didnt baby me or sugarcoat anything they were just real with me. The firm and their team handled business and helped me get my license back so I could keep working. Their team was always on point. Every time I called, they answered my questions and never made me feel like I was annoying them, even when I was stressing. Being able to take care of most things over the phone helped a lot since I couldn’t afford to miss work. I know I wasn’t the easiest client, but they stayed patient and had my back the entire time. I’ll always be grateful for what they did for me and my kids. This firm really saved my future, thank you once again!

Thank you Lawyer

Attorney Armando Cespedes is really that guy. I was dealing with a domestic violence case over a BS argument with my girlfriend. Straight lies and blown way out of proportion. He took my case seriously from the start. Him and his team stayed on it, broke everything down, and got the entire case dis...missed. The best part was I was able to handle everything over the phone without wasting time. From the first call he made me feel comfortable and confident about my situation. His team was always there whenever I needed them and never made me feel like I was bothering them. I know I was probably a tough client but they stayed solid the whole way through. Real professionals and real people. Best decision I made. Thank you for coming through for me.

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.

Help me Resolve my Problem

One of the most difficult things to do when you get arrested for a DUI is finding the right attorney. There are so many law firms that charge these crazy prices but honestly do nothing for you. I called Mr. Cespedes around 9pm and was surprised that he answered. He gave me a thorough consultati...on and worked with me when it came to money since I just spent a lot of money on taking my car out of the tow yard. He help save my license and kept me out of jail. He was very respectful and simply just cared to listen to what I had to say. Thank you very much for walking me through this case. Shout out from Bakersfield !!

Excellent Criminal Attorney

10/10 service What we liked about the service is that they are always available and we never felt alone. They are punctual and pay attention to every detail in the case. My son was facing his first criminal charge and we did not know what to do until we called this firm. Thank you everyone at the ...firm!
