Business Organization and Tax nightmare.

Thank you Ed for your help saving my business. It was a nightmare almost losing my family business of 50 years due to misfiled business and tax forms. Mr. Diaz dealt with the city and fought them in court when they refused to settle and wanted me ro pay a 300k lien for alleged code violations. Mr. ...Diaz quickly files for an extension, got a hearing in front of a great judge who actually got angry at the city of san diego for not correctly filing their own paperwork! Ed promptly asked that the case be rhrown out that same day. (He yelled it). and although the kudge denied that, Ed continue to argue and the judge forced the city to mediate. At mediation a different , very young lawyer from the city showed up not really knwong how to handle Mr. Diaz's arguments. It was as if the city knew it screwed up so they sent in a young lawyer to take the loss. After mediation., Mr. Diaz filed court papers and actually got the full lien extinguished, the full 300k! I will continue to use,Mr. Diaz for any legal problems and feel so relieved that this big problem is done before the new year. Its like a big weight lifted from my chest. It feels great to focus on my business again and to make money and help people. Thank you Ed.

Gold value.

a good attorney is worth her/his weight in gold. Mr. Diaz is that attorney. I was injured in a store and Mr. Diaz sued them because they were denying they were responsible. I had serious hip injuries. Mr. Diaz made them pay my medical bills, lost work, and also gave me a sum of money that will he...lp me out in the future because the injury caused disability and I won't be able to do the things I used to love doing. He is aggressive. I wish it didn't take so long to finish the case 3 years. but Mr. Diaz said that in if I wanted what I deserved , full compensation, the store was going to put up a fight. A fight they did put up, but Mr. Diaz was their fighting too. He's a good attorney. Sometimes too busy :], but he takes care of his clients in his time.

Thank you Joe. I understand cases do take a long time to prosecute, but if you want the best outcome, we must be patient. The Insurance companies as well as opposing attorneys know that people want their case done quick, so they try to fight and litigate you in order to force you to settle for less. Thank you for your review and take care buddy.

Waste of Money and TIME

I hired Edgar Diaz to represent me in a restraining order case. Unfortunately, he was extremely unresponsive and delayed progress for months. He rarely reached out, and when he did, he did not listen to my concerns or the timeline of events I was experiencing. He submitted incorrect information to... the courts, even after sending drafts to me for approval, which I had to spend hours correcting. If he had addressed my concerns or taken the time to understand the case, many of the unnecessary delays and stress could have been avoided. He also allowed the opposing party to request multiple extensions without objection, further prolonging the process. Because of these issues, I terminated his services and hired a new attorney. Within TWO months, the case was handled correctly: the temporary restraining order against me was removed, and one was properly placed against the woman who had been harassing me. I cannot recommend Mr. Diaz based on my experience. His lack of communication, attention to detail, and follow-through created significant delays in an extremely sensitive legal matter.

Thank you for your review and we are aware of your concerns. As previously stated, your case had some issues regarding the courts not being able to accommodate your personal calendar. Unfortunately, this specific court could not set a trial and/or hearing on the dates when you were available. We understand you could not attend hearings on specific days of the week, however the court has it's set rules of procedures, and they cannot accommodate everyone's specific calendar. We are happy to hear that the restraining order issued against you was resolved.
