The best

Upon facing a great deal of time wich was mistaken as a home invation with charges extending from false imprisonment, torcher,assalt etc... When i was only trying to buy some pot not knowing why things went really bad and i was only trying to defend myself from attaching drugdealers. After firing my... public defender and hiring manuel ramerez with his excelent prices and skill quickly took control and was able to get all bjt one charge dropped and inceased my chance of less prison time emensly. Deal was sighned because of a codepemdent snitchimg on us aout oir drig use and it being oit of control consuming very high ammounts of marijuana and other drugs. I am now clean today and libe a great healthy troubless life bc of the oppurrunity that my awesome lawyer manuel ramirez made possible for me to have a happy clean life as adult

Excellance....

Mr. Ramirez came thru for me when the COURTS failed me. I went in & tryed to get on calendar ASAP & the clerk scheduled me for 6 weeks away, so much for ASAP. They suspended my Licence for FTP! I presented the clerk with all my receipts of proof of payment & she didn't care & still scheduled me for 6... weeks out. Meanwhile, after hiring Mr. Ramirez, he went down to clerks office & got on me on calendar in 3 days! This is my 3rd case with Mr. Ramirez, each time he has gone above & beyond my expectations. His expertise in many fields has been accomodating to all my needs to me as well as family & friends. I would use him over & over again. (Let's hope, i wont have to though). Thank you Mr. Ramirez for all you've done & continue to do.

Recommendation

I was charged with 3 different felonies looking a maximum exposure of 7 years. Before I hired Mr. Ramirez, the DA offered me 3 years state prison time. Mr. Ramirez came in and right away I could tell he knew what he was doing. Mr. Ramirez did a great job in his cross-examinations at my prelim. He... contradicted the witnesses and officers statements making them look real bad. I thought he did a real good job, but the judge felt it was enough to proceed with the next phase. After seeing what he did at my prelim, I had enough confidence in him to go to trial. The one thing I liked most about Mr. Ramirez was he kept it real. He didn't sugar coat anything. I knew he had my back 100% whether I decided to go to trial or not, but at the same time he told me what I was looking at if we lost. My decision boiled down to if he was able to get me a good deal (since I was guilty of the crime) I would take it rather than leave my fate in the hands of 12 in the box. He ended up getting me a deal with the DA of 1 year local custody. But Mr. Ramirez also went out of his way to see what the judge was willing to do at my sentence. Me expecting to go into jail at my sentence, somehow Mr. Ramirez was able to get me a suspended sentence with 3 yrs probation. Now obviously everybody's cases are different, but the fact that he went out of his way for me showed me what kind of lawyer he really was. And i've had some horrible attorneys. He filed every motion possible relevant to my case and even a pitchess motion to get background info on the officers to see if there were any formal complaints filed on them. We bumped heads a few times, but at the end of the day I wouldn't have changed attorneys if I could have. I highly recommend him
