100% Would Recommend

I got into a minor physical altercation at work that escalated into getting felony charges filed against me. I almost lost my career because of everything that happened. If it wasn't for Mr. Valencia, I honestly believe I would have lost my case. I would 100% recommend this attorney to anyone in any ...kind of legal trouble

Helped my son with a criminal matter.

My son was arrested for a very serious criminal matter he first had the public defender. The publice defender wanted my son to take a deal and plead guilty. Mr. Valencia came into the case and won at trial. My son is free with a clean record.

My experience with Elite Criminal Defense Law Firm

My experience with Elite Criminal Defense Law Firm from the beginning doing research this was the great choice. With college degrees and alleged court room experience. From my point of view I noticed that I was told what I wanted to hear. I quote "Its a piece of cake." As well as "It's a walk in the ...park." Honesty is a character trait that I value and Elite Criminal Defense Law Firm lied continuously. I would of appreciated and respected them more if they would of had been truthful from the beginning. What they did was post pone court dates and asked for more money. Money is not a problem for me. I was deceived by what the outcome that Elite Criminal Defense Law Firm was trying to accomplish. I strongly feel that Elite Criminal Defense Law Firm did nothing for me. I would of achieved the same results with a public defender. I had a horrible experience with Elite Criminal Defense Law Firm

The worst lawyer ever!!!

He was so quick to try and make a deal, no real defense he is too old for this and he doesn't care if u have a serious case he can't handle the pressure!! Please don't waste your time or money on this man he is not for you I promise!! My Public Defender was way more helpful then him!! I'm warning yal...l!! This guy IS TERRIBLE!!!

Part of my job is to tell you the truth. You became upset when I told you that there was sufficient evidence to convict you of multiple rapes you committed and thus should settle your case to avoid a life sentence. You decided to go with the Public Defender and were convicted of all charges. Perhaps you should have taken my advice.
