This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Dieguez acted promptly and professionally whenever something pertaining to my case needed to be done. He was also kind and understanding to my situation. When dealing with the other party, Mr. Dieguez defended me aggressively and made it very clear that he was not there to play games, but to come... to a prompt and fair resolution in my favor. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking legal help with an employment issue. Should I ever have another legal issue I would even reach out to him for a referral because I trust the kind of attorney he is and can only imagine that he works with and knows like minded attorneys.

GREAT ADVICE -NOT YOUR TYPICAL CREEPY LAWYER

Though our conversation was brief I really appreciated how honest and straight to the point Marcelo was regarding my case. He gave me great advice and reasons to consider both moving forward with a lawyer and without. Jury is still out on which way I'm going but would consider Marcelo all the way.

Marcelo Dieguez was extremely helpful

I called for a free consultation for an employment issue and spoke to Marcello. I felt confident in my decision to hire his firm after Marcello took the time to listen and to guide me. After 6 months he got me a super result. I would highly recommend.

Employment and labor lawyer | Nov 07

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I had the good fortune of being introduced to Mr. Dieguez several years ago by another lawyer in the community, who knew that I was in need of a referral to an outstanding employment law attorney. Since then, I have referred several clients to Mr. Dieguez, and we've worked together with him on a few matters when a client needed both of our services. Without exception, the clients I sent to Mr. Dieguez have raved about his services. He is an outstanding attorney who is highly regarded among other employment lawyers as a rising star. He is not only knowledgeable, but a true gentleman with unquestioned integrity. His advice is not only legally sound but always very practical, taking into account not only the legal implications of the clients' situations, but also their applicable business circumstances. In short, Mr. Dieguez is a lawyer's lawyer. A prospective client can in need of employment law counsel do no better."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
