A great disappointment

When Mr. Edward Munoz first became my attorney, he seemed really enthusiastic about working my case. As time dragged on, about ten months, he seemed to get very impatient in regards to my case being resolved. He started to pressure me into taking a deal that I did not want to take. Mr. Munoz knows c...riminal law very well and is very charismatic in the court room, but I felt like he did not put his best effort into working my case. He kept trying to force me to sign a bad deal until I had to fire him as my attorney. The time Mr. Munoz represented me was a disappointment.

Lawyer needed!!!

It was a very comfortable experience with Mr. Munoz and his staff. We felt confident in his skills, knowledge and strength to do a great job for us. We would definitely contact his firm if need be! Thank you Mr. Munoz and staff for your service.

The Best

Mr. Munoz handled 2 Felony Marijuana charges on my behalf. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Smart, a pleasure to be around, and an EXCELLENT lawyer. If you are walking into a Courthouse this is who you want by your side.
