My experience with Attorney Elvia P Garcia

I really appreciate the excellent treatment I received from Attorney Elvia P Garcia and her coworkers. I received prompt responses to my phone calls and email messages regarding my case. I feel she gave it her best in handling my case. I’m still dealing with the consequences of my mistakes. I look fo...rward to completing all court ordered programs and paying all the fines imposed on me. Most of all, I want to get off probation and have Attorney Elvia P Garcia request to have my record ex sponge. Thank you

Elvia- A Credit to The Legal Profession.

Our 20yr old son, while visiting San Barbara in summer 2015 fell foul of your strigent posession of alcohol in public laws. He also produced a false evidence of age card. He was duly arrested and charged with very serious charges that would on conviction have serious implications for the rest of his... life. He returned home to Ireland and an arrest warrant issued due to his non attendance in court. We became aware of the case for the first time in May 2018. Not knowing what to do, I searched the web for attorneys in Santa Barbara. I had the good fortune to stumble upon Ms. Elvia P. Garcia who without doubt is the most competent, efficient and professional attorney I have dealt with in almost forty years in law enforcement. She took possession of the case from the first moment I spoke with her on the telephone and she saw it through to successful and fair conclusion. She kept me up to date almost daily and she was always available to take a call notwithstanding the time difference.She dealt with the case in the absence of our son which meant a huge financial saving for me. Her fees were very reasonable and realistic. Her advises were well researched and her knowledge of the law and of the legal system was outstanding. Her ability to plea bargain is second to none. She spoke in terms that was easy to understand and she portrayed a genuine interest in our son's future. Our family owe her an enormous debt of gratitude and I have no hesitation in recommending her. She is a credit to the legal profession.

DUI

I recieved a 2nd dui in Santa Barbara and I live in a different county. Elvia Garcia was excellent in helping me out with my case. She took care of all court issues and made appearances on my behalf. At one point when my case dragged on longer than usual I offered to pay more money. Elvia told me to ...not worry about additional charges. She got me a better deal then what was being given put to others with the same charges. I would deffinetly reccomend her.

Knowledgable, responsive, and efficient - exactly what you want!

Eliva was extremely helpful, responsive, and knowledgeable in handling my criminal matter. She guided me through the entire process and kept me informed of exactly what I needed to do to resolve my issue. A process I thought would take at least a month was resolved within about a week due to her hard... work and prompt communication, which was a pleasant surprise as in my experience other lawyer's response times really dragged out the issue making me needlessly worry. Highly recommend!

"When I first started practicing in Ventura county, a paralegal in our office told me that Elvia was one of the best attorneys in our Court. I now understand why. Even though we have had clients opposed to one another, Elvia has always conducted herself with professionalism, honesty and good character. I happily endorse her to anyone looking for a family law attorney."
