    Review George Munoz

    At a loss for words..

    Posted by

    After going to different lawyers for consultations, I finally settled on Anthony Munoz to represent me and I’m so glad I did! The thing that separated him from the rest was his genuine compassion. He is such a great listener and very empathetic. He takes the time to get to know you as a person in order to help best represent you. After speaking to him on the phone for the first time, I knew he was exactly who I had been waiting for. I was looking at 1 year in prison, probation, fines, etc you name it. From the day I hired him up until my court date was about 2 weeks. I expected my case to go on for months but no. After going in for my arrangement he got all the charges completely dismissed and all I had to pay was a small fine to the court. (400 compared to the thousands I was facing). He fought so hard for me and in getting to know him, I know he would do the same for anyone else. You would be foolish to not go forward with Anthony. He has everyone’s best interest at heart.

    The Lawyer You Want on Your Side

    Posted by

    If you're dealing with an ex who lies to the courts and tries to cheat the system, Anthony is the guy to get to and show the court the truth and put a stop to the lies. He took a genuine interest in getting the best outcome for my daughter and I. I would recommend him to anyone out there fighting a vengeful ex whose looking out for themselves rather than your child.

    Mr. Munoz was recently re hired by us to help us with our case. Mr. Munoz and Ms. Phillips has helped us with a couple of our court cases. Because Mr. Munoz and his teams work/effort in the past is the reason we keep coming back. His professionalism and knowledge of the law is awesome. Anthony works hard and takes the time to not only explain thoroughly what is and may take place but also does excellent research to prepare for court.

    Mr. Munoz and his staff are superb. They took over my case when I became concerned that my then current lawyer was not taking the best care of my divorce and child custody cases. Even though I have experienced considerable stress because of the nature of my cases, I was able to sleep better knowing that Mr. Munoz was looking out for me. I highly recommend Mr. Munoz. He is detailed, professional, and does his homework before he walks into Court.

    Heaven Sent!!

    Posted by

    I have been fighting an ugly divorce and custody battle for 3 1/2 years now. I recently let go of my old Lawyer. I though I could do this on my own and was tired of my case being put off over and over. I recently hired Mr. Munoz July 2017, after speaking with him I was feeling hope again. I was nerveous about my upcoming court date, and how was he going to represent me. Let me tell you I walked out of that court room with my head so high I haven't felt that in a very long time. Mr. Munoz has gone above and beyond for me, I also was fighting a criminal case due to a restraing order violation and he was not the Lawyer representing me but I was able to ask him question and he did not hesitate to give me advice and guide me in that case too. I can honestly say Mr. Munoz was Heaven Sent!!! He is not only a Lawyer but a friend that cares. Thank You Mr Munoz...

    New to San Luis Obispo, and facing a complicated divorce, I was in search of an attorney. A local friend referred me to Anthony. He has been amazing. Very skilled, knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate. I have complete peace of mind knowing he is representing my case. He has been available when problems arise, and is good at explaining how to navigate the situation in the most favorable way. Because of his legal advice, I have been able to avoid a lot of problems. To friends and family, I have given him my highest recommendation, without reservation.

    Truly humble and a kick ass attorney

    Posted by

    I officially hired Anthony Munoz June 2015, and the outcome of my divorce was officially over July 2017. Although it was a rough and exhausting two years, I couldn't have been luckier to have found such a compassionate attorney like Mr. Munoz. He never promised anything he couldn't deliver. My ex husband and his attorney did do some shady and immoral things throughout the whole divorce process and Mr. Muniz kept his cool and would assure me we would not stoop to their level. He was patient and knew when to act. Never compromised his integrity and was always available when I needed him. The outcome of my divorce was more then I could've asked for. He kept assuring me and would direct me on the "do's and don't's" and because of his expertise I was well prepared for anything they threw our way. I recently recommened Mr. Muniz to a close friend as a criminal defense attorney and he gave their family results in a very timely manner and closed out the case. Needless to say they are extremely pleased. I can sincerely call Mr. Muniz a friend because he truly cares for his clients and from my personal experience he takes his cases very personal. His legal fees are reasonable and he and his staff will work with the person to figure out anyone's financial situation in order to get you legal representation. It's my humble honor to recommend Anthony Munoz to anyone in need of a Family Law Attorney or a Criminal Defense Attorney. God willing I don't ever need another attorney again, but if I do, he will be my first choice.
