DUI and Criminal defense attorney in Lancaster, CA. Bilingual in both English and Spanish.

I am a criminal defense attorney, bilingual in both English and Spanish.

Review Jesse Duran

Patient and thorough

Posted by

Attorney Duran worked with me to get the post possible outcome in my case. He represented me on my case, but also consulted with my attorney on another related case and worked with both of us to get the result we needed. After the case was over he helped me get the charge dismissed. There were several road blocks along the way but he persisted until we got a favorable outcome.

Restraining order

I highly recommend Mr Duran. He represented me in obtaining a temporary restraining order and eventually getting a stay away agreement. He was straight forward and honest.
