Phenomenal Criminal Defense Attorney

I got into a situation where I was falsely accused of domestic violence. I contacted Reve, we met shortly thereafter, and discussed all my options and what the process would entail. I told her from the gate that I wasn't taking a plea deal, so if the DA wasn't going to drop the case, we are going t...o trial. Reve was very professional, knowledgeable and in tune with my needs. She was always upfront, honest and told me like it is. She advised me of all my options every step of the way and gave her professional and legal opinion, but at the end of the day, left it up to me for the final say so. Long story short, after a year of pre-trial, we finally went to trial and I couldn't have been happier with Reve's work. She was extremely prepared every single day. She made sure I was prepared, while also making sure I was just as involved in the trial as she was. Meaning, we bounced ideas off of each throughout the trial, as well as compared notes from each day. In the end I was found NOT GUILTY, but more importantly, I could tell Reve really fought for my innocence, and not only went the extra mile for me, but was extremely passionate in doing so. I would without question recommend Reve to anyone who finds them self in any type of criminal trouble. She will help you figure things out, but in doing so, she will keep it 100 percent real and not just tell you what you want to hear. Lastly, her attention to detail, her knowledge of different legal situations and scenarios, and most importantly, her passion and dedication is unparalleled! I can't thank her enough for all her help over the past year!

Helping The Veteran Community

I contacted Reve to help resolve a traffic violation. She returned my phone call almost immediately and we had a consultation the very next day. She was up front, knowledgeable and she had years of experience. She decided to take my case. She went above and beyond my expectations and resolved my case... promptly and successfully. She was calm and confident from beginning to end, she always kept me up to date and always answered my calls. She put my mind to easy in a very stressful situation. On top of her knowledge and experience she is also incredibly kindhearted. After explaining that I was a collage student and a military member with very limited funds she generously agreed to help me for a fraction of what I expected. Her services are worth far more than what I paid for. She was compassionate and eager to help, rather than just wanting money. I called Reve about a year later to thank her for everything she had done for me not expecting her to remember me very well. To my surprise she not only knew my case but she knew me by first name and everything we had talked about. I can honestly say I never expected such a positive experience from one of the worst moments of my life. Hopefully I will never need her type of services again. However if I or a Friend or family member ever did I would call her immediately. I can not thank her enough.

A great attorney to represent you in court.

I highly recommend Ms. Bautista. She is very knowledgeable and competent. She was able to negotiate a dismissal on my case. I am so very happy I hired her. I highly recommend her.

Great Attorney

Reve is a compassionate attorney who always kept me and my family updated and informed of the process as well as the options available. My mother was very concerned about my case because of my immigration issues, but Ms. Bautista made sure that I was protected. She has the experience as a former p...rosecutor so she knows and understands what needs to be done to protect me. I would highly recommend Ms. Bautista.

Avvo Rating

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.
