Worst of the Worst

Smooth and reassuring talker. Confident and humble sounding. He is a part of the oiled machine. Self serving, file chrlurner. Lacks good ideas. Workmanlike. Very timid and weak against opposing party. Major local courthouse "politician." "Favor exchanger." Part of the clique. Incredible amo...unt of time wasted. Incredible amount of nothing getting done in three years. Incredible amount of mistakes. Did more damage than good. Irresponsible. Critical IQ deficiencies. Overwhelmed and underqualified assistants. Would have been far better self representing.

Not recommended

This attorney falls short of expectations as they lack the willingness to advocate vigorously on your behalf. Instead, they tend to settle for less and charge higher fees than initially communicated. It is worth noting that although this attorney's reviews appeared positive, closer inspection reveale...d a limited number of reviews, which should be considered a warning sign. I hope this review remains accessible to prevent others from making the same costly mistake of investing thousands of dollars in an attorney who fails to deliver results.

All in 1

An attorney with compassion and integrity is a rare find. You will find such traits with Ignascio. I have recommended and hired Ignascio for his services in both business disputes, intellectual property and personal property claims. His diverse knowledge & services have given me the peace of mind nee...ded to conduct day to day business operations. Thanks Ignascio for your continued consultation.

Quality you can trust

Ignascio helped me resolve my court issues without any additional stress or hassle. He was responsive to all my inquiries and handled my case with great technical knowledge and know-how. His fees are beyond reasonable and the overall experience was top notch. I would recommend him to anyone in need... of legal counsel.

Thorough, professional, and personable

Ignascio is personable, thorough, and professional. He helped me in two separate cases and achieve two favorable outcomes. Each time we met he was attentive and asked many questions to ascertain as much relevant information as possible. His experience and knowledge of the law allowed him to tailor th...e best case for me. In the court room he is firm, confident, able to observe rules of the court and is always respectful towards the judge (which always helps). I hope I never find myself in legal matters again, but if I do the first person I'll call is Ignascio Camarena!

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.
