Omar Curiel Figueroa

My faith in the California judicial system and my absolute belief in the integrity of law enforcement was shattered 6/2010 when I was arrested for delivering cannabis to medically qualified patients. I followed California state law, paid taxes, and was very up front with local politicians. None of... that mattered. Solano county said "No medical marijuana here, we don't care what California state law is.". True to their word I was arrested, my husband was arrested and we came home from dinner surrounded by guys in bullet proof vests. NEVER had I been in any trouble before (I was 50 yrs old at time) and I was TERRIFIED! After much research and after speaking to a number of attorneys I decided to trust Omar and it was definitely the best decision! His education, knowledge and experience is outstanding. It took a few years to get through this mess and he was with me the whole time. Anyone who is knowlegeable of Solano County's position on MMJ, and especially in Vacaville, knows this was a very difficult battle. Thanks Omar! Hire him, you will be very glad you did!

Through two and a half years of litigation and processing, Omar Figueroa kept me informed every step of the way. In the end, my charge was reduced substantially and I was given only minor conditions that I was able to carry out very quickly. Omar and his team never lost track of me and fought through... poor offers by the DA , never letting me settle for an unfair ruling. I am very indebted to Omar for getting me through my small ordeal and making me feel comfortable throughout the process.

I was arrested in Sausalito CA for possession of 167 pounds of cannabis and 3 ½ grams of ecstasy. I thought my life was over and I was preparing myself for jail. I researched a dozen lawyers, interviewed three and then I found Omar. Within minutes of our first meeting I felt there might be some h...ope and I knew he was the person I needed to work with. He was professional, very smart and easy to talk to. After we started working together I also realized he has integrity and is highly respected among his peers. Omar coached me through every part of the process. I never had any uncertainty going into court. His office support staff is thorough and outstanding. After an eight month process I was awarded three years felony probation with a good chance after probation the felony will be reduced so it doesn't show on my record. Yes, no jail time, just probation! It even gets better. During sentencing Omar argued that I still be allowed to drink alcohol and use medical cannabis while on probation and the judge agreed. My probation officer told me he has never seen anyone on probation allowed these privileges. The only mistake you can make hiring Omar is not listing to his coaching. I am one GRATEFUL client.

Omar has represented me for over a year in a high-profile case that is a litmus test for how local courts treat those who put their bodies on the line to defend the earth. Not only has he been a very effective representative, showing great competence, skill, and instincts at key moments in the case, ...but he has been exceptionally generous with his time. This is a great lawyer who is in the game for all the right reasons.
