Great Attorney

Anthony has really been amazing! I don’t normally leave reviews but when it comes to finding an attorney who you can trust is really hard. Most of them just want to get your money. When my husband got himself into trouble I knew we needed to get a good attorney but where do you start? We unfortunatel...y learned the hard way and went with someone who just wanted our money, who said everything we wanted to hear until he was paid the big retainer fee and then switched up and dumped us after we started to question him. So after that Anthony was like a breath of fresh air! He truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond for you. Word around the county is he is a beast and yes that is true but he genuinely is also there for you, listens and doesn’t just want to take your money. I could go on and on how awesome he has been throughout our nightmare but bottom line he is the person you need in your corner! Thank you Tony for standing by us and seeing us through!

An Aggressive, Well Prepared Alpha Lawyer

Anthony Cardoza fought very aggressively for me back in 2006. His communication skills are excellent. On multiple occasions throughout the case, he listened to what I was trying to say, asked me questions until he was sure he understood what I meant, and how it might apply to the case, was clear a...nd precise in his explanations, and was able to convey messages to the judge and prosecutors with grace and eloquence. When Anthony walks into the court room, you know he belongs there because of the way he carry's himself. An alpha lawyer. He commands attention by the way he speaks, and stands behind whatever he says. He's always well prepared, to the point, and doesn't waste much of his time. Don't try and BS the guy, because he will see right through it. For me, it was mostly when I was lying through omission, as I try not to make things up. He was also able to notice when I telling the truth. Skills that I believe would be crucial to being a good lawyer, and one that Anthony's very adept. Mr. Cardoza handled a possession of stolen property case for me that resulted a plead of no contest to the charge with a stipulation to later have it reduced to a misdemeanor and then have it removed from my record. I am very happy with the results of the case. My path at that time was paved with good intentions, unfortunately for me, the prosecutor wanted to pin me as the ringleader of a burglary ring, and was spinning the evidence to make me sound like a very evil and bad guy. It's my belief, if I wouldn't of had an attorney that was as aggressive and knowledgable as Mr. Cardoza, my life would be very different right now. Thank you Anthony!

Anthony Cardoza is the MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

Tony is a great lawyer!! He is very well connected in the Glenn/Butte County Area. He represented me in a Marijuana and Gun charge case and got me off with no jail time and a dismissal after taking drug classes! Thats a great deal especially when u get caught with 14 pounds and a loaded glock 40 hand...gun!!! This guy is great and so is his staff. I am free today because of him. He goes above and beyond to get u the right deal and is a real beast in a trial settinng!! I strongly recommend Anthony Cardoza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
