Not Prepared, Evidence Ignored, Very Poor Communication

I hired Mr. Edgar Diaz to represent me in a traffic case and later an appeal. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing and costly. From the beginning, my case was handled without any meaningful evidence development. I was never asked to provide photos, documentation, or supporting mater...ials, even though the case involved an accident and physical damage that directly contradicted the allegation. I proactively sent photos, but they were never incorporated into any written filing or preserved argument. Communication was a major issue. I was not notified in advance of the appeal hearing, was not consulted on strategy, and did not receive a clear explanation of what happened in court afterward. I had to independently contact the court myself to confirm the outcome of my appeal. The appeal was argued almost entirely orally, with no substantive written argument preserved addressing the core factual contradictions in the case. When I later asked for records and clarification, I was repeatedly pushed to discuss matters by phone instead of receiving clear written explanations. In the end, I paid attorney fees, appeal fees, and the full court fine, with no meaningful advocacy reflected in the record. When I raised concerns about representation quality and requested a partial refund, it was flatly refused. This review is not about losing a case — it’s about lack of preparation, lack of evidence use, and lack of communication. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution others to carefully consider their options before hiring this attorney, especially if your case depends on factual evidence and detailed advocacy.

Highly Recommend

Edgar helped me in successfully dismissing a speeding ticket in Linn county. Although we did not succeed initially in the justice court, we were able to appeal the verdict and get the ticket dismissed in the circuit court. Edgar was very clear in apprising me of the latest developments in the case, w...hich was very important since I am from out of state, and the appellate process can take time. I would whole heartedly recommend Edgar if you're looking for traffic ticket defense in Linn county.

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.
