Lack of coordination day of court

I'm unsure what professional communication is, but on the day of the case, I received text messages asking for my driving record and whether I had used a diversion. Knowing that I had to ascertain when I had my last diversion instead of finding fault in the traffic stop is quite disconcerting. They d...id represent me, but the 550 I spent on their representation and the fine, I can't say it's a great investment. Cheers, Alexander Morrison

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.

Not good for Traffic Tickets.

You pay up front, don’t hear anything until you ask, then randomly receive a letter saying they did nothing and you are guilty to the fullest extent.

Highly Recommended 5 stars ✨

Perfect communication. Handled the case in a timely fashion and got my speeding ticket dismissed. Reached out to the citing officer. Highly knowledgeable of traffic law and would highly recommend to anyone looking to retain a traffic attorney.

Speed Ticket

"I recommend Edgar Diaz highly enough! When I received my speeding ticket, I was panicked about the potential impact on my driving record and insurance rates. Edgar was incredibly professional, explained the process clearly, and worked diligently to get my ticket dismissed. He was always available to... answer my questions and kept me updated throughout the entire process. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I was able to avoid any points on my license and keep my insurance premiums low and save my Job.......

  • 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.
