Worked opposite Angel for a year at the prosecutor's office. He is a true advocate: He cares about his clients, he is honest and fair, and demonstrated great ability to be both a diplomat and fighter. Working with him inspired me to pursue greater ambitions in criminal defense, and now we work together. Proud to say I've worked with and continue to work with Mr. Betancourt. He is a rare mix of sincere and tenacious, something we can all learn from.
