Posted by Mehran | November 04, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Personable, Respectful, Thorough

I'd recommend Mr. Menendez to represent anyone that requires a criminal defense attorney. He answers all of my inquiries immediately. He went the distance and explained everything in detail, no matter how big or small, in layman's terms. I am truly grateful for his knowledge, witnessing him think "...on his feet" in the courtroom was a blessing.
