Posted by anonymous | April 21, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Gregory is trustworthy honest and a gentleman

Gregory was easy to work with he was always very clear about what steps we where going to take next and made the process worry free. I had a checkered past with a felony that was holding me back and hired Gregory to reduce it to a misdemeanor and expunge it in which he was successful in doing. The c...ost was responsible and the whole process was easy thank you!

DUI Expungement

Mr. Balderrama did a great job. He looked at my DUI case and explained the details thoroughly. He revireed the expunge mentioned process with me and took care of everything. When the DA opposed the dismissal, he provided a well thought out, solid argument and the judge granted the dismissal/expungeme...nt. I can finally move on and stop paying for a mistake that happened 12 years ago. He helped give me a portion of my life back. Can't thank him enough.

Easy to talk to and will provide you with great service!

I was lucky to find Gregory to handle my expungement. He was clear about the steps he would need to take, what the timeline would be, what information I would need to provide and most importantly any and all costs associated with the work. Gregory possess a clear understanding of the law and someone ...I would refer all my family and friends to should they find a need for an attorney.

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.

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.
