Underage Drinking/ Possession and False ID

Mr. Diaz did a great job explaining our situation to us, expanding on what we should and should not do. He reduced a total fine of +$800 to around $250, by getting the fake ID charge dismissed. Unfortunately, the underage drinking ticket could not be expunged and will remain on my record for 5 years.... However, he was able to arrange a deal in order to prevent our driving licenses from being suspended. Overall great guy with a lot of experience and great college stories.

The calm to our storm...

Several years ago, our then 3 year old son had open heart surgery. Now at the age of 10, the unending health issues and medical care are finally slowing. Feeling like we were caught in a hurricane of debt, I called for a consultation. Mr. Diaz helped us find out just how much we actually owed and ta...lked about ways to get out of what seemed an impossible situation. Never having claimed bankruptcy before we had no idea where to start, he helped us with a very cheerful demeanor and understanding. He and his entire staff are very kind people! They responded to every email and call in a timely manner and made me feel at ease for the first time in about a decade. He is who I needed to calm my fears and help us get on track with our financial storms.

Excellence in service...

When I first contacted Attorney Diaz, he was very helpful in explaining exactly what a bankruptcy would entail, and how it would work... Taking me through the process step by step. He did not make me feel ashamed to be filing for bankruptcy, and clearly answered any and all questions I had. When I ...hired him, he and his paralegal were very thorough in the entire process and kept in touch with me on a regular basis making the entire bankruptcy easy to get through. I would definitely recommend him to anyone considering bankruptcy. Despite the fact that bankruptcy is not exactly a pleasant experience to go through, Attorney Diaz's professionalism and friendliness made the entire process as positive as possible.
