Ramon Arellano Valdez

got pulled over for running a red light (it was yellow) with my 1 1/2 year old son in the back seat , when the officer came up to my window he smelled weed in my car. after they took my blood I got charged with an OWI with a minor. usually when they appoint you a public defender you get a little wor...ried. are they even going to care about me? are they gonna do the minimum possible work because they're overworked? Mr. Valdez was so passionate about his job, I knew he was gonna take care of me when he got appointed to me. He worked diligently to get my sentence reduced because he knew what happened to me was wrong . I was looking at 5 days jail Time and 12 months of probation, he got the probation waved COMPLETELY and I only have to do 3 days jail time at home for child care with a bracelet. I couldn't be Any more satisfied and relieved! I am so grateful for Mr. Valdez, thank you so much.

Ramon is a top notch gentleman who cares and performs accordingly in the court room for his clients. I think he is world class and am surprised at his level of commitment to detail given that of his peers. I am a client of his in a criminal matter and would recommend anyone in need of legal assista...nce not cheat themselves with a lesser attorney. A. V. a client

I was falsely accused of embezzling funds from an ex employer, and was charged in the case. The case began in April 2013 and I was originally appointed a lawyer who told me to take a plea deal, which would affect the rest of my life. Since I was innocent, I refused to accept the plea and asked for ...a different lawyer. Ramon Valdez was then appointed to my case and got right to work for me. The case extended over 2 years; finally concluding with the prosecution dismissing all charges in June 2015. There were many times I was frustrated with how long the case was taking to conclude, but he assured me every step of the way, and asked that I be patient; he had it handled! He is extremely knowledgeable and brought forth motions, and demands of the prosecution that made it very clear that they really didn’t have a case. He really fought for me and each time we went to court (which was 10 plus times) he was motivated, determined, aggressive, passionate, understanding, and compassionate; all the qualities you’d want in a lawyer. On top of being an excellent lawyer, he is a very good person. He genuinely cares about his clients and wants to see the best outcome for them. He gave me my life back; I highly recommend him!

Many years ago I was charged with "Retail theft", a crime which I did not commit. A private attorney told me to plead guilty and go to jail because I had a prior conviction. I was very poor so I tried the Public Defenders Office. Mr. Valdez was my attorney. I told him I was innocent, but that I would... plead guilty if he thought he could get me probation. He said he was not interested in entering a guilty plea for an innocent person. We went to trial and he got me an acquittal. He was the best thing that ever happened to me in the legal system. Coincidentally, my original "private attorney" was in the courtroom that day. He asked what I was doing on the witness stand since I was obviously guilty. I guess you don't always get what you pay for... sometimes you get so much more! I will always be grateful to Ray Valdez, a wonderful lawyer and a wonderful human being.

Ramon Valdez is one of the best criminal lawyers in the state. I was referred to him by a former friend who was facing 50 years in prision and only got 5. I used him on two cases. One was a Substantial Battery-Intend Bodily Harm & the other was Carrying a Concealed Weapon. The Battery case was the mo...st serious. The assist DA told the so called victim that he better be telling the truth about everything cause the lawyer I have is very good and she hadn't won a case against him. That case got thrown out of court with the help of Ramon's private investigator right before trial was going to start. The other charge with the weapon went all the way through trial and I was found not guilty. He totally destroyed the whitness's testimony as well as the police officer's. I was found NOT GUILTY and the asst DA began to cry upon the judge's deccision. Ramon sticks up for people like myself who have been wrongly accused of crimes they have not commited. I myself have referred 4 people to Ramon and all of them came out of the courthouse with a fair shake.
