Mr. Garcia was incredibly understanding with me during an extremely difficult situation. He was very knowledgeable and he was able to get me an incredible result and keep me out of jail.
I cannot express how grateful I am to Mr. Garcia. I blew a .10, and Mr. Garcia got my case dismissed. I heard from many people that I might as well just plead guilty and be done with it because I was just way too over the limit. I am glad I decided to give Mr. Garcia a call. I explained to my situation and he assured me that I had a case that was worth fighting. Throughout the whole process, Mr. Garcia was very good at keeping me updated and out of jail! I didn't have to deal with missing work to show up to court, which was nice because I didn't want to create any suspicion within my workplace. Now I don't have to worry, because Mr. Garcia was able to have my case dismissed! Amazing work and I would highly recommend to anyone with a DUI!
Mr. Garcia was extremely thorough in explaining to me everything regarding my case as to what I was facing, what my options were, and how we were going to proceed.

At the end he was successfully able to negotiate a settlement and most importantly prevented the possibility of a misdemeanor going on my record. I am extremely thankful for his stellar work and would recommend him to anyone who wants an attorney that will fight for them in court.
