I’ve had a plenty good amount of lawyers. And leading up to the end result of the case Oscar communicated very well and prompt. Met with him several times. On the surface he seemed like he was a top tier lawyer. But on day of trial prosecutors didn’t want to take it to trial so offered to dismiss altogether. Ultimately I violated a protection order by calling my sons school during the case, which I didn’t know I couldn’t do but accepted that responsibility openly so the prosecutor offered to dismiss the DV and amend the protection order violation to an attempted. Judge moved to sentence at that time. And when it was time for Mr Rodriguez to speak on my behalf, he said nothing! Nothing acceptable on my behalf. It was a misdemeanor charge albeit but the judge sentenced me to the maximum she could all while keeping the protection order in place even though the Domestic Violence was thrown out obviously by the prosecutor for lack of evidence. It’s been two years that I’ve been on this misdemeanor probation and I’m still not allowed to see my son. All from asking for a report card. He did NOT fight for me. Not in the least bit!! I would not recommend this lawyer under any circumstances. After sentencing he promised he’d file a motion for me and never did. Nor do I think he intended to. I’ve been sold out by a few paid attorneys and I’m not saying this happened in my case. But I can’t express enough how he did not fight for me. Totally shocked because on the face he seemed solid. Not in the end. I have to tell you I’ve never wrote a review before and me doing so says a lot.
