Helpful, Knowledgeable Attorney. Joseph Cervantez helped me a ton! I got a speeding ticket that went to collections, and Joseph walked me through the process of how to contest it over the phone and was perfectly up front about my options and his fees, even without hiring him. Awesome, ethical attorney. The world needs more like him!

Helped us to the max!

 We did an intake with Mr. Cervantez about our son. After we explained the situation to him, he made a few calls and then said that we didn’t need to hire him. He explained to s what to do and he even helped a bit. A few days later we got the situation resolved because he had called for us. He could have charged us but he didn’t think it was very difficult to do. Integrity and compassion, I would recommend him to anyone.

Cervantez Knows his way around the Courtroom. Attorney Cervantez said he had a road-map to get me where I wanted. He makes himself available via cell phone and always got back to me. I don’t have a record now because it was his goal to make sure I wasn’t going to lose my license!

No cons with this guy!
 Joseph has been a very phenomenal lawyer for my husband regarding his family custody battle. We had a lawyer before him, spent way too much money for almost a year just to get nowhere. We luckily found him, and hired him in August. Since then, Joseph has held all of his promises thus far. We aren’t completely done with court just yet, but we are moving way faster than what I would have expected! Thank you Joseph for helping my husband get the time he deserves with his son!
