I had a consultation with Mr. Carrillo and he provided me with great legal advice that helped me with my case. Highly recommend!
Mr. Carrillo took charge and saved my child and i from some pretty shady dealings from two lawyers representing the other parent. His ethics and tenacious efforts and willingness to work with me financially will never be forgotten and i recommend his services to any one in need of family law services.
He met with us for an hour and we provided him with all the material. In spite of multiple calls, did not hear back from him until the court date. He came to the court unprepared and from his irrelevant responses to the judge it was apparant that he had no clue about the case. His performance was so bad, we immediately started looking for another attorney to replace him for the next court date in a week.
