Client Testimonials:
Diego Ortiz was referred to us by a prominent Bay Area businessman. We consulted with him over a family legal concern. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and practical. Our experience with him is consistent with what other reviewers have stated: he's positive, provides options, and gave good, actionable advice. Thanks to Diego, we addressed our situation with confidence and a feeling of empowered direction. I am grateful for Diego's assistance and would recommend him to anyone.

When you need a good lawyer the immediate dilemma is that there are so many. How do you find one with whom you can place your trust and confidence, not to mention your reputation or freedom? You know it's a critical decision, first because for whatever reason, you need a lawyer. Second, we all learn by experience. But how do you undo a bad lawyer experience? You're stuck with a bad outcome, a hole in your bank account, or both. You may even want to take a shower.
Usually the first thought is to ask trusted friends or colleagues for a name. That's what I did, and that's how I got to to Diego Ortiz. My first contact with Diego was a phone call. He spent nearly an hour listening to the issue at hand, giving his assessment of it, explaining the basic law involved, legal options and possible outcomes. Based on the information I gave him he immediately filed a form and set a date to meet. He didn't charge for that phone call and informed me that I didn't owe him anything until we met and I formally engaged him.
Diego is professional, knowledgeable, experienced, straightforward, honest, and doesn't waste your time or his. Because of his years of experience in the Bay Area, he is not only familiar with the courts, he knows many of the systems' personalities -- the judges and DAs. He's also very responsive to the inevitable questions or concerns that arise as a case progresses. He returns inquiries quickly. He's clear about his fee(s), including informing you in advance about what events or conditions could change them.
If you are consulting Yelp before, or instead of, calling a friend for a recommendation, consider this to be a recommendation without reservation. Diego is a good lawyer, and a good person.
