Experience

I have completed or reviewed thousands of personal injury, workers compensation, and medical malpractice claims. The vast majority that were pursued ended with a recovery to my client, with cases settling from as little as $1,000 to as much as $2,000,000.  I cannot guarantee a certain monetary amount, because every set of circumstances is different.

Over the years, I have defended hundreds of DWI, misdemeanor, and traffic cases.  I have also represented quite a few felony criminal cases, some of which were very high profile. I have a talent for organizing a good defense strategy. After I began work with the Cortinez Law Firm, only a small percentage of felony jury trials resulted in client convictions, and even then, at least one resulted in probation and not penitentiary time. Most of those trials were for Class Y felonies, where the defendant was facing ten-to-forty years or life in prison. One was an acquittal after a federal drug trial.

I don't know everything regarding the practice of law, but with over twenty years of experience, I know that I am an expert on where to look for answers.
