Questions & Answers

Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

Won Administrative Law cases that returned to two peace officers back to work being terminated by their employer. Won significant damage awards for employees who worked in a nursing home on a Wage and Hour claim. Settled numerous personal injury cases to maximize client's benefit.

How did you build a successful practice?

Oviedo Law Group, Inc., has built its practice by referrals from satisfied clients and other attorneys who respect our work.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

Clients should look for a lawyer that is not a salesman. Too many lawyers make a sales pitch rather than a legal analysis in discussing a client's probability of success. Oviedo Law Group, Inc., provides an honest assessment of a case, the costs involved to prosecute and a realistic probability success. Run away from lawyers who guarantee success.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?

Being acquainted with local attorneys goes a long way in discussing and resolving cases beneficial to my clients.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?

Phone consultations are available to gain an initial understanding of the facts and to provide the potential client whether he has a potential meritorious claim or defense. Phone consultations are always followed up by face-to-face meetings.

What information do you need in a free phone consultation?

To assist in a phone consultation, we need the date of the incident, the names of the parties involved, a brief summary of the facts, whether he/she has made any statements thus far and to whom, and whether the potential client has contacted or been contacted by other counsel.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?

At Oviedo Law Group, Inc., we provided personalized case management in that our clients have access to us 24/7. Additionally, we are available statewide, if necessary.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

We enjoy helping people through their difficult time by guiding through the legal system hand-in-hand to a beneficial resolution. We have experience in all phases of the legal system. We practice in Administrative Law, Federal and State Civil Courts, and Federal and State Appellate Courts. Also, we are licensed to practice law in California and Washington D.C. and have applied for admission in Washington State.

What are your other interests in addition to law?

I coach Rugby Football, Brew Beer and Race Cars as a hobby.

Are you involved in your community?

I am involved in my Community by sitting on the Board of Directors of United Way Fresno County and chair the Advocacy Committee. I sit on the Board of Directors for Fresno State Men's Rugby Football Club. I am a pro tem Judge in Fresno County Superior Court Small Claims.
