Jasmine Quiroz Strongly suggest seeking outside lawyers if you can afford it. They have switched my lawyer atleast 5 or 6 times, my case was a DV case in which the man physically assaulted me several times, the judge then put a protection order on me and he kept coming to my mothers home to drag me to where he was and called the police on me. Ive never been arrested prior to being here in fresno and dealing with this man. He has, however, been homeless and selling drugs on the streets for 10 years. The switching of the lawyers is very frustrating. The lack of communication prior to the court date is frustrating. On top of having to deal with the physical and mental issues this man has caused me, I cant get them to represent me properly because theres hardly any communication. The first layer I met with through them told the judge that the so called "victim" was my "baby daddy" which is incorrect and didnt even let me speak before she started speaking rudely to me. Its very confusing. Over all theres some good lawyers there and some that will not represent you properly and are jaded. I think maybe 2 of the 5 or 6 lawyers were genuinely trying to help. The rest I was just another case to. I honestly just finally gave up trying to work with them after the 3rd lawyer and started just taking the plea the judge offered because it feels pointless. Thats extremely difficult because the other party that the judge deemed "the victim" knew exactly how to get away with the physical, mental, and financial damage he caused me because he knows how to play this system.

ron bolser If you are in custody and these guys represent you...expect not to be seen before court, you will not have the chance to speak,no minute orders of what happened in court.They are under staffed over worked and will let the courts do to you what they want.The attorneys are of themselves good people and are actually good attorneys, but in Madera County, they seem to be limited
