Testimonials

“It is rare to find counsel with knowledge of law across so many segments of law and business. Joaquin is without a doubt one of our most trusted advisors and partners. We value his sound advice, attention to detail, communication style, but moreover, his determination to do everything he can to act as a true partner to us. We are better for it.”

“12 years ago I met Joaquin, my personal attorney, while I was going through a horrible situation.  From the minute I met with him I knew he had my best interest/safety/wellbeing as his top priority, and my daughter too.  Going through a 'custody battle' is quite possibly the worst thing any one person can go through, I had so many questions and unknowns, I didn’t know how I would get through this going up against a 'heavy hitter' but Joaquin took the reins and made sure I never had a worry.  He was available to me for questions whenever I needed, he met with me face to face on numerous occasions and explained things to me in terms I could understand.  I never felt like I was asking a bad question.  He took the time to get to know me and my daughter, to meet with my family, to make us feel like his only client (when I know he was busy with I’m sure many other people going through similar situations).  Joaquin is not only personable, he’s trustworthy and shows he truly cares.  One day, I remember like it was yesterday, I sat in his office and we hadn’t said 2 words to each other and he looked and me and asked 'are you ok?' And I just sat there and cried, I wasn’t ok, and for him to just pick up on that and have the heart to ask and really want the honest answer speaks volumes to the type of man he is.  I recommend Joaquin to anyone and everyone I know that needs legal counsel, he’s remarkable at what he does and I will forever be indebted to him.”

“Mr. Padilla represented me in my personal injury case. I was hit from behind at a low speed resulting in lifetime cervical and shoulder injuries. Mr. Padilla worked collaboratively with my doctors to prove how debilitating my injuries are even though the insurance company tried to claim I was not injured. I endured emotional and mental abuse during an independent medical exam with an insurance doctor and Mr. Padilla went above and beyond to hold the insurance company accountable for their despicable tactics. With competent representation and tenacity Mr. Padilla successfully negotiated a settlement on my behalf so that I can now treat my lifetime injuries.”

“Joaquin represented me in an employment discrimination claim against my former employer. I was subjected to a hostile workplace and faced gender and religious discrimination for many months by my direct supervisor. Joaquin expertly navigated my claims with the company eventually negotiating me a separation agreement complete with a large severance package for the remainder of the year. I couldn’t be happier with the results Joaquin achieved for me while helping me put that painful experience behind me.”
