Great experience. I initially spoke with attorney Laura Contreras on obtaining a bond for my sister. She explained in great detail what the process would be and the fact that she spoke Spanish made it so much easier where my sister could understand. Once I signed up with them, it was a smooth process where I would receive updates from her as well as her assistant Yasmin. She was a great help. Eventually my sister was granted a bond and I owe everything to Ms. Contreras and her staff. Thank you.
