Mark Velez did an outstanding job handling my case. He was professional, knowledgeable, and truly cared about getting the best outcome for me. He kept me informed every step of the way and made a stressful situation much easier to handle. I’m extremely grateful for his dedication and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a great lawyer.
Owner response
Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad I could resolve your matter with the dismissal. It always makes me feel good when I can help somebody who has been wronged by the police. You truly were innocent and with your help we brought that to light. You’re a delight to work with. whether it’s in Los Angeles County, Orange County or Ventura county, I’m here to help good people just like you.
He is making threats to me to edit this review in his favor. Using a slander lawsuit.
On July 23, 2025.
"Regarding the Google review you posted. You are factually incorrect. Again, you are spreading false information about me and my business, which constitute slander and defamation. If you do not remove the statements, I will be forced to file a civil lawsuit for slander/defamation."
He also made me the exact same threat just on me asking about the refund (which did not get back at the time) which he forced on me, which I did not consent too.
Before,
He told me he will be getting a new federal job, after I paid him. In May 2025.
And will be switching me to another trustworthy private attorney, which never happened.
He changed it to a public defender.
Which was very upsetting to me.
I hired him and paid him in full, via LegalMatch.
I have told him multiple times, I have not been doing well mentally/emotionally, despite that all he is now making threats for his image. I've never even met him.
I'm at a loss and he has the power can do this!!!
Threaten me for his public reputation.
On terrible services, that didn't go anywhere.
After leading me on to waste my time. To basically gaslight me into termination of his services, which he did without my permission.
To a dependent not well off adult.
I have receipts, I am in fear now due to his over the top reaction/threats to one review...
I did not get satisfactory services at all!
Absolutely garbage of a place! Deserves to be shut down !
Owner response
I’m not sure a conclusion can be made that I have a garbage of a place because I don’t offer the services you requested. But please look into the alternatives I recommended.
I'm editing to share about my second time using Mark's services. He continues to be excepting communicative and made sure I knew exactly what I needed to do to get my case completely dismissed. He appeared in court for me, worked out a great deal to completely remove my charges. I cannot express how happy and satisfied I am. Thank you Mark!
First time: If you are thinking about paying for one of those ticket clinics, DON'T. Go with a professional like Mark. When I reached out to him, he gave me all the information I needed to decide if I wanted to retain his legal advice. Of course, I did. Mark was communicative and kept me up to date with my court dates, which I didn't have to be present for, by the way. This was great because I didn't have to miss work. He was able to work out a sweet, sweet deal for me and got my case fully dismissed. Just AMAZING!! Mark was highly recommended to me by a really good friend, and I'd like to recommend him to everyone as well. It was definitely the best decision I could have made. Call Mark Velez, and you will not regret it.
Owner response
Thank you for the kind words at the Fullerton Courthouse. I also handle misdemeanor and felony cases in Orange County.
Mark is the very best lawyer you can ever have. If you call or email him, he will actually pick up the phone or email back. This sounds basic but it is so rare with lawyers these days. Especially when you have something so important going on in your life, you don't want to be left not hearing back or worrying. Mark is extremely prompt, professional, reassuring, knowledgeable and truly honest and sincere. He goes the extra mile and you don't have to worry about how your case is getting handled. I've had many experiences with attorneys and can state he is the best to have on your side to help you in your time of need.
He not only resolved my issue but went the extra mile and cared about the outcome and treated it as a very important case, making me feel valued. If you are looking around trying to find an attorney, I highly recommend you reach out to Mark and I don't usually make recommendations but feel confident with this one. Otherwise, you will have a bad experience with another lawyer, waste time and money then reach out to him. Best lawyer ever!
Owner response

Hiring Mark to represent me was the best decision! He gave sound advise, was always responsive, acted quickly in my best interest and kept me updated and confident. He was also very affordable given his premium service! I can't recommend him enough!
Owner response
Thank you for the kind review. I’m so glad I could help you.
I am extremely grateful to Mark for his help in resolving the harassment of a person that was stalking me. Mark was able to resolve this issue for me quickly and without any issue by giving notice to cease and desist the behavior of stalking, harassment, and intimidation. Mark's calm and caring manner help me to feel safe; moreover, I have had no further incidents with being harassed by this person. I highly recommend his services to anyone dealing with this same issue. Mark has a good heart, and truly cares about taking care of his clients.
Owner response
Thank you for the kind words. I am so happy I would help you out with your situation.
My family hired Mark Velez after our former attorney withdrew from our case. It was the best decision that we have ever made! Mark is the most friendly, compassionate, honest, trustworthy, caring, and knowledgeable attorney that I have ever met! Mark was always going above and beyond and always stayed on top of our case! He would consistently update us about our case and he cleared up all the miscommunication that our former attorney caused with us and the city. We were charged with 4 code violations that our tenants created which was unbeknown to us. The case was tied up in court for 3 years because our former attorney caused so much miscommunication between us and the city. When we hired Mark to take over the case. He got all charges dismissed after only 2 court appearances. Throughout the whole process, Mark made us feel safe and stress-free. We definitely felt like we were in good hands! Mark was our superhero and I definitely consider him to be part of my family! I would recommend Mark if you are ever in legal trouble! Thank you Mark for all your hard work! We greatly appreciate you!

Thank you for the kind words. It was great helping you through a Lawndale municipal code matter. Fortunately we kept it from becoming a misdemeanor and resolved the matter at Torrance Courthouse.
Mark Velez has been nothing but the best to me. He has dedicated his time and knowledge towards myself and to my case. He has also taken the stress out of the situation I was in and was not only there for me as a lawyer but also as someone I could go to for advice. He is very trustworthy and because of him I knew I was in good hands.
Owner response
I was a pleasure helping you. Helping people in tough situations is always a pleasure. Whether court is ins Inglewood, Torrance, Los Angeles, or even Bellflower, I stand ready to fight any criminal case, whether it is a felony or misdamenaor.
Highly recommended…I had a case during the pandemic which made it difficult to ready up and prepare for court how one should, I took a chance when I chose this law firm to represent me and im really glad I did…was really professional plus I was more than satisfied with the outcome of my case
Owner response
Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad everything worked out. It was a pleasure working with you.
Mark Velez is a professional in every sense of the word. He made my process with the court painless and was incredibly helpful every step of the way. He was very accessible and his guidance and services resulted in my case being dismissed.
