1 /5 Beatriz Urista: Horrible attorney! I lost my home due to him not knowing the law. He had me sign a power of attorney so he could get paid but did not put anything about protecting my assets or money in the paper work and I lost everything! He advised me to pleed guilty without even knowing full details of my case. Did not do any research on dropping anything in my case, I had to, then he advised me not to submit my information because it will look like Im not taking responsibly, but my research knocked 28 months off my sentence!!. Do not risk your money or freedom with this lawyer!! Again, I lost my home, $80,000, my daughters college fund, 3 years of my freedom, and paid him $10,000!!!
