Enrique was excellent. I explained my issue, I explained how i wanted it to end, and he delivered. I highly recommend Enrique!!

Has helped me and a few of my friends out tremendously with anything from general legal questions to recommendations for obtaining counsel for legal proceedings...

Mr. Van Rensler did help us out of a tight spot and took on my son's case when we were surprised by last minute notification to appear at a hearing. However, that is the extent of the positive side of our experience with him as our attorney. We were served documents the day before a major holiday and told to appear in court the following Monday morning. Mr. Van Rensler showed up as promised. He sat in the room during my son's intake and made small talk with me then, in the court room, asked the judge for a continuance as he had just taken us on as clients and needed to familiarize himself with the case. Not long after that day, I received a letter from him with the figures pertaining to his fee for that day as well as his retainer fee. I called his office and spoke with his secretary to let her know that I would need some time to see if I could raise the money needed for the retainer. I was told, "well you still owe him 'X' amount" for the work he had already done the day of our first hearing date. I sent that first check and called back a few days later. I made arrangements with his secretary to make two payments for the remainder of his retainer fee. I wasn't able to provide exact dates of when they would be sent, but I assured her the balance would be paid before our next hearing date. It turned out I was able to send one check for the entire remaining balance, instead of two. (That background is relevant, I promise). There was slightly more than one month between the initial court appearance and the next. During that time, we received three mailed letters: his bill, a copy of his request for documents, and copies of those documents. He never spoke to myself or my son and we had no idea what he intended to do or how he intended my son plead to the charges against him. On the morning of our most recent court date, we waited at juvenile court for our attorney. We saw him walk past us, speak to one of the women at the desk, then exit. He never acknowledged us or interacted in any way. The juvenile probation staff member, to whom we had been speaking, approached the woman Mr. Van Rensler had just spoken with. He then informed us that Mr. Van Rensler had gone up to the desk and stated, "I haven't been paid, so I'm not staying." Needless to say, I was beyond shocked and upset. If he had contacted me or spoken to me at all I could have easily shown him the carbon copy of the mailed check. I also could have issued a new check right then and there and contacted my bank after court to stop payment on the original one. instead, he left us at the doorstep of a hearing with no representation. His display was both unprofessional and unacceptable, not to mention the embarrassment of having it announced to the judge and all those in the courtroom that our attorney wasn't present because he claims he hasn't been paid! To my knowledge, Mr. Van Rensler had been paid and I wish he had the courtesy to contact me if there was a problem.
