Mr. Ortiz and his staff were very professional and kept me constantly updated on the details of my case. Until I became a client with the Ortiz law firm, I had severe anxiety about my case; after my initial meeting with Mr. Ortiz, I felt such relief and confidence because my case was finally in the hands of someone who really cared. If you want to feel like you are more than just a way to make a quick dollar, go with the Ortiz firm. I can't say enough how thankful I am that I did.
