Testimonials

Real Stories. Real Results.

Don’t just take our word for it

Mr. Pena came highly recommended from a family friend, and from the moment we hired him he took control of our case which gave my wife and I the confidence we needed…..

I found attorney Pena through the internet on google after contacting many other attorneys. My case was very difficult because when I hired him. I had some past criminal convictions that the government was trying to use to deport me even though these convictions were over 20 years old. Attorney Pena researched my case and with his creative arguments he was able to win against the government, and now I am a permanent resident.

Once I saw Craig Pena in the courtroom with all the other attorneys there was no question that I hired the best, and that I was in good hands. He was very confident in what he was doing and everyone could see that. If you are looking for an attorney your only call should be to Craig Pena Law Office. Thank you again for helping me and my wife.
