"Cody Villalon is by far one of the. Best attorneys. I know many people get probation violations and it’s a big problem. This man was able to single handly get my man time served 14 day and get his 10 year probation dropped! When I say dropped I’m saying that my man absconded for 7 years, neverONCE reporting and he was still able to get everything dropped. I’ve never seen that before. My man is now free with no supervision and living his best life. Cody, if you read this, you are the best defense lawyer me and my man has ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Good luck to you and all who come searching"
