"I have thought and prayed long about the words that I’m about to write about this firm Benny was my lawyer. Going through the legal process I have to say is one of the worst experience a human being can go through. But having the right attorney which I hope you never find you do need but if you do need Benny is your guy. He had the most patient, He listened to my case and not only did he fight my case because of him in my case was 100% thrown out and I had a felony charge. Was looking at 5 to 10 years in prison and the right to own a firearm would be taken . Salido law firm had my back And was fighting my case for almost a year. We didn’t even have to take it to trial as soon as my attorney filed a motion charges were dropped so it does matter who you hire and who listens to you Mr. Benny Salido and his law firm are the ones! A simple Google search and a trust in faith led me to this law firm and they are here to protect our rights!"

"Do not hire an attorney from this firm unless you are already planning on making a guilty plea. They will do nothing but convince you to plea guilty. Then if you leave a bad review They will clam to not know who you are. I have all the legal docks and receipts to prove that I was a client"

"Spencer "Benny" Salcido was highly competent and knowledgeable. He helped us with the aftermath of a traffic accident we caused after making a left turn. He advocated for us and we got a better outcome than expected. Recently, sought his help for two misdemeanors. He successfully got me a "Plea in Abeyance." He saved me from a bad record and jail time. Now my case is dismissed. So grateful for Salcido's legal defense!"
