About:
We understand that finding yourself in need of a criminal defense attorney can be a deeply overwhelming and stressful experience. You may be wrestling with feelings of uncertainty, fear, and confusion – and we know it’s hard to talk about. There is often an uncomfortable taboo associated with being accused of a crime; however, over 80 million people in the US, nearly 1 in every 3 adults, have a criminal record . That doesn’t even account for the people who were charged with a crime but never convicted or situations that led to a restraining order but no arrest. Understand that you’re not alone in your situation , and you have the right to feel supported. At The Nieves Law Firm, we are here to guide you through these difficult times, providing experience and compassionate counsel to navigate the complex legal landscape. Whether you’re facing criminal charges, dealing with a restraining order issue, or need post-conviction relief to move forward in life, your concerns are our priority. Our goal is to provide clear, understandable answers to the questions you may have, such as:

"I recently had the pleasure of working with attorney Xochitl and I can't express enough how amazing she was throughout the entire process. From the very first meeting, she demonstrated to be compassionate and understanding by making me feel comfortable and supported. She listened to all of my questions concerns and answered all my questions. I was super stressed and didn’t know what to do because my own brother and his girlfriend put in a restraining order full of lies and his girlfriend was already taking advantage of the restraining order by calling the police every time she seen me driving in public streets l. and when I contacted the Nieves law group I felt like I had someone who cared for me and they took my case immediately even though it was a week before my court and with a 3 day holiday in between they all worked very hard to help me with my case and I felt relieved and knew that some one was fighting for me, and that made all the difference. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance. She is not just an attorney; she is an advocate who truly goes above and beyond for her clients. Thank you for everything!"

"I had a free 30-minute consult with Joanna Nieves when I needed a DV restraining order. She was compassionate and knowledgeable so I decided to hire her. Unfortunately like many larger firms I was passed to another attorney on her team. It became clear that their docket was full, and despite this attorney's "best" efforts, very important details were missed or had to be communicated multiple times. When, after the restrained party wrote in an email to me that they would "see me" on the court date despite not having been served, my attorney failed to bring a paper copy of the restraining order or have a process server present to serve him in court, I decided to terminate Nieves' services. My case has had to be continued twice and because of this missed opportunity may have to be continued a third time. This was a major failure on her part that has cost me additional time, money, and stress that could and should have been avoided."
