From opposing each other in criminal cases when Jorge was a District Attorney, to co-counseling on matters now, I know Jorge well and whole-heartedly recommend him. He is a ferocious courtroom advocate and highly effective litigator. He has never lost a jury trial. He is smart, determined, and effective. Additionally, Jorge is one of the funniest, smartest, and kindest attorneys that I have had the privilege of working with. He is a model for other attorneys. View More
