I engaged Juan Ortiz Úrculo for a complex criminal defense case, and while his expertise in the field was evident—particularly given his recognition by Best Lawyers—our communication could have been more streamlined. The wait times for responses were occasionally longer than expected, though the advice provided was thorough. His experience in criminal law was clear, and he navigated the case with professionalism. That said, managing expectations on timelines would improve future client interactions.

Juan Ortiz Úrculo's expertise in criminal defense is truly impressive—his deep knowledge of the legal system and strategic approach saved my case when I needed it most. As a lawyer recognized by Best Lawyers since 2014, his professionalism and courtroom presence are unmatched. However, his response time to emails and calls could be more consistent. While the cost was worth the outcome, some clients might appreciate a clearer fee structure upfront. Highly recommend for complex criminal cases!

His 11 years of experience, combined with his recognition by Best Lawyers, gave me confidence that I was in capable hands. Juan’s approach was meticulous—he analyzed every detail of my case, explained complex legal concepts in a way I could understand, and kept me informed at every stage. His strategic defense led to a favorable outcome that I didn’t think was possible. Beyond his professionalism, Juan’s genuine concern for my well-being made a difficult process far less daunting.
