Amy Carter
I hired Mr. Lavín Santacruz after seeing his recognition in criminal defense by Best Lawyers, which gave me confidence in his legal knowledge. My case involved a complex misdemeanor charge with potential immigration consequences, and his understanding of the interplay between criminal and immigration law was evident. He was diligent in court and the final outcome was acceptable. However, my experience was mixed. While he is clearly knowledgeable, there were periods where communication was slower than I would have liked. Getting updates sometimes required multiple follow-ups on my part. His office, Lavín & Alvarez Abogados, seems busy, and I occasionally felt like just another case file. For someone with his recognized expertise, I expected a more proactive and consistent client experience. He is a capable attorney who achieved the primary legal goal, but the overall service felt transactional rather than collaborative.
