Rebecca Reyes
Mr. Cambria is undoubtedly a highly skilled attorney with an impressive 52-year career. His expertise in criminal defense, particularly in high-stakes cases, is well-documented, as evidenced by his 'Lawyer of the Year' recognition. When it came to my white-collar defense case, he demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal nuances and fought diligently on my behalf. However, I found his communication style to be somewhat aloof. While he was prompt in meetings, responses to emails and calls were often delayed, which left me feeling somewhat in the dark at times. The outcome was favorable, but the process felt less transparent than I'd hoped. His experience and track record speak for themselves, but I would have appreciated more proactive engagement throughout the case.
