He is making threats to me to edit this review in his favor. Using a slander lawsuit.
On July 23, 2025.
"Regarding the Google review you posted. You are factually incorrect. Again, you are spreading false information about me and my business, which constitute slander and defamation. If you do not remove the statements, I will be forced to file a civil lawsuit for slander/defamation."
He also made me the exact same threat just on me asking about the refund (which did not get back at the time) which he forced on me, which I did not consent too.
Before,
He told me he will be getting a new federal job, after I paid him. In May 2025.
And will be switching me to another trustworthy private attorney, which never happened.
He changed it to a public defender.
Which was very upsetting to me.
I hired him and paid him in full, via LegalMatch.
I have told him multiple times, I have not been doing well mentally/emotionally, despite that all he is now making threats for his image. I've never even met him.
I'm at a loss and he has the power can do this!!!
Threaten me for his public reputation.
On terrible services, that didn't go anywhere.
After leading me on to waste my time. To basically gaslight me into termination of his services, which he did without my permission.
To a dependent not well off adult.
I have receipts, I am in fear now due to his over the top reaction/threats to one review...
I did not get satisfactory services at all!

Mark is the very best lawyer you can ever have. If you call or email him, he will actually pick up the phone or email back. This sounds basic but it is so rare with lawyers these days. Especially when you have something so important going on in your life, you don't want to be left not hearing back or worrying. Mark is extremely prompt, professional, reassuring, knowledgeable and truly honest and sincere. He goes the extra mile and you don't have to worry about how your case is getting handled. I've had many experiences with attorneys and can state he is the best to have on your side to help you in your time of need.
He not only resolved my issue but went the extra mile and cared about the outcome and treated it as a very important case, making me feel valued. If you are looking around trying to find an attorney, I highly recommend you reach out to Mark and I don't usually make recommendations but feel confident with this one. Otherwise, you will have a bad experience with another lawyer, waste time and money then reach out to him. Best lawyer ever!

I'm editing to share about my second time using Mark's services. He continues to be excepting communicative and made sure I knew exactly what I needed to do to get my case completely dismissed. He appeared in court for me, worked out a great deal to completely remove my charges. I cannot express how happy and satisfied I am. Thank you Mark!
First time: If you are thinking about paying for one of those ticket clinics, DON'T. Go with a professional like Mark. When I reached out to him, he gave me all the information I needed to decide if I wanted to retain his legal advice. Of course, I did. Mark was communicative and kept me up to date with my court dates, which I didn't have to be present for, by the way. This was great because I didn't have to miss work. He was able to work out a sweet, sweet deal for me and got my case fully dismissed. Just AMAZING!! Mark was highly recommended to me by a really good friend, and I'd like to recommend him to everyone as well. It was definitely the best decision I could have made. Call Mark Velez, and you will not regret it.

My family hired Mark Velez after our former attorney withdrew from our case. It was the best decision that we have ever made! Mark is the most friendly, compassionate, honest, trustworthy, caring, and knowledgeable attorney that I have ever met! Mark was always going above and beyond and always stayed on top of our case! He would consistently update us about our case and he cleared up all the miscommunication that our former attorney caused with us and the city. We were charged with 4 code violations that our tenants created which was unbeknown to us. The case was tied up in court for 3 years because our former attorney caused so much miscommunication between us and the city. When we hired Mark to take over the case. He got all charges dismissed after only 2 court appearances. Throughout the whole process, Mark made us feel safe and stress-free. We definitely felt like we were in good hands! Mark was our superhero and I definitely consider him to be part of my family! I would recommend Mark if you are ever in legal trouble! Thank you Mark for all your hard work! We greatly appreciate you!
