Ricardo A. Garcia

“When I visited the Montiel family, they were reduced to living in poverty after the wrongful death of their father. Elizabeth looked up at me and said, ‘I felt so alone; with no hope.’ We made sure that she was alone no more and justice was by her side.”

Ricardo A. Garcia became a lawyer because he cares about the rights of the injured, and making sure justice is on their side. He has been recognized by his peers and was appointed by the Mexican Consulate to represent Mexican citizens in the United States.
