I had a very bad experience with attorney Murguia and would not recommend him for any reason.. My…read moreexperience was that he was in his dealings with me he was very dishonest, took my money under false pretenses, and was also incompetent . He took my money and took no steps to further my case, and in fact showed that he had no understanding of the case.
Although Murguia holds himself out as US law firm, he is not. He is not licensed to practice, or practicing in the US. He's a Mexican lawyer who simply opened a mail drop office in Texas so he could claim to be a US lawyer. He's not. If you call the "US office "you get rerouted to his Mexican office.
I contacted Attorney Murguia with an urgent matter to be filed immediately relating to with a property dispute with a statue of limitations. I told him that I had to have the criminal complaint filed within a few weeks, even though the court was going on recess for the holidays. Attorney Murguia misrepresented that he understood my case completely, and the urgency of it, and he told me in writing that his office would work on and develop my case while the court was on holiday recess and be ready to file the first week in January. On that basis he said he needed me to send him US$1200 US immediately so they could proceed immediately. I sent him the money and then wrote him numerous times over the course of two weeks, reminding him that the land dispute case was urgent, He never replied to any of my correspondence. Neither he nor his staff ever worked on the case that I had asked him to work on, and he clearly had no understanding of the urgency , or the legal issues, or anything else about the case, although I had gone over it with him in detail, and also sent him a written summary of the case and. sent him detailed documentation . He never even reviewed it! Nor did he apparently read or reviewed the text that I sent him about the specifics of the case and how urgent it was
I consulted him about two separate cases. I wrote out the basis for each case, and send him the documents for each case. One case had to do with the land dispute, which I repeatedly told him was urgent. I asked him to focus on that case to get it filed first The other case had to do with a condominium association.
After I sent him the print documents to each of the two cases, and the money, he did not even read any of the materials or the mini texts I sent in reminding him that the land dispute case was urgent. When Attorney Marguia did not respond to me within two weeks, I asked for my money back. He refused to give it back to me. Instead, he tried to sell me on paying him to do a power of attorney that I could use when I left the country in six months, which was quite irrelevant. He had never read my correspondence, he had never reviewed my documents, . After I asked for my money back several times because he had failed to respond to me in anyway , he sent me a pitiful discussion of the condominium regime, which appeared to be the kind of analysis a law student would make. It was not pertinent to either of the cases that I had discussed with Attorney Murguia . Instead of taking any action relevant to the cases I had consulted him about , Attorney Murguia tried to get more money from me in order to prepare a power of attorney that he recommended that I have when I left the country, which was not going to happen for at least six more months and was totally irrelevant at the time.
Attorney Murguia did not understand the cases that he had told me that he understood,, did not ever review the analysis of the cases and the materials I sent him, or pay any attention to my correspondence to him, in which I outlined both cases . He, or some lost student he delegated to, got confused and he had somebody at the level of a law student write me some irrelevant comments on a document that was not sent to him related to the land dispute, and the law student type of comments had nothing to do with either of the cases that I was urgently trying to get filed. He took my money on false pretenses that he would start preparing the land dispute case immediately, and he never did. And he refused to return my money, despite the fact that he did nothing relevant to the cases I discussed with him.
I hope you will be forewarned and stay away from this Attorney.
