Francisco Rodriguez

I hired Mr. Rodriguez for a speed violation. I drive for work and also am an avid motorcyclist. I need to keep my record clean.
He explained the process to me and did the work of going in to schedule an arraignment and showing up to court.
When the officer requested a continuance, Mr. Rodriguez did what I don’t know how to. In the end, the case was dismissed. After months of waiting on pins and needles, it was a relief. Thank you Mr. Rodriguez!

Descent guy !! Waiting for his response on my case.
I will keep I posted. For now 5 stars.

Attorney Rodriguez is extremely competent and helpful! He successfully dismissed my red light camera ticket and took care of everything in between. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for top tier legal help!

Mr. Rodriguez successfully defended me on a 100+ mph charge. I was not going that fast and was never paced or radared but the police officer said people called 911 on how fast I was driving… That’s crazy.
Thanks Mr. Rodriguez, your the best!

Best lawyer in town did it again.
Second time in a row that Francisco managed to help me. He really knows his craft. Highly recommended

Francisco takes care of all my driving issues (there was no so many but at least 4 times over the years…). He always did it great! He take care of everything, goes to the court without me and always reached a satisfying results. His fees are super-​dissent and I’ll be back to him as soon as possible if I’ll have another problem…

In, short, I was pulled over while driving home and handed a ticket I didn’t deserve. I met with several lawyers in my quest to fight this thing, but the only one who I felt had a shot at winning my case was Francisco. Others suggested the possibility of a fine reduction at best, but he’s the only one who truly wanted to fight and get the entire thing dismissed. I’ll admit it, I was a bit worried that his confidence in winning my case was too good to be true, but I went with my gut and these Unilocal reviews, and hired him. I’m happy to report that my instincts proved correct– my case was dismissed, and I no longer have this awful ticket hanging over my head.
I’m thankful I found Francisco, and I can’t imagine any other lawyer being nearly as effective as him at fighting a moving violation. Highly recommended, and worth every penny.

If you’re ever in trouble with the law, Francisco’s your guy!
My problem: DUI.
Charges against me: 1) driving under the influence, 2) driving with blood alcohol content above 0.08, and 3) driving with blood alcohol content above 0.15.
Evidence against me: 1) Blood test: Blood Alcohol Content of 0.17 2) Video recording of weaving and not responding to police 3) My own admission of consuming alcohol on audio recording 4) Failed 5 field sobriety tests (according to the CHP officer)
I had a bad case. We went to trial, and the jury was deadlocked 10 for guilty. After the judge declared a mistrial, the DA was set on a re-​trial. Long story short, all charges were dismissed. If you want to know more, talk to Francisco. I would recommend all my friends to him!

I’ve used Attorney Francisco Rodriguez since the late 1990’s. Having a few run-​ins with the law, Francisco has always been professional and very knowledgeable. I will continue using Francisco in the future, because I know that he will get the job done! I’ve referred numerous clients to him and will continue to do so! Thank you Francisco!

Mr. Rodriguez was very professional in handling my case, cared for my needs & concerns, and most importantly… knows the law and knows how to reach our goals!
After hearing about my situation and my ideas for a defense, he explained how the court would view my case based on his experience, and came up with strategies that would eventually get my traffic charges dismissed!
I couldn’t be more happy, and felt like throwing a party after Mr. Rodriguez showed me the dismissal document… He is a highly competent attorney and highly recommended.

I will preface this review by stating that if you already have points on your driving record and were caught in a bad plight such as DUI or driving 100+ mph, Francisco may be just the guy you need.
If you’re like me with a clean driving record and were unlucky to get a red light camera ticket ($ 500 fine, ouch), think twice before hiring Francisco. I spoke to Francisco before hiring him, and he went on and on about how he has handled many red light camera cases and, in the vast majority of cases, he is able to get the ticket dismissed or reduced. He said it’s because of the way the data is collected; it has nothing to do with what you did or what was caught on camera. He made it sound like it’s a simple technicality and he knows how to get around it. He said this over and over, «dismissed or reduced», being careful to say «dismissed» first. So I hired him to handle my red light camera case, thinking it’s an easy matter of using technicality in your favor to get an expensive ticket dismissed.
I knew I had been taken when, as soon as he rang up my credit card for his $ 450 fee ( Unilocal deal instead of the regular $ 500)… he immediately changed his tune and said he thought he would be able to get my ticket reduced to a non-​moving violation which doesn’t increase insurance rates or go on your DMV record, but made no mention of getting the ticket dismissed. I new right at that instant that I had given my money to a scheister and that my ticket would cost me $ 950 instead of $ 500. And the outcome was exactly that: the ticket still cost $ 500 and was recorded as a non-​moving violation. I was stunned at the change in what he said PRE– and POST-​payment. If he had said at the start, what he said after he rang up my credit card, I would have never hired him!
A friend who received a red light camera ticket in California went to traffic court to fight it, and the judge said red light camera tickets are not reported. However, Francisco insists red light camera tickets are reported, so I’m not sure who to believe. Either way, even if the ticket *is* reported, it’s just 1 point which doesn’t cause insurance rates to go up (they do after 2 points). I spoke to an insurance agent who confirmed that rates only go up after 2 points, and it’s a 3-​year window. After 3 years, that point will drop off for their rate calculations anyway. So again, if you have a clean driving record like I did, 1 point won’t cause your rates to go up, which an honest person would have told me instead of selling me something I didn’t need.
My friend who went to traffic court got $ 100 off the ticket just for showing up. So I would have been better off going to court myself rather than sending Francisco. Again, a most honest person would have told me I’d be better off going myself, or just paying the full ticket and not hiring him. Basically any other option would have been better, in my particular case.
Again, I’m not saying he can’t get you off the hook from a DUI or 100+ speeding ticket. Sounds like other reviewers are saying he can. I am writing about my experience with a red light camera ticket only and the slick sales job.
UPDATE: You should question why this guy has no negative reviews. I almost caved and removed mine, but decided I’m standing up against bullies.

Man oh man! Mr. Francisco saved the day. My husband got a ticket for left turn with no license plate and more etc and we seriously thought we would have to pay but worse get a point on his record, but he got it dismissed. I’m very impressed with his work and grateful! Definitely one of the best attorney and strongly recommend him.

Francisco is truly The Man. Reffered to by two friends, and had beat my friends dui case, I thought he would be right for my «fast and the furious» case. Before choosing him, I was able to meet him and discuss my case and possible outcomes. Hes a very nice gentleman and listens as well gets involed with his client to have a better relationship among the two. He cares for his clients and is another reason for him to represent you.
Now just for the heck of it, I did look around for other lawyers but his prices were half the price of other lawyers and had two real recommendations so it was almost a win-​win situation.
After choosing Francisco, he took care of my case. He worked his magic, and at the time of my trail, he fought and risked himself to win my case. Hes a negotiator and a winner. He was close to getting an officer to take him away while he was representing me, not for his bad actions but for FIGHTING to get my case dismissed.
He fought and won and had my case dismissed. I couldnt thank him much more and the relief I had for still having a clean record as well as a driving record.
Long story short. He beat my case, what else can u ask for!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FRANCISCO!

Yes, Francisco is «the man».
Negotiated with the cop to change a 1-​point infraction to a petty CVC code that leaves no record in the system and carries no point on the license in exchange for a slightly higher fine. Case dismissed. I don’t think anyone could have handled the matter more effectively.
Apart from that, he is a great guy to talk to, very personable.
The flat fee is reasonable.
As others have pointed out, don’t expect a lot of interaction. Francisco is no-​nonsense and there for you when it matters.
Will absolutely use him again!

Been needing to post this, Francisco has got to be the BEST lawyer in town! This guy simply knows what to do and how to do it. If you’re searching for one right now, you can stop here, trust me.
What was my case?
An Underage (20 yrs.) D.U.I.
What happened?
Got pulled over on 880 N. going 80 MPH, went through the field sobriety test, breathalyzer, BAC % level above 0 (underage), and bam! Took my license away right then and there. Two offenses: dui and speeding.
I didn’t know whether a lawyer was going to be worth it or not. I decided to call a few that I found through Unilocal,google, and other people. I had mixed results; some said they couldn’t do much since I was underage, others wanted to charge $ 4000 to try to handle my case, and others just wanted me to plead guilty and try to bargain for softer consequences. Francisco stood out to me because of his confidence in beating this case, and the fact that his price was a fraction of the other lawyers’. I went with it, and it went down pretty much like this:
I told him what happened — Gave him all the papers (citations) — Paid (can be tweaked) — Waited — Waited. — He beat the DMV case to get my license back (I didn’t have to show up!) — Waited… — Finally we went to handle the court case (which I didn’t need to go to as well, but I did), and he got it DISMISSED! Crazy… I pretty much didn’t have to do anything while he did everything to save my. driving life.
During the waiting process, I was super worried and always anxious to learn of any new updates. Francisco will only contact you if necessary. He only contacted me twice, and they were just to tell me when the court dates were and if I needed to show up. He would always have me worried because I would always need to contact him for any news on my case, but honestly, I didn’t even have to worry. He knew what he was doing and he was always straight to the point.
So if you’re looking for someone to handle your traffic citations, or maybe you’re lonely and need somebody to talk to… lol nah, but Francisco is the MAN (like everyone else here said because it’s true). You won’t regret it, I don’t think I do.. .. .. I KNOW I do. –not regret.
OH, and what other lawyer do you know has COUPONS to offer because I certainly didn’t think that would even exist!
Again, thank you Francisco, see you around just not in your office hopefully.
TL;DR — Best lawyer (quality & price), an easy and amazing win, and I ain’t got no worries

Again. I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THIS.
Francisco is THE MAN! PERIOD!
Read my previous review because I will not waste your precious time restating the facts.
I have been using this 007 Jason Bourne Golden Eye against cops over and over again!
Y U NO Attorney? Attorney fee too expensive?
So U want get points, pay more insurance, and think traffic school safe?
READ THIS –
AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR DAT!
Youre welcome.

Mr. Rodriguez help me with my
court case and help me extend my
community service when the judge refused
to let me and also handle 2 other traffic
ticket cases for me with his affordable
prices really appreciate his big help

As good as it gets !
Attorney Francisco Rodriguez was very helpful in getting a traffic matter resolved strategically. I really appreciate his counsel and highly recommend his service to any out there who needs legal counsel that will listen, approach ethically and help you approach the best solution to your legal matters. Justice was served in my case and I appreciate the many professional and connecting qualities displayed to me throughout my case.
Thank You Mr. Rodriguez and I would be happy to contract with you again should I need legal counsel.
Sincerely
A Satisfied Client !

If you don’t mind paying more than what a ticket might actually cost, in order to avoid points on your license, hiring a traffic attorney is a great way to go. I’ve used Francisco twice, and both times we won, saving me a massive amount of money in the long run. When it comes to traffic attorneys in SF, I don’t know of anyone else who will get it done for the kind of reasonable fee that Francisco charges.
Bear in mind, he takes care of everything. This is a double-​edged sword. You don’t have to do anything once you submit your paperwork to him, but at the same time don’t expect to hear from him until he’s secured a court decision. He tends to work in the background and won’t reach out to you. If you ask for any updates, it might take a while before you hear back. I guess that’s just his style, but takes a little getting used to.

Pros: Productive, knowledeable, and effective
Cons: Too busy at time due to the demand for his services.
Francisco is so busy that it’s frustrating with those that expect timely phone return calls. It’s not completely his fault as the guy has more people wanting his services than he has time. The fact that he will NOT cut you off means that he listens a LOT. So, after experiencing his abilities on a ticket that finally got resolved over a year after it was started he got it done. I would NOT hesitate to use /​refer him. The ticket I got was for speeding and quite a bit past the 70 MPH limit for the area.
