I am so incredibly thankful for Mr. Balam.

I’m active duty military, in the middle of a PCS from California and he was still able to help me settle the issue I had with the car dealership. He got the car dealership to pay off my entire car, and take that car back.

He handled everything for me, and made the entire process SO easy and SO stress free. He was so accommodating even with the time changes and the distance, it was always professional.

Thank you Mr.Balam

Extremely helpful, if you are looking for someone that can help you with your situation don’t hesitate to call. A shady dealership in pajaro was making my life miserable, Balam fixed my situation fast.

Daela George

Good experience overall. He let me know what was and wasn’t possible with my case and we got it resolved relatively quickly. I recommend his services if you’re in bind with an untrustworthy dealership.

Balam gave me great advice regarding a car issue and explained how the California Lemon law worked. My issue was resolved quickly and in my favor. I would not hesitate to use his services again. He was thorough, patient, and very fair. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend The Law Office of Balam O Letona. I had bought a vehicle from a dealership in San Jose and after a multitude of problems and the dealership giving me the run around I had to find a solution. I reached out to Balam by phone and right away he listened and started to help me out. Without Balam Letona's help I would have been stuck with a broken car and out of a lot of money. I can confidently say that if anyone has trouble with a car dealership that they can contact Balam.

Balam is at least a couple of cuts above the good lawyers that will take automobile dealership cases. I called quite a few of those that advertised this service and was turned down by all of them until I talked to Balam. He warned me that my chances were not all that good, but was willing to work with me for as long as I felt that it was worthwhile. While I may ultimately have been able to win my case, as there was certainly fraud involved, it became obvious to me as we progressed that his initial advice was probably the right answer, as it was likely I'd gain a pyrrhic victory. Balam is a class act.
