TWELVE FELONY COUNTS OF INSURANCE FRAUD DISMISSED
Client, a college student, was hired by a personal injury law firm to perform
clerical tasks. Client worked at the firm for one year before earning
his accounting degree. Once he received his accounting degree, he obtained
employment in the accounting department of a large corporation. Four years
after leaving the law firm, client was arrested along with the lawyer
(his former employer), two chiropractors, and one capper. Client was charged
with 12 felony counts of insurance fraud. Client’s bail was set
at $415,000.00. Unbeknownst to the client, the law firm was engaged in
staging auto accidents and filing fraudulent insurance claims over a span
of years before and after his employment culminating in a loss of over
$500,000.00 to the insurance companies. The Madrid Law Firm battled with
the DA for all the documentary evidence, which culminated in the production
of thousands of pages that had to be downloaded on a 4TB External Hard Drive.
Notwithstanding that all the evidence failed to produce one scintilla of incriminating evidence against our client, the DA refused to dismiss. Erica continued preparing for battle relentlessly. A month before the preliminary hearing, the DA offered a misdemeanor plea to one count of insurance fraud. On the advice of Erica, client rejected the offer. It was battle stations. At the commencement of the preliminary hearing, the DA threw in the towel and dismissed the case.
The outcome of your case depends upon who is in your corner fighting for your rights. From start to finish, it took Erica 2.5 years to get the case dismissed. Client was ecstatic over the results.

“You guys are heaven-sent!”
Dear Ed, You probably don't remember me but I will never forget how comforting and patient you were with me at my time of need. You guys are heaven-sent! I'm the girl that was freaking out because of the car accident I was in and I didn't know if I needed a lawyer and if I was going to lose our house. I pray that the Lord continues to bless you and your business! And that he sends you an angel at your time of need like you were sent to me! Thanks!- M.S. -
“If I had to describe The Madrid Law Firm in one word it would definitely be FAMILY.”
It was a Sunday morning, I was in my restroom, in tears, scared, lost and clueless when someone gave me the number to Ed Madrid. I immediately called, not knowing what to say, what to ask, or even if someone would answer (it was Sunday). Ed answered very politely, friendly and caring. He right away gave me comfort and walked me through what we needed to do to get on top of everything. My brother was charged with a very serious drug case, where he was facing 25 years to life. Never had we had to deal with anything remotely close to this so my family and I were scared, confused and saddened. When I walked in to meet with Ed and his daughter Erica, they right away made me feel welcomed and comfortable. They were very honest in giving me the information and at the same time caring as it wasn't easy to hear what my brother and my family would have to face in the process. We had millions of questions and it never mattered what time it was, Ed always answered and explained everything thoroughly. Initially my brother was facing 25 to life for the severity of the charge, Ed and Erica were able to drop it down to 7 – 9 years and, in the final sentencing, they brought it down to 5 years. My brother has currently served half of his sentence and The Madrid Law Firm has never stopped checking up on my family and I to make sure we are all doing ok. In March there was a sentence reduction amendment sent to congress that would benefit my brother, if passed. Ed is already on it! He's giving me the information and is ready to move forward as soon as the law is passed. I always had the impression that attorneys would be sneaky, take your money and when the case was closed they were done and that was the end of the story. Not with The Madrid Law Firm, they always stay in contact and make you feel like you're dealing with family. Thank you Ed for all your patience, your help and your friendship. My family and I will be forever grateful for all your help.- N.M. -
“You always made sure I was protected and secure.”
It is unfortunate that we had to meet under the circumstances that we did, however, I am very privileged to have met you and your daughter, Erica Madrid. During the time you were my attorney, you and your daughter always treated me with the most respect. You ALWAYS listened and paid attention to all the details of my case. The matter in which you treated me and my case is just amazingly great, I felt as if I was the most important client you had. You always made sure I was protected and secure. These past three months have been the longest three months of my life. I just could not move on with my life, it was as if my life was put on hold! Every court appointment that we had, you ALWAYS represented me with the most professionalism, which says a lot of your law firm. My preliminary hearing date came up and I was very nervous, scared, and I just was not myself. The entire preliminary hearing was very intense, however, I always felt so confident in my attorney representing me. After a long hour and a half, it came time for the judge to make a decision, and when the judge said "case dismissed," I could not hold back the tears and the emotions going through my mind and body, I felt so much joy! Right away, I was thanking The Lord for the blessing of continuing on with my life. I was able to breathe without feeling afraid. There are no words to express to you and your team how thankful I am for all the hard work that was put in into my case. Thank you for fighting for me, my life, and my family! God Bless you, your family, and your law firm. May you continue to service others like the way you and your law firm did for me.- S.P.
