He Stands At The Top Of His Profession
Antonio Valiente took my case earlier in his career, when he was a Public Defender. He quickly took me from a place of fear and desperation, to a place of faith, trust and confidence. Now that my case has been resolved: my feelings of relief and gratitude can't be described. Antonio stands at the top of his profession, but he has never stopped showing me the kind of loyal commitment I would expect from a close family member. Antonio and his support team have given me the highest level of care, always. I will always be indebted to them. Thank you Antonio, THANK YOU.

Mr. Valiente always made me feel like I was his only & most important client.
Antonio took my criminal case & handled it better than any of my previous attorneys. He always answered the phone, even when he was in court. And if I didn’t get in touch with him he called me back quickly. Mr. Valiente always made me feel like I was his only & most important client. Hopefully, I won’t need the services of a criminal lawyer ever again, but if I do I will certainly call Mr. Antonio Valiente. And if anyone I know needs an attorney I will tell them to call Antonio Valiente!

Life Saver!
this man gave me my life back. he's an excellent lawyer. if it wasn't for him i would be in prison right now. i would send everyone and anyone i know to him. because of him i was found not guilty and am free with no house arrest or probation. i cant say how much i owe this man. he gave me hope and confidence because i didn't want to go to trial. i was already giving up and willing to take whatever they gave me but the state never made me an offer. we went to trial and jury found me not guilty on all counts!! he was truly an angel from god if you need a lawyer go to him!!!

Words can't express my gratitude
I feel like words will never be able to express the gratitude I hold for Mr. Valiente's aid in my time of need. He believed in my innocence and fought to protect it, putting everything on the line to fully dismiss a case where complete and easy dismissal could be considered rare. Antonio and his team consistently put my worries at bay and ensured that the bright future I worked so hard to obtain would be unaffected by any unfortunate circumstances I came across. Antonio truly is the best in his field, and the trust we put in each other lead to the most positive and rightful outcome.

Antonio Valiente, trustworthy and knowledgeable in his field
I called Mr Valiente on a Saturday, I will never forget. Not only was he there for me to listen to me but he took his own free time to answer my doubts and questions. In a moment of despair we all need an attorney who will guide us, be there for us and handle the case as best, Antonio is the attorney, in my opinion, for the job, he will get it done. I had all my charges dropped completely. Thanks to the work of Antonio Valiente.

The man standing.

I call my review the man standing, because I remember a lost boy, in a confused life. Standing in a world that was ready to consume him. I remember waking up with palms that that were drenched with sweat. Loud noises from heavy doors slam shut, and men standing in uniforms talking numbers, and walking past us. They leave and we stay. Five years of the same crap! Five years of the same men and women that comes to work dedicated to make our lives a living Hell. As a innocent man I stand tall and firm…. heck who am I kidding. I was broken, afraid, worried, even excepted defeat. I was no longer the man standing. But one man would change that and one man would put the life back in my eyes. Antonio F. Valiente is the Clark Kent of the Public Defenders Office. I have read articles about his successful outcomes in the courtroom, and after a year home Mr. Valiente continues to bring justice to court rooms and to family’s. He is the man standing.

Antonio picked up my case. He was the only lawyer that was sure and willing to go to trial…. and he was ready. I had three different lawyers since my five years in the county. And they all told me that my case wasn’t something that we would win. I was lost and confused cause I was completely innocent. Antonio was my new lawyer on the case and when he jumped on my case. He was confident, walked and talked it. You could see that there was no backing down from Mr. Valiente. When Antonio Valiente was performing in the court room – he not only moved me in opening argument he also moved me in closing as well. His words touched the court and the jury, when he expressed himself. He was the man standing in that room. My life was in his hands. And he fought for me like I was his very own. I remember when the verdict was in, and the jury made there way in the courtroom. Everyone stood and I was still sitting…. too weak to stand…. but that man next to me looked me in the eyes and told me to stand. I look down with defeat in my eyes. He whispered in a firm voice…. Stand up Watson. I slowly rose to my feet and stood at attention. I was now standing side by side with the man next to me when they read the verdict of not guilty. I cried and I fell to the chair in total shock and relief. The man standing looked at me in the eye and said…………. not guilty.

Gifted Attorney!
Hello viewers, my name is Devin and I was one of Mr. Valiente’s client. Well where do I start… First off I want to thank god for bringing Mr. Valiente into my life and taking over my case. I’m here to say that I really wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for this attorney. The way Mr. Valiente handled my case was professional, excellent, and he defended me to the very end. I was facing a life sentenced for something I didn’t do and Mr. Valiente cared about the innocent and devoted his life and time to my case to get me off. Mr. Valiente never showed me that i was just another case as public defenders do because they have a workload of cases. Mr. Valiente had great communication and was very accessible. He answered my calls whenever I called him and kept me updated with everything that was going on with my case. Even after I won Mr. Valiente stayed in touch. Mr. Valiente did an excellent job during my trial establishing my alibi with electronic records and with hiring a computer expert to corroborate with my alibi. The ultimate outcome for my trial was a 10 minute not guilty verdict from the jury on a life felony on which I would’ve never seen daylight ever again. Everyday I appreciate my life and freedom and I can’t do nothing but thank the man above and also Mr. Valiente. One of the best lawyers and I highly recommend him!!

Amazing experience and super professionals

A real god-send!
I blindly hired Antonio Valiente based on the reviews I read online. I was facing felony charges which if there would have been a conviction I would have lost my ability to proceed in my career and support my family. After my first visit with Mr. Valiente, I realized he was knowledgeable, professional, personable, and hard working. After taking my case him and his assistant Alex have been stellar on their communication with me and on top of the case in every way. To make a long story short, I am now free of charges and free to proceed in my career and support my family. Antonio Valiente is a god-send! I will use him every time I need someone that does what he does. There is no doubt in my mind that he is one of the best criminal attorneys in the South Florida area. Thank you for everything Alex & Antonio!

Excellent Attorney!
A dear friend of mine and colleague of Mr. Valiente referred me to him. He took my case immediately. I didn't have to be calling him constantly, he kept me informed at all times on the progress of my case even on weekends. Mr. Valiente is very attentive, professional, friendly and considerate. If I ever need an attorney again, I will not hesitate to call him again.

Couldn’t be Better
Divorce is never a fun thing to go through. During my divorce process, I couldn't have had any better support than Antonio Valiente. Antonio not only helped me by explaining what needs to be done but I could see that my case was in good hands. Everything was done in a professional timely manner and I never felt that I?m alone trying to resolve issues that come up. Going through a complicated divorce alone is not fun, if you are looking for someone who will represent you and deliver results that exceed your wildest expectations that is the only lawyer I can recommend to you. Thank you Antonio for all your hard work, you made this whole process light and stress free.

High Quality Service!
Great service. I called several law offices this day and no one responded to us as fast as Valiente did. It was after hours as well. Did a phone consultation and he immediately knew what I needed and knew how to help us. He took our case and handled it with confidence and never once left us with any open questions. Very professional, polite and what he promised happened. Went into court that day and he helped my nephew with his criminal case. We came out winners because of Mr. Valiente. Thank you so much for all of your help and guidance! If your looking for a lawyer he is your answer! A perfect choice.

Criminal case
Mr. Valiente was great. He handled our criminal case better than we could have expected. He is professional, and we never had any problems. He always consulted with us and let us know what was going on.
- Doug K.

Knowledgeable and Talented
Mr. Valiente from the first phone call, has provided excellent service and knowledgeable service to reduce my charges from a DUI conviction to a Reckless driving. He maintained a positive attitude which calmed my nerves through this process. Mr. Valiente’s experience came into play especially when the State was not ready for my case, he provided them with the information they should have had which led them to agree to the terms without requiring another court date to be set. I have already referred Mr. Valiente to a fellow colleague.
- Jason

Hopefully I won’t need the services of a criminal lawyer ever again, but if I do I will certainly call Mr. Antonio Valiente. And if anyone I know needs an attorney I will tell them to call Antonio Valiente!

Best Public Defender I’ve Ever Come In Contact With
Mr. Valiente represented my boyfriend in a drug case. As we all tend to assume a private paid for attorney would be a better suit because PD’s are usually so busy with all these other cases. But this case was different. Mr. Valiente returned calls, emails, text messages. EVERYTHING. He was hands on with me with everything. Even down to the end of his case we kept in constant contact. I appreciate everything he did for me and my family. He advised my boyfriend on what was best and in the end his sentence was reduced from 15 years to 3 years with CTS. We were pleased considering how severe the case was.
