Domestic Violence is a really terrible situation to be in. Long story short, "If you leave I will call the police." So I left, police were called, I was pretty scratched up, I was down the street with my dog and my oldest son (keys to my car in my pocket). From prior experience working with DV Offenders I knew the chances of me being arrested were very high. I was asked by the police if she hit me, if I said yes she would have went to jail with me. We have kids, the kids would have been pushed into a situation that is even worse then jail. So I refuse to admit she hit me. I was arrested and charged with a number of felonies, strangulation with the intent to harm or kill, felony assault, and domestic violence (If you seen the pictures of her you imagine a picture of a hot chick crying, no scratches bruises, nothing. just some chick crying). If you seen my picture my hair was busted, I had scratches all over my body, I was tore up. The courts do not care about the truth, they want what they call justice. They want you to be on paper (no prior record), they want you to admit to a crime no matter what the circumstances. This is Template law system. I explained that over and over to my first attorney, and she continued to ask me over and over and over to accept a Felony plea that could be changed in the future. Come on man, if you aren't listening now, why would the court change it later. Next they offered a misdemeanor disorderly conduct associated with domestic violence. Again, I did not commit domestic violence, however if you want to slap me with DC for leaving the house from a hostile situation then fine. I refused to take their final plea. Mr. Lorona was very good at explaining the situation, he was nervous about the possible consequences of going to court (because he believed me, and your putting your life in someone else's hands when you go to trial) I was facing 5-7 years in PRISON as a first time offender. Mr. Lorona was preparing us for trial with REAL JUSTICE prevailed and they dropped the charges on me. Mr. Lorona literally saved my life, he believed in me, and he cost me some money, very reasonable compared to others, but in the end its money I wouldn't of had in jail. With all my heart, thank you Mr. Lorona for saving my life and being an outstanding attorney. Much Love.

Would not recommend Frank Mead. He represented me for my license. He was paid 3500 dollars to represent me at a board meeting and said he was prepared. He contradicted statements I had made on record, which he said he listened to and made my case look that much worse. He was unprepared to answer the questions the board had for me and I had to answer everything and was unsure of how to handle it. He assured me before that I would not have to talk and that is exactly what I had to do. He had no clue what he was doing and when I told him that I was disappointed and felt we could have been more prepared he threw every mistake I made in my face when I was already at my lowest when he told me before “it is water under the bridge”. Well it wasn’t and he blamed me for his poor and unprepared representation and did not help or prep me in any way. I spent 3500 dollars for him to sit there like a dope while I tried to protect myself and needed help. I could have done it on my own and had the same outcome. Please do not put yourself in this position. He will talk you up and make you feel like you’re going to win and do well and get justice and does nothing but hurt your case more.
Highly recommend Lorona Mead if you have been Injured in an accident in Phoenix. Jess Lorona knows how to deal with insurance companies and understands the true extent of injuries. He really fights for and cares about his clients.

When your life is legally on the line, do you really want to trust a public defender? I know I didn't. The police built a case against me that was very one sided because I didn't want to cooperate. It was domestic violence, it turned into the state telling me 4-6 years in prison for a first time offence. Very scary, and threatening judicial system. Initially I went with an attorney that asked me over and over and over to plead guilty. I didn't beat my girl, I didn't hit her, i didn't do anything but leave the house. So why should I plea guilty? Because you won't face jail time she said, I said where's the justice in that. I stuck to my guns (and still have my rights) went and got Jess, and he drug me along through the legal process. Got a felony 4 down to a felony 6, then to a misdemeanor, then to a dismissal. If you want real justice, get an expert that's familiar with the law, the court room, and the legal process, get the best go with Jess. Lorona Mead PLC if you don't believe me look me up and check on my case. Good luck with yours.

At a most crucial time in my life, when as a plaintiff in a case I found myself in search of legal representation of a type most lawyers care not to deal with, my path led me to the door of Jess A. Lorona. As such, and while litigation continued on over a period of several years, I came to realize just how important my decision to team with Jess actually was...both for the outcome of my case in a legal sense and for the way that I would forever look at the profession of law and legal system, thereafter.
The particularly cruel nature of the legal system, by definition, can be tamed significantly by a lawyer sensitive to that nature, yet willing to take it on, nonetheless. Jess is one such lawyer.
Although important to me, it isn't that the elements of my case were so profoundly interesting to the outside world; but that through the process of managing and implementing my case strategy, Jess developed a uniqueness to my case, a persona as it were, and one that I believe ultimately resulted in a certain respect from our adversaries and the court. And I believe that this, bolstered by facts and accuracy, has led to the peace I feel from my experience with the legal system.
Jess not only accepted my case, he believed in me. It is one thing to believe someone, and quite another to believe in someone. As I came to understand what guided Jess along his own path of development as an individual and a lawyer, I too believed in him. I found comfort in his friendly yet assertive demeanor. I was confident in the presentation of my case to the court because Jess was always prepared by the time a deadline rolled around. I enjoyed reading his assertions on my behalf, and he always allowed for my input, and in fact was eager to have it. Years of the accumulation of knowledge and life experience by Jess came together for me at precisely the right moment. And you have to love his smile!
I know that Jess is a family man and that he puts his faith not in his own plan, but in His plan. I can only imagine the peace in his heart for his approach to life for himself; for those whom he loves and is loved by; and, for his approach and favor toward the life of his clients and their loved ones.
With gratitude, I am a better man, a better person, a better believer because of my relationship with Jess. And further, I pray that others will choose as I have and place their confidence and case in the hands of Jess A. Lorona; an honest, qualified, respected and loved, lawyer and gentleman.

Jess Lorona, has been such a help to me for many years. In 1998, when I first came to know Jess, he not only got my fines and sentence reduced on a Federal case, many years later he came to my rescue again. Facing another case, that would have been very bad for me, he saw the circumstances and once again pleaded another miraculous plea deal for me. I owe Jess a very big thank you as my life was ready to be ruined. I have since went on to have a very successful career. My whole family thanks you Jess. Thank you

Jess is probably one of the best lawyers in the Valley. He is well respected and well known amongst the judges. You would be hard pressed to find a better, more experienced attorney who knows how to navigate the AZ court system. Jess was always able to answer my questions, gave me options and was able to expedite the process. I would highly recommend Jess Lorona and his firm for any legal work.
