Our Client Testimonials
In June 2019 I had 30 years with the department and was assigned to a divisional homicide squad. I had just ended a lengthy murder trial with a successful conviction. Little did I know I would find myself having to prove my own innocence. I had no idea the adage of guilty until proven innocent would ring so true! I had always followed the law and played by the rules when it came to putting...
Any type of review doesn’t do justice for what Mario has done to help me. After reporting criminal misconduct, I had no idea what I would have to endure from the Department. As things progressively became worse for me at work, I was referred to Mario by a friend. I was an emotional wreck and stressed and in denial that the Department was retaliating against me for doing the right thing. After...
In January 2015, I was removed from my duties pending a Department complaint of allegations of “Serious Misconduct.” Within a few months, I was relieved of duty without pay and my Peace Officers Rights were suspended. I had essentially lost my identity after a dedicated and meritorious service to the City for over 25 years. Without a job, income or healthcare for my family of 5, I was...
I would like to share my experience that I went through with LAPD in 2008 and 2009. I was the focus of an internal affairs investigation that was being driven by a Deputy Chief of Police at the time. Because I was a civilian employee of the Police Department and did not have the backing of the Protective League and because of who was the driving force of the investigation no one was...
09/30/2020 Dear Blue Ribbon, I wanted to thank you for all your help during my difficult workplace dispute resolution issue. It began when I, casually, disagreed with a supervisor who had been calling on my opinion for a while. I simply expressed a fact – the truth to a specific point the supervisor initiated. Unfortunately, it was during a unit meeting and apparently personal feelings...
On May 2021, my fiancé and I were run over by a drunk driver. I was detained by another police agency when I demanded the person be arrested. Due to the nature of the police contact, I was served with a complaint (1.28). I called a friend for help and shortly after, I was contacted by a member of the Blue Ribbon Intervention Center. I received non-judgmental advice during this difficult process....
In March of 2019, while still on active duty, I was faced with an utterly and absolutely baseless Public complaint. Initially, the Internal Affairs investigation totally and completely exonerated me from any misconduct. All allegations were listed as UNFOUNDED based on the presence of unequivocal surveillance video. Although I was cleared of the misconduct, a credulous City Attorney filed four...
My name is A.H. and I work for a large Police Department in the Southern California region. I currently have approximately 17 years on the Job as a sworn peace officer. For 15 years of my career, I went to work with the highest respect, dedication, and love for my department one can have. Up until approximately 2 years ago, I naively believed my department could do no wrong and falsely believed...
My deepest gratitude to Blue Ribbon for encouraging me with unwavering support on my administrative hearing appeal. The court process was long and arduous, but in the end, we prevailed! I believe had it not been for the knowledge of Retired Lt Munoz and his team, my outcome could’ve been quite different. I wish you continued success with all your upcoming cases. Your clients are definitely in...
My 21-year-old-son suffers from Cerebral Palsy and requires 24/7 care. I worked 6 and sometimes 7 days a week to support my family since my wife cannot work to take care of our son. We applied for benefits, but we were denied, and due to our language barrier, we did not know how to fight the process. We also did not know we had to get the conservatorship of our son before he turned 18, which...
