He gained international recognition as the publisher of the book "Nosotros", the awarded short film "Tinta Blanca en Avandaro" as well as for being the defense attorney of the band Tinta Blanca during its protest outside Los Pinos when then President Echeverria decided to tackle La Onda movement after the Avandaro festival; however, his support to the counterculture was heavily used against him in future cases such as the arrest of the high-profile Interpol officer Aldana Ibarra.
