Richard Escobar

Ethical, logical, intelligent, honest, trustworthy and very straight forward. Extremely professional, one of the best defense attorneys in the state. In unvarnished truth he will tell you exactly where you stand and what direction you should go. He has tenacity coupled with a degree of tenderness ...but never losing site of the end goal, which is to protect, defend and have the best outcome for his client. My husband was facing 2 years of incarceration and potentially house arrest. Due to Mr. Escobar's no-holds-barred approach, meticulous knowledge of the law and mitigation, my husband's sentence was reduced to probation. Navigating through the legal system can be unsettling, especially when you are new at this, but his calm assurance was instrumental in helping us stay the course. Don’t hire him if you are not going to trust him and let him do his job. He will not run up a bill with chit chat or unnecessary communication. He is always on top of the game and never misses a deadline. He is honorable and knowledgeable. Straight forward is an understatement, but he’s not your therapist he is a brilliant attorney who sticks to the facts that matter and have a legal basis, he will cut you off on the frivolous fluff that so many clients want to vent about, this will save you money in the end. He is well respected in the community and has earned this respect following the values of his faith and commitment to his vocation. I highly recommend this law firm for any and all criminal defense needs. His Legal Assistant, as well as his entire staff, were very professional, personable, and eager to assist me in every way possible throughout the entire process. Many thanks also to Mr. Rupak Shah for his invaluable input and research during this case. I can truly say that Mr. Escobar has countered the stereotype that most people have about attorneys.

At the time we requested an initial consultation with Mr. Escobar, my son had bonded out of jail after being charged with a misdemeanor. However, there were also 2 outstanding warrants on my son which increased the seriousness of the situation. With 3 concurrent and active cases in the court s...ystem for my son, the outlook was not very promising. Mr. Escobar proceeded like a master strategist. At some point in time, Mr. Escobar went to the scene of the alleged crime. Later, in his office, as my son narrated the sequence of events which led to his arrest, Mr. Escobar seemed to have a sort of "sixth sense" surrounding what was detailed in the police report as opposed to what my son said actually happened. Mr. Escobar phenomenally dissected the interactions with law enforcement and successfully defended these cases. As a result, my son was exonerated on all 3 cases. Not only is Mr. Escobar extremely knowledgeable on Constitutional Law and Florida Statutes, he remains up-to-date on local ordinances. He is aggressive, polite, diligent and respectful. Mr. Escobar explained the criminal evidence and procedures to us in layman's terms. I unequivocally recommend Mr. Richard Escobar if you or someone you know is facing criminal charges.

If my life depended on legal representation I would hire Attorney Richard Escobar. Over the last 10 years I have hired many attorneys to represent my son and his ongoing legal problems. I can honestly say that Attorney Escobar was the first and only attorney that was prepared in court after examini...ng all aspects of the case and probable outcomes. He saved my son from possible years of imprisonment and recognized the good in him. Of all the attorneys in the Tampa area that I hired over the last many years Attorney Rick Escobar is in my opinion the only attorney to hire and I wish I had found him sooner.
