Richard Escobar

We hired him for my son never got returned calls there all about money the office staff is very rude never one time came to jail to see my son changed lawyers with in there office many times and my son got a five year sentence when a picture would have made a difference they cared nothing about helpi...ng him they only worried about money and we paid them in full I would never hire them again

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.

I cant thank god enough for letting me come across Mr.Escobar and his team because after the hard search which includes me hiring a attorney who not only did he not do anything for my husband not even go to meet his client while he was in jail which is the reasonable thing to do but also ripped me of...f when i told him we no longer wanted his services. which is when i went for a consultation With Mr. Escobar in which without yet hiring him Mr.Escobar told me he would go to the jail to talk with my husband who was scared and confused being that he doesn't speak English which then lead my family and i into hiring Mr.Escobar for my husbands hard " manslaughter" Case. And i am so glad we did because he accomplished from getting him out on bond to proving his innocence and thanks to Mr. Escobar and his Team and Staff who are so professional my husband is again a FREE MAN.

There is only one word that comes close to describing the services provided by Richard Escobar- AMAZING! Attorney Escobar represented my son on multiple occasions and provided outstanding, impeccable results each time! We all may have heard about Lawyers who are only out to make money – well that is ...certainly not the case with Escobar and Associates. Attorney Escobar and his staff kept us updated through the entire ordeal, provided guidance and reassurance that although he could not promise specific results, he would do his best and he delivered 100%. As a mother with a troubled son, it was an indescribable sense of relief to know that he was in our corner. He not only represented my son with his legal issues, but took the time to provide encouragement to him and a tongue lashing (which was much needed)! He didn’t just see my son’s past but also his potential-you don’t see this type of counsel very often in today’s environment. When going head to head with law enforcement and the procedures and process used to build their case, Richard Escobar is once again “AMAZING” during countless depositions, he asked the right questions to obtain the needed results. We may have been able to find less expensive representation, but never the type of commitment, concern and results that we received from Richard Escobar. Whenever we had a question or concern, they were addressed almost immediately. When we needed to speak with him directly, a face to face meeting was scheduled by his assistant within the same week. The staff at Escobar and Associates are a direct reflection of his commitment. I truly cannot say enough about his representation- every cent spent in obtaining him as counselor was well deserved – as you cannot put a price on the life of a loved one. If you need solid and impeccable representation- start and stop with Richard Escobar.

This is one of the best Law Firms in Florida, and I think the best in Tampa Bay. I was referred by a retired Florida judge, and I am a well satisfied client. Pay what they ask, they are worth every penny. Unlike alot of lawyers this firm has your well being in mind. Great people, it feels good to hav...e a firm like this on your side.
