Amazing Lawyer!!!

Ms. Escobedo provided outstanding representation and truly advocated for her client from start to finish. She handled the case with care, understanding, and a strong attention to detail. What stood out most was her ability to individualize the case to the my family member’s specific circumstances in ...order to pursue the best possible outcome. She was able to get what could have been life altering criminal charges COMPLETELY DISMISSED all together. Her communication throughout the process was excellent, especially for a busy attorney. She and her office staff were professional, responsive, and supportive, making a difficult situation much easier to navigate. She clearly explained her legal strategies and ensured the client felt informed and confident at every stage when necessary. I can truly say she genuinely fights for her clients. If you are looking for an amazing lawyer who is knowledgeable, compassionate yet tough, and dedicated, you have come to the right place. We are forever grateful you Ms. Escobedo! Thank you so much again!!!

Justice finally served.

Sylvia did exactly what she said she was going to do with my case. She supported and believed me and made me feel incredibly safe to be in her hands after being a target. You don't think it can happen to you until it does. It doesn't take as much as you think for a liar to get someone to believe them... to risk changing your life forever. Sylvia got my case dismissed and she shot me straight from the very beginning. Why you would not want to hire someone who has spent their career here in Harris county winning. My corporate attorney and one of my best friends recommended her and it was the right choice, the only choice to make.

Excellent Service Great Lawyer

Sylvia Escobedo was hired on my case for an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge. She kept me informed on everything that was going on with my case. Prosecutors came to her with pleas but the pleas wasn't options for us to take. She did her job as a great lawyer for 5 months and some days.... Those 5months were long and stressful and Attorney Escobedo presented my case to a Grand Jury and my case was "NO BILLED" .SO MUCH STRESS LIFTED OFF MY SHOULDERS!!! I AM SOOO THANKFUL FOR HER AND HER WORK THAT WAS DONE. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE. SHE'S VERY PROFESSIONAL RESPONDS IN A TIMELY MANNER AND WILL "GET THE JOB DONE"!!

Saved my life

Sylvia is by far one of the best defense attorneys in Houston. I was looking at a long prison sentence on a bogus case and she got my charge dropped. I fought this case for two years before Sylvia took over as my lawyer. Six months after she took over the case was dismissed. All I can say to her is T...HANK YOU SO MUCH! I will never be able to repay you for everything you did to help me.
