Physician

Mr. Espinosa was extremely sensitive to my divorce situation and his office staff was always accommodating due to my work schedule. He was efficient and offered practical advice on a matter that is emotional and difficult for all parties involved. I highly recommend him if you want an attorney who w...ill advocate for you and also offer counseling.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Highly Recommend

First and foremost, he gathered all information about the case and made sure he had it correctly and as well as made sure he tried all options available, not just any random pick. He was professional at all times and never gave me the benefit of a doubt during the event. I would definitely hire him a...gain and would highly recommend anybody to who they trust to handle any law issues.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
