Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 18

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I was a prosecutor on several cases with Humberto Yzaguirre as defense counsel. Through all my experiences with him, he was a thorough professional and did his clients a great service. During the one time I had a criminal trial against him, I saw him aggressively defend his client in the courtroom and not let up for a second. These actions pay off for him, as he enjoys a solid reputation among the legal community as one of the best attorneys that someone can turn to when accused of a crime."

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.
