Probate Attorney

Mr Murillo was very helpful! He was honest and didn't candy coat anything! Which was appreciated greatly! He was very patient and understanding! We will be using him again in the near future! I thank him so much for his time! Also thank him for being so patient with my questions!

If your looking for a honest, reliable and professional attorney…

My brother passed away 2 1/2 years ago. He had a Will and a Personal Representative to oversee the distribution of his estate. Upon his passing his PR suddenly lawyered up and cut all communications with myself and younger brother we are both heir’s as is the PR. The environment got very hostile,... I could never get straight answers from the PR or her attorneys. So I decided to see if I could get some legal advise. I found a web site which offered free legal assistance, I submitted the questions I needed answered and waited for a reply… Robert Murillo answered my questions this guy is restored my faith in the legal profession . He listened to me and then told me what my options were, I was impressed and hired him that was around the end of January 2024 it’s now 2/25/2024 and I will be receiving my inheritance possibly as soon as next week! This guy takes his job very seriously and gets results. Robert did everything he said he would do for me and much more.

Helped with settling a business loan/personal guarantee

Mr. Murillo was very instrumental in helping me to settle a business equipment lawsuit that involved my personal guarantee. Initially I defended myself as I thought the cost to hire a lawyer would have been prohibitive. As the case grew more complex, I reached out to Mr. Murillo who helped me unders...tand the complexities of the case, and what I needed to do to settle the case without a judgment being awarded against me. His fees were reasonable and he went above and beyond what I expected, and genuinely took an interest in helping me. I would hire Mr. Murillo again if needed, and highly recommend his services.

Thorough and Professional

Robert has assisted me with estate planning, and also has helped me to complete a few residential leases. Each time, I have found him to be very organized, thorough, and protecting of my interests. I recommend him highly.

Thank you for taking your time to answer.

Going through this isnt easy and i must assume providing feedback is not easy either. I really wish i knew the key to unlock an Erin Brockovich type of attorney because in what i described people in similar situations definitely need help from lawyers like her depiction. Again thank you for your time... and i really wish she could hire someone like you.

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.
