Forever in Debt to you

Molina worked hard on my case for a couple of months and finally got dismissed! Not only was he on top of my case, but he also communicated with me through the process, explained to me all the steps so I always knew his plan and where the case was heading. I had a hard time for a couple of mos., but ...I trusted him; he fights for me until the end. I could tell that he really cared for me personally about me. I'll be grateful that I have him as my lawyer and I'm forever thankful with all his hard work and efforts.

Excellent Attorney

Ed was super helpful in my case, and was great at letting me know what was going on every step of the way. He’s super knowledgeable and fights for his clients!

Posted by Alejandro | April 01, 2014 | Immigration

He helped me!

I hired Mr. Molina when I was being deported. He fought for me and we won my case. Me and my family thank god we chose attorney Edwin Molina. He always answered my questions and would even explain stuff for my wife. I would refer attorney Molina to anyone who wants a good lawyer that actually cares....

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.
