Impeccable Attorney for Civil Cases
From having a consultation to retaining Attorney Esposito he and his firm has been nothing more than perfect! He unlike other attorneys I have consulted with he did not make me feel belittled or demoralized in any way possible. He listened, gave legal advisement, referred, and pulled through. His retainer and fees were manageable and totally justifiable. Attorney Esposito kept in perfect communications with me throughout my ordeal/case. He took his time explaining to me what was going on, what could possibly happen, and are his plans for each possible scenario. If you are looking for an attorney who is passionate, understanding, and honest do not hesitate to reach out to him.

Great Representation
When I needed a lawyer in Nevada (I live in Maine), it was unnerving and frustrating. After some experiences with other lawyers that left me feeling helpless and not worthwhile I was lucky enough to find Michael Esposito. He was efficient, effective and professional. It was great to be represented by someone I was confident in who was really in my corner.

In depth knowledge and understanding of the law
Working with Michael has been a new experience. I have had plenty of experience in the past with attorneys in litigation but he has absolutely made the experience painless. His in depth knowledge and understanding of the law brought an ease and calm to the entire process and of course the win at the end was the best!

Out of State Probate made easy!
When my wife and I had to find a Nevada Probate Attorney for my mother-in-law's estate, we were very worried about finding a good attorney. Living in New York State, we needed someone who was a good communicator with both us and our New York State probate attorney. We found this lawyer when we hired Michael Esposito! Michael kept in constant contact with us letting us know where we were in the process and what to expect. No questions were left unanswered. He was very easy to get in contact with and always returned our calls within a very quick time! His rates were reasonable and we felt that he always did his best to give us an honest appraisal of where we were in the process and what might happen next. We highly recommend Michael Esposito if you find yourself in need of a good probate attorney in Nevada!

Litigation Attorney | Sep 28
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Michael was one of the first people I met when I first arrived in Las Vegas, and he quickly became a friend and colleague. We planned events together for student and community organizations while in law school and ended up working together years later in practice. He is a well-rounded and immensely competent attorney, and a great resource to Southern Nevada’s legal community. Michael is an easy recommendation, whether for a potential client or another attorney seeking reliable local counsel or a referral."
