This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Poor Communicator

I retained the services of Esperanza Anderson on June 1, 2023, expecting professional legal support. When I explained my case to her, she was excited to take it and sold me on trusting her. However, my experience was extremely disappointing, especially because she had seemed so trustworthy at fir...st. Ms. Anderson displayed a blatant lack of communication throughout the process, which left me feeling stranded and frustrated. She said she preferred text over calls but then rarely responded, and then completely stopped responding out of nowhere. I was strung along with no substantial progress on my case, nor was I updated on any developments. Despite my attempts to reach out to her or her office and seek clarifications, my concerns were not addressed. The pinnacle of my disappointment came when our retainer was terminated unceremoniously without any explanation from Ms. Anderson. This not only disrupted my legal proceedings but also cost me time and resources in finding a new attorney. I felt disregarded and disrespected as a client. I would not recommend Ms. Anderson's services to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Top-notch litigation attorney

Ms. Anderson is a top-notch litigator and gifted communicator. She has the education, training and persistence to provide excellent representation in employment disputes. Highly recommended.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Espie Anderson is an excellent lawyer! I endorse her without qualification in the areas in which she practices. Having worked on cases together for about half a dozen years, or so, I have always found Espie to do excellent lawyering with an exceptional work ethic. Growing up in the greater LA area, Espie has a Stanford undergraduate, Georgetown Law School and Big Firm background- - - i.e. a very, very solid foundation, which, with her solo lawyering experience, work ethic, native intelligence, and natural people instincts put her near the top of our profession I look forward to working with her on our next case.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Esperanza is an excellent attorney. She is very smart, passionate in her representation of clients and cares about her clients. Although she doesn't pick fights in litigation, she is not afraid to battle, which allows her to achieve the best results for her clients. I would not hesitate to work with Esperanza or hire her on any employment related litigation matter."
