Excellent and knowledgeable trust attorney

When it was time for me and my husband to set up our family trust, we engaged the services of David A. Esquibias who thoroughly explained the process and the applicable law to us. When we had questions about how deal with certain issues with our family, he listened to, and responded to our concerns ...and eventually provided us with a finished family trust that we have confidence in.

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.
