Antonio Maldonado is my partner, and with good reason: He is astute, practical, engaging, very intelligent, and very knowledgeable about business law in both the United States and Mexico. He is ethical and smart, and I highly recommend him. He is often able to devise creative and practical solutions for his business clients, helping them to accomplish their goals, sometimes better than they themselves realized they could do.

Antonio Maldonado is sharp and always willing to lend advice in his area of expertise. I communicate with Mr. Maldonado often through an online legal community that we are both colleagues and members in, and I often see things in a different light after reading his sharp analysis. He is not only heartily endorsed, but a credit to whatever client or matter he is working on. Highest recommendation.
