Our partners have been practicing criminal defense since 1994, and in over twenty-five years of practice, we have successfully defended individuals against a wide range of criminal charges on the state and federal levels.

Our proven track record for success in Orange County stems from our preparation and willingness to aggressively litigate on behalf of our clients' constitutional rights, and their rights to liberty and justice. This unwavering commitment to secure favorable outcomes for our clients has resulted in numerous dismissals, favorable plea agreements, and acquittals. We impress upon our clients that the facts of each case are different, that each courthouse is staffed with different prosecutors and bench officers, and that the demographics of each jury varies at each courthouse.

These elements do have an impact on the outcome of a client's case, but we are highly familiar with the Orange County courts and the local prosecutors and apply this knowledge to each individual case when pursuing the best outcome possible.

    Steve always gave a sense of professionalism.
    “Steve Escovar at Escovar and Avila, LLP did an outstanding job defending me from a baseless, frivolous legal issue and got the matter dismissed without me having to say a word. I’ve had some very high profile attorneys in my business life in the past, and I must say that Steve always gave a sense of professionalism. In addition, he and his office were very organized and it truly felt like he cared. I would highly recommend Steve Escovar for anyone that finds themselves in need of an attorney. We are going to continue to use him with this ongoing matter.”

    Steve Escovar is without a doubt the best lawyer and professional in the business.
    “Steve Escovar is without a doubt the best lawyer and professional in the business. His professionalism and ability to persuade the courtroom to follow his leadership is amazing to watch. He won both difficult and almost impossible cases for my wife to vacate two prior convictions in a courtroom known for its strict conservative position. I would recommend Steve to anyone and any family member.”

    He was honest with me from the start
    “I was frightened and distrustful when I walked into Steve Escovar’s office in December of 2016. The possible consequences to my situation were devastatingly life-altering, and I was worried, to say the least. I had read good reviews on Mr. Escovar’s abilities and results, but I was still skeptical. He was honest with me from the start. He didn’t downplay the significance of what I faced, but he reassured me that if I followed his advice; by presenting him with documents he requested, he would do his job, and the outcome might be better than what I imagined. He was calm and supportive while I fretted. Most importantly, he got the best results I could never have imagined anyone could achieve. He got my case dismissed. He knew I was innocent and somehow was able to make the D.A. realize it too. Steve is a fighter, and he was willing to go all the way for me. He likes to win, and the results speak for themselves. If you’re ever in a situation where your future is at stake, I highly recommend you call Steve. Believe him. Do your part, and he will do his. He’s a professional, he knows his stuff, and I can’t thank him enough for giving me my future back. I don’t plan on having any more situations like this in my life, but if I do, I’d hire him in a nanosecond. Great Attorney. An honest man with integrity.”
