True Stories from Real Clients

What Our Clients Are Saying

Client satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do. These testimonials reflect the quality, care, and results we strive to deliver every day.

    My family and I are eternally grateful for his service
    “Mr. Escobar represented me in a case that I had been fighting for more than a decade. I went through a couple of Beverly Hills Lawyers in the past few years and my case was never resolved, what they couldn’t accomplish, Mr. Escobar was able to do in less than 6 months. There is no other word to describe his work other than “Incredible”. From the first time I met Mr. Escobar, I notice that he came across extremely professional, honorable, and dedicated. He was on top of all of the new laws and was up to date on all the changes as they happened daily. That is very important if you want to have the best lawyer at your side when you fall into an unfortunate situation. As soon as I started my case Mr. Escobar’s team reach out to me immediately to make sure we were on the same page and all documents were in order. Mr. Escobar was in constant contact with me through my entire case and always keep me up to date on the entire process. My family and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Escobar without reservation.”
    - Mr. Zavala
    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.”

    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.”

I have full confidence in his abilities as an attorney. We are very fortunate to have found Steve, he did a fabulous job representing and winning our family members case! We are forever grateful.”
    - Rose
    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.”
