I found myself in trouble multiple times and each time i have called on Mr Escobar. I first off wanna thank God for allowing me to be able to run across such a great lawyer, not only did he work very hard to produce positive results for me, he also cared about my lifestyle and how it was important to him for me to get myself together. Most lawyers are all about the money but i assure you mr escobar is not only a great lawyer but a great person in general. Again i wanna thank God and thank mr escobar for all he is done..

There is only one word that comes close to describing the services provided by Richard Escobar- AMAZING! Attorney Escobar represented my son on multiple occasions and provided outstanding, impeccable results each time! We all may have heard about Lawyers who are only out to make money – well that is certainly not the case with Escobar and Associates. Attorney Escobar and his staff kept us updated through the entire ordeal, provided guidance and reassurance that although he could not promise specific results, he would do his best and he delivered 100%. As a mother with a troubled son, it was an indescribable sense of relief to know that he was in our corner. He not only represented my son with his legal issues, but took the time to provide encouragement to him and a tongue lashing (which was much needed)! He didn’t just see my son’s past but also his potential-you don’t see this type of counsel very often in today’s environment. When going head to head with law enforcement and the procedures and process used to build their case, Richard Escobar is once again “AMAZING” during countless depositions, he asked the right questions to obtain the needed results. We may have been able to find less expensive representation, but never the type of commitment, concern and results that we received from Richard Escobar. Whenever we had a question or concern, they were addressed almost immediately. When we needed to speak with him directly, a face to face meeting was scheduled by his assistant within the same week. The staff at Escobar and Associates are a direct reflection of his commitment. I truly cannot say enough about his representation- every cent spent in obtaining him as counselor was well deserved – as you cannot put a price on the life of a loved one. If you need solid and impeccable representation- start and stop with Richard Escobar.

This is one of the best Law Firms in Florida, and I think the best in Tampa Bay. I was referred by a retired Florida judge, and I am a well satisfied client. Pay what they ask, they are worth every penny. Unlike alot of lawyers this firm has your well being in mind. Great people, it feels good to have a firm like this on your side.

Having been in a very serious situation, I am glad to know looking back that the decision for Rick Escobar to handle my case was one of the best decisions that could have been made! Right from the beginning I was told what will be happening and how the process works. Never being in a situation like this before, my nerves were put to ease. I was guaranteed no promises but hard work and tackling this case the best way it should be handled. Throughout the time I was always aware of every step that was being made. Whether from Mr. Escobar himself or his wonderful staff. I am happy to say that throughout this experience everything that was said from day one actually did happen. Richard was determined to get his way and he certainly accomplished it. If it wasn't for the determination and accuracy of this law firm, I don't know where I would be. I highly recommend giving him a try. A great man but an even better lawyer. Thanks a lot!

First and foremost I must give honor and praises to God the Father almighty !!
I was referred to Escobar and Associates by another attorney that decided that he was not the right man for the job at hand. My justice and liberty was placed in the hands of a phenomenal attorney by the name of Dino Michaels. Attorney Michaels presented himself as a confident yet a very humbling man. My experience with the Pinellas justice system was a very unpleasant one given the fact that I was arrested and charge with grand theft although there was no investigation nor any evidence to pursue the case in the first place. However the alleged victim took it upon herself to ABUSE her power and position as the judges secretary and her husband as well as a detective with the SPPD. Together they convinced the State to wrongfully pursue a criminal case against me in an attempt to collect some money for a stove and refrigerator that they wrongfully accused me of taking from them. It was a nightmare for nearly two years. Fortunately for me Attorney Michaels was very knowledgeable about the law and the facts. He is rightfully very well respected among his peers as well as in his field. Attorney Michaels was always professional yet he made me feel like I was very much at home and in good hands every time we met with each other. My case ended up going to trial and it was during that time that I knew that I would prevail because I had the best man for the job and I must say that Attorney Michaels did a commendable job representing me in trial. He was so smooth in trial he used the State's prop board (for their closing argument) against them during our closing remarks.. The verdict came back not guilty in less than 20 minutes..... Perfect presentation and Excellent service Attorney Michaels, you ROCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Escobar and Associates, PA is my go to firm forever and I want Attorney Dino Michaels in first chair if ever needed again!!!! I recommend this firm to everyone in need of top rated representation.
Thank you so much Escobar and Associates, PA for taking good care of me!!!!!!! Latosha F.

As I was sitting in jail, I was a man convinced that I would stay there the rest of my life. I had multiple charges including drug trafficking, possession with intent to sell and felon in possession of a firearm. I had overwhelming evidence against me. That is when my family went to look for a lawyer that would take my case. They were turned down by 3 lawyers before one finally took it. I was called in to see my lawyer and figured it would be someone out to get a free and easy buck. When I met him he had a big smile and flashy clothes and a Rolex gold watch. You could tell he was a flashy lawyer who knew the game and was sure of himself. As we talked he gave me his game plan and what he needed me to do. That was to be patient, don’t talk about the case to no one and to trust him. I almost didn’t until he was about to leave and stood up and shook my hand. Man, that was when I knew this guy would step on minefields in a cow pasture just to serve my needs and win my case. It was his humble looking shoes that convinced me he was my man in court. I thank GOD for Richard Escobar coming into my life and representing me. I was looking at 9-12 years and instead got 5 years probation. Thanks Rick, for a wonderful job. And please keep the shoes. They complete you.

My name is Anthony X. Coleman and I have needed the representation of Richard Escobar & Associates on two separate occasions. Recently I was shockingly arrested for Failure to Return Rental Property from a local Rent A Center who claimed that I failed to return a Children's Bunk Bed and Computer Monitor which is a Third Degree Felony. Richard Escobar and his entire team investigated the truth and passionately represented me in a Non Jury Trail which resulted in a Not Guilty Verdict!!! Also, as a Law Enforcement Officer back in 1997 I was arrested and charged with several felony charges. Due to the high profile nature of my charges in conjunction with being a Law Enforcement Officer I needed the best defense attorney in town. I retained Escobar & Associates and they immediately went into action. Attorney Escobar and his team thoroughly investigated the allegations against me getting down to the facts which resulted in all of the charges being dropped and my arrest expunged. I am sincerely grateful and thankful the entire Escobar & Associates team including their professional and empathetic office staff especially Charlene and Karen who kept in constant communication with me during the entire case. I give my strongest recommendation to Richard Escobar & Associates especially coming from a prior Law Enforcement Officer. I give a perfect 5 Star endorsement!!!

"Many people believe there are Angels in heaven, but I can say that I found my Angels here on Earth". Escobar & Associates, P.A. is one of the most outstanding and professional law firms I have ever known. While looking desperately for a criminal attorney due to an unspeakable injustice, I came across Escobar and Associates. My initial consultation was with Mr. Escobar himself who showed the highest integrity standards and ethical values, we as citizens look for in an attorney. I was relieved he listened to my ordeal and quickly appointed Dino Michaels, one of his associates to work on my case. There are no words to describe how grateful I am that Mr. Dino Michaels worked on my case. Mr. Michaels high integrity, ethical values, and fierce commitment to represent a client goes beyond what anyone could expect. Mr. Michaels sense of communication with me as a client helped me understand that he loves doing what he does while helping people. His superior legal representation makes him a tenacious and determined attorney who thrives to pursue his clients' interests while skillfully exposing the reality of the injustice, which resulted in charges being dropped. I will forever be grateful to this outstanding team of attorneys. I absolutely recommend this law firm to anyone in need of an attorney even with my eyes closed. If I ever need an attorney again, I will not hesitate to contact Escobar and Associates first. Thank You for being my Angels on Earth!
