Edgar Navarrete has been my family’s lawyer for many years. Anytime we needed legal advice he has been the best advisor. My most recent case was easy fast and very happy with the end results. I recommend Edgar and his team for any of your legal needs. Thank you for everything I am one happy client. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My parents were recommended to Alvaro Alonso from "Alonso & Navarrete" law firm to close on a family real estate purchase. We cannot recommend this firm for real estate transactions as it doesn't seem like real estate is their strong suit. Multiple mistakes were made on the attorney's side that resulted in my parents having to pay over $10k in additional costs that could have easily been avoided had the attorney done his job properly. First, the closing date took about 5 months longer than anticipated. On the first time they were supposed to close, the close got cancelled literally hours before the close because the attorney discovered a lien on the property that somehow he did not know about until the day of the close, despite having significant lead time to prepare. My parents already took out a loan in preparation for the day of close so they started accumulating interest charges despite not being able to close for almost another 5 months later. Second, the attorney was a poor communicator overall. Almost all communications, if any, were done by his assistant. They weren't proactive. It was mainly my parents having to reach out to them for status and by their responses it sounded like they were stalling for time. One time when my mother called the office, the assistant picked up the phone and the attorney could be heard in the background saying (in spanish) the equivalent of "what does this woman want!". The slow process to close got so bad that the seller took proactive steps to complete some responsibilities that the attorneys should have been doing. This helped speed up the process but again, it wasn't the seller's job to do that. Just a few days prior to the "real" closing day (I say "real" because there were at least 5 closing dates proposed along the way that never materialized) the attorney brought up a transfer tax for the very first time. My parents instructed this should be split 50/50 with the seller to which the seller agreed. Due to miscommunication, my parents attorney agreed with the seller's attorney that my parents would be paying the entire transfer tax. To avoid any further delays, my parents decided to absorb this easily-avoidable $2.3k cost had the attorney appropriately communicated with them. A few hours after the close was completed, my parents were called to return to the office because there was additional paperwork the office forgot to give them to sign. Between the additional interest charges and transfer taxes my parents should not have paid for, once everything was finally said and done they ended up paying an estimated ~$12k in avoidable costs due to poor communication.

Excellent Law Firm. Experienced and they get great results.

Very nice people, great communication and knowledgeable staff.

Well, after seeming confident about this law firm, I now 6 months later, do not feel the same. What a waste of time... I was giving them the benefit of the doubt. But now after 6 months and a whole lot of nothing,I can confidently say this is not a reliable law firm, and will leave you flat on your face and give up on without care nor a good reason to. They Like to argue with their clients as well. Oh and the staff has a major attitude at random times. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CASE! TRUST ME ON THAT. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!

Poor
