No matter the need, there is no other attorney to turn to besides Michael Gross. He is the attorney that you want to provide you counsel!

Joseph Esparza saved my 18-year military career, but more importantly the dream of reuniting with my children! I am an officer in the USAF and hired Mr. Esparza as my Lead Defense Attorney when charged with serious crimes resulting from false accusations from my former spouse during a highly contentious divorce. I went to a General Courts Martial. Overall result: Full Acquittal!! If you are reading this, you too may be living this nightmare….there is light at the end of this tunnel, and Joseph Esparza will lead you there. I chose the word “lead” deliberately, versus “guide”, “get”, “show” etc. From the moment Mr. Esparza took my case, he took the role as if the Captain of a ship. He was empathetic to all my concerns, yet had the leadership to direct me when choices got tough. Perpetually confident from his decades of experience , he could “read the waves” and knew precisely which direction to go before anything became an issue. He also led the military counterpart to my defense team (who was exceptional). When I first met with Mr. Esparza, I said “I think you are the right guy for the job”, and his response was, “Oh, absolutely I am the right guy”. Not in a conceited way, but a humbly confident way. Joseph answers emails, texts, and phone calls promptly. He never gave me the impression he was too busy to hear my concerns. Even with my family, who were not technically his “clients” he promptly answered. Joseph was by my side through an investigation, preferral of charges, an Article 32 Hearing, referral of charges, and a General Courts Martial. Overall time, about 9 months. Steadfast the entire time. If you are seeking the absolute best legal counsel, whether military or civilian, LOOK NO FURTHER! Mr. Esparza is worth every dime….a drop in the bucket vs. what you stand to lose. I am willing to speak with you personally if Mr. Esparza desires to give you my contact information. I’d take any opportunity to brag about his expertise more.

I cannot recommend Mr. Esparza enough. His professionalism and experience were instrumental in getting the two cases my son had against him dismissed. Mr. Esparza instantly instills a sense of calm and confidence and I knew we were in good hands after our first consultation. He was very thorough, kept me updated on the progress of the cases and was always available to answer any questions I had. I cannot thank him enough for all that he did for my son. Mr. Esparza is definitely a top notch attorney!

I hired Joseph Esparza in 2020 to represent me in a General Court Martial. My maximum sentence was life plus 28. I was falsely accused of some of the most heinous acts a human being can do to another. Joe helped give me my life back. For over two years he worked with a defense team to clear my name. At all times he was professional, kind, respectful and unlike most attorneys, responsive in a timely manner. Joe helped walk me through some of the most difficult times in my life and I will forever be grateful. I was found innocent of all charges. Joe, you’re an amazing attorney and an even more amazing man. Thank you.

I need an attorney for a situation. Mr Esparza did a great job and I would recommend him to anyone who needs an extremely good attorney.

My son had been fighting fraudulent charges for over a year and was only using the military attorneys assigned to his case to help in this fight. Over that year, the military kept adding charges to show their case was strong. His military attorneys did almost no investigation and just said he would need to plea. My son had all but given up. With just days before trial and no plea deal agreed to, he decided to hire his own legal council. This was the best decision he has ever made. He consulted his divorce attorney and one other attorney he was in contact with and both recommended Mr. Esparza. He hired Mr. Esparza and right from the start, Mr Esparza and his team did the investigation, found fraud related to my son's case, and the result was amazing... not guilty on all charges. So from all but giving up and willing to accept almost any plea deal to winning his life and career back, my son owes a lot to Mr. Esparza. He is now getting ready to go back to his military career in something that has been his life's dream... being a pilot in the Air Force.

I came to Joseph after having problems with my government-assigned attorneys not taking my case seriously enough. Joseph stepped in, fought back, and I was fully acquitted. His attention to detail, excellent preparation, and confidence in the courtroom made the difference in my case. I owe Mr. Esparza my life!

Joseph Esparza and staff are well organized and professional. He was very informative about my case and did as he said he would. I was always informed of any updates through out the case and I never had trouble getting in contact with Mr. Esparza . He actually was very quick to respond or call me back in a timely matter. I highly recommend Joseph Esparza!!

Mr. Joseph Esparza helped me against a crooked chain of command, that attempted to have me separated from the military for filing a complaint against a coworker. Because of his hard work and dedication to my case, I was able to retire with an Honorable Discharge and at my highest rank. He is truly a professional, but even more important to me was the fact that he genuinely cared about helping me win against the powers that be. He empathized with my plight and was just as frustrated by my “leadership’s” mishandling of my case, as I was. He did not; however, allow my emotions or his own empathy get in the way of his methodical, deliberate and logical plan of attack against my detractors. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone facing UCMJ, non-judicial punishment or any “administrative actions” by the chain of command. He will get you the results you wanted!

Mr.Esparza is a great lawyer, he fought extremely hard for my fiancee. His case was a very difficult one and Joseph put in all is efforts to get all the information and details to help him fight this case. I really feel god bless us with such an amazing lawyer . He has always keep us update and was always up front a completely honest about what could happen. He did not sugar coat anything when giving us details on the case or any turn of events. Will all his hard work and dedication my fiancée has won his case. Thank you so much for your help and I would definitely recommend you to anyone that needs a excellent lawyer.
