Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘The Guerra, Hidalgo & Mendoza team is impressive; their approach to jointly reviewing the matters assigned to them far surpasses that of many larger firms. Their quality in litigation is extraordinary; it's hard to find another firm with the promptness and collaborative approach offered by GHM. They offer extraordinary communication skills in English and Spanish, something very few firms in the field can offer in Mexico. As a whole, GHM's attorneys have a knowledge of procedural law that's difficult to match.'

• ‘We have worked with Jesus Angel Guerra Mendez, Patricio Hidalgo Estrada and Regina Tinoco-Ariza González, and they are clearly different from other litigation firms. Their unique approach lies in their meticulous and extremely detailed study of the matters assigned to them. Their knowledge of legislative and procedural matters and their ease in managing the litigation matters under their charge allow them to provide excellent services.'

• 'Jesús Angel Guerra Mendez has an astonishing composure; he knows perfectly when to negotiate and when to take matters to litigation, and he knows how to win those disputes. Furthermore, he can explain extremely complicated matters in a succinct and understandable manner for any type of client.'

• 'Patricio Hidalgo Estrada demonstrates remarkable communication skills before judicial authorities. Regina Tinoco-Ariza González possesses remarkable skills in drafting judicial arguments and grievances, paying extreme attention to detail. Together, they achieve results that are difficult for other firms in their field to match.'
