About Ugalde & Rzonca

The firm states that the first consultation is free. It publishes material in English and Spanish. It does not state a fee model on its public pages, so none is recorded here.

What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it

LFL Verified 2026

Every eligibility gate this firm's state allows us to check has been checked and held: licensure, discipline, entity, website and footprint. Certification additionally requires a score of 70.

No public discipline

None of the 5 named attorneys carries a disciplinary status on the public register: no disbarment, suspension or disciplinary resignation. Those statuses persist, so the check reaches back years, but it would not show a censure or a suspension since lifted.

321 client reviews

Counted across 1 verified Google Business Profile listings, not collected by us and not solicited through us.

Service in Spanish

Published by the firm on its own pages, which is how this was measured rather than assumed from a name.
