What Our Clients Say
As first time buyers in Mexico it was very comforting to know that the team of Iniestra and Associates were representing my wife and I during the process. This team was incredibly professional and at the same time very personable and genuine. We had zero problems with communication of any kind, in fact I received prompt replies to all emails, texts, and phone calls throughout the process. Arnold, Haven, and Laura were fantastic to deal with and they took a personal interest during the time to make sure our purchase went as smoothly as possible. Making an investment like this from a different country seemed like a very scary task but with the help of the Iniestra team we knew we would be in good hands. All of our concerns quickly went away as it was apparent from the start that the team had our best interest in mind and that they would make sure our purchase details and contract were correct in every way. Each member of the team went out of their way several times including answering emails or texts after hours when necessary. I cannot begin to say “Thank you” enough to all the good people at Iniestra and Associates for making our dream of owning a home in Baja come true.
Chuck and Leslie Uzzle
This team is amazing. Laura, Simon and Haven. Our second Real Estate Closing this week. Even during the pandemic they have provided us with quick and through legal work and closings. Arnols Iniestra you should be very proud of your staff!! I highly recommend Iniestra Law and Notaria 11.
Ron Haugen

We worked with Iniestra Abogados to purchase our condo in Mexico. Being first time buyers of property in a foreign country we were a little sceptical of the whole process. The staff at Iniestra where so very professional and reassuring every step of the way. They answered all of our questions very timely and gave us clear instructions for whatever they needed on our part. We would most definitely recommend them as a top quality firm and will use them again if we have need in the future.
Marcia and Mike Wall
I am an US citizen that has fallen in love with Mexico. I decided to buy a lot of land in Puerto Morelos with the intention of building a home. The process of buying property in a foreign country is scary and can create much anxiety to anyone taking on the process. I hired Iniestra & Asociados to represent me for this process. They provided excellent service making the property purchase process go very smoothly. They did especially well considering we did the purchase at the height of the Covid lock down. I would highly recommend them. They did a fantastic job and I am very happy with the results.
Greg Burchette
We are so happy with all of the hard work that the iniestra team completed to help us to fulfill our dream. Arnold, Haven, Laura ,Simon,Sherwood and everyone on the team that we did not get to meet , what and amazing job!! Great communication throughout the entire process. To get all of this accomplished through the rough year with the pandemic is absolutely outstanding. This is the only legal team that we will ever use in the future or recommend to anyone. Thank you for everything you have made possible for us.
Aaron and Angela Shaffer
Laura and team, Other than the bank taking a long time to dissolve the Leger Trust, working with Iniestra and Associates has worked out very well. The communication from your office has been very good. You are a professional team, and would not hesitate to use you again and tell others to do the same. We appreciate your efforts and thank you again for final execution.
Duane Cole-Realtor
"I would give Iniestra Abogados five stars for the excellent, professional, and thorough work they did for me in my recent purchase of a home in Holbox. I hired Arnold Iniestra and from the moment we first spoke I knew I was in good, safe hands. From my home in Los Angeles, Arnold walked me through the entire process to buy in mexico (using his perfect English) and handled everything. He helped me set up a Mexican corporation, accounting services, and of course, the contract of sale with the Mexican buyer. I am now a proud owner of a beautiful home in paradise, thanks to the Iniestra firm. I would highly recommend using them!" Brian Gadinsky, Film Producer, Los Angeles
Brian Gadinsky
I have been working with Iniestra & Asociados for over three years. They've helped me with property acquisition, immigration, business matters, and accounting. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and very responsive. I highly recommend them to any American needing legal assistance in Mexico.
Sr. John South
We have worked with Iniestra Abogados since 2016. They were recommended to us by trusted real estate contacts on Isla Mujeres. They have helped us establish a Mexican Corporation, acquire property, build a home, and manage both our legal and financial relationships in Mexico. Their advice, guidance and friendly support has been invaluable in helping us navigate the unique aspects of doing business, as a Canadian, in Mexico. We would gladly recommend them
Bob and Diane Graham
My husband and I have worked with Arnold and his firm for over 4 years now. They guided us through the purchase of a condo in Mexico. As Canadians it is a bit of a process but they were patient and helpful. We had to set up a corporation, bank accounts and Power of Attorneys once the purchase was settled. In addition they referred us to a notary who helped us set up our Wills in Mexico. Our ongoing relationship remains very good and we are pleased with the service and information we receive from their bilingual team. We would highly recommend Iniestra Abogados
Vickie Snow Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Licenciado Iniestra and his conscientious office staff are both professional and personal in their handling of our real estate and business needs in Mexico. For the past 4 years, the team at Iniestra Abogados has answered and resolved all of our real estate, and construction questions promptly, professionally and with 100% success.
Nik and Carey Cambridge, Maryland
Iniestra Law Firm helped us with the purchase of our property in Mexico, and they did an amazing job. Our primary contact, Gil, was very knowledgable and professional throughout the entire process, and we always felt well informed. All paperwork was handled well, and we received proper counsel, regarding the needs for proper forms from the seller. The act of sale went through with no difficulties, and we are very happy with the service received. We highly recommend Iniestra Law Firm for your legal needs.
Ken Flynn
I had an excellent experience with Iniestra Abogados in securing my Permanent Residency Permit in practically no time, thanks to the great team at Iniestra. My green card was issued in less than 4 months after I applied, and it would have been 3 months if Immigration hadn't closed for 3 weeks over the Christmas holidays. I had to make just 3 trips to the Immigration office, where Aldo met me and walked me through the process, providing all the necessary papers and photos so I didn't have to worry about anything. And Gil was wonderful to work with - I could text him at just about any time and get a fast response - in his native English! And their prices were very fair and clear - no hidden charges. Very professional.I am now using the firm to get my CURP document - and I'll call on them whenever I need any kind of legal help here in Mexico. They get my 100% recommendation.
Diane Huth
We are very grateful to the Real Estate Team at Iniestra Abogados. Their expertise and English language communication was key to getting our Fideicomiso, Bank Trust, set up to purchase our new home in Isla Mujeres. Our best interests were always their top priority and they patiently explained all the legal aspects of the process and walked us through to a successful closing on our property. We highly recommend Iniestra Abogados
Charles and Kathleen
We have had excellent experiences with Iniestra Abogados. My husband is a real estate attorney in the US and has high expectations of attorneys. Sr. Iniestra and his team provided superior legal advice and professional management of several legal needs. Hiring Lauren as a customer liaison was a brilliant move because she was available with answers to our questions almost immediately, without us having to try to arrange appointments with the busy schedules of attorneys. Highly recommend for real estate and other legal transactions
Karen Ashmore
Fernando - I just wanted to take some time and thank you so much for all of your hard work! We purchased this property 10 long months ago and we have been struggling to accomplish paperwork ever since then. You have been so active in seeing that everything was done and we cannot thank you enough! You have worked tirelessly for months to bring us to this point and now we have finally closed! I know that you intervened on our behalf with both Mundaca and Cibanco. Because you contacted them all repeatedly they finally allowed the closing to happen. We are convinced that we would never have closed had you not been involved! Because of this we look very much forward to working with you in the future! It is a scary thing to buy property and build a home in another country - especially when we do not speak the language! We now know that we have an honest and trusted professional on our side and it give us confidence moving forward! I hope you have a lovely holiday with your family - you have earned it! Thank you again for all of your hard work and diligence! Because of you we now are the proud owners of small piece of your lovely country!
John and Diane Marshall
Our relationship with Iniestra Abogados began when the firm represented us through a real estate purchase. We were so satisfied with their professional guidance and support that we have continued to use their services for banking, accounting and taxes. If you are looking for trustworthy legal help, we strongly recommend Iniestra Abogados.
Robyn Krentz
We hired Iniestra Law Firm to register our condo as a corporation in order to allow us to rent it out. Mexican laws can be very complicated and confusing but Arnold and his team were very patient and willing to explain everything (multiply times if necessary) in detail to us. They are available on short notice and will also schedule phone calls at your convenience. We have been very happy with the services they have supplied us and would recommend them to anyone that is looking for a law firm to handle their dealings. Good job Iniestra Law firm!
Gabels
What an excellent service! They were referred to me from a friend. I was doing a complicated land deal in Isla Mujeres, and whilst the money was only small, there was great complexity in the deal. I was SO lucky to have Arnold and team on the case. They gave me the advice I needed, made sure there was no ambiguity in the contract and got it all done on a super tight timeline of just 4 days including notarising. Across the weekend they worked on this, all for a flat fee. I was blown away when I woke on Sunday to find more questions from Arnold. He had clearly been thinking about it overnight and realised we could make things even tighter! Then to be sure we had everything covered, he spoke to the Mexican land seller and coordinated 100% of what we needed. It was amazing for me not to have to worry. In summary, I'll have no hesitation to use them again. They were spectacular to work with
